How I lost weight and kept my 🍑

𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫! I am no personal trainer nor a nutritionist.

Here are some breakfast meals and quick tips on how I lost 47lbs and grew a rounder dump truck 🍑😛⬇️⬇️⬇️

1. Genetics🧬: Yes, genetics do play a significant role in shaping your body, but that doesn't mean you can't make impressive changes. While it might not be possible to go from one stage to a dramatic transformation overnight, with consistent strength training and the right nutrition, you'll see significant improvements over time!

2. Cardio + strength training 👟: Wear comfy shoes!! Finding the right pair of shoes for cardio made a difference in longevity and mobility. I included jump roping/ HIIT, and running in my daily routine. Once I became comfortable I did walking/jogging and running intervals until I was able to jog/run a mile in under 15 minutes. I aimed to burn at least 300 - 500+ cals per cardio session. I worked legs twice a week and combined compound and isolated workouts for push & pull days. You can find isolated glute and hamstrings exercises with a quick google search.

3. Calorie Deficit ⚖️: I began seeing results almost immediately especially in my stomach and thighs once I increased my cardio and reduce my caloric intake. Please do some research before changing your diet, you should ease into it. To lose weight I started burning more calories than I was eating.

4. Consistency📈: There were days I lost motivation which is okay! It took me about a year to create a solid workout routine that actually showed results. I stayed consistent by creating a bomb music playlist, and keeping track of my gains/loses in my notes📝. If those aren’t enough try getting a personal trainer or accountability partner!

5. Pre/Post Workout 🔋 : I exercised about 4-5 days a week for about 90 minutes. Before my workouts I’d do some dynamic stretches, this reduces risk of injury and helps with mobility. Depending on the body part, I would include mobility stretches (you can find examples online). Post workout I did static stretches, massaged my muscles on a foam roller, then hit the sauna for about 10-20 mins. Rest days are 🔑. On my rest days I would do some yoga, swimming or simply….rest which is also okay.

Conclusion🏁: Your fitness journey is all about YOU and you only. Do not compare yourself to another persons progress. Remain consistent and patient. Exercise is not a hobby make it your life style. Make healthier food choices but don’t deprive yourself of the things you love. I was intimidated by the gym but soon I realized we’re all here to become our better selves. 9/10 no one is watching you unless they need the machine you’re using 😄. Remember to have fun and love every stage of your body as you go through this journey! ♥️♥️♥️
