FAVORITE WORKOUT LEGGINGS

My favorite workout leggings are from @Spanx
These are the 7/8 booty boost leggings
I’m wearing an XL. At a size 18/20, I wore a 2X for reference.

Why I love them:
-perfect amount of compression
-smooths out my cellulite
-don’t roll down
- makes my bum look great!
-fully opaque, even on darker skin tones

Sizing tip: if you’re in between sizes, size up
Available in sizes XS-3X

My dress is #gifted from Mac Duggal and what I love about them is that they have evening gowns available in extended sizes, thru US size 24. I’m wearing a size 16 and I would say it’s very true to size. #Macduggal

💪🏾My outfit is a chocolate brown Never Better 7/8th leggings along with the matching Win Win Sports bra by Free People Movement. You can’t tell, but it’s a razorback, and both are such great quality! I also paired it with the heather grey My Time Tee, which is one of fp movement’s fan favorites.

💪🏾I’m wearing an XL in both but I think I might have been able to wear a Large. The fabric is buttery soft and perfect for yoga or pilates.

👟I still love my icy blue and white Nike and right now they are half off! I love that they are wide width friendly!

🎀It’s also where I post daily outfits, home decor finds, my favorite makeup/haircare products, etc.

YALL know I love a good Jean dress and is this one not absolutely perfect for me!? It’s from Walmart and I’m wearing an XL because it doesn’t have any stretch and it only buttons, so I didn’t want any gaping.

My handbag is such great quality and looks like a vintage designer bag but it’s also Walmart!

These @Caraway food storage containers are sooo good! They are ceramic and are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe! I would recommend purchasing one large container to see how you like them before purchasing the whole set.

They keep food so much fresher than any other storage container I've owned. It makes meal prep so much more enjoyable.

🍳 CARAWAY COOKWARE FIRST
IMPRESSIONS 🍳 This is my first time cooking with my new 4.5qt. sauce pan and here are my thoughts:
@Caraway
👩🏾‍🍳 The design is amazing, and the pan quality is 10/10! It comes in a few colors but the white on gold is THAT GIRL for me!

👩🏾‍🍳 The chilis from the al pastor marinade did not dye the pan, which can happen when you use plastic pans.

👩🏾‍🍳 You don't really need oil because the pan is non-stick.

👩🏾‍🍳 You can put the pan in the over for up to 500 degrees and it is safe to use across all stove types.

👩🏾‍🍳 I even used mine as a "hot plate" to cook my tortillas and that also worked really well.

These are some items that make meal prepping easy while on a GLP1.

Meal prep, kitchen appliances, protein goals, health and wellness, smiles and pearls, back to school

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare

These are some of my recommendations if you’re just now starting your GLP1 journey.

Hair Health: I haven’t experience that much hair shedding, but I’ve been taking Nutrafol & Mary Ruth’s for a little over two years now. It’s a bit pricey but very worth it.

Weighted Vest: I use my vest almost daily when taking my dog Luca for a walk, and it helps with burning calories faster, strengthening my core and helps with posture. I would recommend starting with 15 pounds.

Strength Training: they say that you lose muscle while on the medication so it’s very important to do a couple of strength training exercises daily.

Walking Pad: I highly recommend getting a walking pad. It makes it so much easier to get your walk-in daily, especially if you’re very busy. It’s nice to have at home.

Fitness tracker: a great way to set goals for yourself. Your journey is your own. Set realistic goals for YOUR body and increase them as you go. When I first started my journey I set a goal of 15 min walks to start out. You can set a time , distance or step goal.

Hydration: I’ll admit it’s difficult to get in your daily water intake, but having a Brumate definitely makes it easier. My water stays cool all day and it doesn’t leak.
I’m a big fan of the White Peach sugar free Liquid IV.

Hope these tips help you on your journey.
