The Struggle is Real

Tuesday, April 29, 2014

It is so easy to eat unhealthy. Chocolate bunny for breakfast? So easy.

Drinking Diet Coke instead of water? Tastes better.

And working out. Who's got time for that?



These past few weeks, I left the dieting behind. I ate what I wanted, worked out when and if I wanted. And that's just a bad idea, folks. I added a few extra pounds and am not feeling great.

This time last year, I was on my way to my wedding day and in serious crunch mode for my weight. Since then. let's just say, not quite there.

This is the stop to that. Healthy eating isn't just about weight. It's about all over body health. If I eat like crap, I feel like crap. I gain weight and my blood pressure, cholesterol go up. This leads to health problems.

To get me back on track, I have joined the Tone IT Up #BikiniSeries. Fit and fabulous before my first anniversary. I want abs. I want my love handles gone. I am not sure if I will weigh myself daily or weekly. Only because that can sometimes be my fixation. Curses to you scale.

I just want to be healthy. Feel fit.



But the struggle is there. And burpees are hard. And every other excuse that I have ever given. It's a mental block that needs to go. Like yesterday.

It ends today. Today, I make the pledge to get healthier, get fit and say goodbye to love handles and hello to new abs. I will be eating mostly yeast-free and sugar free (minus margaritas, just being real) I will be sticking to my fitness plan provied by Tone it Up and meet by #1800minutechallenge.

I am also holding myself accountable with all of you. You all see my pledge to get back in shape. Pretty much I have no choice but to stick with it. Otherwise, how much of a fail is it if you see me looking the same in a few months?

So here it is. Here it goes. I am going to do something I thought I would never do. Post a before picture. Let you all see the jiggle, wiggle.



There you have it. The before. Now, to work on my after.

I Just Don't Wanna

Thursday, April 24, 2014

I am fully aware of the grammar usage in that sentence. Does it make you cringe? I sometimes find myself wanting to correct my own slang on my posts.

Today is one of those days. The days when you sit and stare. Stare at a blank page wondering just what to fill it with.

Should I talk about Lily? You know you all love her and her adorableness all over my Instagram.



Or maybe tell you how excited I am that I scheduled a 4 day weekend next week and I am beside myself. It will include a haircut, massage, mani/pedi and heading back to my hometown to see one of my home girls. Yea, I went there.. And hopefully a new laptop if I'm really good..Cross your fingers for me!

I could tell you that I am currently chatting with a friendly man name Travis from Apple Care.


Facebook is having some serious issues on my iPhone. Wouldn't be a big deal buttt Candy Crush, Cartwheel, pretty much every app can't access Facebook. clearly, this is serious.

Perhaps you might acually want to hear about my Easter weekend. Where we strolled in Princeton, had a mid day glass of wine, and a nighttime margarita. Visited Dad on Sunday and ended it with Devious Maids.


And I know you want to hear that I have FINALLY joined the #1800minutechallenge with the genius Erin from Living in Yellow.


Late to the party as always, but I'm determined to get there nonetheless. I am also signed up and ready to take on the Tone It Up Bikini Series. I am all kinds of serious about getting myself in shape.





I think that is all for my very random brain dump. Any fitness plans you have before summer? And how cute is Lily? But seriously ;)
