Because your lifestyle needs to be enjoyable or it’s not going to be sustainable🙏🏼👏🏼 . There was a time when eating something “bad” would make me feel SO guilty . I “punished” myself by spending countless hours on cardio machines . Everything needed to be low cal, low fat, sugar free . Vacations, especially, were torture . If I couldn’t work out, I was CONVINCED I’d gain weight and lose all my progress . If I took more than a day or two for rest, I was convinced I’d revert all the way back to square one . It was a nasty cycle of restriction and obsession . I was MISERABLE. . Once I changed my mindset from food is “good” or “bad” to food is fuel, and stopped punishing myself in the gym as if it was an obligation but rather a privilege, things shifted, DRASTICALLY! . I eat as I please, I vacation, I take rest days, ALL GUILT-FREE, and guess what, MY PROGRESS IS NOT LOST . Self love is the greatest medicine of them all . And transformations start from the inside out . They also take time . Set your expectations to create a long lasting lifestyle, rather than an 8 week fix . Show up for yourself EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. . And most importantly, have patience and trust the process . . Swapping the kicks for flops, and the workout fits for dresses . Babymoon-ing in Rosemary Beach before little babe makes an appearance . Only 8 weeks left with this lil bump and I’m soaking up every second of it🥰 . . . . . . . . . .
