- 00:01:10year I do think that they have made a
- 00:01:12significant difference and change in my
- 00:01:14body and my goals but I want to just
- 00:01:16like get that out the way I don't want

- 00:01:28all the time cuz she's my faite favorite
- 00:01:30I love you it is creatine creatine I
- 00:01:32have been on the supplement since 2022
- 00:01:34February so we are almost coming up on
- 00:01:37our three-year Mark creatine is my pride
- 00:01:39and joy I think it's amazing it is not a
- 00:01:41steroid okay you're not going to get ra
- 00:01:43like beefy and crazy buff unless your
- 00:01:45genetics lean towards that route but I
- 00:01:48doubt if you're watching this video they
- 00:01:50do so don't worry about that what it
- 00:01:51does do is that it increases your muscle
- 00:01:54ability to perform creatine is just
- 00:01:55going to give you that extra push that
- 00:01:57you're looking for in the gym which is
- 00:01:58going to help you be able to to build
- 00:02:00more muscle the more muscle you have the
- 00:02:02more calories you burn the more fat you
- 00:02:03lose okay so it's kind of like a domino
- 00:02:05effect I do think that it initially
- 00:02:06kicked off my fitness journey I think
- 00:02:08that I've seen some amazing results on
- 00:02:09it and I recommend it to all my clients
- 00:02:12even if you know you're on a phus
- 00:02:13journey whether you're on a muscle
- 00:02:15gaining Journey whether you're on I'm
- 00:02:16just trying to be skinny as journey I
- 00:02:18don't care I I just I recommend it
- 00:02:20overall I think it's great especially
- 00:02:21for my older people it's very important
- 00:02:23that you're supplementing something like
- 00:02:24creatine because you guys do lose muscle
- 00:02:26at a higher rate okay not to call you
- 00:02:28out sorry I love my mother M the second
- 00:02:31supplement that I've been able to be
- 00:02:32relatively consistent with over the past
- 00:02:34half a year cuz I wasn't really taking
- 00:02:35it at the beginning is a digestive
- 00:02:37enzyme I kind of go back and forth
- 00:02:39depending on like how I'm feeling
- 00:02:40between the symbiotic Pro pre and
- 00:02:43postbiotic and then this digestive
- 00:02:45enzyme from Physician's Choice with pre
- 00:02:47and probiotics in it I got this one from
- 00:02:49Amazon obviously this one is from ritual
- 00:02:51I think focusing on your gut health and
- 00:02:53making sure that everything down there
- 00:02:54is working normal is important I have
- 00:02:57noticed a significant difference not
- 00:02:58only in my skin skin and how it's
- 00:03:00glowing but also in my body's ability to
- 00:03:03just heal through food not not not in in
- 00:03:05that sense but I just feel like I
- 00:03:07haven't had as many stomach issues since
- 00:03:09taking that and because I've noticed
- 00:03:10that difference is what's made me stay
- 00:03:12so consistent with it okay so the next
- 00:03:13supplement that I've been taking is
- 00:03:15magnesium and magnesium is my girl okay
- 00:03:18she's not going to put you to sleep but
- 00:03:19what she does is relaxes your body and
- 00:03:21it puts you in a super deep sleep so if
- 00:03:23you don't know sleep is extremely
- 00:03:24important when you're trying to like I
- 00:03:25don't know like repair your muscles and
- 00:03:27your brain and all that fun good stuff
- 00:03:29if you're sleep sleep sucks and you're
- 00:03:30not seeing a lot of results she might be
- 00:03:32your girl sorry she might be your girl
- 00:03:33I'm I'm just being honest I wish more
- 00:03:34people talked about sleep I'd love to do
- 00:03:36a dedicated sleep video but you guys
- 00:03:38don't come on that page for this so
- 00:03:40that's why I haven't made one your sleep
- 00:03:41is is so important okay so put a little
- 00:03:43extra effort into prioritizing that and
- 00:03:46if you need a little help do it you're
- 00:03:47going to be fine so the next thing that
- 00:03:49I've been consistently taking is a
- 00:03:50pre-workout I take oxy shred um this is
- 00:03:52just one of their energy drinks
- 00:03:54sometimes I do the powders as well and
- 00:03:55I'm trying to get like really up in the
- 00:03:57gym if I want to feel like I'm on a line
- 00:03:58of coke and I want to sweat to the gods
- 00:04:00and burn a lot of extra calories she's
- 00:04:02my girl it's kind of like routine now
- 00:04:03honestly the powder is probably going to
- 00:04:05be a little bit better for you but I
- 00:04:06personally prefer a carbonated soda like
- 00:04:09Juice drink in the morning and then
- 00:04:10finally I have been taking an electroly
- 00:04:13packet almost every single day the
- 00:04:15specific brand that I take is element
- 00:04:17and they are also sponsoring this week's
- 00:04:18video so please give them a huge shout
- 00:04:20out for me oh my God thank you now I've
- 00:04:23actually been taking an element packet
- 00:04:24for a year and a half at this point and
- 00:04:26I have noticed a tremendous difference I
- 00:04:29used to have all all these issues with
- 00:04:30my muscles and then I started
- 00:04:31prioritizing taking my micronutrients
- 00:04:33and my electrolytes and it stopped and I
- 00:04:34was like oh my God was I the problem I
- 00:04:36was and you're probably the problem too
- 00:04:38now for the girlies who aren't super
- 00:04:39HIIT about what element is they are
- 00:04:41electrolyte drink mix and it contains a
- 00:04:43science-backed electrolyte ratio okay so
- 00:04:45that is a th000 mg of sodium 200 Mig of
- 00:04:48potassium and 60 Mig of magnesium when
- 00:04:51you are working out in your training
- 00:04:53even in the winter time the primary
- 00:04:54electrolyte that you're losing is sodium
- 00:04:56and some people can even lose up to 7
- 00:04:58gram of sodium a day and that is why
- 00:04:59it's a bit much and when that sodium
- 00:05:02isn't replaced it is super common to
- 00:05:04have muscle fatiguing symptoms you know
- 00:05:06like those cramps the charlyy horses
- 00:05:08headaches signs of dehydration it's it's
- 00:05:11a lot and it's awful trust me I would
- 00:05:12know I used to get this one cramp right
- 00:05:14here in this AB muscle and I didn't
- 00:05:15think You' get a cramp there but you can
- 00:05:17I'm telling you it's awful and you've
- 00:05:18never experienced it you're lucky now
- 00:05:20one of the reasons I prefer element is
- 00:05:21because it has none of the junk no sugar
- 00:05:24no coloring no artificial flavors no
- 00:05:26gluten no fillers and just no BS okay

- 00:06:22them both in my description box down
- 00:06:24below take a watch this journey has been
- 00:06:26overwhelming it's been a lot but I have
- 00:06:28learned a lot and I I want to share all
- 00:06:30that information with you guys as much
- 00:06:31as possible because I know that this is
- 00:06:33difficult and I know that this is hard
- 00:06:34okay okay okay okay I'm going to tell
- 00:06:36you I know you're wondering tiia what
- 00:06:38the have you been up to in the past year
- 00:06:39why do you look so different maybe I
- 00:06:41don't look different maybe I'm being
- 00:06:42delusional okay but I feel like I look
- 00:06:43different and it's not just the hair I
- 00:06:45fear I've made some changes and I know
- 00:06:47you want to know exactly what I've done
- 00:06:48to get from that to this don't rush me
- 00:06:51Katie I'm just not ready so at the
- 00:06:54beginning of this year I was actually
- 00:06:56really really struggling with my
- 00:06:59physique I think it's a crazy thing to
- 00:07:01think about because obviously I'm going
- 00:07:02to show up as myself 100% with you guys
- 00:07:05but sometimes there are internal battles
- 00:07:06that like you know it's you don't feel
- 00:07:08super safe to bring up on the Internet
- 00:07:10especially being in this space yeah I
- 00:07:13was struggling I was struggling a lot
- 00:07:14and I was covering up my lack of
- 00:07:17discipline and my poor relationship with
- 00:07:20nutrition and calling it a bulk to be
- 00:07:22honest and not to call anybody else out
- 00:07:24but I think I see a lot of people and a
- 00:07:27lot of women specifically doing that in
- 00:07:29the space SP some of my peers I see them
- 00:07:30doing that not to call you guys out I
- 00:07:31love you I don't think we should
- 00:07:32normalize being inconsistent with our
- 00:07:35diet and using it and and overindulging
- 00:07:37and then calling it a bulk for the sake
- 00:07:39of calling it a bulk right because like
- 00:07:40R lying to ourselves it's the lack of
- 00:07:42self-control that we have okay the lack
- 00:07:44of self-control and probably the lack of
- 00:07:45knowledge you know I think growing up I
- 00:07:47I always wish that I could be one of
- 00:07:48those girls that could literally eat
- 00:07:50whatever they wanted and just have the
- 00:07:52most amazing banging sexy dump belicious
- 00:07:54badest cheeks with the smallest
- 00:07:56non-existent waste okay you know good
- 00:07:58example of that Que Blackwell is she
- 00:08:00God's favorite yes does she do whatever
- 00:08:01she wants yes does she not work out yes
- 00:08:03do I wish it was me yes yes I do I wish
- 00:08:06it was me I do because it the the work
- 00:08:08that goes into building the best version
- 00:08:10of yourself especially when it comes to
- 00:08:11your physique is a lot and I know a lot
- 00:08:13of you guys get what I'm saying out
- 00:08:14there it's stressful it's annoying and
- 00:08:15you know you look at other people and
- 00:08:17you're very envious I'm very envious all
- 00:08:18the time when I see certain girls even
- 00:08:20certain girls in the fitness industry
- 00:08:21who've never ever struggled with you
- 00:08:22know their weight or anything like that
- 00:08:24and get to come on this and speak to you
- 00:08:25guys on a platform about how to be
- 00:08:27healthy and they if they've never had an
- 00:08:28issue of being overweight or being
- 00:08:30severely underweight or you know having
- 00:08:32one of those almond moms that just say
- 00:08:34if you just lost 10 pounds you'd be you
- 00:08:36know this and that not diminish anyone's
- 00:08:38story or anything like that but maybe
- 00:08:40don't be in that conversation you know
- 00:08:41but I say all that to say that that is a
- 00:08:43distant dream that I have reluctantly
- 00:08:45learned to let go that's just not my
- 00:08:46reality and that's okay so when I
- 00:08:48started this year I was in the mindset
- 00:08:50of either I'm in a bulk or I'm going to
- 00:08:52cut I am over it I'm over it I hate it I
- 00:08:54hate thinking about bulking I hate
- 00:08:55thinking about cutting I don't like it I
- 00:08:57don't think it's healthy for me
- 00:08:58personally and I don't mean like was
- 00:08:59ever harming my body but I do think that
- 00:09:01the way that I was viewing it were
- 00:09:03excuses to undereat and excuses to
- 00:09:05overeat and that is something that you
- 00:09:06don't want to get CAU to I was traveling
- 00:09:08a lot at the beginning of the year and
- 00:09:10that is something that I'm extremely
- 00:09:11grateful to have the opportunity to do
- 00:09:13that every time I travel that's all I
- 00:09:14has a vacation so I ate whatever the I
- 00:09:16wanted I tried to focus on getting
- 00:09:19protein sources but it's difficult you
- 00:09:20know you're there with other people who
- 00:09:21have different goals who are are doing
- 00:09:23all these things and it's difficult for
- 00:09:24me to want to spend money on something
- 00:09:25that I maybe don't exactly want to eat
- 00:09:28and so I would just get exactly what I
- 00:09:29wanted and then I would struggle to find
- 00:09:31routine and consistency with all the
- 00:09:33traveling and the bulk that on top of
- 00:09:37the fact that I got fired from my job
- 00:09:39like 6 months prior which then made me
- 00:09:41become extremely sedentary okay I went
- 00:09:43from doing on you know I went from
- 00:09:45averaging 15K steps a day to literally
- 00:09:47only getting 4,000 coming out of that
- 00:09:49bulk trying to go into more of a cut but
- 00:09:52then having a sedentary lifestyle and
- 00:09:55having the appetite of a bulk it just
- 00:09:57like was not working at all like I think
- 00:10:00my maintenance calories like when I was
- 00:10:02working and when I was in school was
- 00:10:03around like 2700 2800 close to 3,000 and
- 00:10:07once I got fired from my job like I I
- 00:10:10stopped getting as many steps in and my
- 00:10:12maintenance calories dropped
- 00:10:13significantly to like you know 22 23 21
- 00:10:17which is a huge difference especially if
- 00:10:18you're used to eating a higher volume of
- 00:10:20food so that coupled with the fact that
- 00:10:22I was traveling so much in the beginning
- 00:10:24of the year made it very difficult for
- 00:10:26me to see any results in my physique and
- 00:10:28if you guys like look back at like any
- 00:10:29of my videos um from a year ago you can
- 00:10:32see the difference in my face you can
- 00:10:34see the difference in my in my arms my
- 00:10:36body but you can you can see that there
- 00:10:38is a a difference in what's going on
- 00:10:40because of that I started to really
- 00:10:41resent the journey a little bit like I
- 00:10:43said like showing up for you guys can be
- 00:10:46so difficult when you're having your own
- 00:10:48struggles with your body and then going
- 00:10:50to all those photo shoots and realizing
- 00:10:52you know even though I love my body and
- 00:10:54I am grateful for the work that I've put
- 00:10:56in like there are just tiny skinny
- 00:10:58around those gym sharck athletes they're
- 00:11:01tiny you know I'm not a big girl by by
- 00:11:04any means okay especially like at least
- 00:11:06not anymore but being around women that
- 00:11:08were so petite and so small and they
- 00:11:10always had their sizing and and and it
- 00:11:12was always like oh maybe they'll have my
- 00:11:14size maybe they won't have my size type
- 00:11:15of thing it really ate away at me and
- 00:11:18sucks cuz you don't want to feel
- 00:11:19insecure especially because you feel
- 00:11:21like you've done so much work on
- 00:11:22yourself to to bring yourself out of
- 00:11:24that but I did I felt very insecure and
- 00:11:27it would get to the point where I was
- 00:11:27like oh like I'm not going to like
- 00:11:29photos anyway so I might as well just
- 00:11:30keep eating like who cares like that and
- 00:11:32that was something that I had to deal
- 00:11:34with and understand Within Myself and I
- 00:11:35hope that in me expressing and being a
- 00:11:37little bit more vulnerable about how I
- 00:11:39felt about myself can remind you guys
- 00:11:40that social media is a highlight re the
- 00:11:42things that you see the things that I
- 00:11:44show you the struggles and the thoughts
- 00:11:45and the insecurities that you're having
- 00:11:47all of us have that and sometimes when
- 00:11:49I'm feeling that way and I'm like oh
- 00:11:50like I shouldn't feel that way I remind
- 00:11:52myself that Lori hary with her beautiful
- 00:11:54sexy amazing gorgeous self probably
- 00:11:56feels the same way I do maybe if that
- 00:11:58even more just because of you know
- 00:12:00you're always being put in in the
- 00:12:01spotlight and people are always
- 00:12:02commenting on your body and and saying
- 00:12:04statements here and saying statements
- 00:12:05that so yeah just remember like you're
- 00:12:07not alone your feelings and your
- 00:12:09emotions towards this are not unique I
- 00:12:11guarantee you majority of women who are
- 00:12:13watching this video today and and you
- 00:12:14know even if you're not a woman you're
- 00:12:16watching this video I'm sure you felt
- 00:12:17what I felt or maybe I'm delusional and
- 00:12:19Lori Harvey isn't having any of those

- 00:12:35first thing that I changed was my goal
- 00:12:37okay my goals have changed this year you
- 00:12:39guys remember the whole like working out
- 00:12:41made me bulky conversation and how that
- 00:12:44is just riddled with societal pressure
- 00:12:46to be skinny again do you guys remember
- 00:12:47that conversation I do I made a whole
- 00:12:49video on it they got me they got me what
- 00:12:51can I say I'm easily influent this
- 00:12:54kickstarted a goal I didn't realize that
- 00:12:56I had which is Comfort okay when I think
- 00:12:59about my body and the most comfortable
- 00:13:02space and state that I have felt in it
- 00:13:03has never been in a bulk oh my God I
- 00:13:07hate bulking I hate that I hate it so
- 00:13:10I've decided I'm not going to do it
- 00:13:11again I'm content with the size of my
- 00:13:12glutes some of you guys are going to
- 00:13:13think they're fat some of you guys are
- 00:13:14going to think they're normal haha made
- 00:13:17you look it's normal every single time
- 00:13:19that I bulked I felt extremely
- 00:13:21uncomfortable in my own skin my clothes
- 00:13:23fit tight as the fat on my face not not
- 00:13:26the hugest you know not the hugest fan
- 00:13:28of not not my thing not my forte when I
- 00:13:31was bulking guys my clothes I was
- 00:13:33literally popping out of my clothes now
- 00:13:35with changing my goals I had to change
- 00:13:37my Approach towards Fitness so I'm going
- 00:13:39to share with you guys exactly what
- 00:13:40changes I personally implemented into my
- 00:13:42training and my nutrition um you know in
- 00:13:45case you're feeling the same way okay so
- 00:13:47the first thing and I will always say
- 00:13:50this over and over again is I increased
- 00:13:52my physical activity exercise and
- 00:13:54physical activity are two different
- 00:13:55things right exercise is just physical
- 00:13:58activity that's planned that is the
- 00:14:00difference okay but I'm telling you a
- 00:14:02lot of people neglect physical activity
- 00:14:04and if they didn't they would see more
- 00:14:07results no one saying you have to kill
- 00:14:09yourself in the gym to see results right
- 00:14:10I went from someone that was getting 4K
- 00:14:13steps you know Max a day to now
- 00:14:15prioritizing getting 13 to 15K steps a
- 00:14:18day okay and I've seen huge massive
- 00:14:21differences in my physique and my body
- 00:14:23even in my digestion some things that I
- 00:14:25like to do right I park my car at my gym
- 00:14:28at the furthest parking spot all the way
- 00:14:29in the back one I have a nice car now
- 00:14:32thank you guys and so I don't want to
- 00:14:33give anyone a reason to park near me but
- 00:14:35also it gives me an opportunity to get
- 00:14:37some extra steps in as annoying as it is
- 00:14:39right cuz no one wants to park far away
- 00:14:40I promise you if you start doing it you
- 00:14:42do it every day for a month it'll just
- 00:14:44be your parking spot like imagine you're
- 00:14:45at school and you're sitting in the same
- 00:14:47seat every day that's your seat even
- 00:14:49though it's not a sign that's your seat
- 00:14:51and you want to do the same thing and
- 00:14:52make it a routine for you now my friends
- 00:14:54from the gym know when I'm there because
- 00:14:56I park in the same spot in the back
- 00:14:58every single time time and I'm getting
- 00:14:59like an extra thousand steps or so a day
- 00:15:02just from doing that but just getting
- 00:15:04extra steps in in some form or fashion
- 00:15:06another thing that I've implemented
- 00:15:07right some people my friend Esther she
- 00:15:09likes to take these morning walks I
- 00:15:11can't do that and I won't be doing that
- 00:15:12it's just not natural to me and I also
- 00:15:14really don't enjoy walking that much I
- 00:15:15don't but because I've been trying to
- 00:15:17separate house and home what I like to
- 00:15:18do now is I walk to a coffee shop it's
- 00:15:20like 6 miles away you know so I'm
- 00:15:22walking about 1 to 1.2 mil extra a day
- 00:15:26that you know that is now adding like 4
- 00:15:27to 5,000 extra steps that I typically
- 00:15:30wouldn't take and it's a nice way not
- 00:15:31only to get some good vitamin D and get
- 00:15:33outside and get some fresh air but also
- 00:15:35create a nice balance between you know
- 00:15:37work and home and all that other stuff
- 00:15:39get your steps in I promise you that is
- 00:15:41like one of the most underrated things
- 00:15:43people are not doing and they should
- 00:15:45okay and I will keep saying this over
- 00:15:46and over and over and over again a lot
- 00:15:48of you guys would see more results if
- 00:15:49you just increased your step so pay
- 00:15:51attention to them and track them you
- 00:15:52know plus when I'm at a coffee shop I'm
- 00:15:54increasing the likelihood that I'm going
- 00:15:56to meet I'm going to have my romcom
- 00:15:58moment okay I'm going to be mysterious
- 00:16:00and productive and studious and hot and
- 00:16:02attractive and sexy and I'm going to
- 00:16:03meet a really rich tall man okay and
- 00:16:05he's going to sweep me off my feet and
- 00:16:07you know maybe I'm going to meet my
- 00:16:07prince charming that would be great and
- 00:16:09amazing and so it's another way to not
- 00:16:11only get more steps in be more active
- 00:16:13but then also put myself in more
- 00:16:15opportunities to meet people okay so the
- 00:16:18next thing that I started doing and I
- 00:16:19really don't even want to admit this
- 00:16:21I've been increasing my cardio I know I
- 00:16:24know ah sue me I used to be a sh talk on
- 00:16:26cardio and I still kind of am a talker
- 00:16:28on cardio but I I can't lie that kind of
- 00:16:30doing her thing recently now I'm not
- 00:16:31saying that you need to do an hour's
- 00:16:33worth of cardio okay cuz I have never in
- 00:16:35my life done that and I don't see myself
- 00:16:37doing that in the foreseeable future I
- 00:16:39can now do 20 to 40 minutes comfortably
- 00:16:41without wanting to hate myself or this
- 00:16:44overarching dreading feeling of oh my
- 00:16:46God I have to do cardio every now and
- 00:16:47then I do have that oh my god do cardio
- 00:16:49moment now real quick I do want to say
- 00:16:51your heart of all the muscles on your
- 00:16:52body is the most important muscle and
- 00:16:55training your heart is just as important
- 00:16:56as training your so that is why even if
- 00:16:59your goals don't alive of doing cardio
- 00:17:00that is why you should still do it
- 00:17:02you're trying to look young and sexy and
- 00:17:03beautiful and amazing for the rest of
- 00:17:04your life protect her now the stick with
- 00:17:06cardio is that you don't need to go fast
- 00:17:09some of you are always going so fast and
- 00:17:11you wonder why you can't be consistent
- 00:17:13no one is saying you need to go level 12
- 00:17:14on the stair master that at three that's
- 00:17:16how I started then go to four then go to
- 00:17:18five then go to six then seven then
- 00:17:19eight and I promise you if you were
- 00:17:21consistent in starting off slow you
- 00:17:23should not feel tired you should not
- 00:17:25feel overly exhausted you should not be
- 00:17:26throwing up your heart you should not be
- 00:17:28out of breath when you're doing low
- 00:17:30intensity steady state cardio okay take
- 00:17:32it at your own pace something I've also
- 00:17:33been doing with cardio because as you
- 00:17:35know it can get pretty boring is that
- 00:17:37I've been playing around different
- 00:17:38machines okay I used to be a stair
- 00:17:40Master [Β __Β ] nasty girl for it I actually
- 00:17:42with cycling I do I get on that little
- 00:17:44cycle bike and it used to hurt my crotch
- 00:17:46my my Cooter It really used to hurt it
- 00:17:48but now my my my pelvis is is very um
- 00:17:51normalized to it so it no longer hurts
- 00:17:52it's fun to kind of mix up the cardio
- 00:17:54because it's not as boring and then you
- 00:17:56get to try to get better at something
- 00:17:57that you've never been good at before I
- 00:17:59used to just go slow as on the bike and
- 00:18:01just sit on my phone but now I see
- 00:18:02myself you know going in and out and and
- 00:18:04doing stuff and I don't be surprised if
- 00:18:06you see me get a bike for home okay so
- 00:18:08let me give you the tea about what's
- 00:18:09going on with my training split right
- 00:18:10now the goal has been to work out 6 days
- 00:18:12a week and there was a point when I was
- 00:18:14working out 6 days a week but I'm not
- 00:18:16even going to lie I have not been able
- 00:18:17to be consistent with that since the
- 00:18:19summer and that is just per se like that
- 00:18:21that's more so with just like how
- 00:18:23scheduling has gone with everything I
- 00:18:24for a fact get 4 days done a week I try
- 00:18:27my best to get the day done and
- 00:18:29sometimes I try my best to get the sixth
- 00:18:31day done but it just depends on the week
- 00:18:32whether or not I'm able to get to the
- 00:18:33gym that many days in a week so the
- 00:18:35first thing that I've trained and I know
- 00:18:36you guys have probably noticed is my
- 00:18:39upper body I no longer have the desire
- 00:18:42to have a super big built upper body I
- 00:18:46used to really want that in the past
- 00:18:48like I used to you guys know like I used
- 00:18:49to be benching like 175 she was a strong
- 00:18:52girl um you know 45 lb shoulder presses
- 00:18:55like I I really enjoyed that at that
- 00:18:57time and I enjoyed having those muscles
- 00:18:59and and and everything like that but
- 00:19:01I've have come to realize you know that
- 00:19:02I no longer enjoy that build and maybe
- 00:19:05is society slightly pressuring me
- 00:19:07probably okay I'm easily influence but
- 00:19:09also I have been really enjoying getting
- 00:19:12more into my Womanhood and feeling as
- 00:19:14beautiful and feeling as feminine as
- 00:19:16possible and I realized that I had
- 00:19:18started to get to a point where I wasn't
- 00:19:20really feeling feminine in my body and
- 00:19:22again it's not your guys's opinion it's
- 00:19:24my opinion of myself right but I'm sure
- 00:19:26a lot of you can understand where I'm
- 00:19:27coming from or how that that feels I
- 00:19:29adjusted my training right train how you
- 00:19:31want to look so if you don't want big
- 00:19:33muscles up top if you don't want a fat
- 00:19:35weird but do thr don't train that way so
- 00:19:37I do still train upper body two times a
- 00:19:39week okay but here's the gag I do my
- 00:19:42cardio before my workout and I
- 00:19:46constantly switch up the workouts and
- 00:19:47the reason for that is one I just don't
- 00:19:49enjoy upper body days anymore so what I
- 00:19:52like to do is one make sure I get the
- 00:19:53cardio out the way not only is it out
- 00:19:55the way but I do get to pref fatigue my
- 00:19:57muscles so that it makes it more
- 00:19:58difficult to progressively overload if
- 00:20:00you don't know what Progressive overload
- 00:20:01is it's pretty much just the process of
- 00:20:02building muscle in order to build muscle
- 00:20:05you need to progress you need to give
- 00:20:06your muscles a reason to change I don't
- 00:20:08want to give it a reason to change I
- 00:20:09want to prefatigue them with cardio and
- 00:20:12and use up all the carbs so that I can't
- 00:20:13train as hard on the upper body days and
- 00:20:15I want to mix the workouts up because
- 00:20:17one I want to do something that's fun
- 00:20:18and entertaining but also I don't want
- 00:20:20to progress so that is strategically how
- 00:20:23I've been able to um decrease the size
- 00:20:26and appearance of my upper body muscles
- 00:20:28the second is how I train my L buddy
- 00:20:31okay how I'm still maintaining the
- 00:20:33glutes in the legs right so recently I
- 00:20:35went on a gym date uh and by recent I
- 00:20:37mean like 2 months ago I went on a gym
- 00:20:39date and it was like good it was a
- 00:20:42really good gym date and I actually
- 00:20:44gained some insight and I stole this
- 00:20:46from him I stole this now I used to do
- 00:20:49way more sets and I only did it that way
- 00:20:51because that is the style training that
- 00:20:53I'm used to that is what worked for me
- 00:20:55in the past um that is what I see my
- 00:20:56peers consistently do and I I never
- 00:20:58really had too much of an issue with it
- 00:21:00but my leg days were getting boring as I
- 00:21:02mean like I was really struggling to
- 00:21:05progress and really push myself and it
- 00:21:07felt like I was just going through the
- 00:21:08motions which I know a lot of you guys
- 00:21:10still do and I'm I will keep harping on
- 00:21:12this you really need to challenge
- 00:21:14yourself ask yourself are you pushing
- 00:21:16yourself hard enough when you're doing
- 00:21:17your movements CU if if the answer was
- 00:21:18no you've wasted that set my eyes have
- 00:21:20been open to low volume high intensity
- 00:21:22style training so I will do maybe two
- 00:21:24working sets hardest heaviest give it my
- 00:21:28all
- 00:21:29okay and I mean like I need like 3 to 5
- 00:21:30minutes of rest versus me doing like
- 00:21:32four sets or five sets of one exercise
- 00:21:35at like you know a certain rep range
- 00:21:37like I have enjoyed my training a lot
- 00:21:40more with lower volume higher intensity
- 00:21:42style training than I have when I was
- 00:21:44doing higher volume lower intensity and
- 00:21:46I do truly feel like I'm going to see
- 00:21:48some crazy results this is something
- 00:21:49that I've recently implemented but it
- 00:21:50has sparked my love for training again
- 00:21:53and and for leg day because I really do
- 00:21:54feel like I'm working out hard as I will
- 00:21:56give you guys an update you know in mon
- 00:21:58see how that goes but yeah she's my girl
- 00:22:01plus it's really nice because like I'm
- 00:22:02only in the gym like when I'm like
- 00:22:04training legs I used to be in the gym
- 00:22:05for like 2 plus hours but now I'm only
- 00:22:07in the gym for like an hour hour 30 hour
- 00:22:1020 depending on like adding the core and
- 00:22:12cardio at the end but it's nice like
- 00:22:14being able to get in and out feel like
- 00:22:15I've gotten a good workout in a good
- 00:22:16sweat in a good pump and I don't feel
- 00:22:19overly exhausted at the end because I've
- 00:22:22just been doing too much which then when
- 00:22:24you're over exhausted and you're
- 00:22:25overtraining then you know that can lead
- 00:22:27to injuries and
- 00:22:29um you know inconsistency in getting to
- 00:22:31the gym this is like such a long video I
- 00:22:33just had to take a whole break my mouth
- 00:22:34is dry I hope you guys are liking it
- 00:22:36though let me know if I'm like rambling
- 00:22:38too much okay now the biggest changes
- 00:22:40that I've probably made are with my you
- 00:22:42know they're all big sorry but like one
- 00:22:43of the other changes that I made this
- 00:22:45with my nutrition okay I want to give
- 00:22:46you the tea because I feel like a lot of
- 00:22:49you guys need to hear this so because
- 00:22:51I've decided that I no longer want to
- 00:22:52bulk right that doesn't necessarily mean
- 00:22:54that I want to be crazy lean all the
- 00:22:55time either so with that that means that
- 00:22:58with my calorie intake I'm either in a
- 00:23:00state of Maintenance or I'm in a state
- 00:23:02of a deficit now how do I decide whether
- 00:23:04or not I'm doing a maintenance calories
- 00:23:06or deficit calories depends on if I have
- 00:23:08a trip coming up I literally face it off
- 00:23:10of that if I don't have a trip coming up
- 00:23:11I stay in my maintenance calories I keep
- 00:23:13my protein highest and I train as normal
- 00:23:15right because there's nothing that I
- 00:23:16want to look a little leaner for where
- 00:23:19I'm at right now I'm just in maintenance
- 00:23:20uh not for long though going into a
- 00:23:21deficit this week actually because I
- 00:23:23have a trip coming up I'm going to Dr do
- 00:23:24you guys want to Vlog of that let me
- 00:23:25know in the comments okay so what I'll
- 00:23:27usually do is like AI cut when I have
- 00:23:29something coming up which is just you
- 00:23:31know me decreasing my calories by maybe
- 00:23:33250 to 500 for like an entire month
- 00:23:36until the event and then after the event
- 00:23:38I bring my calories back up to
- 00:23:39maintenance and so I ride that line
- 00:23:41between maintenance and deficit a lot of
- 00:23:43you guys are staying in your deficit
- 00:23:45calories for too long because you're
- 00:23:46trying to lose weight but that is
- 00:23:47actually not how that works okay you can
- 00:23:50only be in a deficit in a healthy space
- 00:23:52for but so long if you have been in a
- 00:23:55deficit for longer than 3 months I
- 00:23:57highly highly highly recommend that you
- 00:23:59go back into maintenance for at least a
- 00:24:00month the reason for that is that if you
- 00:24:02were constantly in a deficit you will
- 00:24:05constantly be lowering the intake
- 00:24:07required to see results let's say my
- 00:24:09deficit calories are 1,800 and I'm
- 00:24:12eating 1,800 for 3 months and I'm seeing
- 00:24:14great results oh my God like getting
- 00:24:16compliments here getting compliments
- 00:24:17there feeling real thin feeling real
- 00:24:18skinny okay but then I stopped seeing
- 00:24:20results and I'm like well I'm eating
- 00:24:211,800 calories like what the is the
- 00:24:23problem the problem is is that now your
- 00:24:24body has got adjusted to those calories
- 00:24:26and you now have to eat less than that
- 00:24:27to get the same style of results and so
- 00:24:29you go through this cycle where you're
- 00:24:31eating less and you're eating less and
- 00:24:32you're eating less and less to see the
- 00:24:34results that you want to see and it ends
- 00:24:35up getting to a point where it's no
- 00:24:37longer sustainable that is the reason
- 00:24:39why you need to go back up to your
- 00:24:40maintenance calories you go back up to
- 00:24:42maintenance you chill out you hang out
- 00:24:43there for a month or two or however long
- 00:24:45that you want to hang out there for that
- 00:24:47way you don't consistently lower your
- 00:24:49deficit calories because it'll only make
- 00:24:51the journey a lot harder when you are
- 00:24:52trying to lose that weight that was my
- 00:24:54TED Talk hope that made sense this isn't
- 00:24:56new but another thing that I have and I
- 00:24:58always say this is protein my body looks
- 00:25:00the best not only when I am eating a
- 00:25:03proper amount of calories filled with
- 00:25:05nutritious foods but I'm also getting my
- 00:25:07protein in it is not enough to be in a
- 00:25:10deficit if you're not eating the protein
- 00:25:12right a lot of you guys want to have
- 00:25:14this thin nice toned muscular look then
- 00:25:17you're unwilling to get your protein in
- 00:25:19and you wonder why you're looking flat
- 00:25:21even where I'm at right now like I just
- 00:25:23the past week you know Thanksgiving all
- 00:25:24the other stuff my look kind of flat
- 00:25:26right now she's not giving volume and I
- 00:25:28I know the reason for that is that I
- 00:25:29have not been consistent with my protein
- 00:25:31intake but I know that the fatest that's
- 00:25:34when you know I've been eating I've been
- 00:25:35eating my protein so you know here's a
- 00:25:38sign get it in now something that has
- 00:25:40helped me get more protein in throughout
- 00:25:41this entire year is finding low volume
- 00:25:44high protein foods that I actually like
- 00:25:48I am willing to invest more in my
- 00:25:50groceries than I was before and that is
- 00:25:52because I have a completely different
- 00:25:53mindset towards it if I actually buy
- 00:25:55foods that I enjoy that I like that are
- 00:25:58nutritious they're higher in protein
- 00:25:59they make me feel good and even though
- 00:26:01they might be a little bit more money I
- 00:26:03save way more money in the future
- 00:26:05because I stopped going out to eat as
- 00:26:07much because I actually enjoy the foods
- 00:26:08that I'm eating but also I'm able to
- 00:26:10stay more consistent with it I'm able to
- 00:26:11stay more consistent with foods that I
- 00:26:13like so I'm going to show you guys a
- 00:26:14couple of things that I've recently been
- 00:26:15implementing that I really with that
- 00:26:17don't make you feel like you're shoving
- 00:26:18a whole chicken breast down your throat
- 00:26:20protein pasta this tastes like regular
- 00:26:22pasta the chickpea one doesn't taste
- 00:26:23like regular pasta I don't like it one
- 00:26:25serving is between like 10 and 17 G of
- 00:26:28PR protein like imagine you doing like a
- 00:26:30high protein turkey meat sauce pasta
- 00:26:33it's an easy way to add more protein
- 00:26:35into your diet and you're like oh like I
- 00:26:36don't even feel like I'm eating more
- 00:26:37protein cuz if it wasn't that then it
- 00:26:38would have been regular noodles or pasta
- 00:26:41slate milk if you're watching endorse me
- 00:26:44this is the vanilla latte high protein
- 00:26:46iced coffee now if you're someone that
- 00:26:48likes like coffee in the morning which
- 00:26:50I've like never been that person but
- 00:26:51like this is 20 gr of protein for 100
- 00:26:54calories isn't that insane it's just a
- 00:26:56drink I add I have it with breakfast now
- 00:26:58you have like a 60 g of protein
- 00:27:00breakfast that you didn't even realize
- 00:27:02these fillers drinkable yogurt my friend
- 00:27:04Lana put me on to these this is a tree
- 00:27:06Cod 100 calories 20 gr of protein you're
- 00:27:09drinking a protein smoothie I put a
- 00:27:10little Splendid packet in that I don't
- 00:27:12care if it causes cancer with rats that
- 00:27:14is a problem for future Tilla that I I
- 00:27:16and when I look back at this video
- 00:27:18that's a problem for future te but just
- 00:27:19an easy way me including these two
- 00:27:21drinks is an extra 40 g of protein and
- 00:27:24one serving of protein pasta that's 50 g
- 00:27:27of protein and I'm not eating meat oh
- 00:27:29something else built bars you guys
- 00:27:31already know how I feel about built bars
- 00:27:32it tastes like a chocolate covered
- 00:27:34marshmallow I love it the cookies and
- 00:27:35cream flavor is fantastic I actually
- 00:27:37just already ate the last one but I
- 00:27:38ordered new ones they should be here
- 00:27:39this week but 17 gram of protein 150
- 00:27:42calories those are things and foods that
- 00:27:44I genuinely enjoy that make it very easy
- 00:27:45for me to hit my protein goal and so get
- 00:27:47out of this mindset isn't oh I don't
- 00:27:49want to spend this much money on food or
- 00:27:50on groceries or this is and that because
- 00:27:52if you're not spending it on your health
- 00:27:54you're spending it on something else
- 00:27:55that is not contributing positively to
- 00:27:57you it is a mindset thing yes I spend a
- 00:28:00little extra on groceries but my body
- 00:28:02looks amazing and I love myself and I'm
- 00:28:03not eating Chipotle and Chick-fil-A as
- 00:28:06much as I used to I think that all the
- 00:28:07information that I have given you has
- 00:28:09been very valuable but I would say that
- 00:28:12what I'm about to tell you is the most
- 00:28:14valuable lesson that I have learned this
- 00:28:17year and that is about cheat meals this
- 00:28:19is tea get your pen and paper out so me
- 00:28:21and my friend Alana were just recently
- 00:28:23talking about this because one of the
- 00:28:25reasons why I will never compete in this
- 00:28:27life is because of how much much I enjoy
- 00:28:28food there was a point in time when I
- 00:28:30was like heavily convinced to do it at
- 00:28:31one point because it would be cool to
- 00:28:33see myself at that space But I also
- 00:28:35enjoy life not that I'm saying people
- 00:28:37who compete don't enjoy life it seems a
- 00:28:38little miserable from the outside
- 00:28:39looking on and I don't want to deal with
- 00:28:41that so when it comes to not
- 00:28:43specifically eating my meal prep one the
- 00:28:45most important thing is that it needs to
- 00:28:46be planned every Thursday I go to the
- 00:28:48movies I don't want my meal prep when
- 00:28:50I'm at the movies I don't want that okay
- 00:28:52I already know sometimes I feel like
- 00:28:53having popcorn sometimes I feel like
- 00:28:54having the Cheesecake Factory right but
- 00:28:56you need to be strategic with how you're
- 00:28:58doing your cheat meals typically I'm
- 00:28:59always like carb heavy like I want to
- 00:29:01have the carbs and stuff like that but
- 00:29:03now I'm like throughout the day I try to
- 00:29:05prioritize eating as much as my protein
- 00:29:08as possible maybe cutting out the carbs
- 00:29:10like maybe not having the rice with my
- 00:29:12lunch or maybe cutting out the the fruit
- 00:29:14that I'm having in the morning with
- 00:29:15breakfast and reducing my carb intake as
- 00:29:17much as possible that way when it gets
- 00:29:19to the end of the night or whatever time
- 00:29:21of day that I'm choosing to have this
- 00:29:22cheat meal not only have I gotten in a
- 00:29:24lot of protein and I've probably
- 00:29:25decreased my calories throughout the day
- 00:29:27but I've now left a lot of room to
- 00:29:29really fully indulge and enjoy the foods
- 00:29:32that I'm choosing to have on my cheat
- 00:29:33meal first thing focus on eating protein
- 00:29:35throughout the day protein protein
- 00:29:36protein protein carbs second thing you
- 00:29:38can fully indulge in the meal that you
- 00:29:40choose but just make sure that one it
- 00:29:42has a source of protein in it you eat
- 00:29:43that first and then you eat the carbs
- 00:29:45that are with it high protein throughout
- 00:29:46the day and then eat the protein Source
- 00:29:48first with your cheat meal and then eat
- 00:29:51the carbs and you don't have to finish
- 00:29:52your food you know and finally I know
- 00:29:54this video was long as I'm sorry finally
- 00:29:57the the thing that I I I do want to say
- 00:29:59is that it is so important to take
- 00:30:00pictures of your physique it is so
- 00:30:02important to check the scale every now
- 00:30:04and then check your measurements um
- 00:30:05because that is data right and data
- 00:30:08allows you to understand how you're
- 00:30:10doing and sometimes it is scary and I
- 00:30:13know that I've been someone that doesn't
- 00:30:14want to check the scale when I've had a
- 00:30:15bad week or I don't want to take
- 00:30:17pictures or or any of that stuff when
- 00:30:18I'm not feeling my best but when you get
- 00:30:20to look back on those photos and see
- 00:30:22just how far you've come when you feel
- 00:30:23like you haven't come that far it is an
- 00:30:25amazing feeling because like I said
- 00:30:27earlier I did not like until I saw my
- 00:30:29before and after pictures over a year I
- 00:30:31never thought that I even made nearly as
- 00:30:33much progress as I've made especially
- 00:30:35being this late in the game my fitness
- 00:30:37journey because I am almost out about
- 00:30:39year seven the more knowledge you have
- 00:30:41the more data you have the more you're
- 00:30:42able to learn in this experience and
- 00:30:44really get to listen to your body and I
- 00:30:47think that that is the best talent that
- 00:30:48anyone can have when it comes to a
- 00:30:50fitness journey is being able to listen
- 00:30:52to their body and really make the
- 00:30:53necessary adjustments and changes that
- 00:30:55are required to have and honestly
- 00:30:57sometimes it's not easy right I have
- 00:30:59something that you guys don't have you
- 00:31:00know or not all of you guys but I have
- 00:31:02something that some of you guys don't
- 00:31:03have right I have a certification from
- 00:31:05the National Academy of sports medicine
- 00:31:06and I have you know a bachelor's degree
- 00:31:09in kinesiology which is just the
- 00:31:10exercise science of Majors but I also
- 00:31:13have time and I would say out of
- 00:31:15everything that I've gained and all the
- 00:31:16knowledge that I've gained that time has
- 00:31:18been the most valuable one if you were
- 00:31:20someone that needs more help in this
- 00:31:21space I do offer oneon-one training I
- 00:31:23think it would be beautiful for us to
- 00:31:25kind of be able to get a Kickstart
- 00:31:26before everyone else before for my New
- 00:31:28Year resolutionary people get in um that
- 00:31:31way we can kind of be a little bit more
- 00:31:32established but I'm here to support you
- 00:31:35I'm here to educate you because I want
- 00:31:37you to win and I know it's hard to be
- 00:31:38vulnerable with yourself and with others
- 00:31:40about it but I want you to know that I'm
- 00:31:41here for you as a resource so I'm going
- 00:31:44to go ahead and put the application in

- 00:32:05that especially like being in your 20s
- 00:32:07being your 30s you know being in

- 00:32:13I've learned and maybe make you feel a
- 00:32:14little bit more comfortable in
