Y’all I am beyond proud of myself for going to the gym for 9 weeks straight!! Can you believe it? CAN I BELIEVE IT????🤯 Week after week, it was different for me. Like the first four weeks I did the Shred Program by Brittany Lupton and that…THAT was amazing and I am so beyond proud of myself for completing that four week challenge! Then there was the second four weeks, I jumped right in to Brittany Lupton’s Advance Program and completed that! It was so amazing having my best friend, Kennedy, with me those 7/8 weeks, and she is still going strong with me every single day✊🏾.
Don’t put me too high on a pedestal, there were a few days in there where I didn’t want to get up at 5a.m. and go to the gym, so I let my body rest. I stayed in bed and slept in. BUT I didn’t let that stop my grind. This year, 2023, I chose to be very disciplined and stick to my grind! That’s something I was going to make a priority. To stick to my plan, and continue going and it helps a lot having a buddy go with me. We held each other accountable and I loved that for us!
Oh, before I forget, I decided that my 9th week going to the gym would be my deload week. Meaning, lifting 30%-50% lighter than my normal to give my body a break but still stick to my routine. It was hard to not lift as heavy as I am used to but it was nice for a small break. I read from the KK Fit twins on Instagram that a deload week is good around week 8-10, so I choose the middle, week 9. So now I’m on to week 10, and I’ve already got myself set on lifting heavy again! YAY🥳 it feels like it’s been so long haha, not really but do miss hitting consistent PRs🥲.
Side note: I weighed myself after week 8 and I lost about 5 pounds! That may not seem like a lot but to me it is. I’ve been trying to eat better and everyday is a battle but I’ve got this! This week coming up, I’m trying to my hardest to get my nutrition for my body right. I’m trying to eat cleaner, more whole foods, and lot’s of protein! I don’t think I want to go on a diet, per say, but I do want to use the 80/20 method (whole foods/fun foods: desserts, wine, candies etc.) so I don’t just cut the “bad” foods out of my life, because ya girl will not do that so why even sit here and say otherwise😅. But Deanna Margo on Instagram said that the 80/20 method was a good route to go for us foodies, so that’s what I’m doing. I’ll report back on how that’s going!
Side joke: My pastor was reading a scripture in church today and said ‘Jesus is the bread of life” and then stated “SEE, carbs are good for you”🤣 I just thought that was hilarious!
