My Progress

 

Today I hit an important milestone for me. Still not quite half way but that’s ok. I’m still very proud of this achievement and how far I’ve come. I’ve noticed that it’s very easy for me to gain 5lbs in just one day, but it can take me a few weeks to loose 5lbs… I’ve had to make a lot of permanent changes to my diet, honestly I believe that’s what has really helped in the long run. The road to healthy weight loss is a tough one, often times it’s pretty lonely too and temptations are around every corner… I do still treat myself occasionally which helps me to not binge out on not-so-healthy foods when I’ve let the craving go on for too long…. I remind myself that I am human. I am not perfect and I don’t need to be. I only want 3 things in this life. To be healthy, to be happy, and for my loved ones to have those same things. Remember, if we all ate the same food and did the same exact and amount of exercise, we’d all still have different bodies. Learn to love the one you’re in! It’s the only one you’ll ever have.

A Little Protein Goes a Long Way

   It’s easy to forget in the weight loss process that muscle mass is important to retain. Not just for energy sakes but also, healthy muscles burn fat faster! Alongside eating a healthy diet of meats and veggies high in protein, or perhaps you’re vegetarian or vegan, a normal diet doesn’t always have the boost of protein that we need. A personal favourite that I’ve been using is the Manitoba Harvest “Hemp Yeah Protein + Fibre” powder. To be 100% transparent, it’s still chalky like all the other popular powders out there, sorry! But I love it for its mild-to-no taste depending on what I mix with my almond milk. It’s also plant-based, unsweetened, so NO STEVIA!!!, and low carb. Overall I definitely prefer it over the many other powders I’ve tried and I’m happy to support a Canadian Company as well.

Getting Started

 Getting into a healthy routine is tough no matter your background or physical abilities. Something I learned myself all too well. Over the years my weight has fluctuated between pregnancies, mental health and a binge eating disorder. But over the last year I’ve really tried to come to terms with my bad habits and accept that I need to make some permanent changes to my lifestyle choices. Little by little the changes have become easier, like cutting out a ton of sugar, not eating before bed and cutting out processed foods. I increased my activity by getting on my bike as often as possible and working out at home. So far I’ve lost over 45lbs and as much as I often wish the weight would come off faster, I know that slow and steady yields longer lasting and more permanent results.  This is my first blog I’ve ever started, so excuse me as I learn to navigate this. But I really hope I can help and inspire other people to start, or continue along their paths to a healthy life.
