Are you tired of setting resolutions and goals each year, and never achieving them?

I was too, until I managed to find a solution that actually worked!

And you know what?
You can do it too! 

Today I’m sharing the 3 simple steps that helped me achieve all of my fitness goals!

Apply these 3 steps to any goal, and make it happen this year!

3 STEPS to achieving all your goals THIS YEAR

Did you know that every year more than 50% of people make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, work out, save money, be more productive etc..

And yet, around 80% of those resolutions get abandoned around February.

That’s really sad!

All of those goals just vanish after only 1 month!

And I’ve been there, too.

Year after year, setting goals I just couldn’t seem to achieve.

UNTIL, I finally did it!

I am now a vegan, I eat healthy, I work out regularly, I have a YouTube channel and I even have my own workout program that helps women achieve their fitness and weight loss goals.

However it took me a lot of years and a lot of trial and error, to finally get to those goals.

And here are the 3 steps that actually helped me do it!

1. FOCUS ON SMALL WINS

(Instead of setting grand goals)

Instead of setting grand goals, just focus on those small wins you want to include in your daily life, that will lead you to that big goal overtime.

I was always a “GO BIG OR GO HOME” type of gal.

So, each year I would set a bunch of huge goals, and just hope for the best.

For example, I always wanted to start living a more sustainable life.

So, year after year I was setting a goal to  go vegan this year.

And spoiler alert – I never did.

And this was a goal I was really passionate about, and I wanted to achieve ONE day.

So, from my trial and error I knew that If I just kept writing down “go plant based” as a goal, I would never achieve it.

Mainly because there was not a plan attached to this huge goal of mine.

And I was too dependent on meat as a main source of protein, already.

So, instead, I decided to set a few smaller goals, that are focused around becoming plant based eventually.

Here’s what I wrote:

• Swap whey protein for plant based protein 

• Reduce meat intake to three times a week

• Learn how to get enough protein from plants

• Try 1 new plant based recipe a week

• Try going plant based for a full month

Now at that time I was eating some sort of animal food almost every single day.

So I knew that even reducing my meat intake would be huge for me.

Plus, I was a bit confused on the topic of getting enough protein on a plant based diet, since I was working out and lifting heavy a lot.

However, by taking baby steps, making small changes, and going at a pace I was comfortable with, I managed to get my goal and go plant based for a full month.

Since by that time I’ve already tried a bunch of plant based recipes, reduced meat intake, and learned how to eat proteins as a vegan, I just loved that one month.

So, that month turned into two months, and then into a year, and

I am proud to say that I am a vegan ever since.

And this can apply to anything!

Let’s say your goal is to eat healthier this next year.

A beginner’s mistake would be to immediately go on a diet and just hope for the best.

What you should do instead is set tinier goals, such as trying out a new healthy recipe each week, or swapping up deserts for fruits.

Maybe eventually you’ll commit to having a healthy breakfast each day.

By dividing your grand goal into smaller wins each day, you’ll manage to add up to greater results.

2. SEARCH FOR PROBLEMS

(Before setting a goal)

Instead of just setting a goal, or a resolution, you should find the problems that might be preventing you from reaching that goal first.

For example, my goal was to stay fit, so one of my small wins was to be more consistent with working out.

So, I sat down and just asked myself:

“Why haven’t I worked out as much this past year?
Is it because I haven’t had the time, or there was always something that came up last minute, or I wasn’t really motivated enough, or it took too much of my time.”

And once I found the problems, I could now set a real solution.

For example, for not having the time to go to the gym, my solution was:

Instead of applying to a gym, I’ll subscribe to an at-home workout program, and I’ll work out in the comfort of my own home.

This will not only save me so much time on the trips to the gym, but it would save me money that I can use to invest in workout equipment.

You see, just by committing to going to the gym each day and ignoring your problems, you’re just setting yourself up for failure.

What you should do is find something that works for you and fits your busy schedule first, and set that as a goal.

By finding even the hypothetical problems, and thinking of a solution, you are setting a goal for success.

Apply this to any goal you have, and you’ll be able to achieve your goals every single time.

3. LEARN FROM THE SETBACKS

(Instead of blaming yourself)

The truth is, life happens, and things almost never go as we plan them.

And we all have setbacks.

Especially when it comes to long term goals.

That’s why instead of blaming yourself after a setback, it is crucial to take a second and learn from it.

Let’s say your goal is to work out 5 times a week.

At first you start off, you are in the groove, you’re working out all the time, you’re feeling so motivated.

Then one day, you decide to take a break.

And before you know it the week has passed and you haven’t had a single workout yet.

It’s been a busy week and you just don’t have the time to do it.

That week will turn into two weeks, eventually into a month.. You get the drill.

Before you know it, the goal is out of your sight.

Sounds familiar?

Well it sure is, since it happens to all of us!

And the first thing you should do is recognize the setback, and say it out loud.

Yes I had a setback, I deserved that break, now what?

First, get out of that mindset of blaming yourself and just take a second to learn from it.

Ask yourself: why haven’t I been able to keep up with the workout this past month?

What can I do to make that time, and make the workout happen?

Or what can I do to boost my motivation?

Maybe I’ll switch up that workout program for something exciting and new, or switch up the time of the day I work out.

Just by sitting down, and analyzing your setback you’ll get so much info that can be really helpful.

This way you’ll be able to find a solution and get out of the loop.

Blame won’t do anything.
Learning from the experience will.

LASTLY…

You will not always be motivated to work towards the goals you’ve set.

And that’s totally fine.

No one is motivated all the time.

You’ll have ups, you’ll have downs.

What matters in the end is the process and the overall journey.

And by getting to the end of this article, you’re already on the right track!

I’m so proud of you!

I really hope my 3 steps will help you achieve all of your goals this year.

What are your biggest goals?

Let’s analyze them together!

Write them down in the comment section bellow, and we’ll go through them step by step.

How long does it really take to transform your body? 

Well, I’ve been into fitness for over 7 years now, and it took me almost 3 years to really start seeing the changes on my body I wanted.

That’s because I was doing so many things wrong for such a long time.

So, today, I’m sharing all of the mistakes that slowed me down in terms of working out and nutrition.

My Fitness Transformation

The 5 Mistakes That Slowed It Down

Now, let me ask you this, how many times have you seen a fitness transformation picture like mine here, and admired it, without ever asking yourself how long did it really take this girl to get from point A to point B.

Well, for me, it was almost 3 years.

And all because I made some crucial mistakes, and wasted my time on things that actually didn’t work.

And still with so much false info out there, I really don’t want this to happen to any of you.

It can be so frustrating and exhausting, and once you don’t see progress, it can lead to quitting.

That’s why I’m listing the 5 mistakes that made my fitness journey and my fitness transformation longer than it should. 

MISTAKE #1: Spending Too Much Time At The Gym

Back in the days when I was first getting into fitness I was spending a ridiculous amount of time at the gym.

Having an hour and a half lifting session followed by 1 hour slow steady cardio session.

I hated cardio so much, since it was extremely boring, and I was obviously overdoing it.

And if only someone would have told me then, that I could do HIIT and circuit training instead, it would have saved me so much time.

And it would have made fitness so much more exciting and fun.

Once I started including HIIT into my workout routine I started getting twice the results in terms of burning excess fat, without tapping into those lean muscles.

And all of that while spending a fragment of the time I was spending at the gym on a cardio machine.

We live and we learn :)

Here’s my program now:

MISTAKE #2: The Food I Was Eating Was Boring

Let’s just say nothing exciting wasn’t happening in my diet at the time.

Boiled chicken and broccoli.
Or boiled eggs (only egg whites ofc) sided with a few leaves of spinach or lettuce.

My taste buds were not happy at all, and my dopamine levels were basically below zero when it came down to having a meal.

And of course, since I didn’t enjoy my food, I cheated.

Oh yes I did. 

Especially on the weekends.

This was basically my reward for sticking to such a restrictive diet all week.

And it wasn’t just one meal, oh no no no…

I had full cheat days, with the 3 meals, and sometimes both Saturday and Sunday.

Not to mention the alcohol intake, which also was alarmingly increasing, especially in my early 20s.

So, what I learned from that was really important:

You cannot stick to a healthy diet if you are not enjoying the foods you eat.

It’s just not sustainable. 

Once I found a healthy and balanced meal plan that keeps me excited and fulfilled, I managed to get long term results.

If you are interested in my meal plan now, you can check it out here:

MISTAKE #3: I Was Not Eating Carbs

I didn’t know at the time that in order to “tone” your body, or grow bigger muscles, you have to eat carbs.

With keto being so popular back then, I thought I didn’t really need carbs.

Especially not after a workout. Oh, God forbid that!

It just blows my mind how wrong I was about carbs.

Because carbs are the body’s main source of energy.

They actually power the workouts, which means they supply you with the energy to train harder.

And harder training = better results in terms of fat burn and muscle gain.

Carbs play a crucial role in my everyday life now, and I was so wrong to think I didn’t need them.

Food is so much more than just a calorie, and the faster you realize this, the faster you’ll get your results.

MISTAKE #4: I Didn’t Do Progressive Overload

I was so focused on changing up the exercises, and exercising longer, that I often neglected this one aspect of fitness that today I swear by.

And that is PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD.

Progressive overload became a crucial part of my fitness transformation.

Now what does it mean?

Progressive overload is actually the gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise.

This means gradually challenging your body more and more each time you workout, by increasing the weight, the frequency, or the number of repetitions in your routine.

Progressively overloading means you are continually increasing the demands on your muscle in order to maximize adaptation gains in strength, size, or endurance.

So, this means that if you squat with let’s say 15 pounds, and you are not really feeling your squats anymore, chances are your muscles have adapted to that weight.
What you need to do is increase the weight in order to see gradual changes.

If you stick to the same weight or the same intensity, you might end up not seeing progress.

And to be honest, I always thought that changing up the exercises was crucial so your muscles won’t adapt to them and get bored.

When actually they are less likely to get bored by the movement.
What they get used to is the weight.

What’s even more important is adding up more and more weight overtime, so that your muscles can be constantly challenged, and not hit that plateau.

MISTAKE #5: I Waited Too Long To Eat After a Workout.

And sometimes I would even go to bed afterwards, and not eat anything at all.

Because yeah, I thought if I starve, I will not gain back the calories that I just burned.

Simple math right?
WRONG!

You see, when working out some of the proteins in your muscles get broken down and damaged.

Therefore, after your workout, your body tries to rebuild its glycogen stores and repair and regrow those muscle proteins in order to grow bigger.

And the bond that helps rebuild those muscles and helps them grow is food.

Muscles are built in the kitchen, and that’s a fact!

That’s why it is so important to have something to eat immediately after a workout.

Because your muscles won’t grow, if you’re not feeding them, 

I know this may be obvious to some of you, but again, if you are not eating right, or enough food, or you wait too long to eat after working out you cannot get the results you want.

And I’m not talking only about proteins here.

Yes proteins are a crucial part of building muscles.

But whoever said that carbs are bad for us.. UGH!

So, now I drink my protein shake immediately after my training, and eat my balanced meal in the range of 1 hour TOPS afterwards.

This way, I make sure my body is recovering faster, and growing stronger.

My Fitness Transformation

The Conclusion

Lastly, girls, progress takes time.

Making serious body changes takes time.

For some women moving from point A to point B can happen in just a few months, while for others it can take years of dedication and work.

There are so many factors involved, with genetics leading them.

So, please don’t be hard on yourself if you are experiencing a dead end, and you’re taking longer to get the results you want.

What you can do to speed it up is learning more on a daily basis.

And by getting to the end of this post you are already on the right track.

I am so proud of you!

It’s so easy to forget about you, when you’re on a weight loss journey.

Especially as a beginner into fitness and weight loss, I was always in for the wrong reasons:

“I hate my body.
 I want to look like her.
 I am afraid to step on the scale.
 Why am I destined with this body?
 Can I ever change it?
 When will the gap in my hips disappear?”

Should I go on?

These things are planted in our minds from day one, and that’s probably the reason why we all start on our journeys to lose weight.

As much as my reasons changed since I first started, I still to this day find myself looking in the mirror and searching for flaws and imperfections I can’t do anything about.

And it took me years of practicing self love and self acceptance to finally get to a point where I am on a journey, not because I hate my body, but because I love it.

It took me years to kick those discussing beauty standards out of my head, and start appreciating every bit of me.

And today, I’m sharing them with you.

These are my 10 affirmations that are always getting me back to where I need to be in terms of mindset.

And please, don’t mind me and my story, because today, these affirmations are all about you.

I want to show you and help you realize how incredible you are, how powerful, how strong.

I’m so glad you’re here and I’m so grateful we’re in this together.

Without further ado, let’s jump right into them.

Self Love On A Weight Loss Journey
10 Affirmations I Swear By

#1

Oh no you are not!

I know it’s hard not to make your life all about weight loss, especially when you’re starting off on a weight loss journey.

However, don’t let it define you.

There is so much more in your beautiful life than your weight loss journey.

For most of us it’s an important part of life, however, never let it overcome you.

You are so much more than your weight loss journey, babe – Always remember that!

Which brings me to the next one…

#2

Nor does your pant size.

They are just numbers, and they don’t tell your story, not even a bit part of it.

Beautiful, loving, strong and smart can’t be measured on any scale.

Which brings me to the next one…

#3

Oh, yes!

I’ve gained and lost weight throughout the years.

And that’s ok.

There’s was a time when these kind of changes would have gave me anxiety.

I used to think about my weight as a mirror to my work and my worth, when I couldn’t have been more far from the truth.

And on the other hand self love isn’t about feeling amazing and beautiful and full of life every single moment of your life.

Instead it’s knowing that who you ARE doesn’t CHANGE even if your body does.

Remember that!

#4

It’s so easy to let your mind take over and put you in a position where all you see are just flaws.

But that’s just your mind bulling.

Think about it this way: Would you say those things to another human being?

Not to mention saying them to someone who matters to you.

And yet you pour them over yourself like it doesn’t matter.

Just stop, pretty girl.

The way you talk to yourself matters.

And the way you think of yourself matters even more, which brings me to the next one…

#5

Hating certain parts of your body just because they are not “perfect” – does this sound familiar?

I’ve always sort of had a bit of toxic relationship with my thighs.

I have lots of stretchmarks and I always wished they just vanish away.

Every time I looked in the mirror all I could see were those stupid stretchmarks.

No matter if I posed, no matter if I was in my fittest or my skinniest days, all I could see was scars.

Until I started doing HIIT.

Now I appreciate my legs so much, and not necessarily for how they look, but for what they can DO.

They carry me around all day every day, they allow me to jump, they allow me to hike, they allow me to squat with 50+ kg.

And all that put aside, my legs carry me everywhere, they allow me to travel and experience all the beauty in this world.

They help me stay active and achieve most of my goals, and I am grateful of how strong they are.

And those stretchmarks? Proudly wearing them – those are just my battle scars, baby :)

In addition, here’s another one…

#6

I’m sorry if they ever made you think, even for a single second, that you are ‘flawed’.

I’m sorry if they ever made you feel that you need to be a certain way in order to be beautiful.

Because darling, they are wrong. They are so wrong.

Those lines on your skin, those wrinkles around your eyes, those dips in your hips, and those folds that come out on your tummy whenever you sit down – they are natural, they are normal, they are beautiful.

You don’t need to flatten those, babe, they are not flaws at all.

They are a work of nature.

And from here, we should also not forget this next one…

#7

Never.

You don’t know their story.

You don’t know what they’ve been through.

You don’t know if they look like that all the time, if that’s just posing, or it’s photoshop, or it’s a filter.

A one side snapshot is all we get from a 2d picture.

No one is posting their bad sides on Instagram.

No one is posting their failures on Instagram.

Just keep this in mind and never ever compare your beautiful self to someone else.

#8

Not the number on the scale, not your pant size number, not your bra number, not your age.

Those are just numbers.

They don’t mean anything at all.

I haven’t stepped on a scale in years, and I don’t plan on stepping on one anytime soon because the number I see doesn’t mean anything to me.

I haven’t measured myself in years, and that was something I was doing every single month back in the days when I was starting with fitness.

Being ashamed of those numbers is something I will never put myself through.

You shouldn’t either, babe.

And even if weighing on a scale is something you do regularly, that’s totally fine… Just try not to let it get you.

Don’t chase some goal weight the internet had set.

Your body is not mine.
My shape is not yours.

Any numbers we can rattle off, have nothing to do with our worth, our value, or our purpose here on earth.

We are so much more than any of that.

And our bra sizes, body types and scale numbers are just a pale in comparison to the sheer force of our perfectly imperfect souls.

:)

#9

Of course you can.

This is actually one of the latest issues I had to deal with:

How can I possibly promote self love and self acceptance and still work on myself, and try to better myself every day?!

I was struggling to accept myself as a fitness and healthy food enthusiast, because I knew why I started this journey.

However, years have passed and those reasons have faded away.

Today I work out not because I hate my body, but because I love it, and it’s something that makes me feel more alive.

Today, I am amazed of what my body can do, and I am constantly motivated to push it even more and see what happens.

Today I eat healthy not because I want to get skinny, but because I want to be healthy and take care of myself.

I feel better when I eat healthy food, but I will have a pizza every now and then and I don’t beat myself over it.

I am still a work in progress, but that doesn’t mean I hate myself – It means I care about myself.

#10

So much more, darling.

You are a soul.

You are a force, you are a power.

You are fierce, strong and fabulous.

You are kind, loving, and caring.

You have so much to give to this world.

You are so much more than that picture you see when you look in the mirror.

Your energy is moving mountains.

You are not a body. You are you, and that’s your superpower.

Always remember that!

Now Let’s Spread Self Love

I really hope I helped you practice some self love and change your mindset, at least just a bit.

Give your mind, body and heart a little bit of love today.

Treat your BODY with KINDNESS and know that YOU are AMAZING.
You are.
You absolutely are.

Share your favorite self love affirmations with your friends and people who need to hear this.

I hope this helps!

My Summer At Home Challenge
30 Day Workout Challenge

How To Do The 30 Day Workout Challenge?

Here are a few things about the summer challenge you have to know:

• Print out your challenge.
  Check off the white boxes when finishing each day, in order to keep track to how far you’ve come.
• You have a daily workout schedule from Monday to Friday for 4 weeks.
  Saturday and Sunday are rest days.
• Do it whenever you have the time.
  There is no rule on when is the best time of the day to do the challenge.
  However, I personally do it first thing in the morning, to get it out of the way and start my day with great energy.
• Stay consistent.
  It’s only a few minutes a day for the first weeks, so no excuses.
• Don’t skip days!
  Even if you’re a beginner, the first few days will feel really light. However, they are there for a reason – to warm you up and get you ready gradually on what’s coming next.
  So, don’t skip any days.
• You can mix it up with another fitness routine.
  This challenge is here to make sure you stay active and in shape even if you’re not working out.
  However, if you already follow a workout plan, you can still do the challenge.
  I personally do the challenge in the morning, and my RADIATE Workout Program in the evening.

We’ve all been there.

We start working out on a Monday, super excited and motivated to be completely dedicated this time.

However, by the end of the week (if not sooner) we start making excuses and all of our plans go down the drain.

Does this sounds familiar?

Of course it does. At some point it had happened to all of us.
And today we’re fixing it!

I’m going to give you a guide on how to finally stop making excuses and stick to a workout plan once and for all.

Let’s get started right away.

My 5 Steps To Stick To A Workout Plan

Truth be told, I’ve been making excuses and skipping workouts as much as anyone else.

Especially after transferring my workouts at home, it was a real challenge keeping up with my fitness routine.

However, I’ve managed to found a way to stick to my plan and it actually just takes few simple steps.

Let’s dive right into them!

#1: Keep It Short

If you haven’t worked out for quite some time now, it’s going to be hard to get back on track.

We would all rather watch boring YouTube videos, or scrolling through social media feed instead of spending the time working out.

However, working out doesn’t have to take much of your time.

In fact, nowadays we know that we don’t have to spend hours at the gym to get body changing results.

Ain’t nobody got time for long workouts – we are all about fast, explosive and effective.

And fitness is actually all about how hard you work out, rather than how much time you spend working out.

The workouts don’t have to take hours of your day, and you don’t have to plan around them.

Dedicate only 20-30 minutes of your day for a fast sweat routine, but give everything you got.

#2: Make Working Out Fun

Working out is a habit.

And we all know how hard it can be to stick to a habit.

In order to do so, you’ll have to be consistent, but also, you’ll have to have fun doing it – otherwise it easily becomes a chore.

In order to have fun when working out, your training sessions should be challenging and your plan shouldn’t repeat as much, with tons of different exercises and intervals that will keep you in that fat-burning zone, but also make working out an exciting experience overall.

And for me, the RADIATE Workout Program does all of that.

I’ve struggled to keep up with so many workout plans, so that’s why I finally decided to create one myself.

And this plan is anything but boring.

The workouts are:

• short and explosive, but really effective (only 30 mins a day)
• the exercises are non-repeating – over 150+ different exercises
• it’s a video based program, so it’s really easy to follow – you just click play and follow along
• there are different intervals throughout the program, so your body will never get bored

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is fun in general, and it’s the best way to burn fat and build muscles at the same time, while preforming fun and versatile workouts.

If you haven’t found a workout plan that does all of that for you, I warmly suggest you to try out the RADIATE plan.

You can try out Day 1 Week 1 today, I just uploaded it on my YouTube channel.

#3: Change Your Mindset

Working out is hard.

In fact I don’t think we talk enough about just how hard it is to go through a workout.

Your body is in pain, you are sweating as hell, your muscles are shaking, you can’t get your breath, the voice in your head screams STOP!

…do I need to keep going?

And to overcome this feeling and still manage to gather the strength to keep going and push through the workout, you have to be a real hero.
But also you have to know that you’re going to love it later.

Once you finish the workout there is a price, and I’m not even talking about body goals here. 

That feeling of satisfaction, and relief you get after finishing a workout is just amazing, and priceless, and I don’t even know if I can change it for anything else.

Embrace that feeling, and learn to love it.

Psst… Check out How Changing My Mindset Helped Me Lose Weight!

Once you learn to make fitness something you want to do, and feel powerful and strong when doing it, your mind will swap to wanting to exercise instead of doing it just because of getting fit.

“I have to workout” easily becomes “I get to workout” and that’s when you know you are hooked.

Hating it is a phase you have to overcome in order to stay hooked on it.

Today I can proudly say that fitness and workout are a part of my personality, and changing my mindset and perspective helped me do it.

#4: Be A Part Of A Community

Everything’s easier when you are surrounded by people who support you and cheer you up.

That’s why having a community behind you is crucial, especially nowadays.

Start following different fitness and workout groups, don’t be afraid to comment, ask questions, and get into discussions with like minded people.

Ask questions, read stories and share yours.

Having that sense of community helps everything feel easier and better.

That’s why I made a Facebook Group Board for my RADIATE babes.

We share workouts, struggles, before and after photos and discuss everything with each other.

The group is still small, but it’s growing everyday, and the love and support we get from one another is just everything!

#5: Learn To Rest

Even when you get into a solid workout routine, you’ll have days when you just don’t feel like working out, and that’s totally fine.

There are days when stress or fatigue from a busy day will just take over and it’s okay.

It’s OKAY to rest, it’s OKAY to take a day off, it’s OKAY to take a week off.
It doesn’t mean you’re making excuses because your feelings are valid.

Get comfortable with the fact that any movement is enough – even short walks and gentle yoga.

Just move, do what makes you feel good at the moment, and have fun!

We all need to rest sometimes, and that’s totally fine.

Take the rest you need, but make sure to jump right back in once you feel better.

Now Let’s Get To Work!

I hope you like my 5 step plan for sticking to a workout plan.

These 5 steps helped me make working out a habit I love, and I truly believe they will help you to.

And we’re here…

90 days after I started working out and eating healthy with my new all-in-one program RADIATE, I’m finally ready to share my journey with you!

I am into fitness and nutrition for almost  10 years now.

However, it was a bumpy ride indeed.

The truth is, for most of those years I was struggling to lose weight and get fit, before I finally learned how to do it right.

For the past 3 months I’ve been doing RADIATE which is a video based workout program I worked on, packed with a diet plan with recipes included.

It’s basically everything you need to lose weight and get fit for life.

Now, if I’m being completely honest with you, before I started RADIATE I’ve gained some weight.

This was due to some stressful events that have happened in my life and I haven’t been as consistent with both my workouts and my diet. 

I’ve honestly never felt as out of track and as out of shape.

But I managed to overcome it, and I can’t wait to share my journey with you!

Today, after 90 days of exercising and keeping my meals healthy I managed to get my body back to my comfort weight, burn that fat that was bothering me so much and get my muscles back.

And everything started with RADIATE.

I can’t wait to share my body transformation journey (and mindset transformation) through my 90 day RADIATE journey with you!

Let’s get started right away.

Psst… You’re getting Week 1 Day 1 from the Radiate program for FREE – just keep reading :)

BODY TRANSFORMATION
My 90 Day RADIATE PROGRAM Update

First of all, I can’t believe how freaking fast these 90 days flew!

It’s really fascinating how when you’re so focused, you want something so bad, and you’re enjoying the process getting there, it doesn’t really feel like work or like a chore at all.

And that was the mood throughout this whole 90 day journey, I really haven’t felt deprived of happiness or restricted of food as I usually do.

Instead I was constantly feeling motivated to do better on my workouts, to push myself harder every day, and to keep it as healthy as I could afterwards.

And with every day that passed, I felt more and more like myself.

My body transformed and evolved and I’ve been loving every single step of the way.

Let’s jump right into it!

#1: Food And Nutrition

Every body transformation starts with nutrition.

And that’s the tricky part.

The food part has always been the hardest for me, because of one simple reason:

I like to eat a lot.

I am a foodie, always have been, and if I wasn’t doing this for a living, I would most definitely not be where I am right now.
I outeat all of my friends (and my boyfriend) and I’m always the last one still picking at leftovers at the table.

It’s sometimes super hard to control myself when I eat, and have no limits – even though I had too much to eat, if something was super delicious I’d have one more piece in my plate.

And I am a huge advocate of “you don’t have to eat less – you just have to eat right” mindset, and I knew I would find a diet plan that keeps me happy and full.

That’s exactly what I had in mind when designing the RADIATE Meal Plan.

90 days in, and for the first time in my life, I am satisfied with what (and how much) I eat.

I literally transformed my body by eating delicious meals, not really worrying about the portions, snacking all the time on foods that taste so good, yet they are 100% healthy, balanced and clean.

Lunch: Creamy Potato Salad

The recipes are easy to do, they don’t take much time and are usually 10-20 minute meals you can do even if you haven’t cooked a single thing all your life.

There are pancakes, there are pizzas, tortillas, burgers, pasta, puddings, creamy dressings…

It don’t even feels like you’re on a diet if I’m completely honest.

No restrictions, no portion sizes, no calorie counting..
Only healthy delicious meals, that taste freaking amazing!

Breakfast: Fresh Avo Toasts

I know that for 70% of my body transformation results I have nutrition to thank to.

That being said, this meal plan made it super easy to stay on track with all it’s diversity and delicious – almost non-healthy looking meals :)

#2: Workout And Consistency

Now for the fun part – the workouts.

If I’m being completely honest, the workout part of the process has never been hard for me.

I just love to workout in general (I’m a fitness trainer at the end of the day, and I love doing this for a living).

However, I am a home worker for years now, and there is not a force in this world that would get me back to going to the gym again in my life.

That being said, I couldn’t find a sustainable workout program that was made to:

• burn fat,
• build some serious muscles,
• don’t take hours of your day,
• and one that it’s fun doing.

I myself easily lose interest when it comes to workout and I pretty easily get bored with any home program.

That’s why I created one :)

This workout program is anything but boring.

The RADIATE workout program is designed to be so much fun, with so many different intervals and exercises.

There are 4 weeks of workout videos, you can follow along.

Each day is completely unique with completely new intervals and brand new exercises.

The workouts are only 30 minutes a day, however, in those 30 minutes you are literally getting lit up!

And this is where the real body transformation started to get in place.

My muscles started showing up.

I started losing fat all over my body, and my muscles started getting bigger and stronger each day.

Botty, legs, shoulders, arms, back… I started feeling soreness in places I’ve never even knew they existed.

And those abs – OMG! Stronger every day!

The best thing about this program is that even though it’s a high intensity interval workout, there are a lot of body building moves involved.

This allows you to burn fat and build muscles at the same time.

If I was spending hours at the gym before, doing strength training and working on a cardio machine afterwards, this time I was doing all of those things at once, and spending only 30 minutes of my day.

I fell in love with this program instantly, and I’m not the only one – everyone loves the workouts.

Girls all over the world are super happy with the workouts – I get positive feedback on a daily basis.

And the best thing is that now you can try out one workout for free to see if you like it, and if it’s something worth giving a try for at least a month.

I just uploaded Week 1 Day 1 video on YouTube and I can’t wait to get your feedback!

Here it is:

Go ahead and try it out for FREE!! 

#3: Motivation

And lastly, motivation is where I always go wrong.

Life always gets in the way, and at the end of the day I’m not motivated enough to stay on track.

It’s usually this scenario with me:

I am late for work. 
I still haven’t walked my dog, not to mention breakfast – what was that??

I get back home too tired to cook, or workout and I promise to myself I’ll do it latter – never actually do it.
I fall asleep on the couch watching Eamon and Bec over and over again as they go for their morning run and wish I have a well organized life like that.

Well, not this time.

These 90 days have thought me that no matter how tired I am, or how sleepy I am, to always get up 15 minutes earlier and eat my breakfast.

They also thought me to never compromise and choose working out over scrolling on social media.

It’s only 30 minutes, and I’ll always do it, no matter what.

It’s all about priorities and self care, and I decided to stick to it.

Plus, being a part of the RADIATE BABES Facebook Group Board was giving me that feeling of being a part of a community.

And this small community was all about support, self care, self love and rooting each other up.

My motivation is through the roof and I can’t wait to share it with more and more of you out there!

Are You Ready For A Body Transformation?!

Of course you are!

And if I did it, anyone could do it.

All you need to do is to start!

So, go ahead and try out Week 1 Day 1 for free – your body will thank you latter :)

Don’t forget to let me know if you loved the workout!

Your body transformation is waiting for you – GO GET IT!!

Sending love!

Till next time, babe!
