Monday Motivation!

These two pics were taken 16 years apart. There is nothing wrong with me in the picture from 2004.  However, I didn’t feel great. I was going about my fitness and nutrition the wrong way. 

I wasn’t eating enough, I thought I was eating healthy and I was doing way too much cardio.  I would get up a 4:00 am to get a run in before I went to the office. I couldn’t understand why I just couldn’t seem to lose even 5 lbs. and I always seemed to lack energy.

Even though I was a certified trainer,  I continued with the same habits for a few years and then ended up having fertility issues. 

I decided to change the way I was doing things. I cut down on the cardio and started lifting more. I started really studying the foods I was eating and I started eating more. I also prioritized sleep. 

My energy increased. I was building muscle. I was sleeping better. I ended up being in the best shape off my adult life and I ended up having my son when I was 38. 

Everything I was doing before was not only putting a lot of stress on my body, it was messing up my hormonal balance.  Hormonal imbalances including elevated cortisol can not only make weight loss difficult, it can lead to a whole host of other issues. 

Low energy
Brain fog
Increased belly fat
Mood swings 
Bloating 
Poor Sleep 

After I had my son, I bounced right back.  Since that time I have made it my mission to help other women. I focussed on my education and research and I developed my program to help women get the results they are looking for. 

I’m now 47, I feel better than ever and I’m loving helping other women.
