Finally got a few hours to get out in nature. Hiked the Sitton gulch this evening. a 4 mile in and back trail with 600 stair killer at the end. It was hard. I was tired. Brandon was tired. We didn’t bring any snacks. Our energy is depleted. We made it. Here’s to more nature in 2018 and spontaneous hiking trips. Ps, I’m working on my yoga poses and yes, I know my triangle pose needs improvement. #nature #sittongulch #cloudlandcanyon #coupleswhohike #spontaneous #yoga #beginneryoga

On the right: 1/18/18 the first month I got serious about fitness. I Started working out 4 to 6 times a week. I didn’t know much about nutrition or have a steady workout plan. I started doing research and got the help of an online coach. This was my first progress picture. On the left: today, March 17 (pic says 18 but it’s close enough right? 🤷🏼‍♀️) Three full months since working out consistently 4 to 6 days a week. I do mostly weight training with a little bit of cardio every day day. I’m continuously learning about nutrition and around month two, I was so hungry all day and I didn’t know how to handle that. Now I eat a small pre and post workout carb and add protein immediately after. I’ve learned so much about my body and am so proud of myself. You may not be able to see huge changes in these three months and that’s okay. I still weigh the same as I did before, however I have gained two whole pounds of muscle, lost one pound of fat, and am getting stronger every single day and continue to surprise myself with what my body can do. #iifym #girlswholift #work #sweat #healthylifestyle #goldsgym #trainers #mealprep #transformation #facetofacefriday #fatloss #gains #musclegains #leanbody #jekyllandhyde #precarbs #postcarbs #protein

In three months I’ve stopped eating out every day, developed a fitness habit, gained two pounds of muscle, lost one pound of fat. I learned that you have to eat more than 800 calories a day for your body to function properly, I learned that healthy carbs are essential to muscle gains, I’ve broken the starvation, binging, guilty cycle that I was stuck in for a long time, I learned to make time for your health and appreciate what your body can do for you when you fuel it with the right nutrients. Does this mean I never eat too much? Does it mean I never eat any sweats? Of course not! If I “treat myself” or over indulge then I forgive myself and know that I wanted it so I got it. I NEVER restrict myself because I’m not on a diet. I’m on a journey to a healthier lifestyle both physically and mentally. This week my husband helped me meal prep by actually grilling all my chicken and I am so excited for this meal prep week. All my food is on point. I will pretty much hit my macros for today. #iifym #mealprep #fitness #healthyhabits #goals #gains #macros #fatloss #musclegains

Before I started working out every day, my hands were so smooth! #girlswholift #iifym #callous #goals #healthy
