Hey you all! I know it’s been some time since my last post and I apologize, it’s been a busy busy year. I’m sure most of you can relate! Well I’m back and I am on an amazing journey in my fitness life. It’s been inspiring and I just had to sit down and share.
First let me begin with the gains I’ve developed using my own workout program. Yes, I created a program to help build and gain muscle all in the right places and how to do it quickly. It’s not for beginners and it’s very intense. At least, that’s what my volunteers said lol. Since using my own program, my thighs and rear end have changed significantly and in a positive way, i have also gained strength in my core which is very very important. Sometimes, I can’t believe the growth of muscle I’m experiencing especially in my flutes and legs. My booty is rounder and plumper and my legs are shapelier all while my waistline is getting smaller. It’s been an amazing transformation to watch.
I’ll be honest and say, I don’t workout everyday. I don’t even really follow a schedule. I follow my body’s cues and my intuition. I don’t over exert myself and I take breaks. This is just how I feel it needs to be done for me to get the most out of my workouts. Everyone is different, remember that. My only competition is myself. I don’t allow what other trainers and other fitness gurus say or do determine what I should be doing. Their journey is not my journey and that is quite alright. I know what’s best for my body and that’s what I focus on.
Let’s talk about diet. I eat pretty clean most of the time. I consume more protein now to keep up with my gains and I don’t shy away from healthy carbs. Again, I want to make sure I keep what I gain and keep gaining. My diet consists of plenty veggies and fruits, meat like chicken, salmon and other fish, carbs such as mashed potatoes, yams, rices and other grains. I’m not a breakfast person so what I’ll do is drink a high protein smoothie in the morning instead and sometimes I’ll eat some fruit. What I do plan on adding to my diet is more healthy nuts. They are a wonderful source of protein along with other nutrients. I must stress that I came to find that this diet works best for me through trial and error. I tried being vegan, and even tried being pescatarian. But ultimately I was denying my body of foods that I needed in order to get the results that I truly wanted so I decided that those diets weren’t for me at this stage in my life.
It’s been an amazing journey so far and I’m excited to see what my body will look like a year from now! So my advice to you reading this is to find out what works for you and stick to it! You will see results and you will be very proud of yourself!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
