I need a bit of encouragement to get back on...
I did so well last summer through about march. I have just really fallen in terms of holding myself accountable for tracking my workouts and diet.
Heading to the gym now to get myself back to the starting line. This is a LIFESTYLE . I need constant reminders of this since it isn’t totally ingrained just yet.
sorry for being a disappointment, guys.
CW: 165 let’s do this.

gluten-free month starts tomorrow!
a good friend of mine here at college recently got diagnosed with celiacs disease (gluten intolerance). to show my support (and generally try it out for the health benefits) i’m going to do:

BEING SICK! i’ve had a terrible, terrible cold/ear-infection/throat-infection combo for about 3 weeks now. that’s really taken a toll on me.

back home and ready to get back on track!
I’m so excited for these next three weeks! It will give me a chance to not only detox from the stress of school, but also cleanse myself of those cafeteria meals that have been bogging me down. Though I try my hardest to eat healthfully, the processed, mass meals aren’t home cooking.
here are my goals for winter break:

Anonymous asked: Hey! I've been on a fitness kick for the past 2ish months and lost around 15lbs (woohoo!) However, I'm kind of stuck now weight-wise and still have around 20lbs to lose before reaching my target weight. Is there anything you could recommend??

post-op update:
because of the state of my post-op wound, i haven’t been able to workout hard, like at all. I just got the “okay” to start taking light walks, nothing too vigorous. and i’m going to get back onto my planking/arms (still can’t lie back, therefore no traditional abs just yet.)
overall i’ve been really frustrated. and i know that i need this time to recover...

pissed.
so i haven’t been able to work out in about a week because of surgery (got a cyst removed), and the prescription cocktail they have me on is making me so dehydrated! no matter how much water i drink, i seem to be retaining it all! the scale says i went up 3 pounds in two days! ugh.
i know that this’ll be figured out once i’m off the pills, but i’m just a little miffed....

I am 3 lbs away from seeing the 150s on my scale.
I know it’s just a number, but obviously running and clean eating is getting me some real results. Absolutely ecstatic! Going to start implementing more weight training again to carve out more muscle!

WILLPOWER:
a note on will power:
Tomorrow is my long-awaited graduation. So like many people we have family over, and the grill’s all ablaze. Instead of saying yes to potatoes and steak with sauce and toppings, I chose grilled veggies (2 servings) and maybe 2 oz (at most) of the steak (really marinated, heavy in calories for even a tiny bit).
This is how I know that I’ve definitely made...
