Your advice to others who want to change their life?
My best tips for anyone wanting to lose weight and get in shape is to
change your mindset first. Whenever you want to start a journey like
this one, it starts in your mind first. Your mind and attitude must
change. Then everything else will follow. Make sure you surround
yourself with people that will hold you accountable. And another thing
that helps is schedule workouts like it’s a part of your regular
schedule just as if you were going to work. It will help you stay
focused and committed.
