My identify is Whitney Vaughan, and I’m an East Texas native who thrives on serving to others. Just a little over a yr after having my third baby after which sitting at dwelling for months as a result of COVID, I made a decision it was time to get wholesome. I needed to actually take into consideration what that meant for me and what it will appear like, so I started my journey with counting macros and getting again into CrossFit.
Most of my grownup life I’ve been bodily lively, whether or not it was figuring out in a gymnasium doing my very own factor, following exercises in a e book, operating, following a kettle bell exercise program, or being lively in even earlier years in CrossFit. Also, all of my grownup life, I’ve been a mom, full-time pupil with a job, or full-time trainer. Finding time to exercise has all the time been necessary to me, however I by no means actually reaped the advantages of the bodily exercise and being “fit” till I began giving my physique the vitamin it wanted. I’ve three kids. We are lively in after college actions, and our household is concerned in neighborhood occasions nearly weekly. A plan that gave me precisely what to buy and what to eat every day was mandatory for me to achieve success. Meal plans are good for that as a result of I’m able to take a number of hours on the weekend to be ready for the complete week to simply seize and go.

Counting macros and following a weekly plan has helped me transition into dwelling a wholesome way of life. I try to gasoline my physique with meals that work collectively to energise and burn fat.
After a couple of yr of counting macros and persistently exercising, I misplaced roughly 15 kilos of fats and was capable of construct lean muscle with correct vitamin. Friends and household started to note. In truth, a really shut good friend reached out to me and needed assist along with her meal planning, so I began taking what I used to be doing weekly and making it match her wants.
