5 Years, A Ton Of Wins

5 Years, A Ton Of Wins

MDROhoe Report

Lost over 220 lbs, earned a nursing degree, moved three times, dyed hair for the first time, had a first kiss, made solid friends, and even went on a spontaneous solo trip to Hawaii. Plus, battled those “give up” days like a champ.

    Starting a glow-up journey is like trying to beat that one impossible video game level - it’s tricky, frustrating, but totally worth it. Most of us have those 3 a.m. ‘new me’ pep talks and then snooze right back into old habits. We get it, change is tough!

    Let’s chill, have fun, and enjoy the ride together.

    Used to be, “glow-up” just meant a pretty makeover - think makeup and glam. Now, it’s a total life upgrade - mind, body, and soul. It’s the full package, baby.

    Here’s the deal: you get to decide what your glow-up looks like. For some, it's getting 1% healthier or nailing one good habit without losing their mind. No pressure, just progress.

    Mental game? Super important. If your brain’s going, “Nope, not today,” chances are you’ll tap out early. Flip your thoughts, sprinkle in some positive vibes, and celebrate every little win - even if it’s just drinking more water.

    Life throws curveballs - hello, drama! Building emotional muscles helps you swing back. Journaling, good sleep, talking it out, or Netflix binge - whatever helps you reload, do that.

    Boundaries might sound like a boring grown-up thing, but nope - they’re your secret weapon to keep the energy vampires away. Saying “No” is suddenly your superpower, and your peace level goes through the roof.

    Once your inside vibes are on point, time to sprinkle in healthy habits - drink water, move a bit, catch those zzz’s, and eat like you actually like your body. Slow and steady beats crash-and-burn every time.

    Try treating your glow-up like a fun science experiment. Test out new habits for 30 days - maybe yoga, writing, or reading - and see what makes you smile from the inside out.
