Worked my *kitten* off all week and feels like nothing in return
I'm sure everyone's gone through this in their first few weeks, but the scales this morning felt like a kick in the bum. After a week of hard work, daily walks, calorie counting and cutting out junk I only lost half a pound. :( I'm probably just being impatient, but I was really hoping to see better results today :(

I strive to be better than I was before, and to prove that I am stronger than I think. I have some friends that I’ve been recently working out with who are competitive as well, although one is competing…

WHY are you on this weight loss/fitness journey?
My why is ME. For so long I have wanted to lose weight because society has expectations of what I should look like. I was depressed for over two decades trying EVERY diet out there.

Starting Over (Over and Over and Over Again)

I can see them over my right shoulder as sweat drips from the tip of my nose and speckles the treadmill belt speeding beneath my feet, “Tambourine” by Eve reverberating in my headphones. It’s Friday night…
