Health & Happiness Health & Happiness REAL TALK by Andrea Benudiz is a page where we talk all things Nutrition, fitness, health and wellness!

Personal Trainer, Fitness Instructor, Certified Kickboxing & MMA Trainer @ Function Studios- Newmarket, Certified PN1 Nutritional Coach, Health and wellness enthusiast I wanted to create a safe place to share my journey and experience with you because I believe we all have a story to share! I will start....

In my 20’s I was over 280lbs, with so many obstacles in the way preventing me from taking care of myself, from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) diabetes, depression, anxiety and cervical cancer but most of all I am a mother of four that completely understands the importance moving your body! Now, at 45 years old and a size 8, with my health all in tact and most of my sanity (lol) I am the healthiest I’ve ever been, mentally and physically! I’m a firm believe those two go hand in hand! Fitness has always been a part of my life from a young age, despite what size I was! It wasn’t until I was in my late 30’s I decided to take my love for fitness and make a huge career change! I have my Certification for MMA and Kickboxing. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Cycle Instructor and Certified Nutrition & Wellness Coach working at a local women’s gym in Newmarket, Function Studios Inc.

✨51✨🎂✨

Things I’ve learned at 51… ❤️

✨ My body is capable of so much more than I ever imagined. It’s stronger than I thought, and I’m still discovering what it can do.

✨ There are so many things in life more important than a number on a scale. How I feel, how I move, my health, my strength, my energy, and the life I get to live.

✨ Happiness isn’t something you wait for. It’s the life you create, the relationships you nurture, the memories you make, and the things you build along the way.

✨ You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep growing, learning, and showing up for yourself.

✨ Getting older isn’t about slowing down or becoming less. It’s about becoming more YOU. Knowing what matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and having the confidence to live life on your own terms.

At 51, I’m still growing, still lifting, still learning, still dreaming, and still becoming the woman I want to be. 💪🏼❤️

The goal isn’t to look younger. (Although that would be nice 😂

It’s to feel stronger, live happier, love harder, and make the most of the life you’ve been given.

Here’s to 51 and everything still to come! 🥂

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! 🥧🍁🫶

Body dysmorphia is real and simply f**king annoying!

But it’s more than simply “not liking what you see.”

It’s looking in the mirror and seeing a version of you, that isn’t good enough

It’s a reflection of weakness, vulnerability, past trauma and soul crushing

But the reality is, it’s just a reflection.

YOU are so much more than what your mind can sometime create.

YOU are fierce, powerful, beautiful and worthy

So when you get lost in that reflection, maybe try looking at yourself the way your loved ones see you 🫶

I meal prep because the hungry version of me is SCARY AF. 😂🔥

Meal prep doesn’t have to mean spending your entire Sunday in the kitchen. Keep it SIMPLE 👇🏼

✨ Pick 2 proteins — chicken + lean ground beef
✨ Pick 2 complex carbs — sweet potato + rice
✨ Pick 2 veggies — broccoli + peppers
✨ Prep them in batches, then mix & match throughout the week so your meals don’t feel boring!

Add your favourite seasonings, sauces or toppings and create different combinations from the same basic ingredients.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s making the healthy choice the EASY choice when you’re hungry and busy. 💪🏼

Prep it. Portion it. Grab it. Go.

Because the “hungry” version of you has ZERO patience. 😂
