Welcome to 2018!

Is it really 2018 already? Gosh! The whole year just completely flew by. It feels like it was just yesterday that Bryan, and I were standing outside the Flamingo in Las Vegas when he popped the question. Now we've been married for 4 months! It seems even crazier to think that we've been together for almost 3 years. It's amazing how fast time flies when you're having fun! 

I have never really been a huge fan of new years resolutions. Not because I don't think you should have goals and follow them. I just feel like it shouldn't take a new year for you to decide to follow your goals/dreams. If a new year is your only driving motivator than how can that goal be sustainable? Now don't get me wrong, I know I have friends that set goals and keep them after the new year and if that works for them than by all means please set a resolution or two or maybe even three... Whatever your heart desires! But I'm going to bow out on this one. 

I did, however, decide that I want to live a healthier lifestyle back in October. That goal is still a goal I very much want to stick to. I know I haven't been blogging or posting on social as much, but I have managed to sustain the weight loss over the holidays. I haven't lost any for a few week but that's okay all good things come with time. I also believe losing weight should be a slow process to make keeping it off easier to do.

With that I'm signing off! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Good luck to all of you who set goals for yourself this year. Cheers to 2018!

Starting Over

Well, lets see starting over sure could cover a wide range of topics. However, I am going to be focusing this blogging site about my journey to my health and fitness. Man, there are so many haters out there and people who are going to say, "Why is she doing this? Is she just wanting attention? How pathetic!". That's okay, the gene that many of us millennials have says I owe no explanation and should say, "screw it, who cares!". But the compassionate part of me feels I owe most of you an explanation. So here it is... All I am asking for is support and encouragement as I go through this journey. It's not easy and lets face it this isn't my first rodeo.  Now with that out of the way. I want to talk about how I am back in this situation again. Many reasons really with a good majority of them being what most people call excuses. The number one reason is actually medical. In November of 2014, I started having Achilles tendinitis. Yes, this is treatable as lo...

Turning 30

Wow! Has it really been 30 years since I was born? I'm sure to my mother it feels like just yesterday still. I've decided what I really want to do is start a blog and really stick to it. Let's see what this blog looks like by next year. Hopefully, it's not like my last one, and I drop off the face of the earth. 😉 Speaking of my last post... I've still been trying to eat healthier, and I've been going to the gym about once a week. I feel a difference, and it helped me be able to get the top part of the dress tied all the way. That means no alterations for me!!! I've realized that it's really hard to find food without sugar/carbs, so I feel kind of lost in this world of prediabetes. I'm supposed to eat more protein but as I often joke with Bryan I think I might need to be a vegetarian. I couldn't care less about meat. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice steak but let's face it... It's nearly impossible to make a delicious steak at...

Yes I can!

In 2014, I worked really hard to lose weight and finally got down to my lowest weight. I maintained that for awhile until I hurt my ankle and things started getting stressful at work. I found comfort in the food I ate and felt instant gratification. Needless to say, due to my unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise brings me to my highest weight. About 8 months ago I found out I was prediabetic, and I tried so hard at first to get the weight off and nothing worked. Eventually, I gave up and reverted back to old habits. I remember looking at photos of when I was smaller and feeling down about myself. Honestly, I was just being plain negative... Today that ends, I am no longer going to look in the mirror and feel sorry for myself. I'm going to change, and I know I can do it. I had someone remind me today that instead of looking at those old pictures of myself and feeling bad I should see that it is something that I can and will do. I've done it once, and I'll do it a...
