Story time: I’ve been lifting consistently for about 11 years, started around 18.
I’m 18 in the pic on the left, probably 145lbs, was obsessed with fitness and had the worst relationship with food.
I would often lift 1-2 times a day - as soon as I woke up and right after school too. On top of that I would do over an hour of cardio a day and I remember bringing tubawares filled with chicken & broccoli to school so I could stick to my “clean eating” meal plan. I had just lost 50lbs and I was absolutely terrified of gaining that weight back. Fast forward 6 months later and I gained all of that weight back & more. 🤦🏽♂️
On the right was a few months ago on my honeymoon, and I’m 30 now, sitting at 160-165lbs. Not obsessed and just got done smashing a pizza. Lol.
I lift 4x per week on average, only doing 10-20 minutes of cardio 4 times a week and haven’t brought a tubaware with me in years. I actually have the best relationship I’ve ever had with food and I enjoy some type of ice cream every single night.
My point is that we have to be able to navigate different seasons of life if we want to have any longevity with fitness. Your health & fitness journey doesn’t have a finish line, those who do it the longest are the winners.
So after a decade of having skin in the game, I’ve realized that our main goal with fitness should probably just be this: figure out how to make it as sustainable & enjoyable so you can stay with it forever.
And if you need more help with this, you love food, & wanna enjoy your life…Let me save you years of suffering & misery. Message me the word “TRANSFORM” and I’ll reach out to see how I can help. 🙏🏼💪🏼
