✨ My goal was never to be “toned” — it was to FEEL LIKE ME AGAIN. ✨
I’ve been getting so many questions about nutrition, fitness, and how to achieve that “toned” look, especially from those who remember my strength training type bodybuilding days! 👀💪🏼 SO I decided to record how my Virtual training looks!
But here’s what I want you to understand especially as a female : your body changes, your hormones change, and your lifestyle changes. What worked in one season of life may not work in another. My 20s are very different then my 30s and I am sure every year & every environment I live it will continue to change! 🤍
When I moved to Virginia, I was working 6–7 days a week, building my career in both DC & VA , eating out constantly, and putting my health on the back burner, because seeing that 💰 was exciting!!! Eventually, my body started telling me something had to change — hormonal issues, acne, inflammation, puffiness, and chronic migraines. Same with my husband, he was the heaviest & grumpiest he has ever been.
So my husband and I slowed down- I left the gym & worked at the Salon about 4 days a week because you could easily make a lot more with hair and tips alone at that time. We stopped eating out completely & only cooking at home, I began working out from home and running, and I dove deeper into yoga and Pilates getting certified in both. 🧘🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️
The result? He transformed his health, my skin cleared, my inflammation improved, and I started feeling like ME again. Which I KNEW because I was already a holistic nutritionist & healed myself once before, but this goes to show that life really catches up to us all! ✨ We also got relocated a year later to a slower pace of life & he received a combat position- you cannot tell me there’s never a purpose in our journeys?!
Nowadays , movement isn’t about chasing a certain look for me. It’s about feeling good, managing my pain, supporting my health, doing movements correctly and creating a lifestyle that works for the season I’m in!
Your season may change. Your goals may change. Give yourself permission to change with them.
