Welcome Everyone! Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Terrie, a plus-size certified personal trainer at the WrestleFit Training Center, and I’m so excited to be part of your fitness journey. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take things to the next level, I’m here to support you every step of the way! 💪 Starting a new workout routine can feel overwhelming, so here are 3 key points to help you kick off your journey the right way: 1. Take Measurements, Not Just Weight Your body is going to change in amazing ways! Sometimes, the scale doesn’t show the full picture, so grab a tape measure and track your progress through measurements. You’ll notice changes in your body shape and muscle definition long before you see big changes on the scale. 2. Hide the Scale Speaking of scales—don’t obsess over it! Focus on how you feel, how your clothes fit, and the improvements in your strength and endurance. The scale doesn’t define your progress; your daily wins do! 3. Prioritize Sleep Rest is just as important as working out. Aim for quality sleep every night because that’s when your body recovers and rebuilds. You’ll feel more energized, focused, and ready to crush your workouts! I’m here to help you navigate this journey, so feel free to reach out anytime. Let's make some big things happen together! 🙌

For me, it's all about mobility and flexibility, especially after having spine and knee surgery. I had to literally learn how to walk and climb stairs all over again, which has been a huge challenge—but also a rewarding journey. Rebuilding my balance and quad strength has taken time, patience, and a lot of focus. But the progress I’m making feels amazing! Every small victory, whether it's taking the stairs with more confidence or feeling more stable on my feet, reminds me how far I’ve come. 💪 It’s still a work in progress, but I’m getting stronger and more mobile every day, and that feels like a win! Anyone else working on mobility and flexibility? Let’s keep pushing forward together! 🏋️‍♀️

Let’s be real—strict diets just aren’t for me. I’ve tried them, and every time, I end up feeling restricted and eventually going off track. I’m all about sustainability and balance. Instead of being 100% strict, I’ve found that aiming for “good, better, best” choices gives me the flexibility to stay on course long-term without feeling deprived. Here's how it works: Good: Making Smarter, Easy Choices This level is about taking small steps to improve what you're already doing. These are manageable changes that don’t feel overwhelming and are easy to stick with. - Meal Idea: Instead of a fast-food burger and fries, opt for a grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad or fruit. - Snack Idea: Trade that bag of chips for a handful of nuts or some veggies and hummus. - Beverage Idea: Swap sugary sodas for flavored water or tea without added sweeteners. - Better: Adding More Nutrition Once you’ve made those “good” choices a habit, you can take it a step further by focusing on adding more whole foods, nutrients, and variety. - Meal Idea: Choose lean protein (like grilled chicken or fish), add a complex carb (quinoa, sweet potato), and load up on veggies. - Snack Idea: Try Greek yogurt with fresh berries or a protein-packed smoothie instead of sugary snacks. - Beverage Idea: Stick with water or add in some green tea for extra antioxidants. Best: Maximize Your Nutrition This is the level where you're making the best possible choices for your body. It’s not about perfection, but about maximizing nutrition when it makes sense for you. - Meal Idea: A balanced plate of lean protein, a variety of colorful veggies, healthy fats like avocado or nuts, and complex carbs like brown rice or quinoa. - Snack Idea: A homemade energy ball made with oats, peanut butter, and a bit of dark chocolate—full of nutrients and satisfying. - Beverage Idea: Water, water, and more water! Aim to keep it your primary drink throughout the day. Why I Love This Approach: Instead of feeling like I’m "failing" if I don’t stick to a strict diet, I focus on progress—not perfection. Some days, a “good” choice is enough, and that’s okay! Other days, I might make a “better” or “best” decision when I’m feeling more motivated.
