Happy 7 lbs Friday!

Goooood Morning friends! ~


First off; Happy Friday! What are you all up to this weekend?
Me? Im thinkin a little gardening, farmers market, workouts, backyard fire, walking, and some cookin out ;)

Its official... I weighed in this AM... down 7 lbs (181!). I have to attribute it to a few things...

My healthier "unhealthy" lunches (think; flatout light wraps, a little spaghetti sauce (with veg already in it), extra veg, little cheese, and turkey pepperoni ---- be sure to spray the pan though, I learned the hard way:/
 Plenty of fruit ~{{  from my garden too!;) }} & VEG!
 When I do have time to workout (OK I lied, I always have time) --- when I don't make excuses NOT to work out... I go hard.
Lower calorie "adult-beverages". Skinnygirl Margs & Miller 64 are my signature summer drinks thus far!

Reading back at these pics I've officially decided the word of the day is VEG... hahaha...


So tell me; Have you been switching things up? Please share with meee! I get bored easily and LOVE new challenges!!! I'm on a LEG mission also lately, so look for a good leg workout coming to a blog post near you... ;) I lied, I am not going to do a weekend recap because its already the new weekend so Ill just keep you all in the loop on how I'm doing... weekends are always the hardest for me!

Next up today; Taco Thursday! I got a great idea from @The Lean Green Bean  -- she is such a genius!!! ;)

June commitment, Treadmill workout, WELCOME BACK;)

Some of you probably thought I fell off the wagon! Well, I kinda did I guess ;P


I'm back. I've been a bit of a fitness page slacker. I apologize:) I have been trying to re inspire myself, and get back into a groove... I think this will help hold me accountable.
Lets get started...

I got back up to around 188lb recently{as most people who have lost a sig amount of weight tend to fluctuate, this is getting a little too close to 190 for me... wake up call!}. I am back down around 181-182 after a few weeks of strict eating/workouts...and I want to continue down this path. =)

I noticed within the last 6 mos. my body changing, and my eating habits I feel really hadn't changed much, mostly healthy, the occasional splurge (1-2x's a week as usual)... But I did just turn 26. :/ It is in fact, true, that as you age, your body/metabolism changes. So I just need to keep trying HARDER than I did back when I was 21/22...and just say no to the pizza! ;)...aaaaand switch it up (like my new treadmill workout I will tell you about in a few.)

My commitment to myself in June is to keep getting in my fruits, veggies, and to try and keep all unhealthy snacks out of my house! We don't have a lot going on this month traveling-wise, so staying on track should be EASIER than May, May was cray cray! (yes, I said cray...I know, Im not Kanye.) ALSO: to keep blogging and updating for all you fabulous fit folks (F cubed. haha) ;)mmm hmmm Im a dork.

One last thing; I think as I have been changing in my fitness journey, my page will be soon changing as well (name wise, etc.) So be on the look out :)
