So today I tackled my dressers and closets for the FOURTH purge since I started this journey. Now everything I own either fits or will soon and nothing is too big. For the last three purges I kept things because I was worried I’d gain it back or not be comfortable wearing things that actually…

Transformation Tuesday
Eeep! Scary post! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a Transformation Tuesday of my own to share, mainly because the scale hasn’t been going down and I didn’t want to just post past progress. I recently went to Cancun, as many of you know, and finally put on the first bikini I’ve ever worn in…
One year wrap-up in 905 words ^_^
So today marks one year since I started this weight loss journey and decided to change my lifestyle to a healthier one FOR GOOD. Though I did my first 21 Day Fix workout on February 24, 2014, I have to backtrack a little bit to when my challenge pack first arrived. There was one bigger…

Reflection on 2014 and Best Wishes for 2015
When 2014 started, I honestly didn’t have any expectations of the coming year. I gave up on New Year’s Resolutions a long time ago! But when I think back over the last 364 days, I realize there were a lot of monumental changes in my life this year. Not only did I finally get my…
YEAR END RESULTS!
10 months, 47 pounds, 38 inches down…18 pounds to go until my ultimate goal weight! For those of you that don’t use pictures or measurements as motivation, you should start! The scale isn’t the only place to see changes…and sometimes it can really work against you and be very unmotivating. See it and feel it….
Common Misconceptions
One of my first blog posts was called “The Ugly Truth” and though it was filled with lots of useful information, I felt it necessary to revisit some of those ideas, and also some common misconceptions that many have regarding health, fitness, weight loss, Beachbody, and Shakeology. Misconception #1: You have to eat less to lose weight….
That time of year…
The holidays are here and if you’re anything like me (and millions of others), you’re confronted with temptations daily. It is also the time of year that most people start thinking about what they have accomplished in the past 11 months and begin making resolutions for the next year. And though I tend to focus…
21 Day Fix, Round 3, Week 1
Finished week one with NO CHEATS! Got my workout in every day, plus trying to hit at least 7500 steps a day. Lost 3.8 pounds this week! Not measuring or doing photos until after the 21 days (the after pictures in my heading are the befores for this round). Also was finally able to BIND…
See Cat Run
Well, here we are…week 12. Three days away from my first half marathon. I posted weekly updates until week 4, then combined weeks 5 and 6, finally giving up posting about it altogether for some reason. I figured I needed to document everything, even minimally, just so I can remember this in the future! I…
