This week, I’m getting personal. Back in January, I made a commitment to get outside for a walk every single day  in the month of January- even through Michigan’s cold, dark and generally unenjoyable winter. What started as a month long challenge quickly turned into an almost year long habit… and eventually, part of my identity.In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about discipline, discomfort, and how real change happens - not overnight, but through small, consistent actions that reshape who we become.Whether you’re working on your fitness, nutrition, or mindset, this one will remind you that the hardest part is starting  -but the most rewarding part is who you become when you keep going.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d
