So I will be photo shooting next week and this is my final week of cutting, shredding, dieting….whatever you want to call it haha! I am NOT looking to come in super tight, striated, or super shredded. I was looking to lose 5-8 pounds or so and mission accomplished already. I am pretty much already looking exactly the way I want to look like for the shoot so stay tuned for my photos next week. For the record I lost 6 pounds. I may lose an additional couple pounds but I am totally happy with these results. I mostly just tried to make sure I was eating 40% protein daily and I did drop my calories a little and up my cardio. That was the most important aspects of this cut. Keep in mind I also try to lose weight so I can allow for gaining some back while on trip. That way I can still look and feel good but also indulge some. I do not think I was at a bad place before I started this cut but I wanted to be leaner for this trip.
Once again I share this process so people can see that you don’t have to be restrictive to lose weight. You can cut or diet in a lot of different ways and it doesn’t have to be shakes or pills or super bland food. In fact being balanced & eating a variety of foods is the best way to do it. The most important thing is to be mindful of what you are eating, measure out portions, and move more! I have tried out lots of different dieting approaches and I can say from my experience they all work if you actually follow through ☺️
So here is a general idea of what I am eating this week
Meal One: egg whites scrambled in nonstick spray with spinach served inside a high fiber pita pocket with a little low sugar ketchup plus 2 slices of uncured bacon and coffee with a little cream & stevia
Meal Two: Puffed kamut cereal with cinnamon & topped with cashew milk with a little protein powder blended into it
Meal Three: Cookies & Milk-kinda haha! (4 mint slim cookies with a protein shake mixed with cashew milk-BTW if you love mint Girl Scout cookies you MUST try these cookies by Goodie Girl-so good and great nutritional stats!!)
Meal Four: egg whites with low sugar ketchup & 2 slices light/thin sliced bread and sugar free jam
Meal Five: Giant Caesar salad using romaine, spinach, and spring mix with grilled chicken, Parmesan, & low calorie dressing plus side of fresh strawberries and raspberries
Meal Six: Apple with cinnamon, turkey pepperoni (Applegate Farms has a great version that is uncured and nitrate free), and baby carrots
So there you have it! Certainly not depriving myself lol! I will post more when I return as far as what I did exercise wise. I meant to do it earlier but I forgot. I have notes on everything I did though. I like to track my fitness so I can see where I am and what works so I will post an example of my exercise routine when I return, If you follow me on social media I will be posting photos from my trip and of the beautiful bikinis from Mio Bikini I will be modeling. Thanks for reading! 💗💗💗
