I am a bit of a gym rat, and I will definitely be posting some videos of my workouts soon. It is also well known that a great body does not just come from physical activity, but from what is put into it. I like to approach my diet at an 80/20 view... Meaning that 80% if the time I eat completely clean, zero additives, organic. The other 20% of the time, I eat whatever the heck I want to.
For some this might not be a good approach, because it can be hard to restrain yourself. However, I have found that if I am craving something, it is helpful to either find an alternative, have a little bit, or think about how bad I want it and see if I am willing to spend money or time. I have come to think of my dietary choices as a mind game.
So if interested in some of the things that I use, keep reading.
I currently am 5'8", 140 pounds. I aim to be about 135, so not too far to go. I can bounce anywhere from 140 to 150 in a few weeks time. I am very sensitive to any change in lifestyle. Which can be both good and bad. If I am consistent in working out and eating good, I can see change very quickly. If I am lazy and have a few too many cheat days, I can also tell.
To keep track of both my exercise, eating habits, sleep, and activity levels; I use the MyFitness Pal app for iPhone and Record.
They are both by Under Armour and sync with one another. They are super! I tried to get my boyfriend to use it, but he is not patient when entering his food. I think it is great, it tells you what nutrients to get and how many calories you should consume based on your goals.
I go to Fitness Evolution gyms, usually the Natomas, CA. Carmichael, CA. Or the North Highlands, CA location. They are inexpensive and have everything I need. Click here to visit their website!
I also have a supplement and health store that I frequently visit in Natomas, NutriOne. Click here to follow them on Instagram for sales, deals, and discounts! I have purchased most of my supplements from them, but have also used Women's Best, and FateFit. It is important to find what works for you and your budget.
This is what I am currently using:
 |
| I just recently starting using this and I feel amazing. I have lost weight after only a week and a half. About 10 pounds, both water weight and fat.* |
 |
| This is an excellent protein supplement, it offers the least amount of calories, carbs, fat, and sugars. While still including the most amount of protein. It can be a little expensive, but it lasts a long time and is great quality. I use it to replace meals or when I am hungry in between meals. I use it after workouts, and sometimes before bed as a late night snack. Banana Cream flavor is outstanding! |
 |
| Just including this because I bought this SmartShaker along with the protein. The top part is for the drink, the middle has a separated section for pill form supplements, and the bottom is included for extra things. I use the bottom section to put my pre-workout or more protein powder. |
I am glad that I have been able to share some of my fitness and health habits with you. I will be posting more on this subject at a later date, but that's it for now!
