Not One Pound

"Don't Wish For a Good Body, Work For It!"- Unknown

You may read this blog title and think why would anyone in the world do the whole30 then not lose one stinking pound?! It is so much more than weight loss when it come to living a healthy lifestyle. There is always a goal to set and for that goal to be accomplished. I can not believe how much I kept telling myself that I would be 125 by the end of my whole30 adventure, HA. This was completely the wrong motive. Crazy right? Every other women in this world's main goal is to lose at least a pound or two. There is so much more to a healthy life. 

By the end of the whole30 I had so much confidence. I loved eating completely clean and healthy. The motive behind all of this was to live and learn to live a healthier life style and incorporate it into everyday life. Change everything about the way I eat to be mentally prepared for  Competition in the Fall. 

I have already started comp prep! I have a lot of plans of how to become successful when stepping on stage. This is something I have been wanting for who knows how long. After the whole30 I did need a cheat, and a cheat I got. I figured out that I really don't like yogurt, and I would rather have a lettuce wrap burger than a burger with the bun. Crazy, Right?! I definitely missed the yummy salad dressing, but now I only drizzle a little. Dressing can make something completely healthy into unhealthy. 

I do look leaner, and feel leaner. I know I replaced fat with muscle because I believe I started at 28% body fat, now I am at 26% body fat. 

Going to prep for comp will be so interesting. I need to have my meals ready. Getting over the whole30 has been hard but doable. Ive been slowly getting normal foods back in my body. But I am making sure that I work out consistently as well as eating at the same time everyday. Now it is about getting the diet right, doing a show for myself because it has always been something I've been admiring for who knows how long!

As for those who are struggling with weight loss, do not give up on yourself. It takes time to adjust and it takes time to know what you truly want. 

Here is some advice, take it or leave it. Self love is the most important thing we can give to ourselves. Not overly confident still staying humble but not being so hard on ourself. It is important to notice transformations, or changes even if they are small. All the small small things will turn into big things. All you have to do is be willing to put in time and do the work then the rewards will come.
