Hi, I'm Kelly. 19 year old Florida girl & I'm ready to turn my life around. I've been pretty self-destructive by eating to ruin my body and I'm trying to change that, but habits are hard to break. I want to be a runner, I want to be fit and healthy, and most importantly: I want to be happy. This is my journey.

10 day food challenge: day 1
B: small cheese sandwich, orange juice.
L: tuna & coffee.
D: chicken breast, carrots & corn.
S: orange & yogurt.
Overall? SUCCESS. Fuckyeah!
I’ve been making really poor food choices lately. It sucks because I can’t expect to lose anything this way and it’s bumming me out.
So, I’m starting a challenge. Not tomorrow— TODAY. If for the next 10 days I’m binge free/listen to my body and feed it when it’s actually hungry rather than when I’m bored/choose the healthier option, I’m rewarding myself with a tattoo I’ve been wanting to get since FOREVER.
I’ve never stuck to anything for ten days before. Let’s see how it goes.
What’s that? This girl now weighs 138 lbs? After being in the 140s for MONTHS?
Das’ cool, das’ cool.
New piercings! The 2 studs :) That’s 7 total, yay. Love them.
I’m rewarding my next 5lb loss with an Industrial, since my piercing guy said to get in touch with him and he’d hook me up with a discount. Win.
Haven’t updated in a while…
Just because I’m not sure what to write.
I’m still exercising and loving it more than ever. I actually look forward to going to the gym now and don’t mind spending 2+ hours there. The classes really help. Zumba is amazing as always and I’m doing TRX again tomorrow.
My eating hasn’t been all that stellar, but I’m trying. I think I’m still losing inches, I think. Good good good. Silently making progress, haha.
Bought this today because I had a discount. And because I’ve been wanting to try protein shakes, but the ones my brother uses all have LITERALLY 950 CALORIES. ARE YOU FUCKING ME.
No way I was going to consume 950 calories in one sitting in exchange for 50g of protein, so I’ll take 15g for 100 calories. Probably gonna use 2 scoops though, so: 200 calories, 30g of protein. Win times.
Zumba tomorrow. I might even go there early so I can do weights and try this baby out.
i was going to say that i’m upset that i’ve eating so damn much today,
but I woke up this morning and discovered that I could feel my GUNZ without much flexing and I can feel that little “muscle bump” on my biceps, so I am no longer mad.
Total NSV.
My zumba bracelets arrived today!
Check out PARTYHEARTY.ORG if you’re interested in knowing more; it’s basically involving Zumbathon as a charity fundraiser that goes towards helping out the American Heart Association.
It’s a great cause and hey, can’t beat the amazingness that is zumba.
WIW - 3/9/11
Last: 140.0
Today: 139.2
Loss: -0.8
Not bad, not bad. I’ll see you April 1st, Mr. Scale.
dear self,
I’m gonna need you to stop being afraid of failing and/or succeeding.
My therapist and I talked about this in our last session and I really think it’s the hardest for me to overcome. I can’t stand the thought of failing so I just don’t try, and I always sabotage myself when I start to get close to my goals because change scares the fuck out of me.
Not looking forward to tomorrow’s weigh in. At all. I’m probably up from the 139 I was the other day because lately after a great workout, I eat like a beast because I feel SO HUNGRY and justify eating a lot because I “want to replenish” or some shit. And I know you’re supposed to eat after the gym/it’s good for you/whatever, but not like. A full course meal. Ya dig?
I haven’t felt fully accomplished after my workouts lately because I’ve gotten to a comfortable point and I tend to stop when I feel tired. It sucks. I realize what I have to do and I just DONT, so then I get so frustrated. I think after tomorrow, I’m not weighing in until April 1st and actually… try to get my butt in gear.
It just terrifies me. I put on my weight almost unconsciously; I ate and ate while online games ate me up so I cooped myself inside and let the years pass by. Anything different is scary. There’s some girl inside me that wants to get out but the girl I am now is scared shitless of everything she could turn out to be.
This. Needs. To. Change. Change is good. Change is necessary. Scary as it may be, change may actually help.
Skipped Bootcamp but went to TRX— LOVED IT.
Some of the moves were pretty challenging, which is good. It’s an AMAZING arm workout and the instructor is really funny/all around awesome. If you have no idea what TRX is, click heeeere.
Also! I always hear about people talking to the person next to them or finding a super cool running famous person/someone’s achieved a lot of running amazingness but it’s never happened for me… until today!
The guy on the treadmill running next to mine saw that I was struggling a little bit and he was like “You know, it helps if you get talking! Makes breathing easier & distracts the mind.” So we started chatting and turns out that he’s run 2 full marathons and is currently training for his 3rd. I told him about my plan to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon in 2012 and he wished me luck & that he hopes I do great on my goal. It was nice :)
FITBLR CONVENTION 2011
The Location and Date has been chosen!
In order to organize the details of the convention I need to know more information from you!
Please fill out this short, 8 question FITBLR CONVENTION SURVEY
Also, please re-blog to spread the word so everybody can have their input in this monumental event!
I wonder if I can hitchhike from FL to DC, since that’s probably the only way I’d be able to go. Money isn’t really the issue as opposed to the POOR 19 YEAR OLD ENDS UP IN CANADA BY MISTAKE news headlines that would pop up.
Fresh out of the shower after a great session of Zumba.
I’m practically going to live at the gym tomorrow, so for the first time in… years, my hair is without any product whatsoever.
It’s frizzing a bit as I type.
But I’m okay with it; it’s going to be up and I’m up for trying a more natural feel.
I feel like I ate too much today. Not beating myself up. Not being hard on myself. I love my body and all its been learning to do. Hugs.
About to…
head to Zumba. Gonna dance my ayussss off, oh yes.
Today’s eating has been shit, but I’m not really worried. Gasp and shock. It’s whatev. I ate when I was hungry, stopped when I was full, and I’m not worried about snacking shit I don’t really want. Mmmhm.
mmmhmmm.
Rest day was much appreciated, and now I’m ready to start kicking ass & taking names at the gym starting tomorrow. Every day is BOOKED with exercise until next Sunday :)
Life is good. Smile.
