they tried, what are they doing now? I’m a visual person so I show
people how I plan out my meals. I show them how I break down
everything from my meats to my snacks and portion sizes. I measure
everything. So instead of buying the family size bag of barbecue
chips I’ll buy a small bag and I’ll break it up into halves.
As far as my lifestyle change, my family is now very accepting of the
changes that I’ve made because of seeing how it benefits me. They
also have made changes because of me.
What’s next for me is losing the remainder of the weight and getting
down
to a healthy size while also building muscle. I would like to tone up
and
become more fit than I am now. I enjoy lifting weights more so then
cardio
although cardio can be fun and it is essential. For me lifting weights is
more about inner strength. I actually work out 5 to 6 days a week for
an hour and a half. I eat 6 to 7 times a day I have three small meals
and then I have snacks. I drink at least 65% of my weight in water I
take a multivitamin plus vitamin C,vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E. I
also juice and blend my fruits and vegetables with the Visalus
Nutritional System or shakes and I eat their Vi-Crunch cereal with fruit
& nuts with almond or coconut milk. I became a promoter of the
system because I saw results and others were passionate like me.
I’ve help even more people in becoming passionate about health. I
eat organically, I don’t eat processed food. I eat gluten free, and I love
it. I always post and share my meals because I am proud of the
lifestyle I’m living. I learn something new and nutritional every day. I
learn something new about myself eve
