Out of all the fitness and health questions I get, this one takes the cake:⁣⁣⁣
“How do I stay consistent?”⁣⁣⁣
OR ⁣⁣⁣
“How do I eat in moderation and not end up eating the entire bag of chips?”⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Sound familiar? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You are not alone.⁣⁣⁣
I’ve helped women who have struggled with this for years, myself included.⁣⁣⁣
I’ve been overweight my entire life up until I found my passion for health.⁣⁣⁣
I know how it feels to have food control you. ⁣⁣⁣
To not want to go out with friends because you know there’s going to be pizza and cake and you might think you’ll “ruin” your diet if you ate those things because you can’t control yourself. ⁣⁣⁣
To feel like a complete failure for allowing yourself to have holiday desserts.⁣⁣⁣
To lose weight, get stuck and then gain it all back and then some. ⁣⁣⁣
Feeling like you’re just STUCK in the same place and trapped in your mind and habits. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This cycle needs to end.⁣⁣⁣
Especially with the holidays just a few weeks away. It can be hard to lose weight while still getting to enjoy your eggnog at holiday work events if you don’t have a plan. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Don’t allow yourself to go one more month with feeling this way, with staying in the same place, without seeing any change in your body but more importantly, change with your mindset.⁣⁣⁣
⁣Invest in your health the way you do other things that are important to you in your life. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣Go to the grocery store, get the foods you love but also get foods that you know are nutritious. It’s about balance and enjoying what you eat.

Studies show that working out to music can be more beneficial than you think. From the tempo to the lyrics, songs can affect performance greatly by changing one’s mindset or to get away from the outside world.

Athletes, runners, gym-goers and more from all over the world, utilize music to get themselves into the zone. An example of getting into the zone might be listening to the same warm up song each workout. This sets a habit change that ensures you’ll start your workout whether you have the motivation for it or if you’re having an off day.


However, regardless of these changes, MoCo will always be her home. Born in Rockville, she lived there for 5 years before moving to Iran for a year and then Dubai before returning home to MoCo, in Rockville at the age of 13.

“I’ve lived here for a long time since the eight-year gap; however, I don’t think much has changed. New buildings are built, and roads are fixed up. MoCo’s still the same; it’s so diverse. Culturally, scenery wise, city wise. It’s really got it all,” Paryavi said.
