I've only lost 3 lbs in the last two months, but my clothes are definitely fitting better! Just need to stay consistent with my food tracking to progress further 😁

I'm ready to hit 135 lbs. I've been stuck hovering 137.2 - 138.4 lbs for the past 2.5 weeks. Had to really dial in my tracking after a couple days around my birthday where I wasn't eating the best (but still not too above targets). I'd like to hit that by 5/22. I'd be a solid 25 lbs lost and 15 lb to go.

I became slightly addicting to wanting iced coffee every morning - iced caramel - just craving that flavor. After about 4 months of that, my chest starting feeling weird and I would start feeling hot, almost sweating at random times. I would look at my fitbit and my heartrate would read 120 while sitting on the couch... I…

I had told myself I had to change my lifestyle once my fiancé proposed in June. I didn't actually start my workout regiment and calorie/macro counting until mid-October. Reality hit hard - I was the heaviest I have ever been and about to need to size up in clothes. My favorite dresses/shorts/shirts were tight and I didn't…

For the last 2.5 years I had a Fitbit Ionic. It did everything I wanted it to: count steps/ log exercise/ sleep track. The workout calories "burned" I just see as a rough estimate to gauge my workouts. You could swim with the Ionic - I just didn't trust the device or company. Fitbit has it's issues, and the 2.5 years with…

I usually weigh myself every other day. First thing in the morning after going to the bathroom w/o clothes. I always record my Sunday weight. My weight fluctuates based on how intense my workout was the evening prior and even what foods I have eaten. Usually varies by 1-1.2 lbs

Due to stay-at-home orders and places being closed - my fiancé and I could not go to the food and wine fest this year. So, we made it happen self-quarentine style in our backyard. This was dessert: Griddled Cheesecake w/ Raspberry Sauce :)

Florida begins a safe-at-home order Friday at 12:01 am. It doesn't shut down non-essentials directly, but by requiring people to stay at home unless for essential trips, I guess they shouldn't be getting business? People can still go fishing, walking, biking, hunting as long as you maintain social distancing.... but…

My local paper had an article on one of the first people to test positive for Covid-19 here in Florida. Her quarantine ended as all these new measures are being put in place. She shared a log of her experience with the virus by daily breakdown of symptoms. I've seen a few articles where people have come forward about…

Florida's governor just closed down all restaurants (only To-Go and Delivery allowed), all gyms, and any place with a license to sell alcohol can only sell packages drinks to-to. Beaches are closing - if they weren't already. They say our total number is 520 right now.... but testing hasn't ramped up yet.

As of yesterday, all Florida universities are to finish the semester through online courses. Spring graduations (if not already cancelled) are most likely going to be cancelled soon. This was after 4 students at University of Florida tested positive. My best friend teaches 8th grade, and after spring break, they will be…

Where I work in Florida, if you have the ability to work from home - then that is what they are requiring. In my building, that is basically just upper management and project managers. The rest of us are considered essential employees and have to show up to get the work done.

Mine is a before and during! 5 months progress, but I've hit halfway to final goal: 21 lbs gone with 20 more to go :) Top is mid-October and bottom is today!

I've been obsessed with this for a morning treat

I recently tried my first ever Shamrock Shake from McDonald's. Oreo McFlurry version. After the first couple of bites, the mint became more a toothpaste flavor to me so I didn't finish it :/

I'm in Florida. Disney World and Universal Studios have shut down for the remainder of the month. All universities are to switch to online classes until at least April 6th. All events are being cancelled. My fiancé and all our closest friends work at Publix here. My friend just told us that her store won't receive…

It may also depend on if you take any hormonal birth control. My experience with no periods: I've been on the same pill for 10 years. In the last year and a half, I have gotten 2 "normal" periods. Normal for me is light for 3ish days. My gyno isn't worried and attributes it to the low dose of hormones in my pill....

I still have 4 unopened boxes of girl scout cookies... Normally, I would addictingly eat the whole box of thin mints in a sitting - knowing the whole time I won't feel well after.

I just ordered a high-performance sports bra from Fabletics. It comes in Thursday - so I can't say much about it now except that it had amazing reviews....

It's at least 3 times a week that I get "site down for maintenance" errors when trying to get to the website.

I have the Aftershokz Bone Conduction Open-Ear Headphones. I chose those because it helps me hear cars around me when I jog and ride my bike

I'm also prone to the "not losing inches" thoughts. I found some articles on Livestrong.com that helped me feel a little more at ease about weight loss/fat loss/lost inches (and loving words from my fiancé about the progress I have made). Visceral vs subcutaneous fat, etc. I weigh and measure all my food to ensure I'm in a…

I'm 2 lbs away from a total of 20 lbs lost. So then I'll be halfway to final goal!

My fiancé has a favorite go-to: Optimum Nutrition in Double Rich Chocolate He can have it straight in water, but likes it most with peanut butter and banana

I just wore my faux leather Spanx this past Saturday! The weather was finally nice. I had a different experience though... I was comfortable in them and it was the first time in a while I actually felt really fabulous and thought I looked darn good. My confidence was boosted in them. ....my dad called them hooker pants…
