 Over the next three weeks, I'm gonna be showing you absolutely everything I did in order to lose weight Change starts from the inside out. So for the next three weeks, I'm gonna be reading this book. It's called the Secret Life of Fat I just think it's gonna help me get better perspective on how I need to change my diet or my exercise Or I mean I don't know what I don't know probably gonna be a lot of gyms in here that are gonna Just change the way I view my body the way I view fat and the way I view exercise throughout the next three weeks I've given myself like mini-coals and if I make them then I get little mini treats for myself, too So without further ado, this is what my body is looking like right now On day one. I honestly I love my body, but it's just like the side fat I have my abdominals that I really want to go and like I get a little a little rolly roll So that's good at the core of the motivation for my weight loss journey But I'll be putting all my measurements on the screen This is actively kicking my ass. I thought I was gonna do the 12, 3, 30, but It's a 10, 3, 30 for me 10 more minutes left Little sweaty, oh my god Wow It's crazy Good morning It's day four and I woke up pretty like feeling just really trim in my midsection So I feel like maybe it's working. It's working. Maybe what do you think? Let's go to the gym Let me explain what I was doing in the gym Well, the cardio that I've been doing for the past couple of years has been the 12, 3, 3 And if you haven't heard of it, it was a pretty popular workout here on YouTube about two years ago Essentially you walk on the treadmill at an entire 12 at a speed of three And then you do that for 30 minutes The goal for week one is to just get in the gym every day and 12, 3, 30 minutes is easy to do that The special time in New York where it starts to smell like hot, flaming garbage And I can't, I can't look like that So essentially for the last 12 days what I've been doing is just adding the 12, 3, 30 workout on top of the workouts that I regularly do And honestly, y'all, I'm already seeing a difference Like look, I wore these shorts a couple of weeks ago in a vlog And they were just so tight and so uncomfortable And now like, look at them Like I just feel so happy So in addition to doing the 12, 3, 30 every day I also want to start doing like a personal workout That was truly my goal to create my own personal fitness routine And so this week I want to start adding in some stuff for my arms that are just a little flubby So on top of the 12, 3, 30 I'm also going to do maybe 12 reps of five pounds For my yoga instructor, not like a personal trainer So I'll figure out what I'm going to do today in the gym and I'll let you know And then in addition to like the 12, 3, 30 and like working on my fitness I have also been reading that book Actually, let me grab it for you This book right here called The Secret Life of Fat And honestly I have learned so much It's like transformed my eating habits And I can't wait to tell you all about it So what has been really great about this book is just learning about the science of fat So one of the things I've been implementing You can see I'm like nearly a little over halfway done I'm actually pretty close to the end Sorry, my cat's doing so What has really been helpful is just getting into learning a little bit about nutrition honestly So we have all this bacteria in our gut And essentially if you eat a lot of fatty foods You get more calories out of them Because the microbiomes, the bacteria in your gut Is accustomed to extractive fat from that food Versus if you primarily eat like a lot of fruit, vegetables I think in here it specifically says like oats, bananas Random healthy foods that we should all be eating When you do like slip up and have that slice of pizza Now and again, like your body won't get as much calories out of it Because your body is used to eating more fibrous foods Like leafy greens and vegetables So that's also something that I'm like okay Like I can't mess up once in a while But I should always try to have like a salad at least once a day And then also what I've been doing like last night I did kind of mess up and have a cheese quesadilla But I asked the wait staff, they could add veggies in it They said oh yeah sure So they put in like some onions and peppers And then I got served with guac, sour cream and pico de cayo And I really just ate the guac and the pico de cayo And I like love the sour cream alone So I felt like these little wins you know Make a huge difference over you know The course of I guess 12 days Also I did go to D.C. for the weekend So I did have two days in which I didn't work out at all And then one day that I did soul cycle while I was there It's all about just like getting back into the habit as soon as possible So I came back, I did take you know the Monday off But now I'm back in the gym And I also think like it's really hard for me to work out in the evening So I appreciate and I will actually do the 12-3-30 If I do it the first thing in the morning I've learned for myself that like if I don't do it in the morning I start doing other things and I'm like Oh I'm going to do it in the afternoon or in the evening I'm not going to do it I'm not going to do it, I have to do it in the morning So try to find a time that works for you Like whether you are an afternoon like work up person during your lunch break Or if you like to work out at the end of the day to kind of unwind Whatever it is, find a time that works for you and just commit to it Alright, I'm done rambling Let's go to the gym As much as I would like, like I still get that roll But I do think it takes a lot more effort Like I have to like bend and twist all over to get it I got this little sweat fan as a reward for myself After finishing my first week But it did take a really long time to get here So I just got it now and it's July 19th I do also want to get myself like a little ring or something Just for making this commitment to myself But I'm really proud I'm going to put the link to the sweat fan below It's going to be my first time wearing it during today's little walking workout I do wish I was seeing more results in my side obliques Like my side abdominals But I'm truly feeling the most results from the walking In my like butt and thighs Which wasn't really a problem area for me But I'm really happy to see how much improvement I've had Like I have had stretch marks on my butt my entire life And like I feel like I don't even really have stretch marks anymore Like the 12, 3, 30 has like lifted my butt so much It's like crazy Just doing the walking Like it's just a nice like kind of like knee time So I'm probably going to end this on the 21st day Which is in 3 days But I think it's going to be more of a life long journey And I'll probably come on here at the end of the video Just to talk about everything I learned from reading The Secret Life of Fat So without further ado Let's go work out for today Sweaty My inner thighs are, oh my god This video It is a few days after the 21st It's the 27th of July Yes, July So let's just do like a final weigh in And then I'll give you my thoughts My voice, oh my god I just decided I'm going to do like a review of the book all about fat In a different video Just for simplicity purposes But yeah, let's weigh in Okay, so that means I lost a grand total of 5 pounds If I'm doing the math correctly In July and I'm really happy about my progress I definitely did a lot more strength training And by strength training I mean I took various boot camp classes And yoga sculpt classes at core power Literally the one clip you guys saw of me lifting weights at the gym Was the only time I lifted weights at the gym In my building So I do want to try to do that a little bit more in August I think that would really help with my progress But yeah, this was actually really fun And I feel like doing this few days helps keep me accountable And I also like that this is realistic Like I've never been the type of person to drop like 20 pounds in like 30 days Like my body is very slow and steady once the race So I'm really happy with this progress It basically means I lost like a pound a week Or maybe a little bit more than a pound a week I don't know, I'll do the math later But I'm going to add my final measurements On the screen now And then maybe do like a little side by side Also I want to add in some clips of some stuff I ate And how I changed my eating habits But I do think that's going to be another video as well But a little sneak preview here I was treating myself every week when I felt like I hit my goal So the first week I got that wish trainer that I showed you guys The second week I got like a bunch of these Amazon work ups I got a brown one, a cream one, a purple one Honestly, because they're on sale It was prime day and I couldn't miss out on a good deal And I thought it kind of helped with the goal that I was trying to do Oh, and I got chocolate, peanut butter, protein powder That was also a really good decision And for the final week, week three I didn't really get myself anything But today I decided I'm going to get myself a ring So if you, or if I get it soon I think I'm probably going to get it today And I'm vlogging today So I will insert a clip if I get it today Otherwise, thank you so so much for watching If you like weight loss content I guess I'm a weight loss content girlie now I don't know Maybe just like health, wellness, fitness Stuff like that I am a yoga instructor so I feel uniquely qualified And yeah I will see you guys in the next video Please subscribe
