Tomorrow marks the start of the Best Body Bootcamp summer program! I am incredibly excited about this program, and now that I’ve had some time to digest everything, I thought I would share my plan and my goals for the 8 weeks. As a visual learner, I decided to create a binder for the 8…
As the subheading of my blog states, this is a Life and Fitness Blog. A blog in which I share my life with you; my goals, my travels, my eats, my adventures AND my fitness. Since starting this blog back in 2011, weight loss has been a large portion of my life and thus I’ve…
Yesterday was not my finest day. To be honest, I didn’t put the time in to plan out my day nor did I follow through with the semi plan I created during the day. It started off great with a smoothie. I combined frozen tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, strawberries, and kiwi) with 1 scoop of…
We’re half way through the second week of the 7 week challenge!! Just a little over 5 weeks until the first day of summer y’all. This week I’ve made some pretty big changes to my lifestyle and diet and no matter what the scale says on Friday, I’m feeling pretty great. I’ve made 3 simple…
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…
Today is the official kickoff of the 7 week challenge. Over the next 7 weeks I invite you to make a change. Change your habits. Change your diet. Change your workouts. Change your life. Come June 21, the first day of summer, I hope you’ll well better about yourself and your life, ready to enjoy…
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…
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…
At the end of a long week I think it’s important to look around and smell the roses. I want to make more of an effort to share “what’s got me smiling” just as much as I share some of the challenges I may be facing. This was a tough week but I still have…
Getting myself into a weight loss midset was difficult after the holidays, but the steps I have taken since then have really gotten me into the zone! Step 1 – Be real with where I’m at Step 2 – Find my motivation Step 3 – Establish weight loss goals Step 4 – Acknowledge what has…
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…
My first step in arriving at a place where I can lose weight is to be honest about where I am at. My sister often encourages me to stop thinking about the weight I’ve lost in the past (or have gained) and instead to focus on the here and now. I have to start viewing…
Yesterday for lunch I ran down to the salad bar at my work. Some days my packed lunch just isn’t appealing so it’s nice that there are some healthy options nearby. Subway is usually my go to when I forget my lunch but the Greens salad bar is a place I always forget about. I…
Late last week I talked to a friend of mine who is a bodybuilder about my weight loss and the plateau I’ve faced over the past 2 years. My friend challenged me to track my eats through My Fitness Pal for a few days, that way he could look over my calorie, protein, carb, and…
