•LEFT: Senior year high school - Ate the standard American diet, having no idea what a healthy diet really was. Usually did a hour on the elliptical plus random ab movements, having no idea what good exercise was. .
.
.
•CENTER: Senior year college - Consumed the smallest amount of calories and water possible just to live, just wanting to look a certain way and keep up with that appearance. Did cardio like it was my job, feeling like I needed to “earn” my calories. .
.
.
•RIGHT: Present day - Eat mainly a whole foods diet. Eat when I’m hungry. Always drinking water. Enjoying food. Still continue with some cardio, but nowhere near the amount I used to. Love weights and lifting. Perform strength workouts daily. Fallen in love with becoming stronger physically and mentally. .
.
.
SO SO SO many ups and downs in between. While I have beaten some big issues, I still have my struggles. BUT, the entire journey has been well worth it. And my journey is nowhere near over.
.
.
.
The feeling you get from self-care is indescribable. Forget the physical transformation because the smallest person in the world could be the unhealthiest and the unhappiest. Fight for the mental transformation. Fight for FEELING confident, healthy, and happy

It is important to establish a routine. It can be used to ensure consistent technique as well as control your mental state. Always respect the bar, no matter weight is loaded!

I STRUGGLED the past week when it came to being motivated♀️ Sometimes I’m just tired. Sometimes I just don’t want to workout. Sometimes I just want to eat junk. I had to constantly remind myself why I do what I do in order to get to the gym every morning, to do my at-home workouts, and to eat the right foods. .
.
.
I took this video yesterday hoping to hit a goal of 15 push-ups and ended up doing 20! And it was SO motivating. I was like THIS is why I do what I do I do it for the feeling of accomplishment and for feeling strong and for feeling confident and for feeling like I can do whatever I put my mind to. .
.
.
No, my form isn’t perfect especially when I started getting tired. BUT progress made Just wait for the end... my face/body language says it all... I got WORKED .
.
.
Remember we all have days or weeks or even months where we may just not be feeling it. BUT, keep at it! Remind yourself of why you do what you do. Remind yourself of how far you’ve come. And don’t let slip-ups define the rest of your journey. Each day is an opportunity for a new start. Don’t give up. Set some goals and crush them

Prepped potatoes for the week, ft. purple, gold, and red potatoes .
.
.
By making in advance, I save time during the week and am able to easily add to any dish, wether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They go great with any meal
.
.
.
Pre-heat oven to 450. Line a large pan with parchment paper. Dice up potatoes and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl mix together some extra virgin olive oil with seasonings of your choosing (I use pepper, sea salt, garlic powder, and chili powder). Pour the mixture over potatoes and mix them around until all coated. Spread potatoes in the pan and bake for 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Once potatoes are tender inside and crispy outside they are done
