I have been trying to get back on the right track to a healthy lifestyle. The motivation has been very tough at times, but I have continued to push myself and tell myself that “I Can DO This!”

I am any two weeks back into the gym. The mental feeling is such a great feeling! I feel like I am more upbeat and not so sluggish! I have laid off of my beer intake ( I love porters and stouts!) but the effect of the beer really takes a tole on my physical abilities, such as fatigue and bloating. So, I have stepped into a forever love for Merlot(Red Wine) Speaking of red wine, they say a glass a day is good for the heart… Which means, I must have a VERY healthy heart.

My goal for my body:

I want to be “Lean and Mean”! Targeting all my muscle groups that I feel like I need to perfect and focus on. I have been really focusing on abs and glutes, but my favorite muscles groups are biceps, back and shoulders!

To tell you a little about last year… I started at 151lbs. To me I felt not so confident about my appearance. I know… others would say, ” Brit, you look great!”, but no matter the compliments and the positive feedback I was just not satisfied. Unfortunately, I can say that I lost a lot of weight (20lbs to be exact) in a very unhealthy way. With my job, there are a lot of hours, a lot of stress and an unhealthy diet because of how busy I was, not to mention the lack of sleep. I can remember a week where I got a total of 4hrs… It was rough.. but I still enjoyed every moment of it, for it is a dream come true to be able to do what I love everyday!

So this year I am doing it the right way! As hard is it may be at times with my schedule.

I have been doing light weights and more reps to tone. Somedays I will start doing where I SMACK MY MUSCLES and do heavy weights and less reps to break the muscle down so I can make them grow!

So from here on out, I am going on a mission to be better, be healthier and one FIT BRIT! I have to create a healthier mindset as well for myself, so I wake up each day telling myself, ” I am going to be healthy, fit, and badass!”

Thank you for all those who are supporting my every move and all that are constantly cheering me on to be better for myself!
