sooo I just gave my blog a makeover because I want to start posting more on here. if you go on my blog you’ll see I’ve said that so many times before, but I’m finally in a good enough place to be able to.

I’m at least half way through my journey! I never thought I would be able to say this, but after 656 days of eating healthy, and working out almost daily since February (no matter how much I didn’t want to), I’ve lost 15 pounds! that might not sound like a lot, but it’s at least half way to where I want to be! I’ve gained muscle, I’m finally getting toned :) I feel strong and healthy and amazing. I’m so incredibly proud of myself to be here, finally seeing and feeling big results. I’m so happy :) I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I’ve never been this active and healthy before!

I couldn’t do it, but I did it anyway.

i haven’t been on here since june! but i’m back because 

last year my goal was to change my entire diet and start eating completely healthy and keep it that way

i’ve succeeded in doing that (i’ve been eating healthy for 384 days now!), so the rest of this year (and 2013) my goal is to lose weight, but mainly get toned :) i want to be lean and healthy and fit. 

so most likely i’ll be online more 

i miss you guys! hope you’re all doing well <3

hey babes :)

i think i’m going to make an effort to be on this blog more often. i’ve been kindof staying away from it on purpose for a while, because as i mentioned the last time i posted, i’ve been trying to focus on loving myself, and my dashboard here can be a little triggering. 

i’m feeling stronger now though, and a lot better, so i think i’ll definitely try to be on more :) it’s also summer, so i have way more time! 

i just counted the days since i decided to start eating healthy, and it’s been 308 days! almost a whole year eating clean & healthy! i’m proud :) the best part - i don’t even want junk food anymore! seriously, if i crave something sweet i have fruit or frozen yogurt - way better! :)

I haven’t been on here in forever because, even though I’m still exercising and eating only healthy foods, I’ve been trying to focus less on hating myself & needing to lose weight, and more on just loving and accepting myself as I am in the process. 

I still want to be much thinner, but I’ve chosen to love myself now in the meantime. I’m just going to be patient and hopefully, slowly the pounds will come off and eventually be really visible and worth the wait :)

It’s not easy, and there’s always that voice in my head telling me “you’re not good enough, you’re disgusting, you’re too fat” etc. but I’m just trying my absolute hardest to push it out of the way and replace it with what I actually like about myself.

So far, so good. I hope I can keep this up!

I hit 1000+ followers!

ahhhh, i love you guys so much ♡

thanks for always being there for me on this journey. we’re in it together!

remember: set goals, stay focused, stay determined, stay motivated, be happy, get active, eat healthy and always, always, always stay positive! no matter what your goal weight is, you will achieve it. you’ll be fit and skinny and finally feel as beautiful as you already are and always have been.

seriously, i love you all. stay strong :) xxx

okay, so yeah i don’t go on here super often, but i’ve still been working out regularly, pushing my boundaries each day and eating healthy!
