hey guys, long time no talk!!

I am back and trying to lose weight. I am currently using Arbonne and doing CrossFit. It’s super late and I work in the morning, so I will post more talking about my progress and how it’s been going so far tomorrow.

I am stoked about being back and blogging about weight loss!

Can’t wait to engage with you guys some more!

FITBLR?!?

I DESPARATELY  want to fill my dash up with fitness, nutrition, workouts, motivation, healthy stuff, people on their weightless/fitness journeys & the like, but going through those tags nowadays is rough! WHY IS MORE THAN HALF THE FITBLR TAG PORN?!

Long story short, if you’re any of that kind of a blog, if you’re on a weight loss journey, PLEASE REBLOG SO I CAN FOLLOW YOU!! :) :) :)

Telling someone “just eat right and workout” simply does NOT help people, and it needs to 🛑STOP🛑. They may have no idea what “eat right” or “workout” means, nor what to do or where to start.

When you say that, it is like giving a kid a tire iron, a new tire and telling them to change the tire on a Truck as you stand there and watch. It’s not constructive! It’s not positive. It’s sickening and reflects on your moral character. Something that is so easy and natural for you can be incredibly difficult for others.

And, that does NOT make them INVALID as a member of this online community.

Please, self reflect, and show some empathy to the new poeple that are scared out of thier minds right now and full of anxiety because no one, NO ONE is bothering to lend a helping hand. Thank you.

Update! 12/10/17

good afternoon, friends!! I've been so dang busy with last minute projects, tests, and essays that I haven't been able to post much. Just wanted to say that I've lost a whole 8 lbs since thanksgiving! I've been working hard to beat my boyfriend and his dad, let's see if it all works out!

Dinner tonight is a Buffalo Quinoa Bowl! Sooooo good!

Quinoa, black beans, corn, avocado, and shredded buffalo chicken😋

Decided to add strawberries into my oats today. So today I have oats, banana, strawberries, almond butter, chia seeds and ground flax seed!

I also have a question for some of you that eat oats/oatmeal…. do you use water or a milk of some sort? I use water!

I’m baaaack!

I’ve been working on dieting this week, and I would say it’s going great! I have some cravings sometimes, but I try to curve them with something healthier. Today, I decided I would finally workout! I feel so good and so ready to work on myself again!

Also, I made some toast with peanut butter, banana, chia seeds, ground flax seed, and a little honey! So good!

Not the most appetizing looking picture but... it's so good!

Dinner tonight!! Whole grain pasta with tofu sausage and organic tomato and basil sauce 🤗

It was a lot better than I thought it would be, especially because it’s not real meat.

We have a bet going on with my boyfriends dad to see who can lose the most percentage of weight before Christmas break, and we are determined to beat him!! We are *kinda* going vegetarian for this period, but we are eating fish. We are just tired of eating chicken so we decided to try vegetarian substitute!
