Ups and Downs

I am continuing to lose the weight guys!!! I posted a status on my Facebook page {located here} about how after 6 weeks I am down 13lbs and 18lbs of fat, which is the most I have lost in that span of time in my life. I am not sure I can emphasize this enough. I … Continue reading

Three Weeks Later

Alright my pretties! I saw my nutritionist yesterday in a follow up appointment after my first visit. I’ve had a cold (or maybe allergies now?) for almost 2 weeks. I haven’t been active the way I wish I had been, but I still lost weight (yay!) and fat (double yay!). In total I’ve lost 6lbs … Continue reading

Figuring It Out

Does it feel like I have been spinning in circles for a year? Because it has to me. It is the one-year anniversary of me quitting my full-time job and tackling doing photography 75% of the time {I moonlight at Starbucks for benefits}. Looking back, the past year has been rockier than anticipated, there were … Continue reading

Constipated

Really? I am naming my blog post “constipated”?? Yeah, this weekend kind of sucked. I woke up Saturday with a pained belly and the inability to poop. It was from out of nowhere! I have never been constipated in my life, so I was kind of shell shocked. And in mild pain. I tried to … Continue reading

Stride

It’s only Tuesday and my body is already like WTF. Last night’s workout was madness. Madnessssss!!! There was a 35 minute timecap, and I am proud to report that I got that shit done in just over 33 minutes. I did scale and I walked some of the running bc my heel was starting to talk, … Continue reading

Bad Food = World o Pain

Shaun’s visit was a massive amount of fun!! Was it compliant to my goals? Ummmmm…no. Let me just be honest about it. I had a little bit of sugar {and freaked out about it}, a little bit of wheat and maybe a glass of wine. And let me tell you, my body fully rejected it … Continue reading

Temptation Island

Last week was both good and challenging. I am settling into a nice pattern with my workouts that look like this: Crossfit Monday and Wednesday; Kickboxing Thursday; running or walking everyday but Tuesday, and on the weekends I aim for 2 miles each day. My calves are getting tighter, so I need to stretch them … Continue reading

Summer’s Here!

Sure it’s May, but by living in Houston, it’s warm and wonderful here already. My husband and I have decided this Memorial Day long weekend is one of bathing suit, pools and BBQ. It’s been lovely!! After a week of feeling crappy, this has been great. Lots of sleep and sun. One of the neat … Continue reading

Whole30 {60}: Halfway Results

The results are in!! I have to say I was skeptical on whether I would see the same results from this as I did the first time, and although they are slightly lower, it’s splitting hairs, and the good news is that I am losing inches in areas that are a health concern for me, so … Continue reading

Whole 30 {60}: Lessons from First 30 Days

This Whole30 has been a totally different experience than my previous one. First–I was already making food for my meals, so I didn’t miss a beat there. What I did do was try new recipes, and they were all winners. Korean Short Ribs, Chicken Meatballs in a homemade Marinara sauce, Almond Milk, Cauliflower Dirty Rice and … Continue reading
