2021 -> 2025
Yesterday was a wild experience. I went shopping with a friend and was sizing down on so many items in the stores. Grabbed a large - too big- get a medium. Tried a 14, but a 12 was also too big.
One of the challenges I've found from my own personal journey is getting my brain wrapped around this size of mine. Going from a 2XL top, 3x/4x bottom, and about a 24/26 dress size- shopping in straight sized stores feels like an unreal dream.
I'm astounded at my progress and can't wait to see what the future brings.

It's almost Saturday morning at - and that means a full morning!
Not signed up? Come on down. We will probably have room in BBT & Top It Off. Hot Pilates Mat might have an extra spot provided by those who sleep in a little- so come on down.
See you there!

It has been a journey- and the journey is never over.
I am celebrating a big weight loss milestone - 150lbs down from my highest.
332 -> 181.7
Here I am wearing the same Zumbawear jacket (I wish I could go back in time and get it in my current size 🥲). I used to only be able to wear tops, shoes, and other Zumba accessories. Now I can go head-to-toe in Zwear and it feels amazing.
I am so proud of what I have done for myself and finding the tools that work best for me to get me here today.
A special shout-out to my friends and family who have been my biggest supporters and hype-people.. especially those who did not treat me differently when I was in my larger body. I appreciate y'all so much.
I still have a bit more to go and soon the lose skin will be an issue, but I'm looking forward to where this journey takes me.

Sneaky peak of one of my favorite things so far in one of the rooms I'll be teaching in on Saturday mornings soon. Stay tuned!

Hey. All I'm saying is anywhere can be a dance floor if you know where to look.
