Rebel Wilson shared how she stays motivated during her weight loss journey.
The actress turns her tough days around by going on a walk in nature, listening to motivational podcasts, and staying hydrated.
Wilson has been holding herself accountable to her fitness goals on social media and has lost about 40 pounds this year.
Rebel Wilson has been working so hard to meet her wellness goals this year, but the Cats star recently admitted that it’s not always easy to stay motivated. (Anyone who has been trying to keep up with their workouts during quarantine can confirm that.)
Wilson, who has lost about 40 pounds this year with various lifestyle changes, admitted that she was having a bad day in a candid Instagram. The 40-year-old actress, rocking a sports bra and leggings in the animated photo, also revealed how she turned her day around.
“Started off having a bad day 🤢 but took myself on a giant walk, listening to some motivational podcasts and audiobooks (currently @antmiddleton The Fear Bubble) out in gorgeous nature...drank water...and you know what, feel soooo much better now,” she wrote in the caption. “We all have tough days but take a beat, take a nap, and then get back out there and continue to crush 😘.”
Wilson has been keeping fans updated on her fitness journey on Instagram, and her trainer Jono Castano Acero told Today that he encouraged the star to do so. This helped Wilson hold herself accountable on social media, which she’s been doing since she announced 2020 as her “Year of Health” in January.
“Rebel has been posting for the whole 2020 about her journey, the ups and downs,” the trainer said, adding that he checks in with the actress often about her progress. “It’s not just about 45 minutes with a person. It’s about 24 hours, checking in.”
Wilson also told Drew Barrymore that turning 40 this year motivated her to make changes in her life after suffering from emotional eating.
“I never really focused on my health, which was probably obvious. I was going all around the world jet-setting everywhere and eating a ton of sugar,” she said, adding that she had been following a carb-heavy diet. “That was kind of my vice. I have a very sweet tooth. I love desserts.”
Wilson, who is now reportedly following the Mayr Method Diet, says she feels “so much healthier now” but made it clear that the road to better health is an ongoing process. “It doesn’t mean every week is a healthy week,” Wilson told People. “Some weeks are just write-offs, and there’s nothing you can do about that.”
“I'm just trying to go for overall balance, overall healthy balance,” she continued. “I have this state of being, which is not my quote, but I go ‘Nothing is forbidden.’ We’ll be like, ‘Should we get In-N-Out burger?’ And I’m like, ‘Nothing is forbidden.’ I can go there, I just might eat half of what I used to eat before. You know? And I’ll have a burger, and a few fries, and then you feel fine.”
Keep going, Rebel!
