365 Days of Change.

So I ended up taking a little break from posting,

I think I was getting a little obsessed over counting calories. I stopped doing that 3 weeks ago. I haven’t weighed myself in 3 weeks, but I have continued with making healthier choices when eating! I still don’t eat red meat and pork. I don’t drink soda, unless I choose it as a treat on occasion (like instead of eating an actual dessert I choose to get a medium Sprite haha). I have been trying to do as many toning exercises as I can, I have been watching/following along to a lot of YouTube videos :) I will post again later, I just want my followers to know I haven’t given up! I just stopped myself from obsessing over calories! :)

Easter Fucked Me Over:

I didn’t eat ham and it’s been 53 days since I’ve had red meat or pork! Yayyy :) I had mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, and tons of dip with chips though:/ Oh well, I’m gonna go for a walk with my friend later, hopefully that gets my energy up! I totally have carb face again :p

Weigh-in:

I didn’t lose any weight this week… I kind of figured I’d either not lose any weight or I’d gain a pound, from the way my week went. Oh well, at least I didn’t gain weight! I need to step up my game man! Haha :p I am going to try to get some light weight lifting at night before bed and see if that helps my weight loss for this next week:)

Busy Busy Busy

I haven’t been home for like 4 days for more than a couple hours, that means no WiFi :( I am starting over tomorrow and doing a green tea/lemon water detox. It was my birthday on Sunday, and I turned 19! :) So I have been eating terrible because I haven’t been home and my birthday dinner/leftovers was pasta. So tomorrow morning will be the new beginning to a “reunion ready” body :P I hope these past 4 days didn’t sabotage my weight loss goal for this week!

herdistractions asked: Your blog gives me nommy food ideas and I'm amazed at your progress. But I wanted to know what do you do for exercise?

Thank you! The first three weeks I did Couch 2 5K (until I sprained my ankle) which got me running 2 miles in about 30 minutes. It’s a 9 week program that I plan on restarting on April 2nd :) I did some Yoga and Wii Fit for 2 weeks, but I slowly came up with excuses to not exercise…So recently I haven’t been doing anything at all, just watching what I eat :)

Weigh-in:

I weigh 123 lbs today! There’s 84 days until I get to see my boyfriend, Ross, again. I think I can make it to 110 by then :) 1 lb a week I’ll be 111 lbs, that means I definitely have to work twice as hard!

amasketch asked: Hey, just writing you this way because I couldn't find another but I'm in the same boat with the dude being deployed and trying to lose weight for me and "the reunion" (ha, yay being corny) Just wanted to say it'll get a little easier as time passes, keep friends close, try to stay positive and focus on what's going on now rather than "the day". Hugs and the best of luck with everything. Take care <3

Thank you :) It’s getting easier as the days pass

Explanation:

So I have been completely M.I.A. for the last week because my boyfriend/best friend (of 4 years) left for the Marines and he will be gone for 3 months. The most time we have ever spent apart was 3 years ago and he went on a family vacation for 3 weeks, but we were able to text and talk on the phone every single day. This time is completely different… no phone, just letters… I am dying to get my first letter from him so I can just start writing him letters constantly. I know this is for the best and we will grow up a lot in the next 3 months, but it is still really scary at the same time… I am going to be starting a 90 day challenge, first thing in the morning and I hope this will help me stay busy to keep my mind off of everything. Thank you for still following, I really need all the support I can get :)

Weigh-in:

Today’s weight is 124 lbs (and it’s that time of the month)… :) I have lost 6 lbs so far! My birthday is in 9 days and I think I’m going to be able to wear my sleeveless sheer black top :D I don’t have any plans for the night yet, but hopefully it’ll be a good day regardless!
