October 4th
249, gained 4lbs 😢
Not too bad considering that I really enjoyed all the food the past week and a half. I am super poor until Friday so I’m eating ramen noodles. Diet will resume Friday!
I’m really going to be making it a point to add in regular exercise, I figure this is a great time to do it because I walked a total of 38 miles the 3 days I was in New York so might as well before I get used to being sedentary again.
I may be lax on my diet this week while on vacation but New York definitely has me getting my exercise!
I've been a little M.I.A. mainly because I've been preparing for this trip while working like a crazy woman but it's finally here. We leave tomorrow! My dieting has been going well but I will be in New York for a week AND it's my birthday so I'm going to live. I will try to make good choices, like filling up on a salad before dinner etc but I will admit that I am not really thinking much about it. Dieting will resume when I get back on October 2nd! I weighed myself Wednesday, I didn't lose any weight but at least I didn't gain! I won't be able to weigh in until I get back so fingers crossed that I don't gain a ton!
I am so sick today. I had a slimfast shake this morning and for lunch a chicken breast and steamed broccoli. I don't know what happened but about 30-45 min later I was throwing up. I am starving now but I'm afraid to eat anything. I think I'm just going to sleep it off and hope I wake up feeling normal in the morning.
Reblog if you've got a goal to lose 40+ lbs. in 2017!

Small victories
Today I went to Sephora on my lunch break to get some more brow pomade and to get my birthday product. Traffic was horrible and I was getting pretty hangry. It took longer than expected so my lunch break was practically over by the time I was on my way back to the office, I brought lunch today but I felt myself starting to make excuses and telling myself that it would probably be easier just to stop and pick something up. My favorite burger spot was coming up on the right. It wasn't easy but I passed it up and got back to the office and ate my delicious chicken & spinach salad. I'm very proud of myself, as good as that salad was I still really really wanted a burger and fries. Making progress and learning self control! Fuck yea!
Now I'm rewarding myself with one of these amazing keto brownies I made last night, I doubled the recipe and cut them into 18 squares so each came out to 210 calories and about 3g net carbs. The recipe is from ketoconnect.net
Last week I was on a mission to find a keto/low carb/low sugar dessert that tasted as good as the real stuff. I found a recipe for these lemon squares and holy crap they are so good. When I brought them to work my coworkers loved them so much one of them bribed me to make her some with this cool brownie pan. They are 150 calories each and 2.5 net carbs. I used eythirol instead of regular sugar so they are sugar free too! The recipe is adapted from the toasted coconut lemon squares recipe at ruled.me I didn't use coconut and I didn't do the topping which saved me about 20 calories and 1g net carb per square!
Today was a good day. I was sore as hell this morning after my cleaning spree so I decided to have a little at home spa pamper day because I deserve it and it also kept me busy so I wouldn’t snack all day. I did my nails and toes then went for a swim. I was to sore for a workout but I did swim a few laps and did some really amazing water stretches then I just floated and meditated for almost an hour. Came back in, took a nap then woke up and started prepping all my meals for the week ahead. Just put some keto brownies in the oven and now I’m about to take the most luxurious bath ever.
Today was a really good day.
I cleaned my house literally all day yesterday. Once I get into the grove with cleaning I can't stop until I'm done. So my eating was a little weird yesterday. I had a pretty decent breakfast, egg white scramble with turkey sausage. Lunch was half a slim fast drink and a can of tuna with cello parmeasan whisps (which are my favorite low carb snack ever). Then for dinner I cracked due to exhaustion and laziness, I had a tostitos party pizza 😢
Today is my lazy chill day, it's so hard not to veg out in front of the tv on Thursdays. Luckily I'm really excited about dinner and I do have some food prep to do today so I'm hoping to stay busy enough to curb the usual Thursday cravings.
So I’ve slipped up a lot. Although I love everyone I follow sometimes it gets very discouraging following a whole bunch of people who have already reached their goals! I’ve started looking at myself in a very bad light and because of this I have slipped up even more. I’d really like to follow some people who have slipped up or haven’t yet reached their goal weight; so please reblog! And this is basically all through trust because I’m going to be following everyone who reblogs this unless you write “for my followers” or something along those lines but I’m not too worried because I love discovering new fitblrs no matter what!
Just starting out!
Weigh in
I have lost 11 pounds since last Wednesday!
This is the motivation I need to help me push into week 2. Very exciting!
I am super into making these little graphics for my meal plans and important recipes. This one is going on the fridge so I don't have to keep digging through Pinterest to find it every week.
Last week (my first diet week) I followed a low carb meal plan I found online, I ended up not really liking it because it involved a ton of cooking every night and I’m just too busy. So I made my own for this upcoming week. I’m going to prep a big batch of crockpot shredded chicken to use in most of my recipes. I'm trying to keep each day around 1500cal and less than 20g net carbs. I’m having fun with the menu designs also!
My dash is dead
I’m looking for fitblrs who post mostly personal stuff about their weight loss/getting fit journey. If that’s you, reblog or comment so I can find more peeps to follow!! 💕💕
Me too!
The beginning...
The beginning…
I’m fat.
I have been my entire life. I’ve gone through the usual cycles of fad dieting followed by even longer periods of acceptance and eating whatever I want. I always managed to stay around 200-220 pounds, I had convinced myself that this was an acceptable weight that looked good on me.
10 months ago I moved to Austin with my boyfriend. For the first few months we lived with my parents, both of our stuffed crammed into a tiny bedroom. I was not happy. I hated my new job and I was 6 hours away from my friends and a job I loved. I moved here for an adventure and it was not working out how I hoped. I ate my feelings a lot. Pizza every night, fast food for every lunch, at least 3 cokes a day, Ice cream multiple times a week. Honestly I usually lived this way (although this was definitely more extreme) but I really didn’t think much of it. I was just living in the moment and indulging without a second thought.
In May we got our own apartment and I got a new job that I liked. I started to go out more and even made a few friends. Things were starting to look up but still my eating habits stayed the same.
2 weeks ago I decided to buy a scale to replace the one I sold when I moved here. A few coworkers had recently started to diet and have had good results so I started to maybe possibly think about dieting. The scale stayed in its box for almost a week. I really didn’t want to know how much I had gained. I liked the lie I told myself. I knew I gained weight but I convinced myself it was probably only 10 pounds or so. Living that way was comforting. It meant that I didn’t have to be responsible for what I was putting in my body. Finally, this past Wednesday I worked up some courage, unboxed the scale, stripped down “so I wouldn’t add extra weight” (lol) and stepped on.
Two hundred and fifty five pounds.
Ouch. Last I remembered I weighed 220ish. I had gained 35 pounds in 10 months. I laughed it off with my boyfriend then went into the bathroom and cried. I never thought i’d weigh this much. I know you’re probably wondering how that could be considering that I said I ate pizza, ice cream and fast food every day. But I really just didn’t think it would happen. I weighed myself a few times in 2016 and then before that I couldn’t tell you when I weighed myself. I guess in my mind I just thought my body had stayed the same. My weight gain was always slow and steady so it never seemed alarming to me.
Seeing that number was definitely a huge wake up call. I cant keep going like this. I know if I do i’ll be pushing 400 pounds in no time. So this is it. Time for change.
For the past week I’ve been cutting out carbs and sugars. I really don’t know how to diet but the way I see it I put on all this weight by eating carbs and sugars so it seems most logical that to lose it I need to do the opposite. Of course I want to lose weight but really right now I just want to feel better. For the past few months my skin has been horrible and I’ve been experiencing shortness of breath and frequent dizzy spells. I am going to the doctor for this next week so I don’t want to self diagnose but I think my diet is a major component to how I’ve been feeling. I am only 27 years old but lately I feel 50. What I’ve been eating has to be the main reason why.
So this is the beginning. The start of a major life change for me. I know I will probably make mistakes and I know I will have set backs. I have cheated a few times this past week but I wont beat myself up over it. I know I have issues with food, I know its my addiction. I’m just going to strive to do better every day.
I will be using this blog as a food/weight loss/lifestyle journal. I feel like this will help me have some accountability. Tomorrow I will be weighing myself again. I am hoping for some encouragement in the form of a few pounds lost but no matter what I am in it to win it.
