The New Fit & Fabulous

In 2013, some of you all took the Fit & Fabulous journey with me as I lost the baby weight that I gained during my pregnancy with Turner. I felt great, but by the end of the year I started to fall into some really bad habits. I seriously love food.. and all the gooey-goodness food.. and I started to have too much fun with food.

At the beginning of this year I started to try to fix the situation myself.. the way that I always had. Make a plan, eat a certain way, do my workout videos, go for runs.. but things weren’t changing. I would get lazy, my diet fluctuated all the time and my 33 year-old-body wasn’t responding.

So.. I decided to recruit some help!

I found an amazing trainer, Dung Tran, to help me get back in shape and start eating right. It’s one of the best things I’ve done in my life!! I work out with him three times a week, and he tracks what I eat using the Fitness Pal app. I’ve learned a ton.. but two things have really stood out.

One.. it’s a journey.. results don’t happen overnight and you have to commit yourself whole-heartedly and enjoy the process. This was huge for me. I was used to quick results, but since I’ve gotten older and had a baby.. my body doesn’t bounce back the way it used too.

Two.. I can eat a lot of food.. and even have dessert! Dung set up a calorie goal for me to meet everyday and it’s all about portion control and meeting my macros (proteins, carbs, and fats). He basically says that I should be trying to eat the most food, and still be loosing weight. Revolutionary for me! I used to be so extreme one way or the other.. eating too little or eating WAY TOO much!

So far.. things are looking up, I’m feeling stronger than I’ve ever felt before and I’m on my way to meeting my goals!

I’ll keep sharing as things progress!
