WAIST TRAINING OBSESSION

Who else is leaving the hospital in a faja? I know I did! But do they really help you get your pre baby body back?? Honestly, fajas do not MAKE you lose weight but aid in weight loss routine. NOTE: HELP or MAKE; there is a huge difference. What body shapers do do is help push out all the excess liquid in your body. Think of it as squeezing a lemon. That is what it does to your body.

They do not help your skin become tighter so don't think those strechmarks will disappear from the compression. And if your skin is saggy, the body shaper will not make that go away but it will help somewhat. Body shapers do help remind your body of its original shape or ALL THAT IT COULD BE. It like a memory wrap.

I strongly recommend LATEX fajas (waist trainers) for weight loss to wear while being active.

The Prissy Latex Sport Waist Cincher gives you curves and a slimmer waist. Use consistently while being active will change the shape of your body!

Take it to the gym or for a run outside and let it add impact to your healthy lifestyle routine. Here’s how it works. You wrap the band around your midsection. This action creates compression in your core, stimulating thermal activity and ramping up perspiration. This process allows toxins and impurities to exit the skin, while mobilizing fat cells.

The cincher itself is constructed from a latex core with a soft cotton exterior and interior lining. It sits at your waist, extending to the upper abdominals. Three columns of hook-and-eye closures allow you to adjust garment to your liking.

RESULTS 

*Midsection control
*Lose 1-4 inches in 30 days
*Increased thermal activity
* Instantly reduce waist size
*Mobilizes fat cells
*Stimulates perspiration
*Accelerates weight loss through compression and sweating.

Beauty Juice Recipe

I call this juice the Beauty Juice because it is great for your skin and hair. It is the perfect snack.

I added cinnamon for metabolism. You can always sweeten with organic honey.

5 carrots

2 green apples

sprinkle of cinnamon

The Sweet Green Juice

No everyone likes the same flavors. I like the taste of greens but with a hint of sour and sweet. This is the epitome of that.

The Sweet Green Juice

2 lemons

1 green apple 

1 cup of pineapple 

2 cups of parsley 

It's simple and keeps you full. This will be my lunch today. Including lemons in every recipe assures an instant detox for your body. Get rid of those toxins naturally. After my juice I will walk about 2 miles. It is a great energy booster. You can always blend with ice and dilute with water to make a smoothie. If you ever wish for the juice to be more sweet I suggest organic honey. Honey has many benefits. After all, it is the only thing that is made naturally around the world and never goes bad.

Losing The Prego Pounds

Weighing in at 185 lbs, I gained a total of 60 lbs in my pregnancy and I do not advise anyone else to do so. Pushing was very difficult, even breathing. Plus losing the weight was even harder. All I would and still think about is getting my pre baby body back, and its not as impossible as people make it. Some lose the weight from breastfeeding, but like me, we know that is not the case. I'm here to say you can do it without latching on your baby 24/7.

This photo was taken when Victoria had just turned 3 months weighing in at 137 lbs. How did I do it? diet and exercise! low carb protein diet with no processed foods, cardio everyday, and light weight lifting 3-4 times a week. Today I am 135 lbs, still need to lose those last 10 lbs. I wanted to try something different so I decided to start Juicing!!!
