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…
End of week 2! Can you believe it? I truly hope that you had a great week and that you were able to see changes from the first week in the challenge. My second week was completely different from the first! I changed a lot of things, starting with my mentality. On Sunday, I took…
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…
Woo Hoo!! We’ve reached the end of week 1! I hope this was a great first week for you and no matter the outcome, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to reflect on the past 7 days. For me, Week 1 of the 7 week challenge was just that, a challenge. What I haven’t…
As a teenager, my perception of what was beautiful was skewed by what I thought society saw as beautiful. As a 15 year old, beautiful was skinny, tall, had long blonde hair, and wore a 36C. When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t see beauty. I saw a girl who was overweight, insecure, and…
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…
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…
A few weeks ago, I was on Amazon in search of something that would help me connect with my eating habits, while also giving me advice on how to change those habits. Hundreds of books popped up, from compulsive overeating to emotional eating, but one book stood out. I liked the cover, loved the title,…
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…
Well the awesome train kept on rolling yesterday!! Yesterday was a absolutely perfect day for me on the diet and exercise front!!! I drank 4 Nalgene water bottles (128 oz), ate 1,611 calories (under my 1800 calories goal), and enjoyed every second of the 45 minute spin class I took! Here’s a break down of…
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…
