The frozen yogurt was delish. I may or may have not had two servings #oops #FrozenYogurtIsMyWeakness

Listen.

Just because I only take fruit at the awkward mid morning office birthday party I attended doesn’t give you the right to ask if I’m on a diet.

Cake is awesome. Fruit is awesome. I eat what I wanna eat.

Like why do people care so much!?!

I’ll never understand why we live in a society where being overweight is frowned upon yet we have to criticize anyone who decides to make healthy choices.

Made an avocado, egg white, tomato, & cheese sandwich for breakfast-- Why is avocado so good? #breakfastofchampions #avocadolover

Day One

Today was a good first day.

Today marked the beginning of getting rid of 70 lbs. I went to the gym even after contemplating not going and just working out at home (even though I know I would not have).

Today I weighed in and I was a wopping 210.8 lbs. Whoa mama, I know. I'm not a happy camper about that at all, but I can do this again.

Dinner was amazing! So good that I ate a bite before I could even snap a photo lol. On the menu: salmon, quinoa, and asparagus, onion, & bell pepper combo. One word: delicious!!

This is how healthy people roll! Banana Pancakes, Strawberries, && Organic Yogurt :)

I'm Back to the Daily Grind

Yep, I couldn't stay away for too long. The last blog was sort of fail and to be honest wasn't the push that I needed to refocus. So here I am trying again for what feels like the billionth time. I'm here for accountability. I'm here to finally say goodbye to 70 lbs. I can do this. God, will give me the strength to refocus and stare this 70 pound weight loss in the face.

Tomorrow will be the official weigh-in day.

Last Blog Post

Yes, you heard right. This is my last blog post on this domain. Honestly, there is too much guilt associated with this blog so I'm leaving it behind hopefully along with hurdles that I've faced along with it. I'm not deleting this blog because there are definitely some great and amazing milestones on this blog that I would like to have the ability to go back and relive.

I'm moving on and starting fresh at

Things On the Brain...

After watching Food Inc & Forks Over Knives my view of being healthy has changed once again. I've always been concerned about looking great, all these external reasons but after watching Food Inc & Forks Over Knives, its time for me to be more concerned about the INTERNAL factors!

I'm thinking about cutting out dairy- bu-bye FROZEN YOGURT :( Hello homemade fro-yo

I'm not sure if I'm ready to take fish out of my diet- baby steps right?

Looking for another race to tackle- since I want to move to Austin or Dallas TX after graduation, I've been thinking about doing the LIVESTRONG Austin Half Marathon in Feb '13. Second half marathon? I THINK ITS TIME!

Now its time to start evaluating my last training stint!
