You don’t have to give up the foods you love to lose weight.

However I will say this: measuring your food is a game changer, rather than blindly following macros on an app (something I’ve done for a while).

& Putting healthier choices together like this, makes a big difference.
I don’t get junk food cravings anymore because I figured out ways to incorporate foods into my already tight caloric budget.

Don’t deprive yourself, but be mindful 😄

Feeling great! Heading into week 4 of my weight loss phase.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend that existing within a caloric deficit is easy.
It takes an incredible amount of discipline, self control and stress management.

It’s not easy, a lot of people struggle with it.
How I’m able to stay in such a good mood is my reason “why”.

Y’all have seen me, I’ve been on the weightloss train for 8 years or more now. Misguided before, doing what I’ve never done now.
I’ve wanted this for a long time and I’ve never been as dedicated as I have in the past year.

I’m ready to see what’s underneath.
Where all the hard work and sacrifice has been going and I’m fortunate to have been blessed during this season.

The fruits of my labour 🍇

I am learning so much about myself in this season of my fitness journey.

I’m learning:
Patience;
Things/ feelings that trigger my eating disorder & health problems;
Reevaluating my choices/ seeing where I’ve been cheating;
Self control & How to not binge;
Learning to love food again,
And cooking;
⬆️
Last 3 are huge for me.

I haven’t enjoyed cooking or found joy in eating for years. And I have always had problems with bingeing.
But I’m pulling these habits out at the root of the problem.
It’s only been a few weeks but I’m already seeing huge differences.

I’m so thankful for this path I’m on and the guidance I have been receiving aswell. 🥰

As I near the end of my 29th birthday, I can’t help but count how God has blessed my life.

I never would have thought this time last year, how much would change in my life in just a short amount of time.
28 was great!
➡️With the help of my coaches, I started the process of healing and reversing my PCOS condition and shifted my mindset from weightloss to hypertrophy.
➡️I got married to my best friend, who also made numerous changes in his life and mine.
➡️We started going to church, which has been amazing. I’ve finished reading the bible already, and going through again.
➡️I started homeschooling my kids.
➡️My body has started functioning normally, which is something I never thought I’d see.
➡️Unexpectedly had to move again, but it turned out to be just what we needed
➡️Building my training buisness
➡️Rediscovering my love for cooking and creativity
➡️Started a garden after 3 years of not gardening- this makes my heart so happy
➡️I started reading again
➡️I’m fortunate my husband has an amazing job where I can stay at home
➡️I’m spending more time outside again, which I avoided a lot in the past few years
➡️Anxiety and depression is almost a thing of the past
➡️Now that my body is working again I can start a new weight loss journey and I’m so excited.

There’s so much to be thankful for and I really would not have guessed that I’d be saying these things today.
After struggling with depression for so long, I have to say it’s so refreshing to want to get out of bed in the morning and tackle the day.

Being 29, I don’t feel old. I feel the healthiest I’ve ever been, physically and mentally. I don’t look down on getting older, I just feel more comfortable and confident with myself than ever before and I look forward to growing into the person I’m meant to be every year 🥰

Hellooo everyone!

I was able to expand on my availability and am now taking new clients!

Are you wanting to work on your mind and body?

Hello, my name is Kara, I’m a fairly new personal trainer with a variety of services, as you can see in the pictures above.
I have opened up my availability and would love to start working with more clients.
Im working out of Evolve Strength North Edmonton or I offer online services aswell!

I like to think of myself as positive, quirky and fair minded. I bring my dog Otis with me most times to the gym, your welcome to bring yours (or your kids) too!
I’m working on my own fitness journey aswell, so we will definitely be in this together!
I don’t believe in burning you out in your first days of your workouts, I want you to enjoy yourself while still getting results
I listen to what you say, I won’t ask you to do something you don’t want to do or hate doing.
I want to help you feel good mentally and physically.

All my programs come with a free consultation- this is where we meet and greet and go over your goals, and then the first session after that is on me!

What I offer is:
In-person training sessions
➡️ I’m currently working out of Evolve Strength North Edmonton, absolutely wonderful gym atmosphere and first week is free.
➡️ Pricing varies, based on how many sessions you want per week, I offer a discount in price with the more sessions you want.
➡️ On top of receiving some fun in person guidance, this includes a customized fitness program to your goals, nutritional coaching, pictures and videos of yourself and progress (as requested), weekly check ins and so on!

Online training
➡️ This includes workout programs you’d like to do yourself, at home or in the gym.
➡️ Weekly check ins-phone, text or video
➡️ This may be More if an economical approach $ wise- although no benefits of In person training.
➡️ Video assessments

🌟Mix of In-Person and Online
➡️ This is the most bang for your buck. You will receive 1-2 days in person and the rest of the program you finish on your own time.
➡️ This program allows you to get the best of both worlds and saves you a bit of money in the process.
➡️ Gym days we focus on anything you need assisted and corrected so you can optimize your workouts.
Your Non-trainer days will fill in the gaps of your program.

I look forward to working with you ☺️
If you have any questions let me know, send me a text or pm me.

I’m so excited 😄

I’ve been working on creating mini printable units for parents to do with their kids, to teach them about healthy eating and nutrition
🥦🍎🍆🍊🫑🍋🥕🌽

Whether you homeschool or send your kids to school, these sheets are fun and easy little project to do with your children.

I just finished my first one in this series: Food Groups!
This one is for ages: 5-8
It’s 10 pages of basic food group information, including: spelling, colouring, drawing, reading, cursive work and a graph!

I’ll be working on units for older children as well as other topics aswell.

This is super exciting to be able to offer now, especially at such a low price, as I want to make sure it’s affordable for everyone, im not doing this purely for money. 😌
