Something I learned this year about myself is when I have a strong WHY, as in, why do I care so much about xyz? I'm all in and focused until the end.
While writing this book, my WHY was there are too many people unaware of how easy it actually is to better their health.
Diet culture doesn't help people become self-sufficient so that their results can be maintained nor does it help people create realistic expectations on when they will see the result they're after. Too often I hear the same story but from different people "I did this plan, lost a lot of weight, then gained it all back, and now I'm trying again with ultra focus".... 😓
As I wrote my book, I wanted to provide people with an easy-to-follow education while being concise so they can be served exactly what they need to know to start a successful health & fitness journey.
Truthfully, most people do not need a perfectly optimized H&F plan on their first day. In fact, that is one of the major reasons why people end up giving up after a short while... it was too much too soon.
Health & fitness is not a race to a finish line nor is it about living up to a beauty standard that will always find a way to judge you.
Instead, H&F should be thought of as a lifelong journey of learning about yourself and developing healthy habits that serve your entire well-being during all seasons of your life.
For those of you who are looking at the year 2022 as the year you finally commit to your health, please know you're worth it and there are sustainable ways to create a new healthy lifestyle.
Do you know these hydration tips and tricks? Learn with me how to build more intuition around caring for body 💯
Are you missing this important step in your health & fitness plan?
Here I go over one of the sections in my book called, Baseline.
The purpose of baseline is to document your starting point prior to implementing any of your new action items.
This will provide you with great data so that as you continue to follow your plan, you can assess your progress along the way.

Swipe through the photos 👉 Does this story sound like yours?
The cycle of trying to work on your health & fitness with every right intention, then after a short time finding yourself right back at the starting line...
Luckily, there is a way out of that cycle so you can experience long lasting results.
It starts with becoming clear on your WHY.
The next step is to only take sustainable steps towards your goals... No trying to perfectly follow plans that are practically 180° different from your current lifestyle.
One of the most important things to keep in mind is you don't have to be perfect with food and exercise to see results.
In fact, trying to be perfect is why we hear about so many people quitting their previous programs before coming to us.
When you allow yourself to follow a plan that is sustainable for you, you will be able to continuously progress towards your goals without feeling overwhelmed, deprived, nor restricted.
The secret to your success is being consistent about taking action towards your goals.
To be consistent, your actions must be sustainable.
✨Share the *secret* with your friends and share some of your sustainable actions below✨
Lastly, wherever you are in your H&F journey, you are instrinctly beautiful inside and out. The scale, the tape measure, your clothing size, none of those things can capture your beauty or worth. You're beautiful already. You're worthy now. Lean into that truth. ❤️

Are you trying too hard to reach your goals?
You likely are when you are...
Creating a new plan where you're implementing a dozen action items.
Such as making the perfect meal plan that requires daily motivation and will power.
Or... Creating a daily exercise schedule to burn a certain amount of calories.
Or even... Feeling frustrated with yourself when you do not follow the plan perfectly.
❗if this is you, you are doing too much❗
Instead, try only picking 1-2 action items to focus on rather than trying to be perfect right from the start.
I understand that you want to reach your goals quickly. Unfortunately, trying to be perfect is not the fast path to long lasting results.
The fast path is actually the slow path.
By being patient and allowing yourself to take the slow steady path, you will acquire new healthy skills along the way.
Those skills will be YOURS.
Willpower won't be required anymore because you will become changed into naturally living out new habits.
✨What action items are you focusing on for your H&F?✨

Here is my attempt at a Mario jump 😆 I had to request my photographer (Ryan) to get lower to create an illusion of a higher jump.
Side note--I am going to start sharing some personal information every now and then to break up my health & fitness content. This is mainly to help you all get to know me better and maybe we can find more similarities between us outside of my main niche
For today, here are 10 random (some weird) facts about me 😜
1) Your girl just got married last Thursday (7/1/2021) 💕 .pitts so gonna celebrate 1 week of marriage today 🎉
2) I'm a believer in Christ 🙏
3) I learn nearly everything I know from YouTube.
4) Topics that get me rambling are: health (duh), finances, personal growth, and travel.
5) I don't have a favorite food bc my palate constantly changes.
6) MARVEL is my jam 🦸
7) My day job is in the biotech industry.
8) I'm a wannabe minimalist.
9) When I walk under a low hanging branch I have an urge to high kick it... But I usually have enough selfcontrol not to do that. Also, when I see pretty flowers, I always stop to smell, photograph, and touch them 😅.
10) I love watching baby animal videos.
Can you relate to ANY of this?!

Selfcare doesn't require you to be perfect with your workout routines nor does it require you to completely avoid 'bad foods'.
It's simply a commitment to respect your body because your body relies on you.
Your body needs you to provide it with nutrients, vitamins, mineral, and water. Respect that need and eat a variety of foods so it has the opportunity to function optimally.
Your muscles and joints will only become stronger, more toned, more flexible, less painful when you give them all a little attention. Start with foam rolling, daily ~5 minute stretches, or short walks. Respect the need your body has for physical activity and movement.
Your mental health is shaped by the people who most influence you, how you speak to yourself, beliefs you hold about yourself, and how you manage your stress. Respect the need that some days your psyche simply needs you to slow down and recenter yourself. Practicing gratitude and laughing among loved ones are powerful ways to break through feeling low and down.
Wherever you are in your selfcare journey, lean into the idea that you are always worthy of a healthy, happy, confident life.
What are some of your ways you practice self-care? 🥘🥗🍓🍨🍩🚶♀️🏋️♂️🧘♀️🌴

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I plan on celebrating the freedom and victory of Mexico with several tacos, a margarita, and making a donation to support immigrants in need. Can't wait!
Now, let's have a short chat about celebrations.
There is nothing wrong with having 'too many' celebrations. Actually, what a blessing!
The issue arises when we give up our power and decide we are a victim of our circumstances and that we are not truly the ones in control, thus we fall into the pattern of binging then restricting our food to 'make up for it'.
The wish I have for you is to celebrate more. Life has so much to be celebrated.
The thing that needs to evolve is with our mindset. Oftentimes, we have jazzed up excitement around 'fun celebration food' and the fear of missing out or not maximizing enough.
The way that mindset shift evolves is different for everyone. For some people, it clicks immediately and they're forever changed, but for most it is a long journey of healing a relationship with both self and food.
The first step is to simply be acknowledge that the excitement for food / scarcity mindset is happening.
The next step is to think it through.
Ask yourself question #1, 'what is it that I actually want to eat and will thoroughly enjoy?'
After consuming it, ask yourself question #2, 'do I feel satisfied and satiated?' If no, go back to question #1. If yes, then stop eating for now. You can always have more if you start to feel hungry again.
The magic happens here, when you start making cognizant and permissive choices.
When you decide to indulge in a delicious treat, give yourself full permission and without self-judgement to do so.

Wellness check! How is your tummy feeling?
Oftentimes people tell me that they experience post-meal gas, bloating, cramps, discomfort, etc. Please hear me, even though you experience those feelings frequently, those symptoms don't have to be a typical part of your life.
When you experience those symptoms, that is your body communicating with you that something you consumed is now irritating your digestive system.
Everyone is different which means many foods are irritants to some people but not at all to others. So don't let pre-existing beliefs around 'healthy foods' or 'proper food portions' keep you from understanding your unique digestive situation.
To begin tackling this issue, I like to advice people to make a food log to include EVERYTHING that they eat as well as the quantity/servings. Importantly, include details on any digestive discomfort experienced ~2 hours after the meal.
Follow this for 30 days. The key idea is to simply document your food/drinks and observe your symptoms. In other words, do not change your eating habits. Just observe and document.
After the 30 day period, you will review your food log and decide for yourself which foods you should consider limiting based off which foods contributed to your post-meal discomfort.
What do you think?

Hi, Friends! Monday isn't over yet. Go crush your goals!
The temptation when doing cleans with dumbbells is wanting to do a bicep curl rather than bringing the dumbbells straight up the midline and kept close to your body. Cleans whether with a bar or with dumbbells should be a continuous and smooth movement. Whenever I go for this move, I always think to aim my elbows and triceps towards the sky. At the very last second, I snap my wrist by doing a rolling motion to get the weights settled close to my shoulders. Having the weights travel in a linear direction will keep the dumbbells’ weight stacked which will require you to recruit your leg muscles rather than arm muscles to complete the motion.
What are clean & presses? The clean portion is where you go from the squatting position with the weights on the ground then smoothly stand-up with the weights resting by your shoulders. The press portion is where you bring the weights from your shoulder level to above your head. A great thing about the clean & press is that you can scale down the difficulty by adding a little pop/jump motion both before the clean and before the press.
The benefits of doing the clean & press exercise:
👉 Work on your full body coordination
👉 Work on explosiveness from the legs
👉 Build some serious strength
👉 This movement requires your whole body--this will work you (hence why I was sucking down air, lol)
👉 Works your shoulders during both the clean and the press portions
👉 You can scale down this exercise by adding a little pop motion before the clean and before the press
As always, if you give this exercise a go, tag me! I want to see how you’re doing!
P.S. I look like I have a nice glowing tan right now. Honestly, 2 things are happening here. It was golden hour when I filmed this and I added a few points of color saturation when editing the video. In reality, your girl needs some vitamin D!
Ever been so sore that you have to physically reach down to pick up your legs to move them?!
