Living a balanced, healthy life is just as much about taking the time to cut yourself some slack, as it is working hard and seeing results."

Lee Tilghman — @leefromamerica
A huge part of a healthy lifestyle is what you eat. Lee always delivers when it comes to recipe ideas (completely clean of course!) and meal-prep tips. Plus, she reminds her followers that exercise should stem from self-love not self-hate.
"I don’t work out to burn calories, I work out to build confidence," she shared on Instagram. "I don’t work out to lose weight, I work out to reach my potential. I don’t work out to punish myself… As soon as we start the viewing exercise as a way to make ourselves FEEL good rather than beating ourselves up, it becomes a heck of a lot more enjoyable AND more sustainable."
