Why did you start?: I was tired of being unhappy with my body, always talking about it and thinking about how much I disliked what I saw. I knew it was time to change my entire lifestyle for the better, so that I could feel happy with myself.
How did you lose the weight?: I really had to start with my diet first. I cut out all of the things that were negatively impacting me; processed foods, gluten, un-natural sugars, dairy and high fatty foods. I began to cook for myself every day, eating the right portions, increasing my protein and making sure that I ate as much whole foods as possible. From there it was about finding a fitness routine that worked for me. I started with heated yoga sculpt classes and began to switch up my routine, working in barre, pilates and running. I knew I wanted to continue to enjoy life, but do it the right way.
Diet: (a sample daily diet is preferable, even if you didn’t stick to one meal plan throughout and just ate healthier, give an example of a healthy day meal 1/meal 2 etc Also you can add a little about your philosophy on your diet)
Breakfast: Either protein shake + fruit or egg whites (1 yolk) with avocado
Lunch: Healthy wrap, chicken breast, quinoa veggie bowl
Dinner: Grilled chicken, grilled fish (salmon or mahi usually) with veggies, quinoa
Workout: (Your workout routine, be as specific as possible)
My workout routine consists of:
- Heated yoga sculpt 1-2x per week
- Weight training in the gym 1-2x per week
- Running or other cardio 1x per week
- Circuit training in gym or at home 2x per week
How did you stay motivated?: My motivation really came from reminding myself how I felt when I ate healthy and worked out. That feeling I got was hard to beat and could never return if I was unhealthy. When I started seeing progress, that gave me even more of a lift! Also, having a workout buddy is a HUGE help…really keeps you accountable.
