Sometimes quitting is a good thing

January 22, 2018

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but happy 2018! It has been for me, thus far. What is new in my life? Let me fill you in... I have challenged myself to workout at least once every day for 100 days IN A ROW! NO BREAKS! And I am currently on day 22, so needless to say, I am sticking with it and I plan to finish and keep going! Working out has changed so much for me. I need way less caffeine. My quality of sleep has improved tremendously. I am down 10 pounds. I am so much more upbeat and positive. The rewards of this challenge have been astonishing so far. I'm very proud of how far I have come in this amount of time. I have also been watching what I eat. Don't get me wrong, I still eat junk every now and then, but most days it is pretty good. I eat smaller portions and I track them on my "Lose It" app. I also track my water intake which I try to drink at least 64 ounces of water every day. That has improved a lot of things as well.

Becoming the storm

July 20, 2016

I'm sorry that it has been so long since I have updated or posted anything. Life has taken quite a dramatic turn for my family and me... Matt and I moved in with my parents a while back. Since then, we have talked about moving out and renting a house, however, we have decided to hold off on this temporarily. We are in the midst of taking care of some bills and paying down debts while also enjoying the benefits of currently living rent-free. I have left school and since then, I have dipped my toes into some other waters and have learned a lot about myself and what exactly I am capable of. Matt took on a second part-time job, which he is in the final days of. He put in his notice last weekend. I have accepted a position with a company that will be opening shortly. I will be training as a supervisor, and I couldn't be more excited about the opportunities that are coming mine and Matt's way! ____ I took a brief hiatus from my blog as to keep ...

A rough day

September 30, 2015

Today has not been the best for my healthy lifestyle. I ate a lot of junk and drank some beer. And right now I find myself getting discouraged about all of this. It's hard to focus on how good you've done and how far you've come when you are feeling down. Then the cycle continues. You feel bad about what you've eaten, so you eat more. That's what I really wanted to do just now. Instead, I sent a message to my trainer and she sent me a great quote of things to do instead of bored eating and she recommended I drink some water. So, I am and I decided to blog to keep my hands busy, instead of busy putting food in my mouth. My trainer also told me to not forget how hard I have worked to get here and to not give up. There will be nights like tonight through my journey. And that's so true. I have to focus on the good I have done today... I'm getting laundry done, I went to the dentist, my mom and I brought Bella to the park to visit her other mommies, I visit...
