I've maintained a 40 pounds weight loss and no longer struggle with the afternoon brain fog and low energy.
Now I can keep up with my active family and enjoy their adventures!
I am a mother of three, married, and a speech language therapist who leads a very full, busy life. With an active family, despite my best intentions, I was too tired to cook a healthy dinner and would grab something quick and easy but not nutritious. Potato chips were my go-to snack, but they would rob me of my appetite for dinner.
Upon joining Healthy Free Life, I enjoyed reading many of Katrina’s book suggestions such as Atomic Habits by James Clear.
While I am not a fan of using a paper tracker, I do enjoy tracking my habits on my phone. I try to hit 80% with all my habits. Tracking helps maintain habits and experience weight loss. I have lost 40

pounds and have been able to maintain the weight loss.
When I get off track, I can easily get back on track with what I know from Katrina’s teachings because I've taken the time to instill them into my life. AND, I no longer have the energy crash and brain fog feeling in the afternoon!
I took Katrina’s baby step teachings to heart and started with just ONE habit for two months, which was my worship habit. Then I started drinking more water, etc.
Also, I don’t wait for motivation. I simply took the baby steps Katrina suggested and the results I experienced motivated me. For example, I was thrilled to start seeing shoulder muscles as a result of

doing the HFL workouts! I love the workouts because they are effective even with only 30 minutes (the first baby step is a 2-minute exercise habit!). And I can always do just the 7 ½ minute workout if I am short on time.
As a result of starting with the baby steps, slowly building upon them and tracking my habits, I have peace knowing that I am able to maintain my health and I have all the resources I need in the Academy to go back to in order to refresh my memory and continue learning.
I am so grateful that the HFL team is always there to answer my questions and they put the Lord first.
