The 7 week challenge really couldn’t have come at a better time! I have just been feeling so heavy lately. Bloated…pudgy…overweight…you name it. Weighing in at 230 pounds on Saturday just magnified what I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve felt disgusting in my clothes lately and seeing that number on the scale just sucked! A few…
On June 21, the first day of summer, how do you want to feel? Do you want to feel comfortable in your summer clothes? Do you want to layout by the pool without your insecurities resting on your shoulders (or waist in my case)? Well it’s not too late to feel great on the first…
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I just don’t think it’s good to feel so desperate for the weekend! Shouldn’t our Monday through Friday be great enough that by the time the weekend hits it’s just a time to get things done before starting up the work week again? I’m definitely guilty…
It’s so surreal, but I saw Jillian Michaels last night on the DC leg of her Maximize Your Life tour!!! It was such a fun night and boy do I have a lot to share… Before the show, I met up with my Katy, Jessica, Becky, and Jennie at Matchbox in Chinatown. It was so…
Have you ever noticed how your mornings can affect your entire day? Do you ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed and stay on that side of the bed until it’s bedtime? What you do from the time you wake up until you leave your home can make a world of a…
Yesterday I read online that a blogger had passed away last week unexpectedly, the day after her 30th birthday. I was so sad to hear that Lorrie had passed away. So young and so determined to live a healthier life. My prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time! Lorrie’s passing really…
The 4th step in reaching a place where I could lose weight was to determine what has stopped me in the past from losing weight. At my highest weight, I was honestly in denial of how miserable I was inside my own body. I had an amazing support system, a great group of friends, and…
I love goal setting… not going to lie! I am very futuristic, so it’s easy for me to daydream, to set goals for the future, and to create a plan to reach those goals. I’ve always enjoyed sharing my monthly goals and yearly life goals with y’all, but putting my weight loss goals out there…
You can have all the tools in the world, but if you don’t have motivation then you won’t have the drive to reach your goals. Before you can establish goals, you must first reach a place where you are motivated to accomplish those goals. I think often people establish their goals first and then try…
This has been a very emotional week for me in regards to my weight loss. I have been truly frustrated and discouraged with my weight loss. When I returned from vacation last Thursday I felt gross and I knew that I had gain a lot of weight while in Texas. Though I didn’t have a…
Creating new years resolutions can be an incredibly exciting and scary thing all at the same time. You may have something on your list that you’ve always wanted to tackle and want this to be the year, but the bigger question you need to ask yourself is how to keep your resolutions. 1. Take your…
It’s that time of year! The time of year when we look to our futures and establish goals and resolutions for 2013. So how many of you want to get into better shape this year? How many of you want to lose weight? How many of you want to tackle something you haven’t been able…
Since moving in together and getting married, Neal and I have had to learn how important it is to be a true fitness partner. I asked Neal what it means to be a fitness partner and what kind of support he needs to be successful and this was his response. “Being a fitness partner, to…
I absolutely adore my sister Alison. Our relationship has grown and changed so much over the years. Being 9 years apart, there were times when I couldn’t always turn to my sister for advice (she was 11 and I was 20) but now as adults, our age gap doesn’t matter. Last night I called my…
I can’t tell y’all how happy I am to be writing y’all from my home this morning. The Federal Government closed today because of hurricane Sandy, which was the catalyst for several other closings like my employer and the Washington Metro Rail System. Today I wanted to take some time to share about one of…
