Hard Work

I let myself go a few years ago...
wow. Feels good to actually come clean and say that. My freshmen year of college I stopped working out and starting eating/drinking crap. I had always grown up eating very healthy (My mom has Juvenille Diabetes so she didn't keep sweets or cokes in the house). I didn't think I was eating particullarly healthy, it was just what I knew. And since the 7th grade I had played all kinds of sports.

Well with all that freedom I gained weight...alot of weight. I had some bad influences in my life and wasn't caring about myself.

Last August I started attending spin classes and fell in love. And even more recently (in May) I started doing Muscle Pump classes and I'm now hooked. Ive dropped 2 sizes and I'm working on more.

I don't ever want to go back to that weight.
I'm not at my goal yet and I still make mistakes and skip workouts but I'm much happier with the way I look and feel.
(And that feeling is magnified when someone tells me how great I look).

I'm going to my consultation for CrossFit next week and hopefully I won't be too scared to join.
But isn't that what this whole journey is about?
Putting myself in "scary" situations...if it was all about being comfortable then I wouldn't have changed.

Total Slacker

I'm a horrible blogger.

There, I said it.

I could give you a ton of excuses but I'm just going to jump right back into it. I might post once or twice a week because things are very hectic right now. But I promise I will post!

Now to what's been keeping me so busy:


The day finally came...my best friend is now a Mrs.  She was absolutely beautiful and calm and it was a weekend full of love and joy.

I am so happy for the two of you. :)
And thank you for letting me wear such a pretty dress and that amazing flower in my hair!

New Adventure...

Since I've been having a rough couple of days, my mom and dad decided to let me have our puppy, Wendy, with me at school.

She is the best cuddler.
