✨New Month, New Goals ✨ Starting off August a little more organized and with a new focus: to live in this body while I try to help it grow and improve. The goals may seem simple to some, but I’m starting back at work soon and that teacher life can be a bit rough in august. Exciting, but rough. So I’m planning on giving myself some grace but still using small things to work to my ultimate goal. I want to enjoy this journey, struggles and all, but I don’t want to hate it. Oh, also, I made a thing!!! SLIDE TO SAVE the blank goal and weight trackers! TAG ME to share your goals! 💕 #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #augustgoals #augustgoaltracker #goaltracker #augustweighin #weighin #weighintracker #dailyweighin #tracker #weightlosscommunity #caloriedeficit #caloriecounting #weightlossgoals #goals #goalsetting https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCm-VfLfVU/?utm_medium=tumblr

🏋🏼‍♀️Fitness Friday 🏋🏼‍♀️ Listen, I have no idea what I’m doing half the time. My form is off, I’m not low enough, and so much more of all those things that used to make me too embarrassed to try things at the gym. But my body is AMAZING. It can do, or will at least TRY to do, anything I ask of it. Covered in sweat and a bit of floor dirt, it pushes on. My body isn’t perfect, my technique is far from it too. But I LOVE how moving my body makes me feel. And if I’m not sore the next, I’m a little disappointed. 😅 So if you’re holding yourself back from trying something new at the gym, here’s your sign to DO IT! I could not care less if anyone is watching or judging me. Because I’m doing it to better my self and my health. And if all others can see is the imperfect, that’s their problem. (Plus, most people are too busy staring at themselves in the mirrors anyway. 😂) How are you moving your body today? ☺️ #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #plussizefitness #plussizefit #plussizefitnessjourney #plussizefitnessmotivation #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #workout #workoutmotivation #fatgirlgetsfit #fatgirlgettingfit #fatgirlfit #fatgirlfitness #gymtime #fatgirlinthegym #fitnessfriday #weightlosscommunity #weightlossmotivation #moveyourbody #feelgoodinyourskin https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRj21kA6kx/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the part of the journey that hard to share. Last week was FRUSTRATING. After a month and a half of doing whatever, I was back on my game. And more so than before! Calorie deficit, 100 oz of water, and quality gym time! AND I KEPT GAINING. But here I am today, after days of saying I don’t even care anymore. I’m making. A healthy breakfast and prioritizing my to do list to include back day at the gym tonight. Because as easy as it would be to just say never mind (AGAIN), I’m refusing to give up on myself. I’m trying to focus on how good it felt that day I killed legs (and how my legs are still killing me 😅). I’m trying to focus on taking my daughter outside to play and she needed a break before I did. I’m not one who usually lets the scale affect me, but man, this week got to me. So I have to remind myself that I’m not doing this for the scale. I’m doing this for that little dance I did when I pushed through that final squat (and a stranger who was doing a much more advanced version of my set saw me and said “you rocked that”). I’m doing this for the absolutely beautiful laugh my daughter gave when I was able to chase her around and catch her (when I usually would have distracted her with a different activity). I’m doing this to FEEL good in this body that is my home. And while I’ll keep checking the scale every day, I’ll continue to remind myself, it’s about how I’m GROWING, not shrinking. 💕 #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #plussizefitness #plussizefit #plussizefitnessjourney #plussizefitnessmotivation #fatgirlfitness #fatgirlfit #fatgirlgetsfit #fatgirlgettingfit #weightlosscommunity #weightlossprogress #theharddays #countingcalories #caloriecounting #caloriedeficit #40poundsdown https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0y7RJgr_I/?utm_medium=tumblr

⚡️Transformation Tuesday⚡️ June 1, 2020 vs June 1, 2021 Same outfit, different girl. A year ago today I “started again”. Now I’m down 41 pounds. Did I think I’d be “further along” in this journey at 1 year? Absolutely. Am I disappointed? Not really. I’ve lost and kept off 40 pounds!!! I DID THAT. I am so proud of what this mind and body can accomplish that I don’t have time to look back on the “if I’d only...”. Onward is the only way to go. Because a year ago, I had no idea how to count calories. A year ago I wouldn’t have thought about spending money on new clothes for my current body (instead of waiting till I’d lost “a little bit more” weight). A year ago I wouldn’t have gone to a new gym in a white shirt that hugged my stomach. A year ago my self-doubt was creeping in the back of my head saying “what if I give up again?” Not any more. I’ve learned to give myself some grace, because this is truly a journey of love. What am I willing to do to love myself the best I can? I can’t wait to see a year from now. 🥰 #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #transformationtuesday #weightlosstransformation #weightloss #weightlossjourney #plussizefitness #plussizefitnessjourney #caloriedeficit #caloriecounting #countingcalories #selflovejourney #sidebyside #fatgirlgettingfit #fatgirlgetsfit #fatgirlfitness #fatgirlfit #40poundsdown #weightlossmotivation #fitness #fitnessjourney #workout #workforit https://www.instagram.com/p/CPmdhewAjR7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Usually I insist that a workout is either my alone time or my time with other adults. As a mom and teacher, I don’t get much of either. But today it hit me: this is exactly what I want her to see. Moving my body for fun! All I want is to be the best example for my daughter and that means letting her see (and be a part of) all the work that goes into being my best self. Love her to inspiring me. 💕 #fatfitness #plussizeworkout #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #plussizefitness #plussizefitnessjourney #plussizefitnessmotivation #fitness #fitnessjourney #plussizehealth #fatgirlgetsfit #fatgirlgettingfit #caloriedeficit #caloriecounting #countingcalories #50poundsdown #50lbsdown #weightlosscommunity #wearwhatyouwant #fatgirlsworkouttoo #lookatthatjiggle #moveyourbody #loveyourself #progress #homeworkout #maygoals #danceworkout #moveittoloseit https://www.instagram.com/p/CObrP_xgLzO/?igshid=oumr8jvffhew

Let’s talk about a NSV. Bracelets. Ok, so first off, the plasticy ones are not stretchy. Very little give. But, I wasn’t too excited when I slipped them on. And then I found the small stack of gold bangles with the hard chunky bracelet at Cato and almost cried because I was able to slide them right on (and they were on sale!). I love jewelry. My go-to has always been earrings, even in high school, because chubby earlobes were easier to fit than my giant hands and wrists. I bought plus size bracelet a few times, but i hates having to spend extra for a set just like the regular size. When I put these bracelets on I triple checked the tag, searching for the “plus” label. Nope. These are “regular” sized. Also, 2nd NSV: wearing whatever the heck I feel cute in and not wondering what people will think. Btw, more proof that women’s sizes mean absolutely nothing—the Jean jacket is a 3x and closes, but is snug. The skirt is a 14/16. 🙃 #plussize #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #nsv #nonscalevictory #caloriedeficit #caloriecounting #countingcalories #weightlosscommunity #fatgirlgetsfit #fatgirlgettingfit #fatgirllosingweight #50lbsdown #50poundsdown #wearitloveit #progress #slowprogress #slowprogressisstillprogress #slowandsteady https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvt29-AkpX/?igshid=k91hoq9075hc

Note to self: you’re in a snow storm. In Texas. Power is out. It’s okay that eating is a priority while nutrition isn’t so much. It’s ok that tracking every calorie isn’t happening. The scale is shifting back up. Not drinking nearly enough water. But you’re safe. Your family is safe. And you are making it through. Grace, not guilt. #giveyourselfgrace #gracenotguilt #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #weightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlossmotivation #plussizefitness #plussizefitnessjourney #fitnessjourney #fitness #down50lbs #50poundsdown #50lbsdown #weightlosscommunity #loveyourself #takecareofyourself #texassnow #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CLY-fvXFhgu/?igshid=ouy5w8pesy8r

Things look and move sooo much differently when you wear no-compression pants. 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 But that’s my body. And I love it. I love it enough to move it. I love it enough to seek out more nutrient-rich foods. I love it enough not to hide it. And that’s...growth. 🌱 Speaking of growth, swipe to see me decide “hard doesn’t mean quit. It means make it work for you.” #plussize #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlossjourney #plussizefitness #plussizefitnessjourney #fitness #fitnessjourney #plussizeworkout #workout #50poundsdown #50lbsdown #progress #growth #moveyourbody #loveyourbody #loveyourself #fatgirlgettingfit #fatgirlgetsfit #jiggle #igotthis #popsugarfitness #homeworkout #homeworkouts #exercise #plussizeexercise https://www.instagram.com/p/CLVB3MXlgwg/?igshid=14d8f6qqgs4sy

#facetofacefriday Tried to get the angle the same 😂. It’s so hard for me to find face pictures that accurately represent my face “then and now”. I’ve perfected the head tilt/ angle combo that hide some of my chins. But here’s to my main chin showing a bit more and a peek of a jaw line! #plussize #plussizeweightloss #plussizeweightlossjourney #fatgirlgetsfit #fatgirlgettingfit #fatgirlfitness #weightloss #weightlossjourney #progress #progresspic #facetofacetransformation #weightlosstransformation #caloriedeficit #caloriecounting #countingcalories https://www.instagram.com/p/CLNGhTdFgPz/?igshid=ysv5mr62ocvb
