Healthy Steps Forward

Hey, my name's Melissa, 23 and I'm an unhealthy girl living in a healthy world and I'm willing to change that. I used to have a weird and warped relationship with food by binging, purging and starving, but now I'm taking the healthier alternative. If anyone wants to be part of my journey, or wants me to be a part of theirs, I would be more than happy to! Let's get healthy together!

I have a delicious coffee with almond milk hazelnut creamer, strawberries, blackberries and home grown pear. I also have a charcoal cleanser to wash it all down!

How can I keep myself motivated

Hello Everyone, 

I am in a bit of a lull, I have not been working out regularly and have fallen into a pit of unhealthy. I wanted to reach out to the community to see what you’ve done to start back again and keep yourself motivated?

I’ve signed up for a Spartan Race, but have not done much to train. Any and all advice is much appreciated! 

Have a lovely day all!

I started my workout with 25 minutes on the treadmill and then did an arm workout that has left my arms feeling like wet spaghetti noodles. I was a little embarrassed at the gym today because I don’t know how to use the machines and people definitely saw me fumble more than once and everyone was so much more fit than me, but I have to remember not to compare myself and that I’m doing this for me. I’ll get there.

Vegan Lunch 😍🥑👅🍅

Black galaxy nicecream 🖤 something dreamy to start into this gloomy weekend 💭🌫 (Anzeige/tag) The exact instructions for black nicecream + the product I use are linked in my story now for you guys 🤗 it’s super easy to make, you just need some activated charcoal. 🌌 . . . . . 🌚🥀 DEPRESSION 🥀🌚

On gloomy days like these in winter it’s important to have a WHY. Know WHY you get up in the morning and do the things you do. Keep reminding yourself of your goals and visions in life. If you forget about them, you can easily slide into a mild depression, especially on this series of dark, grey days that don’t seem to have an end. ☁️ I’ve been there. I’ve experienced the slow progression of a depression creeping in. It’s a downward spiral that throws you into a hole you can’t just get out of with just one step. 🌑 In my case, there wasn’t a particular reason WHY it happened but rather a LACK of reason. A reason to get up in the morning, to work through these cold winter days consistently and unstoppably. ☄️ 3 years later, winter is still one big struggle for me. If you are feeling something similar right now, I’m here to tell you that there is a way! No matter how bad or good you feel today, know that (even) better times are always ahead! What you’re experiencing right now is preparing you for what you asked for. Always focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. As long as you don’t lose sight of the light, the universe is preparing miracles for you. 💫 Work is one of my coping mechanisms. Having a prospect is another way I make my winter bearable. I work hard every day so I can go on vacation for a few weeks in February and March. My travel plans are my WHY. 🛫🌴 What is your WHY? I’d love to know. 🖤 (at Düsseldorf, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGCdesge36/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pxnkt6av7c74

A wonderful breakfast! I had two poached eggs on bread but I ate it too quickly! My smoothie is mixed berries and mangos with water. Pair that with a black coffee and it’s a wonderful start to the day!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

I have a workout plan!

I have been going regularly for the beginning of this year (yes I know it’s only been 2 days into 2019). I have some ground rules for my fitness journey.

- I will not drink more than 1 alcoholic beverage a month until at least my birthday (mostly for being able to keep my fitness goal on track)

- I will no longer be drinking any sodas, that means diet or regular. Sparkling water is still ok

- I will go to the gym regularly 3 times a week plus one day of just cardio

- I will eat healthier, no more french fries, burgers, ribs, or foods high is bad fats, sugars, and sodium every time I go out. I want to be realistic and not completely cut it out but just try for healthier options or eat the food once in a blue moon

- I will at least walk a total of 5 thousand steps a day even on days I do not go to the gym

- I will post more of my progress online

That’s what I have so far, let’s make 2019 our year of happiness and being healthy! Who’s with me!
