2025 - Wellness Journey
Five months ago, I took a breath, laced up my shoes (well, maybe just sat up from the couch first), and made a choice that would change everything. Investing in my health has been the best decision I’ve made all year - and honestly, it’s the kind of investment that pays dividends I never saw coming.
When I look at where I am now compared to day one, I know some might say it’s “not much.” A little less weight on the scale, a little more energy in the morning, a goodnight sleep, a little easier to climb the stairs without catching my breath. But for me? It’s everything. I’m so, so proud that I found the courage to take that first step into wellness. That first step is always the scariest - it’s the one that breaks through the “maybe tomorrow” cycle and turns “someday” into “today.”
This journey isn’t just about me. Every time I choose a healthy meal over junk food, every time I push through a workout when I’d rather stay in bed, I’m doing it for the people I love. I want to be here for their milestones, to laugh until my sides hurt without feeling winded. I want to be present - truly present - for all the moments that matter.
And yes, “malayo pa pero malayo na” (there’s still a long way to go, but I’ve already come so far). That phrase has become my mantra. It keeps me grounded when I feel impatient, and it fills me with pride when I look back at how much I’ve grown. This isn’t a race - it’s a lifelong commitment to taking care of the one body I have, and I’m grateful for every single step along the way. So here's to 2025 - looking forward to 2026 and becoming the healthier, if not the healthiest, version of myself.
