Rest is as important as exercise and a good diet. Make sure you take at least one day off to just chill and let your body (and mind!) recover. Enjoy the summer! . . #fitgirl #summer #poolside #pooltime #bikinigseason #ootd #shades #elpaso @blackalfredofficial

Most people assume I am naturally lean and somewhat athletic. "You're skinny! You wouldn't know." Well, I'm not naturally like this. It has taken me years of education, trial and error, training, tons of failed attempts, crying, anger, frustration, depression... I put in the work at the gym Mon. to Fri. and am mindful of what I eat (protein-rich, nutritious breakfast from Corner Bakery after a hard workout pictured), I stick to whole foods, avoid empty calories, I make sure I sleep enough and at reasonable times, I drink only water, coffee, and tea... I don't want to enter any competitions and I love sweet things too much to even give up fruit so I would never go Keto. I know that in order to be even more toned and have an even lower body fat percentage I'd have to completely give up all the sweet things I love and having drinks with my husband on the weekend. I've decided that I prefer eating sweets and fruit and a beer or two on the weekend, even though my abs will never be a full six-pack and my body fat percentage will probably never go below 20%. I would like that, but I'm not willing to make those sacrifices. I have been much leaner and much heavier, but I am the best version of myself I can be at any given time and I feel strong and healthy, and that's all that truly matters to me. What I'm saying is, be realistic with your fitness goals. What are you willing to do for them? What are you willing to compromise? What are you willing to sacrifice? But more importantly, why do you have those fitness goals? Is it for yourself or for someone or something else? Fitness is more than just exercise and food, introspection has been a huge part of my growth as a person AND as a fitness professional. And that's why I've become a Wellness Coach!
