Losing half a stone, and losing weight in general, is by no means easy, especially when you're a busy mam juggling work, family, and your own well-being.
But with the right mindset and approach, it's possible to achieve your weight loss goals without sacrificing your daily responsibilities.
That's what Grace discovered when she lost close to half a stone in just one month while still taking care of her family and work.
Grace's story is inspiring because it shows that with dedication and a personalized plan, anyone can lose weight and improve their relationship with food and exercise. She reached out to me a little over a month ago to discuss her goals, along with the things she wanted to learn about and work on, and we worked together to create a plan that worked for her busy schedule and lifestyle.
Our plan consisted of four key elements: psycho-education, exercise, protein, and hydration.
1. Psycho-education
After Grace's signed up for my 12-Week Mind-Body Challenge, she scheduled her prep call and on it we began to work on the mindset side of things. We explored and gained clarity on her motives behind making a change, which in turn helped increase her motivation levels. Each week thereafter, we worked on psycho-education and coaching; Grace learned a number of psychological techniques that helped her manage stress, and cultivate a can-do attitude in relation to exercise and nutrition, all the while helping her improve her relationship with both.
2. Exercise
We also started with semi-private online PT sessions each week, where Grace learned how to exercise properly and build a solid foundation. As she progressed, we increased the intensity and frequency of her workouts to keep challenging her body and help her burn more calories. Not only did her sessions help her lose the weight she lost, but they also helped boost her energy and focus throughout the day after each session.
3. Protein
We also made sure Grace was getting enough protein each day. Protein is essential for building and repairing muscle tissue, which is crucial for weight loss. Not only that, the higher the protein intake, the more satiated you will be, which means the less you will consume foods that are high calorie but not too filling. We incorporated lean proteins like chicken, turkey, fish, and eggs into her meals to help her stay full and satisfied.
4. Hydration
Finally, we made sure Grace was drinking enough water each day. Staying hydrated is essential for regulating the body's metabolism, aiding digestion, and reducing hunger and cravings. By drinking 1.5 to 2L of water each day, Grace felt more energized and focused throughout the day.
The results were impressive, as the photo above shows. At the end of the first month, Grace had lost 6 lbs and 46 cm. But the best part was that she felt more confident and had developed a healthier relationship with food and exercise. She had learned to listen to her body, make healthier choices, and incorporate exercise into her daily routine.
If you're a busy mam looking to lose weight and improve your mind, mood and overall life, take inspiration from Grace's story. Start small by drinking more water, adding more protein to your meals, and incorporating exercise into your daily routine. Consistency here is key, and with the right mindset and approach, you too can achieve your weight loss goals and become the best version of yourself.
