Hi everyone. I wanted to share and say that small changes do pay off. I began by incorporating more protein into my meals and simple movements. I then joined this community and also went ahead and calculated my BMR and began to count my macros so that I could track and get data on what my body needs at this stage of my life and make changes if needed. Well, I feel better than I have in a while. I used to wake up bloated and not hungry, food would make me nausious at times, but now inflammation has decreased and I have lost 1.5 inches from my waist. I feel more energized and am more active with my six year old; my workout time is now a non negotiable. My moods have greatly improved and I feel like myself again. All this with just consistent, simple workouts(nothing crazy) and actually eating! I am eating more than I used to, by focusing on whole foods and prioritizing protein. I'm glad to be part of this community; thank you!
