There are 2 MAIN THINGS that I did differently between these photos.
*pics are just under 2 years apart*
1. FOOD INTAKE
2. WORKOUT STYLE
📸 LEFT PIC — February 2020
Nutrition: barelyyy reaching 100g of protein per day, would have been lucky if I hit 80g honestly but ohh I sure stuck to those minimal calories! I believe I was making 1,500cals happen but was even scared to hit THAT *cringe*🥴.
Workouts: Beachbody programs were the name of the game: Barre, Insanity, 10 Rounds … you name it, I probably did it 6 days a week (aka HIIT up the wazoo 😵💫). I’m not saying home workouts are a no go … but if all you’re doing is cardio then peace be with you🥲✌🏽Liift4 was the one program from BB that made me realize I loved using weights… or maybe it was bc of the hott instructor Joel? I can’t remember🙃🤫
📸 RIGHT PIC — today
Nutrition: 1 week into a mini cut after being in my maintenance for a year, eating roughly 1,900cals (for👏🏽a👏🏽cut👏🏽), protein is 1g per lb of my body weight on a CONSISTENT basis… yes even on the weekends.
Workouts: lifting heavy things. Specifically, Laurie Christie King’s paragontrainingmethods newest specialized body building program that I am now in my second week with but before that, I solidly did the strength training routine from my current macro tracking app *link in bio* for a year.
If I had to pin point the 2 things that truly changed my body composition it would be PROTEIN + HEAVY LIFTING. That is just a recipe for building muscle or the term people love the most — “toning up”😌
One of my all time favorite quotes is: “The secret of your future is hidden within your daily routine.”
Does your daily routine align with YOUR goals?🤔
