white high low

I used to do it for the the thigh gap, now I just do it for my health. Slimming down and toning up is great, but this is sooo much bigger than that. ????????
.
Growing up, I was a competitive gymnast, I danced, swam, played volleyball, participated in track and field. I was an active kid. I was never ever close to being over weight. But when the physical activity slowed down, so did my metabolism of course, and we know how that story goes. ????
.

Two years ago, I despised my body. I treated it like a receptacle for a few years - beer, more beer, late night poutine, wine, cocktails , more beer, junk food - I had created terrible habits and was stuck in a truly unhealthy cycle. ???? I distinctly remember one particular night when I put on my favourite, go to, little black dress and that little black dress was waaaay too little on me. I cancelled my plans, and as backwards as this was, I spent the night crying in my bed while stuffing my face with ice cream . To say I was defeated would be an understatement. ????
.

My weight literally started getting in my way and THAT WAS WHEN I KNEW I needed to make a change. ?? When hiking became a chore and being outdoors wasn't something I enjoyed anymore, that was it for me. ???? I messaged my gal pal who had been posting allll about this new home workout plan that had helped her lose weight (and gain confidence). I started a 21 day program that incorporated weights, cardio, Pilates, and yoga, and by the end of the third week, I had lost 11 pounds and 8 inches. THAT SH*T CHANGED MY LIFE. white high low ????????

So yes, I can be somewhat superficial sometimes and find myself looking in the mirror longing for that thigh gap (which I associate with my "goal weight" - whatever that means), but mostly, I work out and eat clean because I want to LOVE the life I'm living, you know?!? ??
.

If you're ready to make a change and you're curious about my journey, please reach out. ???? I'm always so happy to help others find something that works for them too! ????????
