Meet the Week 1 Winner….ALANA (aka IG: @alana_lgfit):
Would you tell us a little bit about yourself? 
My name is Alana pronounced (ah-lay-na) 25, UW graduate, Seattle girl. I’m a paralegal at a personal injury firm, we help people that have been injured due to medical malpractice or car accidents.  I used to be fluent in Spanish (spanish major), to keep it up I watch telenovelas on the Spanish channel.
What got you into healthy living? 
I was drinking and partying too much in college, had gained some weight and was generally pretty unmotivated. I liked yoga so for my birthday one year, my dad bought me unlimited hot yoga classes for 6 months (such an awesome gift). I loved the way I felt when I was moving, stretching and pushing myself, so after college I joined a gym and learned how to lift weights. The rest is history! 
What motivates you on a daily basis? 
First and foremost my LG sisters.. some have babies, some wake up at 4 am to work out, some are working full time and going to school. They are all so inspirational. It’s hard to come up with an excuse not to get to the gym when I’m watching an LGsister do squats with a baby on her shoulders and two other kiddos buzzing around! But also what motivates me is how I feel when I take care of myself. Good food and exercise means better sleep, more energy, and confidence not only in my body but also confidence in my professional life and personal relationships. 
How has the LG Community played a role in your journey? 
It has taught me the power of accountability and support. Lifting other women up in their journeys and checking up on them is SO empowering and makes me want to push harder in my own journey for them and for me! Also I’ve acquired so many new healthy recipes and moves at the gym. It’s amazing what a resource the LG community has become to me, such a creative and resourceful group of young women!
What do you love to do outside of health and fitness?
I love cooking for my friends! My boyfriend could eat rice for every meal and be content so I always have more adventurous friends come and eat my creations. I also love going on weekend excursions to nearby cities, happy hour, Sounders games (MLS soccer), watching live music and strategy board games on rainy days.
What goals do you have for the future? 
I want to squat my body weight!!!!!!! Also I want to take up sketching/drawing, I’ve always had a knack for it but never “had the time”. What I’ve learned though is that it’s not about having the time it’s about making the time. So cliche sorry!

Do you have any advice for your fellow community members? 
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Life is unpredictable and weird and a lot of times exercise helps manage the stress and unpredictability of what comes your way but sometimes it doesn’t. The quicker you are to forgive yourself for a ‘slip-up’ (ie skipping a few workouts, or eating enormous portions of thai food, nachos and many margaritas for the day.. guilty!) the easier it is to get back on the wagon and continue to work towards your fitness goals.
Say hey to Alana, HERE

    When you give us your meal ideas, I'm just wondering, do you use those same 5 meals every day? Or is that just for 1 day?
