My husband has been in the fitness industry now for 10 years. He has his masters degree in Sport Science and Pedagogy an Undergrad in Health and Exercise science. He has worked for two universities as a Strength and Conditioning Coach, trained professional athletes, worked in excersise rehab and cardiac rehab, and of course personal and group training. ( Let's just say he knows his stuff!)
Last year I took my fitness goals sersious as I prepared to compete in the Mrs. North Carolina pageant and in just six weeks I lost 10 lbs and 3 inches in my stomach, inch and half in each thigh and went down a whole dress size all in thanks to my awesome husband and his wealth of knowledge!
I went grain free a version of paleo where I eat no grains and only concentrate on Protein, Veggies and some dairy and fruits. Healthy living at its finest. I had never felt better in my life than I did during this time.
I placed first runner up in the pageant and for a while I still lived partially grain free and I started incorporating more and more grains back into my life and eventually I wasn't doing my part in healthy living and my diet became poor again. ( No one said this is easy!)
8 months later and I made the decision that I couldn't just eat for show anymore but for my health!
I am now living 90/10 I eat grain free 90% of the time and yes that means no bread, pasta, cereal, anything containing a grain and 10% of the time I will have just a few things I love.
JUST REMEMBER YOU LOSE WEIGHT IN THE KITCHEN AND GET FIT IN THE GYM!!!
I have never felt better and I can see my body slowly starting to change. Yes slowly is the key it will not happen overnight but I FINALLY realized this needed to be lifestyle change!!
GRAINS ARE UNNECESSARY but it doesn't mean I cant have a few things in moderation.
I also incorporate my workout regimen that my husband designed for me which is working with weights and I participate in dance fitness classes at HG Fitness in Hickory and I am now obsessed with Barre workouts!! I try to get a minimum of 3 days of workouts with the hope of 5.
I am not where I want to be yet but I know I am on the track to being very healthy and I know it doesn't happen overnight~
One of my favorite recipes is the cauliflower crust pizza which I bragged on earlier but here is a video my business partner Stetson took of me making the pizza to help you step by step.
