Cultivate & Motivate
Tips & tricks for all Moms looking to get f!t.
Socializing during the journey
Take it from me, learning discipline is the best thing I could have done for myself. I, too, was afraid to go out and have fun because I felt like I was pressured to eat a little of this and drink a little of that.
Losing it and Keeping it off!
There are so many products out there claiming to give you miracles. Anything that sounds too good is usually too good. A healthy diet consists of lean protein meats, veggies, whole grains, and healthy starches
Vitamins are key!
For my weight loss surgery family, it is so imperative to take your vitamins. Our caloric intake is very small, so we will not be able to get the daily intake from our foods.
Waist Training. It's a THING
I am particular about how I waist train. Many women go for the tightest latex waist trainer they can find, thinking that will get them the best results. WRONG!!!
Bariatric Surgery
I want to say that BARIATRIC SURGERY IS NOT AN EASY WAY OUT. So many people who have not had the surgery look at the before and afters of someone's journey and think that the surgery alone made this transformation happen. WRONG!!
A meal plan that works!
I want to share with you what I did for myself. I reset the way my pouch (stomach) and my brain worked.
Let’s talk about Sex!
Let's be clear; we sometimes are more comfortable with the lights off. Our self-esteem gets beaten down sometimes by the extra weight we have.
Self-Love during the journey
You wanting to be healthier and wanting to change your lifestyle all together is the main reason you should acknowledge that self-love as you want better for YOU.
No Toxicity Allowed
The journey of choosing to lose weight is a battle within itself, so why fight with people who are negative on purpose just to throw your focus off.
Squats, Squats and more Squats
Squats are so effective with strengthening the core, butt, thighs and overall lower body. They are so easy to do so staying consistent should be a breeze.
Say Yes to Alternatives
I'm going to let you in on my delicious alternatives that made me never want to go back to "regular" food again!
Weight fluctuation truths!
Your body's weight is a combo of bone, fat, tissue, muscle, and water. Changes on the scale are not the best reflection of fat loss. It is best to weigh yourself once a week.
CARBS?... NET CARBS?? HUH??
A low-carb lifestyle doesn't just help you lose weight; it helps lower blood pressure, blood sugar and balances your cholesterol. Amazing right?
What Works
I tried every diet I could think of and they all failed. ALL OF THEM. I purchased every pill out of GNC. All failed.
Kick that sweets craving
Here are some of the alternatives that I found to be absolutely delicious but less sugar or sugar-free, higher in protein, and less in carbs.
Say "I Do" to Water
When water removes toxins, it becomes the moisturizer we need for smoother and cleaner-looking skin.
