Getting back on the fucking wagon. At home brunch 2 farm raised eggs Some cheddar cheese 2 strips of bacon Small navel orange A few stalks of baked asparagus

I’ve had so many highs and lows on this blog. Mainly lows. But I am absolutely done. I have hit my highest weight ever, and I’ve been this weight for a year now. A whole year. Wow. I can barely fit into half my clothes. I feel gross all the time. I barely take picture anymore because I don’t want anyone to see my double chin.

I’m over it. I have to put more time into myself. Even if it means going to bed earlier, and waking up earlier to fit in time to workout. I have to get my eating under control. Which sucks because right now I pretty much have an aversion to vegetables and I don’t know why. I have to drink more water. I have to take better care of myself. It’s going to be about a 5 month journey to getting there, and lifetime of maintenance. But dammit, I’m starting.

New Goals

I swear I change my goals all the time, but whatever!

My new goals are to lose 15-20 pounds by my 21st which is about 10 weeks away.

Eat clean 4-5 days a week, with no cheat meals. Cheat meals can be on the weekends.

Do internal running 3 times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) Do HIIT through sworkit 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)

On Mon/Wed I work outside and usually walk 4-6 miles a shift, so on those days I will do less intense HIIT.

Here we go!

Weekly Round Up! 7/20-7/25

Hi Hi!

So I’m going to do these posts every week for updates.

I’m SO HAPPY BECAUSE I LOST 3 POUNDS! EPPP. Hardwork can pay off. Right now I’m still doing Paleo with a few cheats here and there. Like yesterday when I got Taco Bell (make anything Fresco and it is actually healthier). 

I’ve been doing sworkit daily, and drinking 80-90 ounces of water a day! 

A few things I’ll be make next week are Paleo Sloppy Joes and Black Bean Soup (my own recipe, I’ll be sure to post soon!). I usually like to focus on two meals that I can eat off during the week. I also buy veggies, fruits, beans, and morningstar frozen foods to eat for lunch during the week! 

Don’t give up, success is ahead!

ZOODLES, Squash noodles, HOW TO

Ingredients: 

1 Zucchini or Yellow Squash

Salt & Pepper to Taste

2. Heat a pan with coconut oil on it. 

3. Place squash in pan on med-high heat for 2-4 minutes. 

4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over squash and evenly coat.

5. Remove from heat. Optional: Top with Parmesan cheese if adding to an Italian dish.

Paleo-ish Meatballs!

I LOVE MEATBALLS. Here’s how I make mine!

Ingredients: 

1 pound ground turkey (or beef, but I use turkey)

1/2 cup quick oats

1/2 cup onion

1/4-1/4 cup green pepper

Spices you like (I did paprika, cumin, garlic, and red pepper flakes)

Directions: 

1. Combine meat, oats, onion, pepper, and spices in a bowl. 

2. Roll out into balls. About 2 inches wide.

3. Heat oven to 350 and place meatballs on a cookie tray and cook for 15-20 minutes. (WATCH YOUR OVEN)

4. Take out and ENJOY. Yields about 10-12 meatballs. 2 per serving are 186 calories with 18.7 grams of protein YUM YUM.
