Lola K Gets Fit "Striving For A New Me"

Hi, this will be a pretty short but I think educational post. To be successfu in clean eating number one you have to be committed but setting yourself up for success is very important so this post is about a small component that helps me stay on my clean eating journey. There are some items I must have in my pantry, it helps to keep me on track. Spices and dried herbs are a must for me, you can get great flavor without adding a lot of salt. I know rice is a item a lot of people stsy away due to carbs, I don't eat it everyday but it's an item I won't give up, I will however substitute it for cauliflower and green beans on weeks I want to keep my carb intake as low as possible.       Pantry Essentials;                                          1. PB2                  2. Tuna          ...

Hi!!!  Last time I was here I was on my third week of my 30 Day Pescatarian I guess diet for lack of a better word. Well I like it so much I have decided to extend it, I see results and I don’t feel the need to binge eat but because of falling off so frequently in the past if I crave something I eat it and then go back to eating right. I also now limit my intake of processed foods and 98% of the time I only eat Whole Foods. I am learning you can be completely satisfied eating fish, grains and fruits and veggies. I have the eating down finally now my next goal is to be more consistent in my workouts. I have accountability in eating now I need to find it in exercising. So below I have a couple days of meals prepped and basically what I used and how I cooked each item. For seasoning I keep it the same, basil, oregano, garlic powder and chopped garlic , parsley, onion powder and chopped onion, Italian seasoning, chili powder, paprika, Himalayan pink salt and black pepper ...

                                            Lately I have let life situations get me off track, I wasn’t eating right and gained back all the weight I worked so hard at losing last year. I would try on clothes and they would fit but I didn’t feel comfortable even in clothing as simple as graphic tees which are like my everyday uniforms.  Then I decided to work out again and take before pictures and got the shock of my life.  Those pictures were a slap in the face and proved why I was miserable all the time that is when I finally decided to do something about it for good.  So on October 30th I decided to try something new, working out 3 times a week just to get my body accustomed to it and trying pescatarianism for 30 days.  This is the 3rd week and I feel great.  The first couple of days I lost 4 inches and 6 pounds and so far I am down 16 pounds...

                  Today is the last day of my personal 30 day shake challenge.                  The plan was to drink two shakes a day, one meal, two snacks and 2 mango teas a day.  Week 1 was pretty easy but by day 4 drinking two shakes, two snacks and a meal was too much for me so day 5 through day 15 I went down to one shake, one snack and 1 meal a day.  By day 15 I think my body was used to the mostly liquid diet.                Day 16 through 29 I alternated between one to two shakes depending on my hunger levels.  It was pretty challenging but I would definitely do it again.  With exercising 3 times a week I lost a total of 5 pounds, I like the idea of drinking a shake for breakfast, it is a easy solution for the mornings.                   Left, day 1. Right, day 25 ...

Hi!                      It has been forever but sometimes you need a little social media hiatus but I am back and still living a clean life.                  So Sunday I started a 30 day personal challenge, I have been going to a fit camp for a couple months and I have seen pictures of some of the women who are apart of this particular group and you can definitely see the transformations their bodies have gone through.                 I decided to try out the plan they have for weightloss which is 2 Herbalife shakes, I add my own protein just for a extra boost, 2 snacks and one healthy meal a day for weightloss, I have also been drinking the teas once or twice a day.  I have been trying to eat healthy and exercise regularly since the beginning of the year and have really been motivated to change the way I look at food.  I am...
