Still Making Progress

Hello wonderful people!

I haven’t posted for awhile! Life has been busy and staying healthy hasn’t been the highest priority in my life.

As I continue my journey I have found that even though I haven’t made a ton of progress, I’m still making progress. Knowing that I am making progress allows me to keep moving forward in my journey!

Since I started my journey back in lockdown, I’ve kept track of my weight, I have lost 20 pounds. I’m not sure it’s even noticeable, but I feel a difference!

#KeepGoing #BeyondProud

Most of my weight loss I would say is because I stopped drinking pop. It’s been 225 days since I last had soda. It’s crazy to think that in the spur of the moment I decided to give up pop and that it would be one of the best decisions I made in 2020!

225 days seems like forever ago!!! Now I think it’s important that I start working out a little bit more and start to hold myself more accountable. I’ve been slacking in that department. We all know that no process is easy, but as long as we continue to try there will be some sort of progress!

I am happy with my progress and where I am at, but I am not finished because I haven’t met my goal yet! I still have a long road until I reach my goal, but one of these days I will get there. Until then I will continue to stay positive and do my very best!!!

WATER..WATER!!!

Hello lovely people!

It has been a minute since I last posted an update. I am finishing up my last semester of school which involves 8 weeks of student teaching and it hasn’t been the easiest 8 weeks.

I am 5 weeks in and I’m just now feeling like I can go back to what I was doing before school started. With that being said I kind got away from my calorie counting. I plan on picking it back up this week. A stressful time caused me to move away from what I was doing.

I haven’t weighed myself so I can’t update you on my weight. I still have a goal in mind and eventually I will achieve it! I have to get back on track and continue to push forward!

In other news.. which is the good news! I have continued drinking more water and drinking no pop! I am 54 days into NOT drinking any pop! Over the last couple of weeks I’ve found myself craving it, but I have outlasted those cravings!

Continue being successful 🥰

Therefore, I am beyond proud of that progress! Life sometimes gets in the way of things we are trying to achieve. You have two options when that happens, you can either give in & never continue trying to achieve your goal OR you can say, “yeah I slipped up, but it’s time to get back to business”!

With that being said, this is my post about how I’m getting back to business & looking to achieve my goals!

Quitting Isn’t An Option…

Hello lovely people!

A little update…
I have officially hit 24 days of no pop! I’ve always heard it takes 21 days to break a habit so we will see!
I am beyond happy with my progress even on the rough days and realize there is still more to achieve.

But this update isn’t the best one I’ve had since I started my journey.
This week has been the hardest week yet! Didn’t lose any weight and didn’t do a great job of counting my calories.
There will be weeks when I struggle or don’t do as well as I want, but I will just keep staying positive and pushing forward! I’m not quitting because that is not an option!

Quitting isn’t an option 💪🏼

Quick Update…

Hello!!

Stopping by to make a quick update on my #letsgetHEALTHY journey!

Going into this journey I told myself it would definitely take some time and dedication to see the change. So far I am LOVING this journey!!

The update starts with still going strong with cutting the pop out. Drinking water has gotten a lot easier. Going strong with 19 days of no pop. To a lot of people 19 days isn’t much, but to me it is huge step in the right direction!

Here’s the really exciting news…

I am down 8.5 pounds from where I started! WOWZA 😯 I know it’s not a lot, but this is huge to me. I’m still in shock with my progress.

So happy with my progress and dedication to my journey! Still a lot more room to go, but really PROUD of myself! At this point, what’s important is that I am proud of myself, staying dedicated to what I’m trying to achieve and becoming a healthier me!

Rainy days, still dedicated

Hello lovely supporters!

I never thought I would be so invested in becoming a healthier person who wants to lose weight & be more active, but here I am! Yesterday I took the evening to walk and be active after dinner.

Even though it was raining I told myself that If I was actually going to be dedicated to changing my habits then that meant I would have to do the things I don’t always want to do. Walking in the rain is one of those things I don’t want to do 😂

I walked in the rain and honestly ENJOYED every minute of it! Who would’ve guessed.. not me!

Today, I had some good news..

I was getting ready to head to the campground for the weekend. In a week, since I have stopped drinking pop, counting my calories, watching my portions and being more active. I HAVE LOST 4 POUNDS!

To a lot of people that is nothing, but to me that is huge!!! My dad and I talked about how seeing those small results is what keeps you going! I honestly have no idea what has gotten into me, but I am ALL IN 💪🏼
