What kind or diet/lifestyle change are you following ?
My journey began with prolonged water only fast. Ranging from 24 hours to 6 days was the max. I'm 50 pounds lighter and I'm now following the warrior diet aka 20/4 fast. Considering trying more of a carnivore diet....just meats and water for two weeks.

Cracked the code
A few weeks ago I made a post saying I give up on chicken breast. But today...ive cracked the code. I found some recipes using Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil and spices. Man oh man! Chicken came out so tender and flavorful. I'm so happy I don't even know what to do.

Rest Day
Today is the first day I've taken a rest day in about 4 weeks. I feel guilty about it. In the past one rest day would turn into not working out and eating bad for days. But I am still eating clean today. Still will probably do some push-ups in my cubicle. But taking a physical and mental break from the gym today. I plan to…

Remembering why I want to lose weight or get healthy keeps me going. I have several "whys". But I'll share one. I'll spare you the "being able to play in the yard with my kids for hours" rhetoric..its too hot for that mess anyway. My favorite why is that im trying to look good! Case closed. I want to be sexy everywhere I…

Nutrition Hacks
What are some tips, tricks, or tools that help you achieve your fitness goals nutritionally? I no longer drink juice or soda. But I do miss the taste at times.

Are you prepared for obstacles
What are the things that have sidetracked or stalled your progress before? How can we overcome them this time? I used to be a slave to the scale. If I woke up and the scale didn't read what I want..I would get back in bed and probably order unhealthy food. And then the next day I'd be so guilty that I didn't work out and…

Waiving the white flag

Finding new ways to stay active.
I walked to the grocery store (1 mile each way). Loaded groceries in my bookbag and walked back. It was fun and I got my steps in ! The other day I did 3 miles to the gym...worked out...3 miles back.

Make fitness/working out a non negotiable!
I hit a major milestone. I flew home last weekend and stayed for 5 days. Usually this means I workout less, eat terrible, and fall off the wagon. This time I worked out every single day. No matter what I worked out. I worked out at 4 different gyms for free using a combo of day passes. Don't let anything stop you from…

Push up board
Purchased something on Amazon yesterday. Foldable pushup board that allows push-ups from multiple angles to target various muscle groups. I'll be doing push-ups in my cube all day. Might purchase another for the house and leave this one here. Although it folds and travels well. I tried to post the pic but it's not showing.
