BE GRITTER

Grit towards…healthy living, knowledge, experiences, helping others & happiness. I am searching for accountability in myself, using a format that I hope to learn to love, post everyday and find others in life struggles to help and talk to along the way.

Food for thought

There is a time and place for everything, and you need to live out your potential in every moment that you are given. We are only promised two things... the beginning and end, what is inbetween is in the air. Sometimes you have control and other times you do not, but you must always live to your greatest potential in every moment that could be your last.

We are all given options, paths, choices... we can make the right ones for our own lives but our lives cross other people's options, paths, and choices... when they cross, they can be a storm or a small breeze in another's life.

Two bottles of wine, shared between three acquaintances and no electronics creates a great night of truly connecting.

I wish more people could enjoy that level of bonding

Good.

Life is good, you have to remember that. It isn't always perfect but there can usually be good in every situation.

With everything going on in our world we have to try and find the good. Sometimes try to even create good from what shit we have, and just spread the goodness to one another. We need to be sensitive towards others and stop being sensitive to ourselves. We need to be good to each other and acknowledge the fact that we are all human with our own problems, big and small, we need to help support, educate and be good to each other.

Fucking stop with the fake shit, no ones perfect. Stop acting like our lives are as perfect as our 128th filtered selfie. Stop acting like we know everything because every person knows something that another does not.

End.

Home for a four day weekend

I love my parents backyard. It's perfect for a full workout and my dad has bomb weight sets 😍 Had some sister bonding time doing another Whitney Simmons workout and she died but it felt so damn good. Also played some open gym vball which is always at a flip of a coin. It's been cool.

GAWH damn

YOOOOOOO... day two post first leg day and I worked a 9-6pm shift... on a Saturday morning, while there was a massive soccer tournament going on in town. 

I fucking rocked it and I have to thank the vibes of Kesha’s song. Her outlook seriously put me and another coworker in a positive-fighting mood helping us tackle the massive crowds we had to deal with. I was on bar pushing drinks out, I was on window taking people’s moneys and throwing them their drinks with a smile, and I was on support doing them dishes. 

*when i was putting away some dishes, one the hard plastic overnight pastry containers slid down and slammed onto my cheek bone. I had a nice swollen red line across my face the last hour of my shift :D

Now I am home, Bran just got back from his six day trip from Chicago catching up on some well deserved sleep, and I am procrastinating my final exam for nutrition that is due tonight. 

The downstairs and bathrooms are clean as fuck, my makeup is nicely reorganized, my bed sheets are fresh and clean, I have new clothes in my closet and I am getting back into solid workouts and eating healthier. 

Thank you tumblr for helping me start this journey and thank you to the solid 3 people who have taken the time to read about a strangers life! Lets keep this up life!! 

HALLELUJAH! GOD IS GOOD.

Morning workout, post first booty/leg day! 

Super easy workout, basic moves and quick. I was not looking for a dripping sweat workout this morning but waking up with sore legs felt great and I was craving that workout burn (just not in my legs). 

rating: 4/10

Breakfast: 

Peanut butter and honey cream toast with a banana 

London fog

COZY!

BLT Balsamic Chicken Avocado Salad

BLT Balsamic Chicken Avocado Feta Salad is a delicious twist to a BLT in a bowl, with a balsamic dressing that doubles as a marinade!

LUNCH! 

So easy and soooo yummy!

I’m not a total wuss!

I picked my fat ass off the coach (did not go to the gym) but followed Whitney Simmons’s workout in my living room. GIRL, I was dripping sweat by the fourth workout out of her seven or eight. I did have to modify my workouts without weights and used a resistance band when I could, and I still ended up getting jelly legs. 

Whitney seems pretty down to earth and real. Her workout was tough but doable, and my favorite part is that she is to the point and she brings her camera with her to the gym. She records herself doing a few reps of whatever workout in order, voices over explaining how to perform each move and what parts of your body you should be focusing on or feeling the burn. She displays how many reps and moves on to the next exercise and I LOVED IT. She is quick to the main points while also being thorough. I was able to follow along easily and I will definitely be using this full workout again! 

I used to love working out with my dad when I was younger, but I was also an avid vollleyball player at the time, so in MUCH better shape than I am now, unfortunately. BUT LET ME TELL YOU... that sweat dripping down my face, having to wipe my brows so my eyes didn’t burn from sweat getting in them feels SO. DAMN. GOOD. 

After the workout I straight up was dead. Was not to sure if I could stay standing because my legs were giving out, but I got my water bottle and went for a walk around my neighborhood in attempt to find feeling in my legs again and cool down. 

I found the feeling all right, in my gluteus! I was pin pointing my butt with my thumbs during my walk, which I know looked super sexy. While still dealing with my jelly legs and was flopping my feet with every step since my knees and ankles decided to just chill. 

BUT yer, it was an amazing workout, even modified for a wuss like me. I am currently almost 160lb’s standing at a whopping 5′ 2.5″ with a prime time of 119lb’s senior year of high school...(pictures to come... maybe). Obviously I am starting from scratch, and I just hope that my journey can help others that want to improve their own lifestyles with me, and if not my goal in the beginning of this blog or whateva, was to keep my self committed and log it all. 

 I really want to find a schedule that can implement meditation, yoga, and full workouts like this one every week. So I am always looking for new stuff, suggestions are always welcome! 

Thanks for reading! 

SWEET, SWEET, BOOTY SWEAT.

GYM

I have a gym membership but I have this battle with myself. 

I am currently watching youtube videos of gym workouts and feeling the anxiety already. 

Anyone have any tips for gym workouts for beginners? I used to love going but I have gained a bunch of weight in the last few years and I HATE how much my confidence has reduced because I know I have great potential! 

Also any good youtubers that share great workouts that you’ve tried and love?

Thanks!
