Makeover series (Jennifer Moltan)

I really enjoy sharing empowering stories from amazing women with all of you. I might just have to turn this hobby into something else. The possible ideas are endless...For now here's another wonderful makeover story.
Meet Jennifer Moltan from Gulfport, Mississippi. A mother of two sweet wonderful kids, married to a sailor, and living in Japan. She's 33 years old, super funny and down to earth.
Jennifer did a 30 day challenge based on a Paleo diet and won for most noticeable changes in a before and after photo. The prize Jen won included a photo session, hair and makeup. She has lost over 20 pounds, and continues working hard to lose more. I hope you enjoy her makeover.


Before-After

Medical history of Diabetes, High blood pressure, and Cholesterol run in her family. She decided it was time to make some changes and started exercising and eating healthier.

Next are a couple more questions I asked her.

Has food played a big role in your weight loss?
HUGE. If you want to lose weight it's 80 percent of what you eat and 20 percent exercise. You are what you eat. I'm a coke.

What part of your body do you like the most and why?
My hands because they feed and clean me.

What is your favorite exercise?
CrossFit. I love the challenge.


There were pretty flowers all along our walk to the park where the photo session took place.





What was the most recent compliment/comment about your body?
My friend told me my legs were looking more defined in muscle.



What keeps you motivated?
When I flex and see how awesome my muscles are. CHA-CHING!!!



 I think that B/W pictures give an old glam look. Kind of makes her look like a famous movie star don't you think?








Do you have tips for others?

Eat well and exercise. Your body will thank you later for it.

One of her favorite quotes "You have to take the good with the bad, smile when your sad, love what you got and remember what you had... Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret, people change,things go wrong, just remember, life goes on…" ~Unknown

Tokyo Banana

I need a cup of coffee every morning. I usually have it before eating breakfast. Today was a little bit different. I indulged on my last deliciously sweet treat I brought from Japan =(

 I can't handle how adorable the packaging is. 




That giraffe pattern is so cute. 

If you ever visit Japan you MUST try their delicious pastries. Have a great day. Until next time.

With love,

Tamara
