Lacey Nobles
30 years old
45 pounds lost
When and why did you decide to start your
weight loss journey?
I
started my weight loss journey in January of 2014. I started because my self-esteem
was low and I was tired of not having energy. It had been a very long time
since I was happy with myself and my body. I was going through a lot of
struggles during that time of my life so I decided it was a new year and to put
myself first and start on my journey. I had struggled several times trying to
get a good workout going and eating healthier. I would lose some weight and put
it back on. That summer I completed the 60 day Insanity program and had awesome
results. It not only made me feel better but it boosted my confidence knowing I
could complete such a hard program and lose the weight without yo-yo dieting.
What keeps you motivated along your
journey?
The way
my clothes fit. I have gone down several sizes in clothes. I feel more
confident and happy. When I lose my motivation I just look at my pics when I
first started and remind myself of how unhappy I was when I first started.
What are your fitness goals?
I would
like to lose the last 5-10 pounds or just get more tone. I should be proud
because this is my weight when I was 19 years old.
What does your weekly exercise schedule
look like?
I
decided to start Insanity Max. I love all Shaun T workouts. Insanity Max is 6
days a week and I also integrate running and hiking with that workout.
What nutritional goals do you strive for?
I have a
hard time eating completely healthy because I am such a picky eater. I would
like to eat more protein and add more vegetables in my diet. I have gone more
towards a clean eating diet. I do still allow myself to cheat every now and
then so I don't feel deprived.
What “tips and / or tricks” do you have
for others?
The
hardest part is to be able to change your mind frame and tell yourself that you
CAN do it. Unfortunately, when you’re unhappy with your weight and how you feel
our brains tell us; this is the way it is, you can't do that, and so many more
negative comments. I’m here to tell you that you CAN do it. Whether you go to
the gym, workout at home, go running, etc. you have to make the step in the
right direction. When you wake up sore or tired and you don't want to work out
tell yourself don't let the negativity win because in that situation once you work
out you will be proud and know that you did it. Tell yourself that you are
worth it! Always take one step at a time. Start with small goals to achieve
your biggest goal. Treat or reward yourself along the way.
How has your life changed since the start
of your weight loss journey?
I am without
a doubt so much happier. I feel confident in my clothes. I have been able to
motivate others struggling in their journeys. Yesterday I went through all my
clothes and got rid of all of them that were too big and no longer fit. I will
never go back to that weight or the unhappy person I was.
What are some of your favorite
motivational thoughts and / or quotes that inspire you?
In my
bathroom I placed a cork board on the wall. I have placed motivational quotes,
pictures, and old pictures of myself to see every morning knowing how far I
have come and the motivation to keep going. There aren't any specific quotes I
like. I would tell you to make yourself a motivational board where you can see
it every day.
