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…
Support, Encourage, Admire
I’ve seen this a couple of different places recently, and it really resonated with me. It’s so so so true. And for lots of different reasons. I don’t want anyone to think what I’m about to cover is singling any one person out, because I’ve heard this stuff multiple times from many different people…bear with…
Never Give Up!!
NEVER GIVE UP! I want to share why… I visited my mother in Florida three days after my first round of the 21 Day Fix and we realized this last weekend that she never sent me the pictures. The picture on the left was taken March 22nd. The picture on the right was taken October…
Half Marathon Training – Weeks 5 & 6 Update
Sorry I’ve been kind of distant lately…work has been a little hectic, then we had house guests two weekends in a row! My training is going great!! Week 5 my shorter runs were 4 miles, which I completed in 36:08 and 35:48. My longer run was supposed to be 6 miles, but I figured that…
Half Marathon Training – 4 week update
So this week was great for my shorter runs but my longer run was a little more disappointing. Repeated last week’s distances, so my shorter ones were 3.5 and my longer run today was 5 miles again. This week’s shorter runs came in at 31:29 and 31:20, which was better than last week’s 31:41 and…
Half Marathon Training – 3 week update
Week three is in the books! Increased to 3.5 miles on the shorter run days, and 5 miles today for the longer run! Did strength training with PiYo on Monday, took my rest day Wednesday and walked Friday instead, and did a shorter walk yesterday. I ended up adjusting my diet a little bit, too,…
FORTY POUNDS!
Well, today I finally did it…I crossed 40 pounds of weight loss! I’m super excited and am now less than 25 pounds away from my ultimate goal! 🙂 I owe it all to Beachbody, Shakeology, the 21 Day Fix, T25, PiYo, Turbofire and everyone that has supported me along the way ^_^
Progress and advice from nineteen weeks in…
Yesterday marked 19 weeks on my weight loss and fitness journey so far. A little less than 4 1/2 months. And today I finally hit my next milestone when the scale dropped below 180. It’s hard to believe that 19 weeks ago I was 35 pounds heavier, and at least 26 inches larger overall (stat day…
You are what you eat!
One of the questions I get the most is, “What have you been eating?” And you’d be surprised how much I actually do eat! It’s a common misconception that you have to eat LESS to lose weight…when in fact you need to eat so much MORE than you ever expected! The difference is WHAT you are eating/drinking!…
