Hello everyone welcome back to Fitbody Happy Joins. My name is Shannon. Today is the third installment of our

100th episode celebration where I'm taking some of the best podcast episodes from the past, summarizing them, maybe adding

different twists and putting them all together into different buckets.

So today we're going to talk about body composition. I've talked a lot on the

podcast and also a little bit on social media about my own journey with body

re-composition over the last year. So I gained about five pounds of muscle and I also lost

a little bit of fat over a one year period. And I truly believe that I did this in a healthy

sustainable way. I didn't under eat and I really tried to make sure I was eating enough food, especially enough protein. I got a lot of awareness around what I was eating and when and making sure I was eating enough.

Restriction does not work for me.

I definitely have been there where I was overeating during the week,

over exercising, and then all the weekends I would just like binge.

And then I would turn around on Monday and try to

punish myself by adding more exercise and under eating and again I would get to the weekend

and I'd just be starving and I would just eat everything so honestly it just does not work for me and I also want to live my life

We travel a lot and I love to go out to eat

I love ice cream and mararitas, and I just honestly feel like I'm in such a better

space around food than I was, you know, five years ago when I was really in that pattern of

restricting, over-exercising, under-eating, and then kind of

binging on the weekends.

I also don't over-exercise, and this is something

again is really important to me because I've been there

with doing way too much and having all this
