I wanted to just basically wanted to check in! I have been keeping up with a workout regimen and have loosened up on my diet a bit! Considering I've officially lost 52lbs, I think I'm allowed to have a burger or something unhealthy every now and then! ;)
One thing A LOT of people have been asking me lately is, "How did you do it?!" When I answer with, "diet and exercise" - I get somewhat of a disappointed reaction almost every time. It's like they wanted my answer to be, "Oh! I found this great diet pill and I watch Netflix!"
NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN.
I don't understand the mentality of wanting this to just happen without any effort. I assure you that there is no pill/shake/superfood/vapor/whatever that will do this for you. I hate to break that to you, but it is true.
Oh, and another thing. The simple act of going into a gym, isn't going to make you lose weight either. I promise that walking into a gym, and sitting down on a machine to check your phone is not going to do a dang thing. It takes work, sweat, a certain amount of pain, motivation and willpower.
For example, I went into a fit of mild Irish rage last night when I got home from the gym. First of all, I did NOT want to go. I was whining like a baby about how I wanted to stay home and skip last night. My boyfriend Zac reminded me that I would just be pissed at myself later and he was right. So I went, came home, showered and sat down to putz around on my phone for a bit before bed. This woman had requested to follow me on Instagram, so I checked out her page. She was a girl who was claiming to have weighed 190lbs (around the same weight I was) and now she's lost 50lbs (also like I have) BUT there was something that really set me off. She claimed to have done it in 2 MONTHS and she claims she did it WITHOUT changing her diet or daily routine.
LYING LIAR THAT LIES.
I have said it before and I'll say it again, I am NOT a nutritionist. I am NOT a personal trainer. I am NOT a professional in the health and fitness world. I also was not born yesterday. You will not be able to eat whatever you want. You will not be able to sit on your ass and lose weight while taking a pill. This process, which sucks MAJORLY at times, takes work and strength. Not $79 a month on some Rasberry Extract Pill bullshit. Excuse my French.
Anyways - would you guys like me to post my diet and exercise plan? I have a lot of people asking and will gladly type out my day to day plan if you'd like! Give me your feedback and I will make my next move!
Have a great Wednesday!
