Okay so i moved away to college in January, big transition! It was so hard at first to get back into my normal routine, from not knowing how to manage my money, to going to frat parties and trying to meet new people. It’s so tough to maintain what I had been doing before. Slowly but surely I am getting back to my old habits. It’s just sad to think that I let myself go for a good month or so. Does anyone have any good tips to motivate myself more? I woke up this morning for the first time in about a month or 2 and went straight to the gym. I did the tredmill for 40 mins with intervals on an incline of 4… I’ve been doing that though everytime I work out. Any good tips on cardio to help me burn fat? I have a beauty pageant coming up next weekend and I just don’t feel fit enough for it, but I know it’s mainly all about confidence. Anyways, I’ve been doing good… for the most part, just the alcohol and the sweets are hard to resist. I cook most of all my meals and when I do go out I choose the better-bad choices. I know the alcohol and the sweets are a killer. But I really, in all honesty, believe that working out can help curve those cravings. So that’s why I am going to try to go 6 times a week like I used to. I just need more support up here, I haven’t found anyone who enjoys fitness as much as I do. All of the people who are my friends just want to party and that’s not really my style. Well, I better get going, I have to start studying for a quiz today! I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day!

Hey y’all!

First off, Happy NEW YEAR! New year means new challenges and new beginings. But honestly changes can start any time of the year and whenever your heart desires it! So how was everyone’s new year and holiday season? Mine went alright, ALL OF THE FOOD was a big time KiLLeR! But thank goodness that is over. I hit the gym yesterday for the first time in a week because I had been sick for a while and it felt so good to be in there again! I start school back up on Monday and I am so nervous. I am going to a new school and a new town even. The school has the most beautiful gym but it’s always weird starting off at a new gym because all of the regulars always look at you like “Who is that?” but Oh well, I plan to be a regular so I guess they can all get over it! =) When school starts I plan on not drinking and really focusing on school and my fitness. Good plan, let’s see how long I can stick to that. Talk about MAJOR will-power! Esp. since I will be at a new college and everything. But honestly, you can have just as much fun being sober and watching all of the drunk people lol. Well, I need to hit the gym today in a little bit, I woke up and my boyfriend had Teddy Grahms in his cabinet and of course I had a few of those, still it makes me feel so bad eating them lol but oh well! I figure I would just run a little bit longer today! I hope everyone has a beautiful day! Happy New Year! yay!

Hey everyone! So how did everyone do with all of the Christmas temptations? Myself, I didn’t do to well! But tomorrow is another beautiful day that God has made and it’s another day to start over again. I drank alot of booze lol But I did run alot yesterday and did some outside workouts at this really nice park we have. My ex boyfriends dad actually designed the park so it’s pretty neat to go running through it. Anyways, a year ago tomorrow is the day my first love passed away, so keep in mind to say a prayer for his family if you have the chance. He is greatly missed. So on a better note, I recieved LOVELY gifts! Alot of new stuff for my new apt, and I recieved a 14 k gold Juicy Couture bracelet. SOOOO pretty! I hope everyone got what they wanted. I want to get some protein powder for the new apt though, that’s my next investment… along with a new bra from VS. Well loves, I hope everyone has a beautiful day and good luck with everything!

Heyyy y’all! I hope everyone’s holiday season is going great! Well a little update from last time, it has been about a week and I have been doing ALOT better. I’ve been really following my diet and it makes me feel better than ever doing so! Although I do admit, I had a biscotti last night with my coffee. lol Oh well! I still haven’t given up and that’s the main part. One of my dear friends from high school admitted to me that she had an eating disorder and that touched my heart. Her and I are going to go to a meeting together and hopefully I can help her through this journey as well as it benefit me. It’s been a struggle but in the long run I am so much happier with who I am now than with who I was back then. Granted yes, I was alot thinner, now I am able to do alot more and I look healthier. Plus, I am happy and a happy person is always attractive. =) Tonight I have a Lingerie party to go to! I am so excited! Then tomorrow is Christmas Eve and then Christmas! yay! Finally I wont be broke and this stress will go away lol. Well I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday! Much love to you all and best of luck!

Okay so let’s see, where to start? So lately it has been a tough struggle for me and my eating disorder.I had stopped for a good while, probably about 9 months. I have been on and off with this for years and I was doing so good and then something hit me and I started purging again. I am stopping though this time for good. I can’t be doing that to my body. It’s just I am so impatient. But what made me realize that I needed to stop for good was that the other day it had been 2 days that I hadn’t gone to the gym and since I had last purged and I could only run for 20 mins tops and not do anything else without feeling like I was going to black out. Which is incredibly not like me. I usually am at the gym for an hour to an hour and a half. Bleh… another thing with the Holidays are all of the Holiday parties. How does everyone manage with them? Like what do you do when faced with all of the temptations at the parties? Any helpful hints? I’ve been not able to say no to the wine and cookies and all that bad stuff. It’s like I am completely fine during the day but then when night comes around it hits me. But besides all of the downer stuff of the holidays, good news… hmmm let’s see! I’ve been asked on several dates and stuff. I don’t know if I am ready for that just yet though. I need to work on myself first. Oh and I am leaving for PA in a couple of days to see my family! I am so excited about that! But okay how do I keep up with everything while I am there? Everyone drinks and my grandma makes amazing homemade food. I really am starting to dislike the holidays. If only times were simple like when I was a little girl and didn’t give a care. lol Okay well I feel like i’m complaining too much and that’s something I don’t like to do. So new subject…I saw Miley Cyrus the other day. She performed at my dads friends lawfirm party. It was pretty awesome! He always throws the best parties ever. Well, I hope everyone has the best holiday season ever! Good luck to everyone and all of their goals and I will keep everyone in my prayers over this season! Much love

Ugh okay so this week I have finals, and it sucks because I am barely making time for the gym. But on the good side, I went today and then I found out that last night I made a 100 and an 80 on my other two tests. Yay! But okay tell me if this happens to any of y’all: My nutritionist gave me an eating plan that is completely different on how I used to eat and I am eating the 5 small meals a day, and somehow I managed to gain weight. Will the weight eventually start to come off or what? I don’t like this feeling, especially since I am going to see my boyfriend on Christmas (he’s in the Air Force) and I was planning to look really good for when I saw him and I just feel down on myself more than ever. This bites! Sometimes I just wonder if I should quit trying…. I mean it’s the hardest battle ever and especially coming from an eating disorder, it’s so hard. I still sometimes battle with bulimia, maybe that and drinking are the two reasons  I am plateauing. Who knows! Welll, I’m going to the Rockets game tonight! YAYAYA! And then my last final is tomorrow. Thank goodness! I can finally get bck on schedual. Well, I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

Even though i don’t drink much, it still is alcohol. Number one, I’m not even old enough to drink legally, and number two, I do stupid things and don’t care what I eat when I drink. SILLY girl. I need to stop no joke. I think that is the biggest hinder on me losing the weight I want to lose and gaining the body that I want. But besides that, I put the lease on my new apartment yesterday! Yay! I’m finally going away to college and honestly, I don’t know if I am ready. Mentally I am but physically I hope my body is ready. There is going to be ALOT of temptation there and I just hope that I continue on with what I am doing now and I hope that God gives me the strength to overcome temptations. He is so wonderful to me. I feel so bad today because i was unable to go to church, I mean I could have gone but I was really tired and was being lazy. I figured I could read some of the Bible to make up for it. Anyways, I’m sitting here now drinking a protein shake and reading Oxygen. I was cleaning and dancing in my room but then my friend called and distracted me.(ADD issues? haha)  Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend! Tomorrow is a new day for me and from now on I am only taking steps forward and not looking back! Love to you all!

Okay so last night I went to the Texans game!! WOOOH! But downfall there is the beer drinking. I need to steer clear of that stuff! lol But it does make the night better! Not going to lie, but it doesn’t do justice on pretty bodies. Anyways, I need supportive friends in helping me not to drink. That’s my goal numero UNO! Quit the drinking… well loves I hope yall have a beautiful day!

Okay so lately I’ve been feeling really down because I feel like all of my hard work is leading to nothing. I feel like i’m just gaining weight and etc. Although I don’t weigh myself it’s just all a mental issue I guess. Coming from having an eating disorder to having to eat 5 small meals a day can be stressful… I’m always contemplating on whether I am eating too much or if I am cheating myself into thinking what I am eating is good… etc. It sucks! I just want to be able to maintain a healthy weight and not have to worry about all of that… but honestly, if I don’t watch what I eat, it is VERY easy for me to gain weight. On another note, I went to my 2nd RPM class today. I figured I would change things up from my normal cardio. I loved it too! The only problem is that the times really conflict with my school and work schedual, which is very unfortunate. But besides that, afterwards I went to get my nails done. Figured I would do something to make me feel pretty. Anyways, i go to my nutritionist on Thursday and I sign for my new apt. Woohooo! Let’s just pray that I didn’t gain any weight. I need to be more strict with this healthy lifestyle. Because I will never give up and I WILL get to my goal. Just takes time…
