When I started going to the gym years ago, I was like most 23 year olds anxious to start looking “shredded”.
I was desperate to look like the fit girls I saw on social media, so desperate that I took harsh measures.
🚩I would spend 2 hours/4 days a week at the gym to the point of excessive soreness, on top of the 15 hours I spent in dance classes and rehearsals.
🚩I was eating very little, low quality foods.
🚩I was taking questionable fat-loss pills and other random supplements.
🚩I wasn’t getting a lot of sleep (I would literally be taking naps in between classes).
Sure I leaned out, but I didn’t realize how sick I looked and felt. I was breaking out, I couldn’t recover between workouts, my dance performance was declining, my moods were unstable, I struggled to focus in class, and the saddest part is I was hardly present for my 5 year old son! These are all RED FLAGS.
Fast forward to today (2 kids later), I’m so much healthier and I still love my body for how it looks even though I’m not as lean as I was back then. Instead of feeling insecure, now I am truly confident in my body!
It took time, but I realized I don’t need to kill myself to be lose fat and be healthy! I’ve decided I want to live a fulfilled life and be present with my kids, and I can do that with the right approach to fitness and health.
If you’re tired of trying harsh fad diets and workouts that make you feel like crap, and want to learn how to do it the right way so you can sustain energy for your kids, comment “HELP” and I’ll show you how we can get you there together!
