update: I’M BACKKK

hi all you beautiful people out there! I have a major, major update! 

1. I’ve lost 8 pounds since being at school (about 6 weeks) 
2. I’ve also lost a pant size since then (currently a size 8, down from a size 12)
3. at 152 lbs, that’s 26 LBS DOWN! (really, i’m so proud of my progress!) 

I want to shift the focus of my blog to how I stay healthy at school! Healthy cafeteria options, healthy dorm snacks, dorm workouts, etc. I’m so excited to continue my success and help you all reach yours! It hasn’t been a fast journey, but I’m finally discovering the lifestyle change of it all. 

YAY!

love you all, talk to you soon! 

xx, Tay

I’M OFFICIALLY 22 POUNDS DOWN!

sorry, it’s been one hell of a summer, but i’ve been working my butt off, i promise(:

currently 158

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 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. 

3 lbs away from my prom goal? woo!

i can do it! this long 5 day weekend is all about intense cardio sweat sessions and loading on the veggies. 

I CAN DO THIS. (165 here i come, then it’s only 5 more lbs to 160! ahh!) 

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

i ran for an hour yesterday!

non-stop. i think i’ve made FANTASTIC  progress, here’s how:

1. switching up music every week, it really gets me pumped.
2. not knowing how far my route is. running is totally psychological for me, so yesterday i just took random roads until i ended up back at my house. not sure how far i went, but hey, and hour straight is awesome! 

can’t wait to become the runner i’ve always wanted to be. definitely starting out slowly, but working on up! here’s to another run like that later on today! 

Whole grain noodles, organic strained tomato sauce, and cantaloupe for lunch! I mixed some red pepper flakes into the sauce which made the fruit taste so sweet! Natures candy:)

Just got an iPhone!

I downloaded the Lose It! App. And it looks like it’s going to track everything really nicely. Are there any other weightloss/diet apps that you guys recommend? I would so appreciate it!
