Alyssa Pannozzi

in early January, I woke up one morning and decided I wanted more for myself this year. I told myself I wanted to step into 40 feeling my absolute best and promised myself I’d do the hard work to get there.

running 5 marathons in the fall was UNBELIEVABLE, but over time, I learned that I was a little more in survival mode than I would have liked to have been. I was doing what I had to do mentally and physically to preserve most of my energy for just showing up at the 5 starting lines and willing myself to the finish.

this year I’ve made some MASSIVE changes. the second slide is January, the first slide is today. what I see now is a version of me who understands what she wants for herself. I was smiling in both, but the one on the left is the happier one. the one who made a lot of tough decisions. who decided to surround herself with positive people. who decided to cut ties with those who didn’t serve who. who said no a lot more than yes and decided to be intentional with EVERYTHING… how I train, what I put into my body, how I spend my time, who I spend my time with, what I prioritize… but most importantly … how I treat myself.

it’s no secret that just like most, I too struggle with . therapy on Wednesdays is one of my fav parts of the week. I’m a constant work in progress, but I can confidently say that today, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

I saw this sign on the mirror today (thanks ) and stopped and paused for a moment because wow…. It’s amazing what can happen when really do just keep showing up.

for anyone else that needs to hear it, you got this. . and I got you - always ❤️
