I know a girl who went to the gym almost every day for 10 years. That girl killed it in the gym (500 to 700 calorie burns). She was strong but not a size she wanted to be. In fact, her size only got larger, not smaller, during that time.
This summer that girl went a different direction, stopped trying to kill it at the gym, adjusted nutrition, and started seeing weight loss.
That girl doesn’t see weight on others which is a beautiful thing, but this also means she didn’t see weight on herself. She didn’t know she had become the girl in the first photo.
That girl is me. I wake up feeling thankful that someone had the courage to post their health journey on Facebook, that I connected with her, and found out about something I had never heard of (and I thought I had tried it all). While my personality is bold, and I can be loud...I know that everyone is on a personal journey. I am more likely to be private about my health journey and I never want to feel like I’m pressuring anyone.
Then I was thinking about a spice rack I recently got and shared with others who said, “Yes, I have that one and love it.” Why hadn’t they shared it with me when they fell in love? The spice rack was a new find for me. I mean, a spice rack is a silly comparison but you don’t know what you don’t know. So in my balance of being private regarding my journey, I don’t want to keep information from someone who wants it like I did. Most people during COVID are talking about packing on pounds, while I was finding success in losing them. What are you going to do to turn 2020 around?
In the above photo, I'm holding the amount of weight I lost.
(Average weight loss on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan® is 12 pounds.)
It’s never too late to take control of your health! Making small changes can add up to big results!
I met a new goal...to fit back into my wedding dress!
I’ll probably never be done with my journey. But I’m back into a comfortable size; I never worry if my shorts will button; I get to wear all those shorts that were buried at the bottom of the drawer; and I eat every 2 to 3 hours.
It’s a journey. This post is to help hold me accountable. So, friends, help me do that! I also want to free you who feel like you have to go to a gym or for you who have to close your rings. I was like that and yet I didn’t have the results I wanted. I'd love to share more information if you are interested. Email me, liveblesstravel@gmail.com.
In a clinical study, the group on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan® lost 10x more weight than the self-directed group. Average weight loss on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan is 12 pounds.
