My Morning Routine Boosting Weight Loss & Productivity
I’ve been working on having a solid morning routine for some time now. Morning routines are important to me and when I’ve got one that’s well-constructed, my mindset is being worked on consistently, I’m following through on my self-care instead of neglecting it, and I’m taking care of the healthy habits that lead to overall wellness and consistent weight loss.

As someone on a tight budget that needs to eat as healthy as possible for as cheap as possible, this has worked the best. And not only for my budget but also on my weight. When I’m being good and sticking with it.…

It’s the easiest way to get back on track with healthy eating. Give this food…

My latest weight loss journey update to date: I’ve gained weight. Lots of it. I’ve worked through some things and I think I’ve overcome the shame of gaining weight after telling “the world” I’ve lost it. This was actually challenging for me. So challenging, I was willing to go broke and neglect my blog. I too got caught up by all the negative things usually said about folks that gain weight.
