Let me just say something in regards to this post. I did a 9/11 class on Friday at my crossfit facility and I wore baggy pants and a baggy shirt. So when my pictures went up that day, I looked FAT in one of them because of my baggy clothes, when in reality I am very fit & toned. Big thighs but toned and firm flat belly. Then the next morning (Saturday) I went to crossfit wearing lesser clothes, a red tank top and black crossfit shorts, people could tell right away I really was in shape! Also on Saturday morning my crossfit trainer posted a picture of me and my classmates after we finished and again PROOF on the public crossfit page that I am INDEED not FAT. So it just goes to show that sometimes when we wear baggy clothes, we can look over-weight when in reality we are not. I eat right, train hard and I’m very toned. People need to really stop being so judgmental of others, it makes you look really insecure. I used to be over-weight years ago and there are times I lose a lot of weight and get so very skinny, which happens often while I’m traveling on the road. My ribs start to show and people start telling me to eat more.

When I get home I start to eat a little more protein so I don’t look sickly. It’s better to have shape, like a nice booty, toned thighs and stomach. Women are paying ridiculous amounts of money to get fake butt implants when all they have to do is do a lot of squats. All it takes to be in shape and toned is eat healthy, have a cheat day (don’t over- do it), go to the gym, motivate yourself and definitely love yourself. That is the most important thing is to love yourself enough to lose the weight and want to eat healthy. Your weight is mostly defined by what you eat, it’s wise to have a healthy balance of eating clean and working out 4-5 times a week. Remember a cheat day is healthy and keeps you balanced, just don’t go on a binge of over-eating. When your brain says it’s satisfied with the amount of food you just ate, stop ingesting. I don’t ever eat until I’m full. If you are eating until you are full and your belly feels uncomfortable, that means you over ate which isn’t good. Always eat until you are satisfied. Balance is key!

Have a good day all. Namaste 🙂
