I remember being so lost about nutrition. I understood calories, but remember asking my dad well if a cupcake has 200 calories and so does a sandwich (or whatever it may be) does your body see it the same way? - - I didn’t know what macros were. A lot of people stop at the simple explanation calories in vs calories out. That’s weight loss. And for the most part true. BUT for body re-composition eating the right macronutrients is key. - - I’ve seen the twinkie diet and similar fads, which, yes if you eat less calories with twinkies now that previously you should lose weight… you may end up with diabetes, but you’ll lose weight. HOWEVER, you won’t be gaining muscle and losing fat. Protein is the key macro when looking to gain some muscle. Of course you need all macros in the proper amounts to see the best results. - - It can all be so confusing!

Got my glutes and shoulders workout this morning... on very little sleep. Unfortunately the puppy I’m watching had some stomach issues that I had to clean up at 2 am. Poor doggy. But that didn’t stop me from getting my workout in! Got some clips and the full workout is all the way at the end if you swipe right. #cakenweights #shouldersandlegs #gluteworkout #bootygains🍑 #bouldershoulders #fitfam #gymrat #newtofitness #weightlifting #liftheavy #girlswholiftheavy #girlswholiftweights #freeworkout #workoutvideos #onlinecoaching #fitnesshelp #fitnessadvice #liftlikeagirl #bootyworkout #shoulderworkout (at Bethesda, Maryland)

#transformationtuesday hair gains am I right? 😂🤪 For me the body transformation didn’t come until the mind transformation. Coming from an eating disorder background seeing the scale go up and eating enough food wasn’t easy at first. But I changed my perspective on food and see it as fuel for my body and don’t see “good” or “bad” foods. Which is something I hear way too much “I can’t eat that, it’ll make me fat” - Some people rely too heavily on their weight as a guide to how they are progressing and how healthy they are. Or worse, that number shows their worth. You are much more than a number. And gaining weight might mean more muscle, more strength and looking leaner. #cakenweights #transformation #progressnotperfection #flexingladies #weightlifting #beginningfitness #gymgirl #fitnesshelp #mindset #healthiernow #strongisbeautiful #getoffthescale #morethananumber #gethealthynotskinny #progresspic #thentonow #girlswholift #girlswithmuscle #liftheavy #workoutmotivation #gymrat #healthymindset #mindsettransformation (at Bethesda, Maryland)

Some core ideas for you... global crunches are one of my favorites since they use your whole core. And then those v ball passes burn so good! - With my online coaching program you get access to a video library with videos of all these different exercises categorized by muscle group. After a free consultation call discussing lifestyle and goals I work out a workout and nutrition plan to help you achieve those goals. With weekly check-ins I modify the plans as needed.

#transformationtuesday September 2014–> today. Change doesn’t happen overnight. A lot of people quit cause they don’t see results after a month. The things to remember in the meantime is your why. Why are you working out? For health. For confidence. For strength. For independence. For happiness... it can be easy to say “it’s not working” and quit. There’s a quote (that I can’t find right now) that says something along the lines of successful people keep going when everyone else quits. Don’t quit when the going gets tough, push through and make yourself tougher! - At www.cakenweights.com you can sign up for a free online coaching consultation call to discuss your why and goals with me so we can make them happen! #cakenweights #findyourwhy #workoutjourney #journeytohealth #beginningfitness #ittakestime #doesnthappenovernight #trasformationbody #progresspic #progressnotperfection #dontquit #dontgiveup #dontquityet #keepgoing #motivation #fitnessmotivation #fitfam #girlsinthegym #gymthusiasm #gymgirl #onlinecoach #onlinecoaching #acceptingclients (at Cabin John, Maryland)

Injury is feeling a or better today! Still feels a bit sore, but I got in a light chest and back workout. Then hit some core work: •leg holds—>scissor kicks—> flutter kicks •froggy crunches (a bit awkward, but really works the lower core more than regular crunches) •leg lifts I like to hold the contractions for core work, so at the top of crunches I do a 3-5 second hole and at the bottom of leg lifts I’ll hold it there. #cakenweights #coreworkout #core #abs #absworkout #workout #fitness #workoutidea #gymrat #gymthusiasm #ladylifter #workhard #weekendworkout #workoutcomplete #gymlove #gymlife #workoutvideo #burn #crunches #leglifts #saturdayworkout (at Washington Sports Clubs)
