I’m so excited to dive into today’s Fit Girl Magic episode with you. I’m talking all about taking action in your diet and exercise. You’ve probably heard it before 80% of your success comes from what you eat, and only 20% from your workouts. Yep, nutrition is where it’s at! Strength training is my love language, not just for building strength but for making daily activities easier and boosting your metabolic flexibility. I’ll be sharing some practical tips on adjusting your diet, like tracking your protein and veggie intake, and celebrating those small yet meaningful wins. I'll also get real about my own fitness journey, discussing why it’s so important to give yourself grace and avoid the pitfalls of rigid dieting. You’ll hear stories from clients who’ve struggled with weight loss and how mastering the basics often leads to lasting change, rather than jumping on the latest diet trend.
