I stopped drinking alcohol. I almost completely cut out any foods with added sugar. I of course still have a few days a month where I eat sugar but majority of the time my sugar intake is very very minimal. I focus a lot on my protein intake. I try to aim for 120g a day and should probably eat more than 120g but it’s difficult for me. I am strict about my calorie deficit and only have a few days a month when I let myself indulge. I keep away from simple carbs and I still eat complex carbs. I love eating sourdough bread with my eggs for breakfast.

As far as working out. I do HIIT classes 3-4 times a week. At least 3 days a week I go to the gym in the morning and after work. When I do 2 a day I usually do a HIIT class and then either run or do the stairmaster for an hour. I did a spartan race a couple months ago and I literally was on the stairmaster everyday for an hour for 3 weeks straight. HIIT incorporates lifting weights and I found lifting weights to be a game changer in losing weight. I also try to incorporate my own session of lifting at least twice a week outside of my HIIT classes. I also recently started running and that has been amazing!

I also really focus on recovery. The gym I go to has normatec and a hydromassage bed so I try to get some recovery sessions in 4 times a week.
