shows us that hard work pays off!.
Transformation Tuesday!
Three years & a lot of hard work in between these two pictures. The picture on the left was my first check-in photo with then Coach . The picture on the right was taken the day after my first fitness competition by . Surprisingly but perhaps not surprisingly, there is only about a five pound difference between the two photos. But the differences in habits, mindset, & lifestyle are significant & remarkable!
Here are some of the the key differences that I want to share with you:
Photo on Left:
✅ Skipped meals regularly
✅ Afraid of carbs
✅ No pre-workout meal
✅ No post workout meal
✅ Protein deficient
✅ No meal planning
✅ No structured weight training program
✅ Cardio was the priority
✅ No focus on daily movement
✅ No coach
✅ No goals
Photo on the Right:
✅ Eat 5 meals per day
✅ Prioritize carbs and timing of those carbs (currently eating upwards of 200 grams per day)
✅ Always consume a pre-workout meal
✅ Always consume post-workout meal
✅ Structured Meal Plans and Timing of those meals
✅ Prioritize protein at every meal (currently consuming 190 grams per day)
✅ Structured weight training program with focus on progressive overload
✅ Do I have to do cardio?😂
✅ 10k steps per day/average
✅ Work with Coach to keep me accountable & on track
✅ Stage & Pro Card goals! 😜
I am a 47 year old mom, wife, daughter, sister, & friend (would add athlete to this list now 😊) with a demanding career & job. I use to use some of the same excuses that a lot of women in my same shoes use to justify my lack of results, i.e. age, hormones, slow metabolism,
Hypothyroidism, not enough time, energy, or bandwidth.
But, I am proof that these are all excuses & if you really want to make a change in your physique & health, you need to implement some, if not all, the habits listed above. Indeed, “Success leaves clues” & what I am sharing with you has been shared with me by my coaches & mentors who I have enjoyed similar results & successes in their own fitness journey!
If I can do it, so can you!
