Fit Vlog July 8th

Not my best week but hey, I actually did a little research after filming this and there is an important reason why women crave carbs so bad during that time and they are actually essential for regulating healthy female hormones. women who follow low carb diets can have irregular periods and even lose them entirely which is super damaging on a womens body especially as she ages. while it isn't good to binge on carbs all the time, it is okay right before and during your period because your body actually needs them. But it is smart to make your own healthy baked goods or eat lots of fruit and whole foods instead of too many prepackaged items.

Fitness Vlog June 24

Definitely not a good week for me, had some high calorie foods the pizza was the worst. But I have not had a pizza since April so I feel okay having a splurge. Plus I killed it at the gym this week. Hopefully next week will be better but according to my track record next week is supposed to be my worst week so I better stock up on healthy cheats for those pre period cravings.
