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:
a gluten-free month!
i will be tracking my experiences and obstacles as they come.
i’m hoping that the change will leave me feeling different and refreshed!
i’m trying to combat a little:
But, I’m getting better. I took some time for myself to re-evaluate some things, and now I’m back again! can’t wait to get back on track and everything with my beloved health community.
thanks for hangin’ with me, you guys! love love love you all.
xo, Tay!
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 (trying to do too much already got me re-infected once -__-), but i want to get back on track! i’ve been maintaining the same weight for like three weeks now!
tomorrow, just to keep myself on track, i’ll go back to posting my food intake! sorry for not being the inspiration that you guys love, i just need this time to heal. that way i can be back to a true fitblr:(
which meannnnssss: BACK TO WORKING OUT! i’ve seriously had so much pent up energy that i NEED to expend. who would’ve thought. also, my weight finally evened out from the meds.
that was not a fun time, but i’m back to normal (2 pounds to go till i hit one of my GWs! i’m still going for a solid 150 before college, 135 ultimate.)
can you tell by the amount of caps that i’m pretty psyched. BUILD THAT MUSCLE! (can’t wait to get back to lifting, my arms need it xD)
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!
non-fitspo related, but definitely a milestone in my life.
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 progress. I said “no.” me, myself, and I are the only ones involved in this journey, and it’s taken a looooong time to figure this out. Staying strong, guys(:
progress is beautiful.
then going for a run(: Someone told me that they’ve seen a definite speed improvement! So i’m just going to pat myself on the back for that progress!
What stepping stones have you guys been making this summer so far? New recipes/food success stories?
Share them all!
xo Taylor
back to my early morning run(: plus i have Mat Kearny Pandora to keep me entertained!
bloating. (salt/water retention, get out!)
