Alexis Gentile Fit

wants to know what makes me smile about my journey and I’d have to say there’s a lot so it’s hard to narrow.

One of the things I’m most thankful for is my body, what it does for me. It lets me be active with my friends. I can plan a hike, walk, outing and not have to worry about getting tired or being behind everyone. I can participate, I can enjoy and I can be present in the moment. Things like hikes weren’t so much an exciting activity for me to enjoy, I dreaded them. Last night I reconnected with friends from high school and enjoyed all the pretty fall colours 🍁🍂🍃 I love that I’ve given myself back moments like these.

petition to make delicata squash be in season all year 😩😩😍😍

Working from home definitely has its perks; aka being able to cook lunches like this!!
• butterball turkey burger (5) - this is higher than I’d like so I’m thinking I can probably make some homemade ones for 0SP
• WW thins (3SP)
• homemade tzatziki (0SP) plain greek yogurt, dill, garlic, splash of lemon juice
• delicata fries (0SP) avocado oil spray, basil, pepper

365 days. 1 full year. Today is the anniversary of the first tome I walked into a studio for my first weigh in, my first meeting. I had a friend with me, I probably wouldn’t have gone unless she had agreed to sign up with me. I guess it was a comfort thing. ⁣
⁣
When I look and reflect on the last year quite honestly I didn’t think I’d make it this far, this long. I don’t know if that was because people told me I never stuck with things or if I started to believe it. ⁣
⁣
What I’ve gained over the last year: ⁣
• confidence ⁣
• health freedom ⁣
• a new and healthy relationship with the food I choose to eat⁣
• improved mental health ⁣
• improved personal relationships⁣
• respect for myself, for my body and what it does for me ⁣
• a support network bigger than I could have ever imagined (yes you) ⁣
⁣
What I’ve lost? ⁣
• 50 pounds
• concern of what others think of me ⁣
• worrying about my arms in dresses/tanks ⁣
• concern of becoming diabetic ⁣
• anxiety, panic attacks ⁣
⁣
I’m so proud of myself , I’m proud of the girl whose stuck with something that betters her mental and physical well-being and I’m making another year commitment to ensuring in another year from now I can only feel better. ⁣
⁣
Thinking of making changes ? Do it. Do it now. ⁣

Happy anniversary 💙

PUMPKIN SPICE WAFFLES🍁🍂.

breakfast or dessert ?????

killed it with their new pumpkin spice protein pancake mix!!!

5 waffles in my dash mini waffle maker comes out to 3SP and that is for 1/4 cup of the mix (this is comparable to the buttermilk one being 2SP for 1/4 cup)

Swipe to see how I make this ➡️🤤

NOTE: these have a pretty distinct ‘spice’ flavour to them so it’s very pumpkin spice and not just pumpkin - keep that in mind if you don’t like spice

happy 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

this is a reflection of me getting my CRAP together. 7 blue dots in a row (for the first time since April; I hadn’t even noticed this until I looked last night). 5 OTF workouts and a whole lot of water and feeling proud of myself👏🏻👏🏻

I’ve been LOVING and it’s been giving me the push to get my workouts in and have my nutrition follow accordingly.

Another week of 7 blue dots coming my way!!


🇨🇦 💙

YO BALSALMIC TOAST SLAPS.

•2 eggs (0SP)
•2 slice Betty Light Bread (2SP)
•1 laughing cow cheese wedge (1SP)
•balsamic vinegar (0SP)
•Italian seasoning (0SP)
•2 slices turkey bacon (1SP)

Thx 🤍

Did you guys really think I wasn’t going to hit you with a ????⁣ October 2019⏭ Today!!!
⁣
I’ve been ‘back on plan’ for a week now. I wasn’t ‘off plan’ but I had a lot of planned and unplanned no blue dot days and I wasn’t committing myself like I know I’m capable of! ⁣
⁣
It’s a broken record , but it’s true that you only get out of this journey what you put into it and I’m determined to put so much of myself into this journey for the rest of the year. ⁣
⁣
I’m emotional because I’m almost at 1 year on . My WW anniversary is on Saturday and that means I friggin stuck with this for a year. Going through my camera I have SO many ‘before’ shots over the years. Times that I told myself I was going to start something and stick with it.... I never did.... until last year. I love that I can use photos from last year to really see how far I’ve come, it truely amazes me. ⁣
⁣
As of today we have 100 days left in 2020 (insane) what are you going to do with them??⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣

Anyone else just feel like a challenge is what they need right now? It’s fall, I’m feeling motivated, I’m coming up to my one year on and I wanted something to push me into the end of the year ⁣
⁣
Like mentions in her recent post is a slimmed down version of 75 Hard and if you don’t know what that is, google it. There is tons online about it but in short, its about mental toughness. It is supposed to help you with 6 things:⁣
⁣
1. Confidence⁣
2. Self-Esteem ⁣
3. Self-Worth⁣
4. Self-Belief⁣
5. Fortitude ⁣
6. Grittness ⁣
⁣
I’ve been thinking about 75 Hard for a while now and of course when I posted about it last night in my stories my girl said she’s been thinking of it too (duh we’re twins)! She showed me this challenge being put on by and . I don’t know about you guys but I tend to get nervous to put it out there that I’m trying something like this, just because it’s not always a guarantee that I’m going to be successful HOWEVER I’m going to give it my best shot. ⁣
⁣
Swipe to see more details about the challenge and if you want to join, DO IT, it’s not too late!! I even made myself a little template for the next forty days; I’ll post it in my stories!! 🎉⁣

❕OSP pumpkin pie❕⁣
⁣
give me all the fall themed recipes plz and thank you!!! ⁣
I started today and that means that I’ll be committing throughout thanksgiving, MEANING I need to come up with some bomb recipes to get all the thanksgiving flavours in! ⁣
⁣
This 0SP pumpkin pie is a game changer for me because pumpkin flavoured anything is my go too! Give it a try! ⁣

FALL🍂🍁🍃🍎⁣
⁣
my friggin favourite season!!!!! I love fall because of the flavours (caramel, apple slice, pumpkin of course), because of the activities, the colours, the crisp air, it just screams comfort!!!! ⁣
⁣
My boyfriend also loves the season and one of our fav activities to do is apple picking! We went today and hell I felt friggin cute! No hiding behind my bf in pictures , I gave him the camera and asked for him to be my insta hubby 🤩👋🏼⁣
⁣
Swipe to see me this exact weekend last year! ⏭ hairs a different colour, but this girls got a whole sense of confidence and happiness just glowing form her! ⁣

doing on a Thursday .... rebel⁣
⁣
sometimes I can’t believe it myself, so much so that I need to sauce two pictures side by side to realize. I see myself on the left but I don’t really recognize her. The picture on my left was the night before I started , I thought hey why not give it a chance, try something I hadn’t before... boy was I happy that I did. I can’t believe I’m coming up on my one year anniversary of weight watchers, one full year of believing in myself and sticking with something that makes my physical and mental health better 🤍⁣
⁣
I’ve fought for this girl, might as well show her off a little 🥳⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣

❕weigh in day❕ ⁣
⁣
to say I was surprised was an understatement .... I just had 6 days of being all over the place and this is the result ????? colour me confused 🤪😂 HOWEVER, I’m counting my blessings and going to move on from this week and look forward. ⁣
⁣
This week I was reminded of how incredible this community is and coming back to it motivated me to push forward. ⁣
⁣
There is no straight line on this journey. There is a lot of positives but there is so many hurdles. I thought keeping those hurdles silent would benefit me, but really being open, honest and truthful is what helps me move forward. No shame. ⁣

JUST OUT HERE LIVING MY HIGH CONFIDENCE LIFE 👋🏼👏🏻🔅 swipe to see me this weekend last year!! (2020-2019‼️) this weekend was amazing!!! I was away for a girls weekend celebrating my besties bachelorette. Pictures were taken, I loved basically all of them, and didn’t sit and try and edit and find angles that made me feel good. I can’t even begin to tell you what that is worth to me, that feeling is priceless 🥺 ⁣
I indulged , I didn’t track, but I don’t feel bad. I feel friggin amazing. ⁣
I think my goal for the next month is to not so much focus on the number on the scale, but how I feel. I’m coming up on my 1 year weight watchers anniversary and I’m definitely not the same girl I was last year. I’m still here on this journey and for that I’m proud 👏🏻 A whole year, I certainly know a lot of people didn’t think I’d make it here 👋🏼⁣

mental health check in✅⁣
⁣
let’s talk body dysmorphia ... something I’ve been thinking of a lot lately. body dysmorphia is the constant negative thought of your own personal appearance and quite honestly it’s been something I’ve been going through during this weight loss journey. ⁣
⁣
over the last month or so I’ve had a bit of a rough go. Had some losses but there has been lots of weeks where there is gains, sometimes big, sometimes small. But it adds up and it makes me feel defeated.... cue the thoughts. The thoughts that I’m going to ‘get big’ again, however something that is helping those thoughts is the constant pictures I take during this journey. ⁣
⁣
Take the damn pictures people. On days where I’m feeling ‘fluffy’ (lol) and feeling down, I look at pictures, whether it’s quick ones I snap of myself or others take of me.... I don’t hate what I look like and I give myself a bit of a head shake that I had the negative thoughts in the first place. ⁣
⁣
No one has all the perfect angles , and the way we think of ourselves matter. ⁣
⁣
It’s no secret I love my mirror pictures , but the last photo is one I had a friend take for me to let me see what a skirt looked like and I was like wow that’s what I look like (in my head I had pictured it so much worse) ⁣
⁣
One day at a time, be kind to yourself 💛⁣

❕❕❕big news canada❕❕❕ protein bars at an affordable price??? You got it! This week the second biggest Costco in Canada opened right around the corner from me and I was stoked to see these there! :



🇨🇦

👏🏻I feel good this morning, I felt like I was in control for most of the week minus my weekend (but what else is new). Grabbing onto this energy and hoping it pushes me through this week, this is the direction I like to see things going ⬇️⬇️ ⁣
⁣
Posting my weigh ins weekly is something I’ve gone back and forth on. I was anxious about a gain last week so I didn’t post (see second slide). I felt pressure and I was embarrassed, but at the end of the day... these are for me to see my growth, the ups, downs and not so easy weeks so it’s ok. Moving on👋🏼⁣
⁣
Hope everyone has a good week🧡⁣

Honest hour, this summer has been a rough go. I’ve been hesitant to share some of the downfalls on here because I’m embarrassed that I’ve been having such a hard time. It’s been a slow climb since my vacation back in July and I MISS the feeling of losing and being successful. ⁣
⁣
This journey is weird because you have people flooding when you’re doing well, to see your success , but only a select few stick around when you actually are having a rough go. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been saying this for the last few months but I’m ready for a reset. I’m almost at my year mark of being on WW and I want to celebrate that by feeling good!! ⁣
⁣
Fall is for fresh starts, forgiving yourself and allowing us to be human🍁🍂🍃⁣

needed to weigh in on Thursday this week ; going to be out of town tomorrow and I’m not travelling with my scale 🤣 anyone else loyal to just their one scale? 🤨⁣

hey ya’ll🌟🌟🌟 there’s so many new faces here so I thought I’d share a few things about me and my fitness journey: ⁣
⁣
• I am 26 years old. I started my journey at 25 on September 29,2019⁣
• I first signed up for WW because one of my best friends got engaged and asked me to be in her wedding and I did not want to feel uncomfy in photos ⁣
• Along with that ^ I also was having some health concerns, I was worried about diabetes as it runs in my family, I was tired all the time, and my mental health was taking a toll ⁣
• my 🤍 and I have been together for 3 years. He can eat whatever he wants but it helps me practice my will power 😂. We live 2 hours away but I don’t even consider it long distance as we see each other every single weekend and both work like crazy during the week⁣
• I am a social worker, I work in child welfare and I absolutely love my job ⁣
• I am currently doing my masters part time through Dalhousie - trying to get that done before I have 👧🏼👶🏼⁣
• is my saving grace. It completely changed the way I look at working out. I love it so much and it makes me excited to go to the gym ⁣
• I have always been on the WW💙 plan⁣
• a positive support system makes all the difference in this journey. I have so many amazing friends who have been supportive since the start ⁣
• I am pretty much an open book and an open ear , send me a DM if you ever have any questions 💛⁣
• aside from my personal support system, some of my die hards are gals I’ve met through insta - they just get it ⁣
⁣
Some of the accounts that I’ve been following since the beginning who always inspire me are : , , , 💖💖

!!! ⁣
no need to worry or feel sorry for this girl over here🌟 this is a reflection of many things. ⁣
1. A weekend enjoyed at the cottage with many (many) adult beverages ⁣
2. An indulgent anniversary outting with my hunni⁣
3. First full week back at the gym!! ⁣
⁣
since monday my nutrition has been in CHECK, I’ve gotten all blue dots and I’ve committed to fueling my body following some really good workouts! ⁣
⁣
feeling great, feeling confident and trusting the process to bring me into a successful weigh in next week💛 ⁣
⁣
don’t let the # on the scale dictate how you feel, because today I feel darn good💫⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
🇨🇦 💙

what’s something I gave myself this last year? some darn friggin confidence and appreciation for my body and everything it does for me. ⁣
⁣
a huge NSV for me yesterday was enjoying myself on the water with my boyfriend and best friends and not giving a damn about what I looked like. I wanted to capture memories and usually I would spend so much time adjusting my position, adjusting my pictures, editing them to see how small I could look without making the picture look fake ... I’ve come a long way. I look at these pictures and just seen a darn big smile living her best life. ⁣
☀️☀️☀️ ⁣
⁣
Helps that I have some of the best friends and boyfriend a girl could ask for 💛💛⁣
⁣
⁣

Wasn’t gonna post this today, honestly been having a rough go with the mental aspect of this journey. However I want everything on here to be transparent, real, honest and open. Plus I want to be able to look back and see the bumps in the road. On to the next week my friends...



🇨🇦 💙

anyone who says this journey is easy...pffft. anyone who says this journey is perfect... lucky them. man the last month has been DAMN hard. This journey is such a sync of body and mind, and when your mind isn’t on track, your body knows it. ⁣
⁣
My gym opens back up on Monday, I’m pretty friggin pumped. Quarrentine has been a roller coaster for me, and while I’m super proud of getting through it... I was at my best when I was able to go to the gym 4-5 times a week. This is also when I was seeing most of the weight come off. ⁣
⁣
I have a scheduled ‘off’ weekend of a cottage and anniversary celebrations with my boyfriend; I refuse to feel guilt about that. ⁣
⁣
But Monday... Monday expect big things🧡⁣

new favourite smoothie coming in hot 🍌🥬⁣
⁣
I’ve never drank smoothies during this journey, but I figured it might be a yummy way to shake it up a little. ⁣
⁣
First off this protein literally smells like chocolate cake 🍰🍫⁣
⁣
- 2 tbsp protein powder (2SP) ⁣
- 1/2 cup 0% plain greek yogurt ⁣
- 1 tbsp powdered peanut butter (0SP) ⁣
- 1 frozen banana (I don’t count points even though it’s blended, sue me) ⁣
- handful of spinach ⁣
- splash of almond milk ⁣

🇨🇦 💙 @ Ottawa, Ontario

So I did one Friday weigh in and realized it’s going to be hard as heck for my schedule because often I go home on Thursday nights (my boyfriend and family live two hours from me). And I don’t want to be that crazy person who is always travelling with her scale 🤣 SO again not much to see here, I misbehaved on the weekend... slowly chipping away at the damage from my two week vacation.



🇨🇦 💙

☀️summer 2019-summer 2020 ☀️ oh boy did she know she was ready for a glow up. ⁣
⁣
What would I tell the girl on the left? Don’t be so scared to start. Don’t listen to the people who told you that you’d never stick with anything long enough to see a difference. I’d tell her that she’s beautiful even though she doesn’t feel that way. I’d tell her that she deserves opportunities to feel confident, she deserves and is worth any and all changes coming her way. I’d tell her she is loved💛⁣

Alright folks; nothing too exciting happening here. Big loss , but expected after my vacation gain. Slowly picking my way back to the 50 pound loss (goal to be back there by the end of August!)



🇨🇦 💙

not my typical weight loss/fitness/food post but I just wanted to share my brow glow up 🌟🌟⁣
⁣
today I went for my touch up on my nano brows with and I’m obsessed. ⁣
⁣
I first went to KOKO back in 2018 for microblading because your girl barely had any eyebrows, with nano coming out I knew I needed them. KOKO is beyond professional and knows her brows!! Ottawa, Ontario ladies , if you’ve been in the market for brows hit her up. ⁣
