## Caption

Around this time, I would clock in a post about my career wins for the year and most noteworthy interviews. While I did have a great year again on that front, my proudest milestone is my weight loss. It was around this time last year when I started noticing my weight gain and desperately wanted to do something about it. 

In the middle of January, I purchased a new scale, began binging on weight loss and resistance training videos on YouTube, and developed a stronger sense of discipline. I stopped drinking, started tracking my calories and meals, and fasted. I went to the gym four days a week with a built-out plan rather than just doing what I felt was right. I lacked structure and accountability on that front. I owned that and knew changes needed to happen if I wanted more front-facing opportunities. Ironically, that ended up being the case, as I got back on the red carpet this year, did way more TV interviews, and was even on CBS Mornings in the spring. 

The funny thing is, compared to my June reel, where I posted my six-month progress and was 208, I’ve plateaued between 195 and 198. While it’s been annoying, I remind myself that these are good problems to have compared to when I was hovering in the 250-255 range. 

So, for those aiming to get right in 2025, stay the course, stay disciplined, and, most importantly, give yourself a bit of grace because not every day is going to be pretty.
