Hi! My name is Cassy.

I am trying something new today. Something WAY out of my comfort zone. But I was challenged, so now I can’t back down. #competitivenature

A little back story. I am a 28 year old math teacher living in Small Town, Kansas. I’m really a happy, adventurous, introverted girl who is just trying to live her best life. The problem is my weight. My weight has always gotten in the way of living life the way I want. I’ve been on a weight loss journey for almost 4 years now. I’ve had some ups and downs but ultimately I’m back right where I started.

A couple weeks ago, I bit the bullet and started the Noom program. I know, starting another weight loss program right before the holidays is pretty ballsy, but I’m starting to get a little desperate. Plus, I heard a quote on Tik Tok that said if you are choosing to wait until the new year to make healthy changes, then it’s not the new you talking, it’s the old you. The true new you would start today.

Now Noom has gone and challenged me to make my journey public. As an introvert, that terrifies me. So I decided to do a blog. I figure it’s public, but only people search for me. Then as I was putting this site together, I had a revelation.

The reason my weight loss journey has failed so many times is because of all of the areas in my life I’m unhealthy in. Physical, Nutritional, Mental, Spiritual, all of it needs work.

So today is my 500th day one. Ish. I’ve had so many day one’s in this journey, but I’m learning that that’s ok. As much as I hope I never have another day one, realistically this is probably not going to be my last one. The difference from any other day one is I’m not changing everything at once. Today my goal is some gym time and get more water in. It’s called a journey. Not a vacation.
