My Fitness Journey - Updated
In July 2023 I decided that I was tired of feeling tired, sluggish, and not able to fit into my clothes. I was ready to make a change. I made a commitment to myself and refused to quit.
Here are the steps that I took to heal my body and initially lose 30 lbs!
I started walking one hour every single day. I have continued this habit ever since. Walking has so many health benefits. Check out my blog post HERE on the Benefits of Walking.
I also started drinking more water every day. I now fill up my 40 oz tumbler 3-4 times a day!
Priortizing rest was also essential in my journey. As a night owl, it has always been hard for me to get to bed early. I strive now to get 7-8 hours a night, and it has truly made a difference!
Once I decided to go all-in on this fitness journey, I tried some new supplements that a friend had recommended. I now swear by my YU supplements. These supplements help with bloating, increased energy, and control my cravings! Check out my blog post HERE on which YU supplements that I take daily. I started with Trim Fit and Protect Probiotics. This combo helped me to drop 30 lbs and keep it off. In 2025, YU launched a new product, Control. This product is a stronger appetite control and contains no caffeine. I was able to drop an additional 5 lbs after adding the Control. I drink Trim in the morning to give me the energy and appetite control I need to start my day. I love the Control in the afternon/evenings to help with those late night cravings without the jolt of caffeine.
I highly recommend starting with either Trim or Control and the Probiotics. So many women are having amazing success from these products! Code KALEE15 saves on the whole site, including discounted bundles and subscriptions.

Along with the above, I switched up my workout routine. Instead of working out six days a week, I now lift weights three to four days a week with the MOVES app. I personally follow the Daily Moves program but any of them are great.

I also decided to buckle down and became very strict with my high protein diet! I had my macros professionally calculated to find out exactly what my calories, fats, carbs, and protein intake should be! I highly recommend it if you can get your macros calculated.

Many have asked how I’ve been able to maintain this weight loss for 3 years now. The answer is pretty simple. I have kept up all of these habits that I initially put into place to lose the weight. I still walk every single day for an hour. I still workout 3-4 times a week. I still track my eating (although I did increase my macros to a maintenance amount vs. a deficit amount). I still take my same supplements daily. The Trim and Control continue to quiet my food noise so I can maintain my weight. I won’t pretend that there is some magic way to lose the weight and go back to your previous habits. It has to be lasting changes, but it is so worth it to feel your best every day.
If you choose to order any of my YU supplements that I mentioned above, I have a support group where we do monthly challenges and giveaways. You are welcome to join the group HERE.
