Do you ever get discouraged by clothing sizes? Sometimes I feel like even if I’m making progress with toning and my abs are peeking out I’m not seeing changes with my clothing size. The clothes at home fit me better but I haven’t “dropped a pant size”.

Hi Ali! Great post- you seem to hit the nail on the head with each topic you write about.

When you started your weight loss journey and getting into shape, you mentioned that you did about an hour of cardio (spinning or running). What sort of running would you do? I usually run outside but have started running on the treadmill at the gym. I am interested to know if you would do long runs or HIIT. Could you provide examples of running cardio workouts you enjoy?

Thanks!

In reply to Kayleigh J Thomas. Kayleigh, consistency is what matters in any workout routine! Just try your best to stay consistent and you don't necessarily need to follow their programs, but their programs are very well designed to help you progress, build muscle, etc. I picked workouts that fit my schedule and goals, mostly but definitely followed TIU more consistently because they have shorter workouts (ie 10, 15 minutes) and I'd do them on top of my cardio!

Unrelated, but what do you use for your lashes!? Do you have extensions or an amazingly natural looking mascara? They are gorge! Thanks 🙂

Hi Ali,

I love your blog and find your journey really motivational! I have tried both BBG and Tone It Up and I was wondering if you stuck to their schedule/program or just picked workouts that fit your schedule and goals. To be honest, I find both programs a bit overwhelming but I’m always concerned that if I don’t follow their programs to a “T” I won’t see results.

In reply to Marion. Marion, BBG is a very organized, easy printable! TIU is better if you like video instruction, they have great workout videos you can follow along to. I'd say BBG if you are traveling/at work, etc and then TIU at home/weekends!

Ali! I love your blog. Would you recommend doing TIU or BBG to try first? I am all Cardio…run or spin everyday, but I know that strength needs to be incorporated into my weekly exercise. I love the idea of TIU or BBG (real life as I was typing BBG I typed BBQ. Haha. My typing hand is sabotaging me) because I could do the 20-30 minute strength during my lunch breaks.

Anyways just looking for recommendations on which to start with and maybe how to start? Thanks!
