Confused
Well hello there friends. How was your weekend? I hope you moms had a great mothers day! I sure did. It’s always a good day when I get to spend it with this cutie I actually got to sleep in, then we laid in bed cuddling for a bit. The hubs made breakfast while I took a long shower and took my time getting ready. After doing some housework I took Little P shopping for some new shoes. Girlfriend is quite the shopper. She found some shoes she loved right away and wouldn’t change her mind, no matter how hard I tried. Love her. We looked at clothes too. She…

Weigh In Wednesday: Whole30 Week 3 Results
We are half way through the week! Yes! That means we are that much closer to the end of my Whole30. Not that I’m counting down… ahem. Anyway… It’s Weigh In Wednesday! Time to check in on our progress this week! I’m in the middle of week 4 of my Whole30… and it hasn’t been easy. Read my recap of week 3 and it’s clear to see that I’ve had my struggles. But you can also see I’ve had some HUGE changes in my body. Check out this halfway point picture (it’s been overused – I know. But the results are still shocking!) I can’t wait to see my final…

Weigh In Wednesday: Whole30 Week 2 Results
So here it is Day 17 of my Whole30 Challenge… And like I wrote in the recap of week 2 – it was a tough week. Dang hormones/emotions/cravings. I wanted to know I was seeing results. Sure I generally feel better. I am sleeping better. I am enjoying coffee with just canned coconut milk or black (but still missing my creamy sweet coffee treats… Caramal Macchiato anyone?) But I wanted proof that my body was changing. I tried to convince Chris to take my pictures to compare but he said I’d like having just a before and after to see more dramatic changes. True, I guess… So I broke one…

Weigh In Wednesday: Whole 30 Week 1 Results
Two posts in one day, aren’t you lucky! Time for a check in on my Whole30 Progress so far! Since weighing yourself is not allowed on Whole30 I’m going to stick to some measurements. I wasn’t sure how this week was going to go with the GO STL half marathon on Sunday. I usually tend to bloat after a race, holding on to water and what not. I ended up doing a pretty intense lifting session Monday night and a WOD on Tuesday morning so today is my first total rest day since the race. I haven’t got back out to run yet, I just haven’t been feeling it,…

Weigh In Wednesday: Whole30 Before Stats
So it’s the start of Day 3 of the Whole30 and I’m still alive. I’m still not sure if I’m going to post daily updates throughout the week or if I’ll just do a weekly update post. There are several other bloggers who are doing the Whole30 this month so I am going to host a weekly link up for us to check in with each other. Every Monday we will link up our recaps of the week. This way we can stay accountable to each other and get meal/planning ideas! So be sure to come back on Monday for our first link up! Now let’s talk “before” stats. Here…

Weigh In Wednesday
So, here we are another weigh in wednesday. This time there is no dietbet goal to meet or talk about (although I’m for sure doing another one… April, maybe?) and to be honest I think I need to give myself a little break from the scale. I’ve heard so many people talk about breaking up with the scale… and while I like the idea behind it I don’t think I should do it permanently at this point. After tons of weight loss challenges in the last several months I have become a little to focused on the number. It stresses me out, and it really can make or break my…

Weigh In Wednesday: How to Motivate Yourself {giveaway}
What up, homies! It’s Wednesday, that means it is time for Weigh In Wednesday! I’m linking up with Erin and Alex again, love the motivation of the community that comes with this link up! Monday was the last day of the Dietbet Spring Break Shape up, and I’m proud to say I finally weighed in under 190 and I’m still there today (even after last night’s cookie binge… Thanks Aaron!) So, I won the dietbet! Along with several other people. The buy in was $35 and we won $48.30. Not a HUGE win, but a win nonetheless! Remember the last few weeks I’ve talked about being in a funk? Well over the…

Weigh In Wednesday: In a Funk
Oh yay. Time for another Weigh In Wednesday. If I were to be really honest with you I would tell you I’m struggling right now. Sure, I’ve managed to meet my dietbet goal and stay under it… But I have been stuck lately. Mentally I am just in such a funk. Meal planning has been hard, we’ve eaten out more than we should, indulged in too many cheats… but when I realized that I have only lost 7 lbs in the last 6 months I got kinda frustrated. I work my tail off. I know the scale doesn’t tell all, but when I feel like I work so hard and…

Weigh In Wednesday: Stuck in a Holding Pattern
Whew- Wednesday already? It has been a whirlwind of a week for sure. I just realized that since last week’s weigh in I have only worked out twice! We left at 2am on Friday morning and spent the whole day in the car driving some equipment down to my family in Florida. Spent Saturday and Sunday with my family and left to drive home at 2am Monday. So we spent close to 40 hours in the car, had a short time to get things done while in Florida which meant no workouts and less than stellar food choices. Not to mention road trips always make me dehydrated. I don’t…

Weigh In Wednesday: On Nutrition
It is that time of week again! Weigh In Wednesday! After last weeks weigh in for the beginning of the dietbet I knew this week HAD to be better. This week was good. I’ve been trying to get back on track with my CrossFit Endurance Half Marathon training plan (I’m just a few days behind) and have been feeling good about most of my runs. I’ve been trying to make mostly healthy choices with my food. I haven’t been tracking like I know I should though. To be honest, I’m still working through my views on food and nutrition. I’m reading the book It Starts With Food By Dallas & Melissa Hartwig…
