There’s no one-size-fits-all plan that works for everyone.  Keep a journal to find out what foods make you feel better and those that make you feel heavy and lethargic. Same thing for exercise. We must change up our exercise routine once in awhile too. Listen in today as she gives us her tricks and tools to help us make better decisions when it comes to food and exercise

[10:02] She wants us to know that she struggles with her weight too, it’s not easy for anyone.

[12:41] We all have to become our own investigative sleuths to find out what works for us, there is no one size fits all diet.

[15:28] Shemane speaks to us about changing up how we work out. If you keep running or doing only one type of exercise, your body will adapt. Strike your muscles in a different way by increasing the intensity, the frequency or duration with which you work out.

[17:30] She tells us that if she gets over her target weight by even a few pounds she starts eating salads or exercising more so that it doesn’t get out of control.

[21:01] First you must see your doctor before starting any diet or exercise program.

[21:25] Weigh yourself and take your measurements, be honest with yourself if you are not happy with what you see, try to change it.

[22:13] Find what works for you and what you like because if you don’t like it you won’t do it.

[22:30] Journal what you eat everyday and what exercises you like to do. Make a note about how the food you eat and the exercises you are doing makes you feel.

[26:07] Her number one weight loss trick is you to do a food swap, make better and healthier choices.
