    • Consistency is key | My Fitness Journey

      Posted at 11:09 am by Kelli, on July 15, 2020

      I am extremely proud of myself. I have been consistent with working out these past few months. I have been working out at least three days a week – usually more.

      What usually happens is I will go to the gym for about a month, but then I lose motivation to keep going. It’s crazy what kind of excuses I could come up with. This would especially happen if I didn’t have someone to go with me to keep me held accountable.

      I am proud to say that this is not the case now. These past few months I have been going to the gym regularly. More often than not, I have even been going to the gym alone. I actually love going to the gym by myself now. I feel more focused. (Still love it when you go though, Tawnie).

      This time around, I have focused on doing more strength workouts than anything else. I have noticed I have gained some muscle in the past few months.

      My routine at the gym is 10-20 minutes of the elliptical to warm up then I do arms, legs, abs, and shoulders. I try to do some of each, although I typically try to focus more on one each day. I do less legs than the other ones because I have knee problems so those have to be done a little at a time. There are also days I sometimes just focus on cardio.

      Above is a comparison photo from February 3rd to July 15th of this year. I am happy to notice that there is a physical chance in the photos. As you can see my arms and stomach are a little more defined. I have also noticed a difference in my back and butt too.

      One thing I have been struggling with is food intake. I know I am not getting enough or the right macros, but I am trying to change that. Starting today I am going to be tracking my macro intake via the app “Mike’s Macros,” which was recommended by bodybyryanfitness on Instagram.

      I am going to try to plan my meals more accordingly in order to get enough protein and other things that I need. I am still trying to figure everything out.

      I will try to come back with an update in a few weeks. Remember, consistency is key.

      Do you have any advice for me on my food intake, or even advice for muscle gain?
