If you think it is time to give up as you are not noticing instant results despite working out and eating healthy food, meet Sunday Philips! Although it took her four years, the transformation she has achieved is mind-blowing and has won legendary boxer Late Muhammad Ali‘s daughter Laila Ali‘s praise.

Well, inspiring is an understatement for the fitness journey of the 61-year-old entrepreneur and CEO of Black Girls Wealth, Sunday Philips. At the age of 57, Philips was completely out of shape and looked exhausted from life. However, as fitness is the key to life, the entrepreneur started lifting weights. It took her four long years. But, as the saying goes “hard work forever pays.” And now her jaw-dropping transformation will encourage thousands.

More importantly, at 61 now, just like her name suggests, Sunday looks much happier and positive. Her entire physique is beaming with energy and love for life. In this connection, after Funky Plant-Based, a Healthy Food Restaurant owned by Sunday shared her impressive transformation on Instagram, it came to Laila Ali‘s notice. And like everyone else, the former WIBA and WBC Super-Middleweight champion celebrated Philips’ laudable achievement.

Taking to Instagram stories, with so much warmth, sharing Sunday Philips’ transformation, Laila Ali wrote in the captions, “You have to be willing to DO THE WORK mentally and physically.” There is no doubt that one will achieve their goal if one only has the desire to walk the miles. But, what does Philips’ story highlight? Exercise and a healthy diet are key to a happier life. Speaking of which, it is worth mentioning that Laila Ali regularly promotes healthy eating on her Instagram account.

The Laila Ali way to stay healthy!

What you eat and how you carry yourself contribute greatly to your mental and physical health. According to Laila Ali, one can control one’s health just by making the right lifestyle choices which include healthy eating, exercise, and meditation. “Eating clean, NON-GMO whole foods and purchasing the highest-quality ingredients that your budget allows are big factors for wellness. Investing in high-quality supplements and vitamins is also key,” Laila Ali once advised.

Speaking of how she takes the best care of her family, Ali also said that she makes it a point to make her family members “drink smoothies, take vitamins, and eat organic NON-GMO foods.” “Fear alone can weaken your immune system. So again, being in control of your health and mindset is powerful and healing in itself,” she had added.

So, you can see it is not that hard to maintain a healthy life. All it takes is will and some discipline. With that said, what do you have to say about Sunday Philips’ inspiring journey? Do you think it is deserving of Laila Ali’s attention? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
