Looking at life through a different lens
Reading Time: 4 minutes It’s been about a month since I’ve written on here, but let’s be honest, that was a recipe – that’s not real writing. I’ve said it before on Facebook more recently, but here as well – I write when I feel compelled. I write when I feel it’s the most beneficial to me. I feel […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Today I completed the first week of Bikini Body Guide by Kayla Istines. It has been a great week in the gym and in the kitchen. When I first decided to purchase the 12-week program, I really had no idea what to expect. I honestly thought it was going to be a joke, but I […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes I saw this video the other day that really made me think about how I talk to myself and about myself. The video, created by Dove, asked women to write down what they say to themselves when they are mean to themselves. They then took the journal entries and asked two actresses to act them […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes I used to hate Mondays. If I could, I would sleep through Monday, skip over Tuesday and start my week on Wednesday, but I’m sure I would dislike Wednesdays then too. Not everyone is a morning person and I have my moments of dragging ass too, but last year I started doing my workouts in […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute Short and sweet. Tonight’s post is all about the important numbers on mind. 5 weeks until my show. I can’t believe it’s almost here. I’m practically in disbelief. I have been busting my butt like crazy all summer. 23 pounds down. I can’t believe that since June 12th I’ve lost 23 pounds. I’m now a […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute I got my results from last nights 5K! Out of 181 participants I was number 108. In my age division I was number 12 out of 22 females ages 20 to 29. Out of all females I was 52 out of 109. My official time was 31:26. The fastest time was 16:55 by a 35 […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute I’ve lost about 12 pounds in the first 35 days of this crazy adventure, and with 28 pounds to go and a little less than 16 weeks, I’m deciding to be a little daring. I’ve always relied heavily on cardio to shed pounds, but aside from my new Beachbody DVD set, I’m going to be […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes This weekend was amazing and upsetting all at the same time. After work on Friday I went out to Boston for the night and met amazing people. Over the course of the night I became frustrated and happy all at once. I got to spend time with a pretty awesome person, who may have acted […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Happy Sunday! After a crazy week last week, I finally have some control over my days. Today I did some meal prep for the first half of the week. Lunches and dinners are prepared up until Wednesday. I may need to pick up some more produce, but I also have a sufficient amount of fruit […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute I’m still not feeling very good and in all honesty, for someone who hasn’t been to the gym in days, I feel like a boulder was dropped on me. I’m kind of frustrated that my workout plans were kind of foiled because of how I’m feeling. I know many people would say push through it […]
