You guys...it has officially been one year since I began my fitness journey! I have struggled with staying consistent with working out and eating right for years and I feel as though that's only because I never knew what the heck I was doing. As of today, I have lost 31lbs, 3.2% body fat and have dropped from a size 8 to a size 4. I have also gained a hell of a lot of strength and I'm very proud of myself for that. *pats self on back*
This healthy/fitness lifestyle has drastically changed my life for the better. I have gained confidence I never thought I'd have; I feel freaking amazing to be honest. Not only do I have more energy than ever before, but I'm much happier.

Progress happens over time, not over night.
Throughout this past year I learned about flexible dieting also known as "If It Fits Your Macros." Macronutrients (also known as macros) are essentially your carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Everybody's macros differ because they are based on your height, age, weight, activity and so on and so forth. So, as long as you hit your macros, you can eat whatever you want, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be eating your clean foods.
Ever since I changed my lifestyle, I no longer feel deprived of my guilty pleasures such as cookies, pizza, and ice cream. I feel like flexible dieting is perfect for me, but it may not be for you and thats completely okay; remember - do what works for you.
The gym has become my home away from home, my stress reliever, and my happy place. I'm constantly trying to learn more about lifting and what else I can do to improve. My advice to you when it comes to the gym is to learn compound exercises, develop a training split, and keep it interesting with new movements so you won't get bored.
Words cannot describe how happy I am with the progress I have made so far. My lifestyle has drastically changed for the better and I don't plan on stopping.
