Lame username, quality girl. I'm 25 and just looking to love myself again.

This next week's grocery list and meal plan for our meal prepping!!

You guys. Aldi is serioulsy my favorite place to go. I got two weeks worth of groceries for under $160, which is saying something because I live with two grown ass men that eat a lot! 

I’m excited for Sunday to already just be here so we can start prepping for next week’s meals!

Even just starting this tumblr and scrolling through other tumblrs in the weight loss/health community, I am super excited to work out tomorrow. Seeing gifs and videos and photos of other’s journeys and experiences makes you feel less alone. 

Bring on day Two!!

So, it was painfully obvious that I literally never work out anymore because Maggie the Dog had no idea how to react to me doing lunges and planks. She jumped on me and barked and ended up laying on my mat for a while.  Get used to this Maggie, Mama’s gonna be getting fit!

8/10/2018 - The beginning.

Okay, I am putting my weight and stats out there. Here we go:

8/10/18 -  Height: 4 ft. 10 inches Weight: 134 lbs

Flexibility level on a scale of 1 to 10: 3 Y’all. Its bad. I can’t touch my toes anymore. 

How am I mental, starting out on this journey? I’m humiliated. Embarrassed. Ashamed. I feel disconnected to my sexual and confident self. I feel a lack of self care in myself. I don’t feel the need to put time into myself, like taking a soothing bath or fixing my hair and make up before work. When the opportunity arises to do something physical, like a walk with the family, I create reasons as to why I don’t want to or can’t. 

BUT, that is all going to change.  I made myself workout today. I got on the floor and did 35 minutes of Pilates. It took all of 2 seconds into that 35 minutes to realize I was no longer good at Pilates. I no longer had my flexibility I once had, even five years ago. But, it was day ONE. I will pat myself on the back for doing it and then going for a 15 minute walk with my dog Maggie afterwards. 

Day one: A success !

Welcome friend, to my little slice of the internet. 

I have never actually done a video blog, or vlog as the kid call it..at least I think they still call it that..But I need motivation. I need an outlet. I need a safe space to air out my grievances and worries and triumphs. 

I struggled with my weight and how I view myself for as long as I remember. I’ve always been a short person and, as well all know, weight shows up faster on someone who is, say 4′10 vs. someone who is 5′7. 

So this is my little intro into what I hope to do with the tumblr for myself and for others.
