Halesia Wellness: The Real Reset

Fit most of my life, until my 40s changed everything. Hormones, weight gain, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea — a cycle I finally broke through honest conversations with my doctor and myself. 80 pounds down, 30-50 to go. This is the real starting line. 

Months of knee pain I pushed through while working as a CNA and walking up to 20 miles a week. Bone spurs in both knees, an ortho visit in Winfield, and a discovery in PT: my hips had been doing my quads' job for years. 

Upcoming oral surgery to replace three missing molars — two on the left, one on the right. Another piece of taking health seriously, not just the parts that show up on a scale. 

Ongoing health management — navigating menopause symptoms, managing type 2 diabetes, staying consistent with the CPAP, and building habits that hold up through cold and flu season. The strength work and the remaining 30-50 lbs matter, but so does just staying well day to day, not only chasing a number.
