I eventually learned that journaling is an essential step in this process, so I wrote my version of a journal in 2023, which includes a health tracker element. I also emphasize rewarding yourself! My favorite dessert reward is a mid-afternoon Turtle Sundae 😉

Gloria Petersen is an Innovator!
Her career highlights include scripting, hosting, and directing her “Image of Success” series on the FOX network without prior television experience.
The 30-minute series aired for 13 weeks in 1986 and was cataloged in the TV Guide.
“Image of Success” was a reality show before the reality TV genre became popular. A local executive search firm volunteered staff for makeovers, resulting in remarkable transformations. The series achieved high ratings, but the new time slot offered was unfavorable for her sponsors, leading Gloria to conclude the series.
