Spilling the Tea!

Spilling the tea on week one of the tour.

Week one of the Reinvention Tour is almost done and I want to check in honestly — because that is the whole point of this. No filter, no highlight reel, just what is actually happening.

The positive news first. I am feeling more positive this week than I have in a while. Something about making the decision — naming it publicly, saying it out loud on the blog — has shifted something. The decision itself has energy. I did not expect that.

I started walking this week. Not dramatically, not perfectly — just building. A few more steps each day than the day before. Today I hit 9,000 steps. Yesterday was less. Tomorrow will be more. That is the whole strategy and honestly it is working. My Gemini twin brain is significantly less annoyed with me.

The body dysmorphia is still very much present. I want to be honest about that because I said I would be. I look in the mirror and the voice is still unkind. But I am noticing it now rather than just believing it — which feels like the tiniest possible first step in the right direction.

Something else shifted this week that I did not expect — my appetite. I am not as hungry. I am not sure if that is the walking, the mindset work or just the relief of finally doing something. Just simple, wholesome food with the priority on protein. That is the whole approach right now and it feels right.

Words are spells. So this week mine is simple:

I am doing it. One day at a time.

How is your week one going? Tell me in the comments — the honest version. I am right here with you. 💛
