Rude people.
I am going to apologize in advance because I don’t normally post rants but this is going to be one. I know that I lead a healthy lifestyle. I do NOT restrict myself from food or drinks or activities with my friends because I am worried about getting “fat”. I try to eat the way I do because I literally have an intolerance to gluten. Not because I don’t WANT to eat pizza. Who doesn’t want pizza?? But if I ate it all the time I would be physically ill and covered in eczema all the time. I go to the gym 5 days a week because I LOVE it. It makes me feel better physically, emotionally and mentally. I don’t get mad at myself when I...

Read MoreTaking a Break from the Gym and a Mini-Meltdown
So exactly a week ago I posted this picture on Instagram and noticed that while I was getting leaner, I was also getting smaller. That morning my knee was also killing me so I didn’t do sprints. Then Friday night the Fatkid and I were getting ready for dinner when we both realized that I looked too thin and we figured out that I have lost about 5-6 pounds in the last few weeks. This is not good. It means even though I think I am handling all the stress well, my body is not. It was confirmed when I went to the gym Saturday morning for legs – my favorite thing to do – and I could barely push through. I decided on Sunday that this week I would set my...
Read MoreTwo Year Blogiversary
So our Two Year Blogiversary has come and gone it was February 26th and last year I had a great post for it and I have my first ever blog post too. This year I was so slammed with life that I did post on Facebook about it and even though we didn’t get to 10,000 Likes the day OF our Blogiversary, we got there the day after so I am going to host a giveaway with FireDaughter Clothing – my all time favorite local workout clothing designer. Samya is amazing. I am going to give her a minute to get back to normal before I host it because she has a loss in her family she is dealing with so I will probably do it next week. So a little late but Happy Two Year...
Read MoreA long week.
The week that won’t end…. So I was debating whether or not to post about the horrifying shooting that happened in Connecticut yesterday, but I decided I couldn’t leave it out of this post because I spent six hours glued to the news yesterday as the story unfolded. What I will say about it is this, in the words of Morgan Freeman: “You can help by forgetting you ever read [the shooter's] name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem.” My heart goes out to all of the victims and families of this kind of violence. Not just this incident, but...

Read Morea little honesty
Sooooo…… first off – thank you to everyone who commented or messaged me about our engagement pics I couldn’t be happier with them. Now for a little brutal honesty…. I have been thinking about shutting down the blog. I know. I feel like it can’t really be a surprise based on how little I have been blogging lately and to be honest I sort of felt like I just forgot why I started it in the first place. Then I got my own swift kick in the butt today when I opened a message from Beth (one of my readers who has written me a few times with questions or comments). She dropped a note to let me know how she was doing with her fitness and health goals and...
Read MoreBirthday, anniversary, and engagement pics!
So I have two recipes that I have been meaning to share with you guys and things have just completely gotten away from me (again). Every time I think I have a handle on this semester with school/work/life, etc. I realize that I just don’t, so please bear with me through December because next semester’s load will be much better (I hope). I promise I will get the recipes to you soon The last few weeks have been crazy so I think I am just going to share my life in pictures with you guys First – It was the Fatkid’s 30th Birthday and our four year anniversary. I surprised him with a trip to Waikiki (which I have been secretly planning and saving...
Read MoreWeekend Recap and Wedding Update :))
So last weekend the Fatkid and I drove out to California to see his two sisters, mom, brother-in-law and niece. It was a great trip and while we were there I found my dress!! Finally although now that I found it I am freaking out about how soon the wedding is actually going to come – there is so much to do still. Mostly invitations and decorations – good thing I will have lots of help from my MOH – she is soooo good at all that creative stuff Here is a little photo re-cap of the weekend and I am trying a new recipe tonight with pumpkin so I will let you guys know how it turns out once I try it. Don’t forget you can still enter the HTC One...
Read Moregetting ready for engagement pictures!
Yikes! So I realized yesterday that our engagement pictures are 4 weeks from this Sunday. Whoops :/ I guess I should’ve been a little cleaner on my eats lately but 4 weeks is plenty of time as long as I stick with it. Before I go into that here is a little re-cap of what’s been going on in our lives Our weekly date nights 7:30 AM Saturday legs and cardio – this is seriously my favorite thing right now. It guarantees I get a good night’s sleep on Friday and then I have my whole Saturday left! A WIAW that didn’t make it (oops!!) The top is greek yogurt with almonds and strawberries and then tuna and avocado (new fav) the bottom is soup...
