Maintaining Your Weight

So you lost a significant amount of weight and you have met all of your fitness goals. Now what? I was in that same boat about six months ago. So in January I made the commitment to maintain my weight for the next six months. 

My Game Plan

1. Take my weight and measurements

2. Buy healthy food once a week

3. Exercise for at least 30 min 5 times a week. 

4. Eat every 2 - 3 hours. 

5. Cheat whenever I want. 

 Six months later to my surprise I weighed exactly the same and actually lost an inch around my hips! So what did I do? After years of dieting and being freaked out to eat anything unhealthy I was very skeptical. But I changed the way I viewed eating and focused on being fit and healthy. I Allowed myself to eat a brownie or piece of candy whenever I wanted one. What I found out was the longer I ate healthy food the less I wanted junk food. 

This experiment has given me so much more confidence in myself. I know that if I can maintain my weight for six months I can maintain my weight for the rest of my life. It is a lifestyle change. By changing the way I viewed food I have changed my entire life and you can do the same!

P.s. For July fourth we made a watermelon cake! It was super simple and fun! 

If you have an questions let me know!

Until next time,
