Balance

I feel like everything in life is about balance. I know I am very into fitness and being healthy but I am also a girl who loves to eat pizza, tacos, her rice & beans so depriving myself from these foods is always hard for me. I do try to eat as healthy possible. I do not drink anything but water and protein smoothies. NO CANDY, NO CHIPS or JUNK food  (I do eat cupcakes & brownies here and there) but see I won't eat a cupcake every time bake or I won't eat a burger for lunch and then have rice and beans for dinner. Always try to make sure whatever you're eating has some nutritional value instead of just eating what we call empty calories (foods with no nutritional value) It is all about balancing your meals so you won't find it hard to eat better or want to give up on being in shape. For example if I know my mom is making rice & beans for dinners I'll have a salad for lunch or I'll make sure its leg day because the extra carbs are necessary. Or sometimes you just have to skip out of the rice & beans and have some veggies or serve yourself a bigger portion of veggies and a little bit of rice. I am not sponsored by a fitness company nor do I breathe, eat, live fitness as much as I would like to, I am a regular girl just trying to be in shape and feel confident with herself and I am just trying the best that I can.
