My name is Nani and I'm 24 years old. I currently work in higher education for a graduate program. I felt so great for a while, lost track for a couple of years, and just want to feel that happiness and healthiness I did when I first started. Click here for my story! NOTE: I take no credit for pictures posted unless otherwise stated. I know everyone says it's a jerky thing to do, but me finding pictures on other websites, saving them and posting them myself give me more motivation than simply reblogging. If your picture is on here, send me a link to which one it is so I can credit you accordingly! :) SW: 208 lbs CW: 202 lbs GW: 130 lbs
I always get it with liquid sweetener and whole milk. I’ve tried almond milk, coconut milk, etc. etc. and I just can’t find something that works for me! My current order is not only so bad for me, the dairy bloats me to no end.
Alright everyone. Here we are. It’s been about 5 years since I’ve started this blog, and about 2 years since I’ve stopped actively and consistently posting on it. I beat myself up a little over this, because I think of all of the times I reblogged “You’ll thank yourself in a year if you just stick to it!!” and now here I am, worse than ever.
Life happens, my friends. I’ve gone through my fair share of personal issues, health issues, family issues... the list goes on. My health and fitness was put semi-permanently on the back burner for way too long. I now look at myself, the biggest I’ve ever been, and realize that my depression, anxiety, fears, social awkwardness, and everything else that has STOPPED me in the past, starts and ends with how I look and feel. Too, too fat.
Considering the last time I updated you all on “My Story” was about two years ago, I suppose it’s time for an update now. To see how I started on this journey, click this link to read about how this all started.
But for our new journey and update:
I'm now 24 (almost 25!) years old. Here I am :)
I spent the last few years working in a corporate e-commerce job that was pretty great. It was creative and analytical and a challenge. However I quickly realized that the nights I was spending there until 9, 10, 11 o'clock at night were starting to take a toll on my mental and physical health. I'd get home late, and make a quick cold cut sandwich or order a quick pizza on my home. I was too tired to go to the gym - I'd be lucky if I had enough energy to walk my dog by the time I got home. It was just too draining. I realized I'm just too young for this. So I made the hard choice to leave.
here’s me and my cute pup:
I took three months off over the summer. Did a few things for self-help and care. Did a little bit of traveling. Helped my aunt out who was quite sick. And then I began a new adventure in a new industry.
Now I'm working in higher education at a pretty amazing university in New England. It's a graduate program that I work with and it's been such a great ride so far. For the first time in a long time I feel like I'm doing work with meaning. I'm helping prospective students get accepted, current students secure internships, and helping everyone in the office along in the process. I get in at 9 and I leave at 5 - I "get in trouble" if I stay much later than that! It's a totally different atmosphere and feeling and I'm so excited that I'm starting to feel like myself a little more.
My next step is kickin' ass and takin' names! Time to eat clean, drink more water, workout, do some yoga, etc., etc. I'm ready to feel good again. I was SO close to hitting my goals last time. Now I'm further away from them than ever.
So I'm back here. I lost access to this account for a while but I fought hard to gain it back because I knew I wouldn't be able to continue this journey without the amazing support of the fitblr community. I'm hoping you'll all be as great as you were the first time around and I look forward to taking the journey with all of you!!!
