It can be difficult to eat a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables when you’re on a tight budget.
With food prices rising, your grocery bill may be giving you sticker shock. But you shouldn’t toss your healthy eating goals because your food budget’s getting squeezed.

Here are some tips thats helping me along the way:
Plan your meals for the week and make a grocery list.

Only buy what you’re sure you will use, and check out what you already have in your cupboards first.

Stick to your grocery list when you’re shopping.

Shop the perimeter of the store first, since this is where the whole foods are generally located.

Cook large meals from inexpensive ingredients, and use your leftovers during the following days.

If you’re hungry, have a snack before you go grocery shopping. Shopping while hungry can lead to impulsive buying.

Just a few tips on how to WIN when shopping on a budget.
What’s some things you’re currently doing to budget? Please share I’m always open to hear what’s working for others! 🤗

Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.

from January to December of my weight journey this year, 2022. I had a great year of traveling, loving, and EATING 😂 I have NO complaints on how my year went because I literally did everything I wanted. However, my fitness goals did take a backseat. I want to share that it’s nothing wrong with falling off, as long as you get back up! 🏋🏾‍♀️ Set reachable goals, reset other goals , and apply pressure 💎

What’s your story? …. Let me share part of mine… 🗣
I’ve been a student of health and fitness for many years. I struggled for many years to create a lifestyle that was truly conducive to weight loss. I had to learn how to change my mindset, how to track my progress, and how to become an advocate for myself in order to lose weight. I had to learn how to nourish my body by developing a relationship with food, instead of depending on food to be my companion. I had to learn how to ease into exercise, make it enjoyable, and not cause harm to my body. I had to learn how to be a student of health and fitness, and become a student of myself.

“If we stay where we are, where we’re stuck, where we’re comfortable and safe, we die there. We become like mushrooms, living in the dark, with p**p up to our chins. If you want to know only what you already know, you’re dying. You’re saying: Leave me alone; I don’t mind this little rathole. It’s warm and dry. Really, it’s fine.

When nothing new can get in, that’s death. When oxygen can’t find a way in, you die. But new is scary, and new can be disappointing, and confusing - we had this all figured out, and now we don’t.
New is life.”
Anne Lamott

Looking to build your glutes? Hip thrust is a perfect choice!

Strengthens the muscles in the hip, buttocks, and quadriceps. It helps stabilize the pelvis, lower back, and knees, making it ideal for targeting low bone density in the hips and femur bones, aligning the knee joints.

Improves strong glutes and better balance!

* For Strength: Do three to five sets of five to eight reps with a heavy load.
* For Muscle Mass: Performing three to five sets of eight to 12 reps, with a moderate to heavy weight.

Can y’all believe they have my website on a 72hr hold 😮‍💨😳…. Anyway, let’s talk about the Seated Iso-Lateral Row Machine.

This machine is awesome for higher rep work AFTER you've done your lower rep, heavier work.

Primarily targeting the latissimus dorsi, this machine works as your back muscle builder. As the exercise performed is a compound workout, it impacts several other upper body muscles too.

People often have some confusion with where to grip, so here’s some hand placement advice using an OPEN grip will activate more of the Biceps, Teres Major and Latissimus Dorsi. CLOSE grip if your aim is to increase stabilization shoulder joints.

Benefits of the Bulgarian split squat. 🏋🏾‍♀️

It strengthens the muscles of the legs, including the quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves.
Thighs grow large, quickly.

The core of the abdomen and surrounding muscles are engaged and they work all the time when doing squats. By stretching these muscles, you can burn more fat

One of the reasons I enjoy this single-leg exercise is your core is forced to work in overdrive to maintain your balance.

I cannot stress enough how much I understand that the thought of starting a weight loss journey can be complex and deep-rooted… I get it!

It's easy to get demotivated, start skipping workouts and give up altogether.

When I began my fitness journey I weighed 189 pounds, it was the highest my weight had ever been; and I was unhappy. I was unhappy with my size, the discomfort, and I was unhappy with the constant lack of energy. So, I took charge and decided it was time for a change. I started out going to the gym completely confused and overwhelmed; and on top of that, my eating habits stayed exactly the same. It just came to a time when I had to stop disregarding the two key components of weight loss.

My job NOW, as a is helping woman breakthrough their weight loss nuisances and maintaining fulfilling lifestyles became my passion. It happened for me and lets find what works for you!!! 🏋🏾‍♀️

One thousand burpees on the path to my own destruction or success
But what is a mistake without the lesson?
See, the best teacher in life is your own experience
None of us know who we are until we fail
They say every man is defined by his reaction to any given situation
Well who would you want to define you?
Someone else or yourself?
Whatever you do, homie, give your heart to it
And stay strong. -Sinister Pook
Long live the GREAT 🙏🏾💫

The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow….. Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

Put all excuses aside and remember this: You are capable! Keep pushing warriors 💪🏾💫🏋🏾‍♀️

How low can you go?

Squats are a compound movement that recruits most of our muscles – this means it's a movement that uses multiple muscle.

Back…..

Good morning!
It took for something like Covid to come in and humble me. I had to FIX myself -completely! Reaching your body goals is one thing, but to connect the mind🤯That was a different whole story🥴

I had to be honest with myself. I am no good to my family, friends or clients if I don’t have an idea of who and what I really am. I was looking outside of myself for years, when it hit me… that everything I was looking for was within ME. 🧘🏾‍♀️

Core work!
One of the best and most effective ways to get that lower belly fat is doing exercises that require leg lifts. Gotta hit that Re**us abdominis muscle. The only way to see change.

If there isn't a struggle, there's no STRETCH, and therefore no growth. Easy doesn't change you and comfort won't challenge you.

I hope you All find joy in TODAY ❤️
Go get some 🌞
