it's not so important how you look, it's more about how you feel, you have to start believing that you see yourself regardless of how you think you really look, it's just your perspective and you can change it.
having low self-esteem and not valuing yourself enough makes you perceive yourself as worse than you really are. you will see flaws in yourself that are insignificant or don't exist.
it is also important to take care of our physical appearance, but if you don't feel beautiful internally, no matter how many changes you make on the outside, you will never feel beautiful at all.
start feeling the way you think you would feel if you were that ideal version of you and change will happen.
Never underestimate the power of self care and self love. It might sound like a trivial slogan, but it’s the old truth.
•Find time for things you love
•Stop eating junk and processed foods
•Have a regular sleeping schedule and try to have 7.5-9 hours of sleep every day (individual needs for sleep vary from person to person)
•Think about things that make you proud of yourself and don’t torment yourself with stuff you cannot change.
•No matter how much you love your family- find a bit of time just for yourself - they’ll appreciate you more if you’re mentally rested and in a good mood
•Decompress after work- don’t jump into chores the moment you come back home- give yourself 15-20 minutes to rest
•Drink 2.5-3 litres of water a day. If you drink a glass of water every hour for 12 hours of your day it will nicely add up without you peeing like crazy;)
•Use broad spectrum sunscreen no matter what the weather is like and even during winter to keep youthful look and prevent age/liver/sun spots

One of the best hack ai have is to pre measure and prep all your protein shake stuff.
I'm way more likely to actually make my breakfast shake if I pull out all the containers and measure them out all at once. In the morning I just throw in oat milk, fruit and spinach and I'm good to go.

I might have missed the northern lights to go to sleep early but I got the rest I needed :)
Today was surprisingly optimistic: I'm still feeling insecure about my body but everything that I did today was in line with the person that I want to be. I began the day by reading in bed: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance used to be my favourite book but I forgot why so this reread is very much worth the taunting glare of my to-be-read bookshelf. Still in my jammies, I prepared my Complex Analysis tutoring and found an error in my student's lecture notes: a theorem had missed out an assumption and therefore it was quite easy to find a contradiction between this and another theorem. This provided a good way to make my student aware of the intricacies of the theorems and to make him feel like a smart cookie.
Finally, I replaced my winter clothes with my summer clothes on my easy-access rail. During this, I tried on some jeans and had to come to terms with the corporal implications of my recovery but I was able to pass it off surprisingly easy - go me! In fact, I was going to have a day off after yesterday's glute and ab day, but I felt empowered my the sunshine and decided to train back and biceps at the gym while I was donating my jeans to the charity shop. I began with a run to Rise Against (I had forgotten how invigorating Saviour is) and then pushed myself so hard that I just ended up laughing when I finished my sets, I felt cute in my floral skirt afterwards, knowing that I'd been powerful just minutes prior.
I then had lunch and my tutoring session. The student has been so diligent and I hope that it pays off for him. He also has a great sense of humour so the sessions are a lot of fun and I can see that tutoring is what I want to do long term.
Before the storm, I was sure to give Lottie her much-deserved walkies and then to cook with my mum. She wanted something different tonight (since her high-protein, low-carb, egg-free, vegetarian diet can lead to repetitive mealtimes) and I was able to provide!
Breakfast: Peach, apricot, and blueberries with greek yoghurt. Topped with my make-shift granola made from toasting oats, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
Snack: Vanilla iced latte and a dinky protein bar.
Lunch: Cauliflower, sweet potato, and Quorn scramble with parsley.
Dinner: Oomph fajita pieces with veggies and Korean-style grains.
What is protein & Why do you need it in your diet?
When it comes to becoming a Fit Girl, adding protein to your diet is essential. 🍳 Protein helps keep you feeling full for longer, which can help you resist unhealthy snacks or overeating. Protein also helps you build muscle and keeps your energy levels up during workouts.
Protein is an important nutrient that helps our bodies function at their best. It’s in every cell of our body and helps build and repair muscles, bones, skin, hair👱♀️, and other tissues.
It also helps produce hormones and enzymes that regulate how we process food and the energy we get from it.
Protein is especially important for young women who want to become or stay fit. Fitness goals like building muscle💪🏽, losing fat, gaining endurance, and maintaining a healthy weight require an adequate protein intake. You will see results much quicker that way.
It’s important to get enough—but not too much—protein in your diet. Eating large amounts of high-protein foods can lead to health issues over time, such as digestion problems.
How much protein to take then? It's the million dollar question💸 in fitness and health circles. Personally, I have found that 0.8–1g of protein per kilogram of body weight each day works for me. I see results from exercise and nutrition, and my digestion is fine. However, many sources recommend 0.8–1g per lbs of body weight per day or even more.
Because recommendations vary wildly (many scientific studies recommending a higher intake are funded by or connected to protein supplement manufacturers), I suggest tracking your protein intake for a few weeks and checking if you are seeing your desired results.✔️ If not, try upping your protein intake.
Eating a variety of high-quality proteins, like lean poultry🍗 and fish, eggs🥚, beans, nuts, legumes and dairy products can help you get the right amount of protein. If you’re having trouble reaching your goals with food alone, consider adding a protein supplement🥛 to your diet. These are available for vegetarians and vegans too.
By incorporating the right amount of protein into your diet, you can reach your fitness goals and stay healthy at the same time✨. So don’t forget about this important nutrient when you’re planning your fit girl meals and snacks. Your body will thank you.
