Why I Built NourishPace
About 15 years ago, I was roughly 110 pounds heavier than I should have been. My relationship with food was not healthy. I was not making intentional choices. I was eating automatically, constantly, and without understanding what I was doing to myself.
The thing that changed my life was not motivation. It was data. I logged my meals religiously for a year. That gave me enough visibility to see patterns, make adjustments, and stay honest with myself. Over time, I lost 120 pounds, started running, and eventually ran four marathons.
I have kept the weight off. And even now, when I feel myself slipping, I go back to the same habit: track the inputs, look at the numbers, and make better decisions. That is the real point of NourishPace.
I was overeating, disconnected from the numbers, and stuck in habits I did not understand.
I tracked consistently enough to see the truth, correct course, and build habits that held up over time.
I still use tracking the same way: not for punishment, but to make fast, data-driven decisions.
The Core Philosophy
It is not really about weight loss. It is about being able to make data-driven decisions before small slips turn into major setbacks.
