When I tell yall that I used to be miserable in my body I mean it. The picture on the left was at the beginning of my journey when I was 300 pounds. I was taking a before picture. It is a candid shot of just how embarrassed I was to have let myself get to that point. In fact 2 seconds after this picture was taken I started crying. --- I'm not where I want to be yet... but as you can see I'm a hell of a lot more comfortable in my skin. I'm proud to say that no tears were shed in the making of today's comparison. 😂

This isn’t the craziest transformation- It’s more mental than physical for me, The girl in the left photo is lost, unaware of her worth, & looking for happiness in the wrong places The girl on the right photo is reborn. She knows how to handle difficult situations. She knows what makes her happy. She practices self love & believes in herself- The physical appearance is a reflection of the transformation I have made throughout the years by focusing on my health & happiness. And the beautiful thing is.. You can do it too. We all have it in us. It’s just a matter of finding it & consistently working on yourself 💫 & I will help you get there ❣️

TRANSFORMATION: not a weight loss transformation, actually a couple pounds gained - but even better than that going from an unsustainable fitness life to a healthy lifestyle that I absolutely LOVE & ADORE💕💪🏻 . . LEFT: ◾️Very low calories and carbs, iifym, felt so restricted was scared to death to go over my macros. ◾️Bored with my gym routine, bored with doing the same lifts over and over, spending hours at the gym. ◾️ Terrible mindset, comparing myself to fitness models constantly, wish I looked a different way (bigger butt, bigger shoulders, smaller waist). RIGHT: 🔸Intuitive eating, eating mostly organic Whole Foods, listening to my body when its hungry - I eat. Found freedom in intuitive eating and loving all the delicious healthy food I eat! 🔸Absolutely in LOVE with my workout routine, love lifting with @s_muchko at the gym, love doing HIIT workouts at home, love doing yoga, LOVE listening to what my body needs everyday instead of only lifting weights and doing hours of cardio. Spending 35-45 minutes working out. (Saving SO much of my time.) 🔸Positive mindset, loving the body I’m in! Honoring my body, listening in to what it needs, and adoring every part of it. . . ✨Point of this post - you DO NOT need to be spending hours at the gym, doing hours of cardio, having a strict diet, hating your workouts and your diet to see the results you want. . . If your busy and still want to make fitness and health a priority - GREAT! You can get effective kick ass workouts within 30-45 minutes. You can eat quick healthy whole food meals that taste absolutely delicious. You can live your life and love your health and fitness journey too! I promise you, it’s 100% possible. 💕💪🏻 . . PS. I just opened up 2 more spots for my 1 on 1 coaching - fill out the application in my bio - can’t wait to talk about your goals & plan a strategy to get after them together 💪🏻💕 . . . . . #hiitworkout #hiitworkouts #abworkout #abexercises #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipeideas #bikinicompetition #healthyfit #healthyfitness #fullbodyworkout #fullbodyworkouts #prettyfit #beautifulbody #faithandfitness #GlorytoGod #pittsburghfit #pittsburghfitness #pittsburghgirl #workoutside #hiittraining

The difference between cardio and lifting 💪 left photo size 12 only doing cardio (I was absolutely buzzing to be in a custom made size 12 dress) right photo size 12 on top size 12/14 bottom! Mix of lifting and hiit training! Obviously a clear winner! Don't be afraid to pick the weights up ladies you'll be glad you did 💪💪💪 #progress #size12 #fit #fitfam #fitspo #instafit #instafitness #weighttraining #strongnotskinny #beastmode #myzone #meps #workout #hiit #hiitworkout #effortrewarded #musclegain #fatloss #girlswholift #stronggirls

I used to wake up every Monday morning promising myself I would start my diet & I would tell myself - this time I would be serious. Bathing suit season around the corner, time to commit for real. I would go to work, eat a nice oatmeal and begin the challenges of the day. 2pm rolls around I’m starved and I’m going to be late to my grad school class.. my friends are getting Taco Bell before class and now I’m feeling a dilemma.. the temptations creeping in, I’m starving! I tell myself I was good all day I only ate an oatmeal, what’s one or two Crunchwrap supremes really going to do at this point. How could I refuse? After I eat them I feel disgusted. I feel like I ruined my day so when I get home from class I open a bottle of wine and have a couple crackers with cheese. I promise myself tomorrow will be different and I’ll start fresh in the morning. Tuesday rolls around, the same cycle continues. I lived like this for a long time. A mental battle, mental tug of war, I couldn’t say no to friends, couldn’t commit. There was always a birthday party, a bar crawl, a fun event that I couldn’t say no to. - - It took me a long time to learn how to stay accountable. To learn that it’s okay to say no to unhealthy options because you’re changing your lifestyle. For a long time healthy eating was a bag of baked lays and mindlessly eating them because they were baked .. so that meant they were healthy right? - - If you’re struggling to figure out where to start I suggest you map out your short term and your long term goals. Decide. Commit. Succeed. Short term goals are important because you’re not going to wake up tomorrow and lose 70 pounds. Short term goals kept me going. Goals to drop 1 jean size, goals to run a full mile without stopping, goals to make it to the gym 3 times a week. This is where the magic happened & where the lifestyle change began - - #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #motivationmonday #motivation #inspire #transform #weightlossjourney #weightlossstory #myfitnesspal #myfitnessjourney #fitforlife #healthylifestyle #healthyalternatives #activelifestyle #workhard #shorttermgoals #longtermgoals #goals #setgoals #nolimit #fitness #girlswholift

I've been working on getting my 4 pack back for over 4 months and it's here!! 💪😆👏 The key to getting your abs to reveal is mainly: what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat- it all SHOWS* It definitely takes a good amount of discipline, structure, routine and recurring choices. I also do daily planks for short durations, use kettlebells & slamballs, and esp embrace those Hard "Core Days" workouts! 🤗 haha . . . #momof3 #hiit #coach #fitmom #core #abs #fourpack #diet #workout #plank #kettlebell #slamball #candoattitude #hardcore #eathealthier #healthiswealth #transformation #everydaychoices #absmadeinthekitchen
