Thinspo and Fitspo–Helpful or Hurtful?

I have both a Tumblr account and a Pinterest account and I really enjoy pinning/reblogging pictures of the fitness persuasion that “speak” to me. At first there were a ton, and it made me feel motivated, but soon I found myself struggling to connect with the pictures I was seeing or the sayings that went … Continue reading

First Short Term Goal Results

On December 2st, I set forth some short term goals that I wanted to use to help me through a difficult weekend of eating, while being away from my home and therefore eating out.

6 Weeks Later (RESULTS!)

Hello avid readers! Today, a day early, I got weighed and measured. I didn’t want to come back after a weekend in Austin, after eating a steak dinner tonight and eating out tomorrow.

Well it really felt like I pressed the STOP button if you want the truth. Friday night I had my friend Tillie over and I made … Continue reading

Pooped

I am pooped. After working four days in a row (equaling 36 hours), plus working out with Jacquie and doing cardio on my own, I am just dead. I have a workout on my schedule for today and I am just not feeling it at all. I just want to sleep. Here is the difference … Continue reading

Bah! This week I started some new workouts, thanks to Jacquie. I needed this because I was bored in my old one. But let me tell you! I have been so sweaty and gross this week! Monday I worked out on the elliptical machine for 40 minutes, alternating between level 4 and 8. I was … Continue reading
