Weekly Weigh In
I’m back down to 159. I’ve been fluctuating between 163 and 159 for the last two weeks, but I also haven’t stayed on my nutrition goals all week. Last weekend I binged on carbs. I bought brownies, peanut butter waffles, popcorn, and veggie straws. Old favorite junk food. That, by itself, wouldn’t have been a […]
Face to Face Friday
I’m not super in love with the photos that I took this week. some thing about my skin tone feels off. Doesn’t look as healthy, and overall makes me look tired. I also don’t feel like the weight loss is as visible this week as normal. It may just be the wrong time of the […]
Carb Heavy Low-Carb Week
This week’s choices were not the healthiest. I binged carbs over the weekend and ate on the higher end of the low carb scale on Thursday (still maintained under 100g net carbs) but ate poor carb nutrition choices. This week’s meal choices: Saturday 10/9/21 Breakfast: 2 Cosmic Brownies + 2 packs of Nutty Buddy Waffer […]
Self Care Daily Habits
Sometimes, this is what self care looks like. Daily habits that you do without thinking, but that are just for you: brushing your teeth and washing your face at the start and end of every day. Playing music while putting on your makeup before work. You don’t always have to go out of your way […]
That Sugar Film
I love to learn and, as I go through my weight loss journey, nutrition has become a point of interest of mine (obviously). Because of that, I’ve begun watching a lot of documentaries on the subject. I keep a running list of documentaries that I’ve watched, what they are about, and my opinion of the […]
Neck Fat
I have always carried a lot of weight under my chin. Even at my thinnest, I never had a nice defined jawline. But it definitely gets worse with weight gain and the double chin becomes a real and hated thing. Over the last year’s weight loss journey of 50 lbs down, and especially with the […]
50 LBS DOWN
I started my weight loss journey in July of 2020 at 210.4. By October 1, 2021, I am 50 lbs down at 160.4. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come and love the difference in the two years! Height: 5’0” SW: 210.4 CW: 159.0 GW: 132
Kickboxing
A few years ago, there was a kickboxing studio in town that I’d go to weekly with my cousin. The day they shut down was incredibly disappointing as I really enjoyed the class. I bought a reflex bag as a stress reliever exercise and I do love it, but you can really only do one […]
Size 12
I’m so happy with how far I’ve come! After just over a year of being back on my weight loss journey, I am down 49 lbs and wearing a size 12 for the first time in 10+ years! Height: 5’0” SW: 210 (size 18) CW: 162 (SIZE 12!) GW: 132
2011 Vs. 2021
Not there yet, but I’m slowly but surely approaching my 2011 weight again. The last time my weight reached over 200 lbs, I did an extreme weight loss over the course of the 2010-2011 year. It wasn’t the healthiest way to lose weight, nor was it maintainable, and I ended up back where I started […]
