Quando tomou a iniciativa de emagrecer, ela procurou pela ajuda de um instrutor, que montou um plano para perder 30 kg em dois anos. “Comecei com pequenos passos”, falou. “Prestei atenção em minhas porções; comi mais frutas e vegetais, e menos comida enlatada”.

?Transformation Tuesday✔️ The left picture was taken in 2008 when my friend Deanna came home for a visit from out west. It was 4 years after high school ✍graduation and ✌ 2 years after college graduation. I was roughly 230lbs and not feeling the greatest about myself ?. Shortly after this I got a gym membership at the Dartmouth Sportsplex and started working out again. I had managed to loose about 30lbs a few years before this, but ended up gaining it back – I knew the 2nd time around I was going to do better ?. ? Fast forward to the right photo taken by Wayne Forrest last year after my 2nd time competing and I reached an amazing goal. No – I didn’t win any ? prizes, trophies ? or placement ? at the show, but I had so much pride in my accomplishment of feeling good about myself and how ? hard I worked to get there. I was down ⬇️115lbs total! I’m excited to compete again in the future ?. To all you ?ladies and gents ? who are prepping for your shows now – keep pushing, it’s totally worth it. Take all the selfies ? and progress pictures you can ? – because you all look fantastic. ?

? Workout Wednesday ? ❄️ Up at 4am today for work ☀️. ? I actually had a good sleep?. I was able to squeeze in my workout ? between my lunch break and finished the rest after my shift. ? time management is a huge part of success ?. I hear many people say they don’t have enough hours ⏳ in the day to fit in a workout – sometimes this is true but I noticed when I started making the time for myself and was consistent so was my progress. ? Strive for progress not perfection ?. #chiefinspirationalofficer #progressnotperfection #shiftworker #shiftworkerlife #lunchbreakcardio #leanaestheticslifestyle

Motivation Monday ?✔️ So sometimes even the CIO (Chief Inspirational Officer ?) needs to be inspired and motivated. Just had a coaching call ? with @iammatthewfox and it’s time for a mini-cut to help me regain so focus ?. Offseason has been hard for me to wrap my head around – your mind can play tricks on you after competing?/dieting? sometimes and it’s easy to go overboard and lose sight ? of goals ✍ you set for yourself. So cheers ? to my mini-cut Monday. ? my coach – if you need one shoot him a message [email protected] #ChiefInspirationalOfficer #leanaesthetics_lifestyle #motivationmonday #motivation #gymlife #wayneaforrestphotography #sexy #lechateauboots #victoriasecretlingerie #vickimartinmakeup #minicutmonday #offseasontraining #offseasongoals #wayneforrestphotography
