What was your motivation? What inspired you to keep going, even when you wanted to give up? 
I wanted to look better. I was in a space in time where I felt unappreciated and wanted others to validate my worth. I started doing the inner work and realized that taking care of my weight and health is self-love. I’m the one who has to appreciate myself the most. No one else. 

I fell back to my old self, and I’m excited to continue my health journey. My current inspiration is my new wardrobe. I love buying and trying new clothes. It’s been exciting and fun.

How did you change your eating habits?
I upped my protein intake and decreased my carb intake. I also ate whole foods. Yogurt, nuts, cottage cheese, and eggs played an everyday role. No soda or liquor unless it’s a special occasion.  

What is your workout routine?
I worked out at least three to five times a week. (six times a week when I’m “in mode”)The first few weeks were primarilyfocused on cardio before transitioning to using weights.
Cardio: walking for 20 minutes to two hours daily.
Weight training: lifting weights and using machines three to five times a week.
