Monday, January 8, I will be starting the Advocare ONE/80 Transformation. It’s 80 days of following the Advocare way and taking their products set up over 3 phases. I’ve used Advocare off and on over the past several years but have never committed to something this big. I know they aren’t perfect and whatever else… Continue reading 80 days… I can do this! Right?!?
A whole PECAN pie last week. Well in 3.5 days to be exact. And I loved it and hated it all at the same time. Seriously WTF is wrong with me! Pie for breakfast? YES. How about pie for lunch? YES, please. And would you like pie for dessert after dinner? Uhm, (raising hand), yes!… Continue reading Confessions of a fat kid – I ate a whole pie.
This train isn’t stopping. Not for lack of time or for injury. Believe me, there are many days where I want to throw in the towel. Pretty much since Day 1, I have negative and quitter type thoughts. But I also have the exact opposite feelings of accomplishment and pride for the good things too… Continue reading It’s a Mental Battle – E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y.
Let’s play a little catch up. About 15 weeks ago, I said, I’m done. Too fat. I don’t like it. Need to get to work. Eat better. Work out consistently. Focus. And instantly, I was awesome at life and lost 50 lbs in 2 months. WRONG. But I did get to work instantly and started… Continue reading 15 weeks in. Busy. Tired. Repeat.
Hey y’all, I know it’s a been a little bit since my last post. Life sometimes gets in the way! You know that, right? Well here I am and I have some catching up to do 🙂 So I’ve been chugging along, working out, eating great 90% of the time and doing fine. And then… Continue reading REST… sometimes it’s necessary.
Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor. I don’t have a background in health and fitness. I just have real life experience, determination, and I read a lot. Who doesn’t love to see progress? It’s part of what makes us human. Do something and get results. Sadly, we are an instant gratification society. We want it now.… Continue reading Makin’ Gainz, Makes Me Happy!
Good morning, afternoon and evening. Who knows when you’ll be reading this. But here I am. TEN WEEKS IN… and SIX whole years for CrossFit and CrossFit Boom. I’ve been around for a while. And although, at my current state of fluff, you’d take one look at me and not believe it’s been 6 years,… Continue reading 10 Weeks In… But I’m In This for the LONG Haul!
This isn’t a feat of athleticism for most, but for me it’s a start. Finally… (and it’s been a really, really, really long time) I jogged/shuffled a full 400m without stopping. It may not happen again soon, but it happened. And that my friends is progress! After that run our coaches tried to kill us… Continue reading 400m… more than a walk!
As cheesy as that sounds, it’s ringing pretty true. Like a broken record, I keep saying my body and mind are adapting to the work, the meal prep and the want-to. And the bittersweet truth is that I will have to keep working harder. But that means I’m making gains. And even though the work… Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Easier, You Just Get Better
Y’all… it’s tough. The grind, the eating, the soreness. I’ve been here before and I’m sure most of you have at some point in your life but getting back to it is a struggle. A few posts ago, I said I’d be more positive. I think I am in general but it’s hard to not… Continue reading I am Going to Succeed!
