From Phlab 2 Phit: A fitness e-book Today is the day that I have been working towards for the past few months. This is the reason I have been so extremely MIA.

New Year: New Goals

New Year: New Goals

Yes I’m being cliche and making some 2015 Resolutions, but what is a new year without them right? For me, resolutions have always been set way too high and I’ve never been able to achieve them. This year will be different; over the past 6 months I have set, reached, and failed to reach so many goals. I have learned what is doable for me and what is out of my reach for the moment. 2014 was an…

#2014STORY

My #2014STORY is a long one. The first picture is from my NYC trip in March. The middle is July, I thought I looked great. I saw the pictures and I was horrified. I was happier, but still hating my body. The left picture is from today: I am happy, confident, and comfortable in my own skin.

2014started out like every other year, minus a resolution. Growing up I always made resolutions, I never…

How to Stay Healthy Through Christmas

It’s getting to be that time when all you want to do is snuggle up in a blanket and watch your favorite tv show, movie, or just browse the internet; the days are shorter and it’s getting colder, causing us to become lazy. Getting out of my warm bed in the morning to go to the gym is a struggle, staying away from the Christmas treats and hot cocoa is most challenging of all, and with Christmas a…

Healthy Eats on the Go

Having such a busy lifestyle makes it difficult to eat healthy most of the time. I work long hours resulting in very late nights and early mornings; trying to make time for the gym and personal life take up a majority of the [[little]] free time I actually do have, so making time to prep food when I am already exhausted gets tough. But I still have to eat, right? Normally I would just head to…

My life has been so crazy lately (reason for me being so MIA), but I just wanted to do a recap for you guys on my 5K last week!

Last Saturday I ran my first 5K with my sister! I mentioned I was training for one a few months ago, but I never expected it to go as well as it did. The morning started off unimaginable… It was cold, rainy, and I was miserable; the whole time I kept asking myself why?…

More of #WeekUno

The Fit Girl’s Guide calls for you to post “Before and After Pictures”. These pictures will be taken every week and are there to physically see the body changing. Scales change and don’t change, but the body shows what the scale doesn’t; these pictures are crucial.

In the gym, yesterday, it was #BootyDay aka my favorite day of the week. You always see people hating on leg day, but I have a…

Round 2: Day 1

Today was the first day of my second round of FitGirlsGuide’s #28DayJumpStart program! The last time I did this challenge was kind of a bust; I wasn’t in a steady place (emotionally or financially), so it was tough to keep on a specific track. This time, though, I am on point. I have steady income plus I have made a lot of progress since August, so I’m ready to kill this challenge.

The day…

Holiday Wish List: Fit Girl Addition

‘Tis the season for all things presents. For me, this present thing has been going on for the past 2 months but it is starting all over again: birthday season out, Christmas season IN and it is my favorite. Lights, songs, and the whole Christmas spirit is so joyful. But now, after everyone has hung the lights, played the songs (over and over and over again), and has taken pictures with Mall…

Countdown to 5K

A few months back, I had mentioned that I was going to be running a 5K in March with a friend. I started my training a bit early, because I tend to push things off if I have a while until they come up. Since September I have been running 3-4 times a week a distance between 1.5-3 miles, depending on the day. Finally, one day, it started to get easier. My boyfriend’s dad is a runner and mentioned…

Weight Loss Success Sunday

Finally comes the story I have been waiting so long for! I came across Margot on instagram through some other account and for some reason she just stuck out, so I followed her… then I befriended her on Facebook and I am so grateful that I did because she has become a fantastic friend, motivator, and inspiration. Not only is she a fantastic writer (be prepared to be persuaded), she is living proof…

Product Review: PeanutButterCo White Chocolate Wonderful

Is your mouth watering already? Well, it should be. This peanut butter, by PeanutButterCo., is the best thing made since sliced bread. Hell, it’s better than sliced bread. If you are a pb lover like me, you are finicky about what you are eating. Since I have been on my own (about a year and a half), I have been buying natural peanut butters. I went home one day and looked in the pantry to find…

Kick Those Bullies to the Curb

First thing on hand: I apologize for being MIA the past week or two. I started another new job on top of the new job I started before, leaving me working 45+ hours. With trying to stay active in the gym and working this much, I have little to no time for you lovely people.

I know I have spoken quite a bit about motivation and what keeps you going in the gym, but now I want to talk more about what…

#IIFYM What are you talking about, Makenzie? IIFYM, what is that? I was asking the same question just a few days ago, until I did some research.

Weight Loss Success Sunday

It’s Sunday!You know what that means. I am here to share another shocking story by a personal friend of mine. I met Ely a few months back through a mutual friend. At the time, I was going to the gym with this said friend and one day he came with her. Now, I didn’t really know the story behind Ely, I just knew where he was then: lean and strong. But not everyone starts out that way. To this day,…

Keep Up The Love

Over the past few years,while trying to lose weight, I find myself losing motivation. When you are stepping out of your comfort zone and making your life healthier and better it is essential that you have a good, if not great, support system. As a young teenager trying to lose weight, I found it extremely difficult to find the right people to have by my side; being a teenager is hard enough,…
