The lifestyle changes you make need to stick with you for the rest of your life if you are to maintain your health and wellbeing. However, this is not a bad thing! In fact, if you’re eating tasty, healthy treats, nourishing your body, and keeping yourself engaged by getting into new and fun activities, the endless nature of the journey is an absolute joy.
Instead of hotdogs, fatty burgers, marshmallows, and junk food snacks, choose healthy proteins such as grilled chicken or beef. Meals like lean meat and colorful veggies are the best fuel through days of hiking and adventuring.
Stepping Out in Style on Hollywood’s Red Carpet
With her remarkable transformation out in the public eye and garnering so much love and attention, Lexi was selected by TNT Drama and L’Oreal Paris as an “inspiring strong woman of 2018.” Along with this honor came an invitation for both Lexi and Danny to make an appearance at the Screen Actors Guild awards that same year.
As you can imagine, it was both a delight and a shock to Lexi. Just a few years earlier and she would’ve dreaded the idea of picking a dress and trying to fit into a plane seat, let alone being seen on the red carpet among the impossible perfection of celebrities. Yet, here she was having a blast picking out a gorgeous, figure-hugging dress, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, enjoying a luxury hotel… and maintaining her health and fitness regime like a champion.
Gorgeous Lexi’s Top Meal Tips
When seeing such an astonishing transformation, the first question that comes into many people’s minds is: “how did you do it?” Which, for many people, really means “how can I do it?” Lexi is an endless source of answers to this question. One of her best healthy eating tips is to make life easy on yourself by prepping all the ingredients you need for a week’s worth of healthy meals on a Sunday. The trick is to make healthy eating as easy and hassle-free as fast food and junk!
When it comes to the junk food-laden holidays, Lexi is all about planning, making healthier versions of your favorite treats, and practicing portion control. Since many people don’t have a clue how to do any of this, Lexi backs up her advice with recipes and meal ideas, all made with real whole foods, nothing fake, nothing processed.
The Exercise Tips We All Need
Exercise can be fun for a while but, like most things in life, it can start to get boring if you’re doing the same things all the time. Yet consistency is the only way to get results! Knowing this conundrum all too well, Lexi and Danny Reed developed some clever ways to keep their heads in the game. The pair kept things interesting at the gym by switching up their workouts and heading to different classes each week. They also worked their fitness into their social activities.
In fact, the couple even hit the gym before date night! With the treat of spending a lush night together ahead, they find themselves super motivated to smash through their workouts. Of course, it’s not always so easy, as Lexi explained in an Instagram post: “some days we don’t know how we’re gonna do it, but every day we get it done!”
Nothing Beats the Support of a Like-minded Community
As you’ve probably picked up by now, Lexi and Danny wouldn’t have made it as far as they did without the support of friends, family, and the wider community they reached out to. While their results are theirs alone and they were certainly the ones who did all the hard work, there were moments of doubt and weakness along the way that were defeated with the help of their community.
Lexi’s community exists in both the online and offline worlds. Along with her Instagram account, she has a Facebook group where she hosts contests and shares tips, advice, and motivation. In the real world, she is never short of a workout buddy or a friend to chat to when she is feeling unmotivated. The #Fatgirlfedup social world is now filled with people sharing their own journeys and encouraging each other to achieve their goals.
