I need a bit of encouragement to get back on track. any help?

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:

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’ve been really STRESSED:

i’m trying to combat a little:

  • weight gain. i’ve gained like 5 lbs since i’ve been back, but i’ve revamped my workout routine and diet! (more on that soon!)
  • acne. gross stress indicator (currently on the repair)
  • 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.
  • midterms. ug

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!

getting my stitches out today!

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)

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. no real working out for another week or so. i’m going to get in my planks and arm workouts, but my legs are going to have to wait.

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!

so lost two pounds and my skin cleared up during my europe trip!

feeling like my mental progress is slowly catching up! over the trip where salty meals were already scheduled in, i went out of my way to buy large waters to stay hydrated, and fruit! (bananas, berries, grapes, apples, oranges). I totally thought that i had gained because the food was so dense with salt, and bad carbs, and useless calories, you know?

due to my diligence, my skin also cleared up (whereas other girls’ skin was breaking out HORRIBLY..) 

feelin’ good, and getting back to posting <3

Obsessions:

I haven’t done one of these in a while! Here’s three things on my mind:

  1. Rice Works whole grain/brown rice chips. 1 serving is so filling, and they taste delicious! (i love the parmesan ones!)
  2. Turquoise and Caicos nailpolish by Essie. such a great summer/cruise color to put a punch to any look. 
  3. PUMPKIN ANYTHING. pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin car fresheners, pumpkin candles, break, carvings, etc. I love this warm fall scent so much.  I definitely look forward to when it comes out every year!
