Anyone else gain a few pounds during quarantine. Oops!! Well have no fear because that is just life guys! There are different seasons in life and we just get to enjoy the ride. I sure enjoyed eating ALL. THE. FOOD. during quarantine and then realized I didn't feel as good as I was feeling pre-quarantine. SO, I decided to get back on track and get back to eating healthy. I miss it!! So for anyone else who is looking to lose a few pounds this month, here are my TOP 5 TRICKS TO LOSING FAT!

#1 - This is an important one guys. HIGH VOLUME FOOD! This is where it's at when you're dieting. Whether you eat a big ass salad, a big green smoothie, a big bowl of vegetable/chicken (low calorie) soup, or lots of veggies.... if you include this in your diet, it will help you SO much. Remember that when it comes to fat loss, calories are KING. But, you can make it a lot easier on yourself by making sure those calories come from high volume food so you aren't starving all day long!

#2 - Drink. A LOT....

I'm not going to lie... I have had a HARD time getting back into the swing of things after this whole quarantine craziness. I have been:

• unmotivated

• extra tired

• extra flabby (dang quarantine)

• off my game

Basically, ALL. THE. THINGS.

Last week was the first time I made it back to the gym. My workouts weren't like they were before but all that mattered to me was that I SHOWED UP. And now, this week... it's a little easier.

If you are having a hard time getting back into the swing of things, remember that you don't have to be back to where you were right away. It's okay to take it slow. AS LONG AS YOU KEEP MOVING TOWARD YOUR GOALS. 

I went to the gym even though I knew the workout wasn't going to be awesome because I ALSO knew that if I still went, I would feel PUMPED when I was done! And guess what, I did!

Here's the thing...

We can either choose "easy" in the moment and then go through the "hard" later on in the...
