Operation "Get Fit" commences

Anyone who follows along on my Twitter or Instagram

know that I am attempting to "Get Fit".

My best friend is a personal trainer.

She said some words that hit a little close to home for me.

"It's harder for women to get pregnant when they are over weight"

um... scuse me?

I definitely don't want to get to this point and I DEFINITELY

don't want to make things harder on myself when it comes time for Josh and I to start trying for a baby.

So what am I doing?

Working out and eating better, duh.

I've been going to the gym every other day

(stairmaster = friend)

Cardio + weights = lean muscle.

I know a lot of women are scared of weights because they don't want to bulk up.

But weights are our friends!

Low weight/high rep can help build lean muscle which helps burn fat throughout the day when we aren't working out :)

Anyways,

I've been looking through Pinterest to find some examples of what my goal is

and I figured I would share it with you all!

her legs... I die.

that back... yes please!

^^^ this butt .... I would kill for

And the quotes that run through my head when my brain tells me to quit.

My heart tells me to push through it.

Sore today = Strong tomorrow

As far as eating healthy

I'm practicing portion control.

I cut out fast food and cut wayyyyyyyyyy back on fried foods at home.

I use whole grain instead of white.

I have organic fat free milk

and my cheese is 2%.

I use leaner meats like turkey and deer meat.

I eat a lot of grilled/baked chicken.

(PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN)

egg whites are a must.

And I make sure I get things that are "no sugar added" and organic as much as possible.

Lower sodium and I don't use salt at all.

I cut out my sweets completely.

And the killer... no soda.

I drink water water water.

Also if I have to I have coffee with no sugar and fat free creamer.

I can already feel my body changing.

And I feel a lot better since I'm not eating all of that waste.

I hope this helps some of you :)

You don't have to kill yourself to look good.

Just make a few changes and see the results :)

You'll feel better if you do I promise!

Ps. Strong is the new skinny
