Better Days

 
     (I lost an epic water fight lol).

     Hey everybody, long time no post! Well I've been keeping busy working like a dog this summer. I'm graduating college in four months and I'm looking forward to it. I just want to say thanks to everyone who keeps on reading the blog despite my lack of posts the past couple of months. I'm in a great space in my life. I'm happy, healthy, and I know it only gets better from here. In terms of my diet and exercise, I've been pretty consistent. I must say, it's pretty hard to maintain healthy eating habits during the summer. Nobody wants to cook on a hot stove in 86 degree weather!! Luckily, I've been doing just fine. Eating more fruits and veggies, and less junk food (except on Sundays). My workout regiment has consisted of running and doing the Insanity workout program. Let me tell you, running hills in the heat is no joke! But cardio is the best way to lose weight and trim up. This past week, I've gone back to lifting weights and pushing myself. Also, I do about 100-150 pushups a day, about 50 before I go to bed. A couple times this week I've done two workouts a day. When I'm focused and determined, you can't tell me nothing! I may still complain about wanting the six-pack abs, but now I just want to be healthy and happy. I can see some results already, so I'm gonna keep going from here. Everybody that's still on the journey to weight-loss and healthy living, just keep going. If I can do it, you can too!

Continuing the Journey

Hey guys, I'm baaaaaaaaack!!! I've been incredibly busy of course but very thankful that people are still interested in my blog and reading. I'm still on the weight-loss journey and trying to better my body and mind. It is still an uphill battle, mostly because I make it that way. When I get stressed, I tend to eat any and everything in sight. Even when I'm not stressed, I eat food because it's there. My sweet tooth is still there lingering around. My underlying problem is that when I allow myself a treat, I indulge and go wayyyy overboard. Last weekend was a hot mess. I had two pints of ice cream to myself, a box of thin mint girl scout cookies (which I am CONVINCED that they are laced with crack cocaine), mcdonald's, cans of arizona, a calzone, cookies and more cookies. I was just as bad on my vacation in Las Vegas. I saw some pictures of myself and thought wooo boy I look huggge.  It's a vicious cycle of me indulging then beating myself up over it. Now, I'm trying to stop the madness. I have to watch what I eat and not be afraid to have a treat ever so often, but just that ONE treat. Not only that, but my exercise game has been taken up a notch. I've been lifting more weights and getting on that jump rope cardio. I really wanna feel good about myself and look the part as well. I'm still on the Slim & Sexy Campaign, but I may have to add Health somewhere in there. At the end of the day, my health is more important than how I look in a certain shirt. That's the one thing that I want everyone to take into consideration: Let's get healthy and stay that way. For those who are sticking by my side and supporting me, the journey continues...
