I hope you enjoyed my story. Please share your similar experiences in the comments below!

I am making choices to choose as many natural fabrics as I can and where possible I am getting pre-loved pieces for my home. I am making a conscious decision to avoid 'fast fashion' and trying to by locally where I can. I'm growing my own vegetables and fruits for next summer and I am eliminating as much single use plastic from my life as possible. I'm not perfect and it will take time but if we all made a significant effort then we could make a significant difference.

⠀ I am pretty passionate about health and fitness, but that wasn’t always the case. ⠀ ⠀ I think a lot of people look at my life now and think that I came out of the womb ready to workout and eat my vegetables. 😂⠀ ⠀ This couldn’t be further from the truth.⠀ ⠀ A few facts about my life before I learned more about health and fitness:⠀ ⠀ ➖I was always active in sports but I had 0 knowledge about nutrition. I didn’t care about fitness, I just wanted to get better at sports. ( Basketball and soccer ). I hated running in soccer and basketball practice. ⠀ ⠀ ➖ In High school, I ate Nachos most days for lunch and I drank soda every day. Every. Single. Day. ( if you knew me well in high school you can confirm this lol )⠀ ⠀ ➖ My first job was working at a fast food restaurant called Jimboys Tacos. You bet your ass I indulged in a lot of Jimboys tacos. ⠀ ⠀ ➖ I didn’t start learning more about nutrition until I started having some digestive issues. ⠀ ⠀ ➖ I started making small changes and started to connect how what I put in my body made me feel. ⠀ ⠀ ➖ I became fascinated with how the human body works, nutrition, and cooking so I went to school for training/nutrition, and then after that I went to culinary school. ⠀ ⠀ This is a very long health/fitness journey short, but I just want you to know I didn’t always eat and workout the way I do now. I started with small changes. ⠀ ⠀ 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁! ⠀ ⠀ My current diet is a product of experimenting with what foods I enjoy and make me feel best physically. ⠀ ⠀ Now I just like to try to teach and support other’s in their health and fitness journeys while continually nerding out on all the fitness and nutrition information. 🤓⠀ ⠀ If you are at the start of your journey, take it slow, small changes add up! You don’t have to do a complete 180 overnight. ⠀ ⠀ What small changes are you working on making? ⠀ ⠀ #fitness #health #food #nutrition #workout #smallchanges #patience #keepgoing #fit #ftm #ftmfitness #bodybuilding #health #fatloss #weightloss #musclebuilding #physique #motivation ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CALzTVTAdjH/?igshid=1o6dbqwtw5mx6

@beardedguywithflowers , small transformations are important too. We should always change ourselves. Jordan let beard go and has lost some pounds. He looks incredible in both. #smallchanges #littlechanges #nobeard #thinnerleanerstronger https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz2kIeXhcpy/?igshid=su77t46kfqc6

Happy Earth Day! 🌏 It's so easy to get lost in our own emotional problems that the simple fact of looking after the world we live in gets forgotten. But the world is there for us whenever we need it: it gives us natural beauty and sustains what we need to survive. It's the small changes that make the difference: taking your own bags to the supermarket, disregarding plastic straws, eating less processed meat, making sure to recycle, finding a bin instead of littering. We can make a difference to the world that gives us so much ✌❤ #earthday #earthday2018 #forest #nature #beautyinnature #woods #trees #runningoutfit #natural #ginger #green #savetheworld #smallchanges #natureappreciation #treehugger

I know I'm not wearing the same clothes and all that, but I can see enough difference here to stay motivated. 😄 I'll take it for a month of ups and downs! Also, I always tend to take these after a shower so I'll probably always and forever look like a wet dog in my progress pictures, but I don't care. 😂 . . . . #transformationtuesday #weightlossjourney #weightloss #smallchanges #progress #diet #mywls
