Booty Gains
Hello, Friends! I wanted to share this NSV with you because I am super proud of myself! And I want to show others that it can be done. Lifting heavier is paying off! The picture on the left was taken about a year and a half ago and the picture on the right was a few weeks ago. I still have a ways to go but here it is:

The healthiest part of weight lifting
For me, it's strengthening my confidence. My college's gym is one room with cardio machines on one side, weight machines in the middle, and free weights on the other side. The majority of the people who use the gym are members of the sports teams (i am not). I used to wait until the coast was clear before flirting with the…

Visual Food Diary
Hey everyone. I figured I'd share something that I do that has really helped me eat healthier and lose weight. When i want to eat I will make a plate of whatever it is I want to eat and make everything look pretty on the plate and take a picture. I then put the picture into an album on my phone. I've started doing it with…

Bikini shopping!

fall semester success progress pic
In the beginning of the fall semester I told myself it was time to get back in shape and took a photo to give myself a starting point. I cut back on alcohol, improved my eating, and started working out six times a week. Today was the first day of classes for the spring semester and I took a photo to see my progress and…

I Don't Feel Depressed Anymore
Hey everyone! I just felt like I needed to take a quick moment to talk about how I think that fitness and getting healthy has helped lift my depression. I went off my meds a little under a year ago because they made me feel really foggy and I wanted to see if I could work on feeling better without them. In September when I…

Need to be less rigid
So I have had problems in the past where I start a weight loss or fitness journey and I get obsessive about it to the point where I won't treat myself at all. The control aspect of losing fat is really tempting for me. I feel like this is happening again and I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem? Do you have…
