Switching up the program

After a few freakout sessions, I decided I needed to stop. Stop with the strict diets. Stop with the comparisons. Removing myself from those situations was necessary to move forward in a healthy manner.

Do I want to lose weight?

Short answer. Yes, but there is more to it than that. I have to look at the lifestyle I want. I love to hang out with friends. Date nights. Family days. All which are usually filled with sweet treats, fried food and alcohol. 

So, What sacrifices am I willing to make?

I willing to adjust my eating. Meaning there will be two meals within the week I will eat what I want. I will fully enjoy myself with no regret.  Incorporating less processed foods and more vegetables. That's where I am. I haven't lost any weight. I have actually gained what but I am going to keep moving.

I have started using my gym membership with more intention. I have started stretching, mediating and getting to know me. I'll keep you updated on my progress. Right now I am focusing on the process, not the end goal.

If you are on the same journey, remember to go at your own pace.

Procrastinator's Guide: Valentine's Day Edition

 

With Valentine's Day coming in strong, what are we doing? For ourselves that is. This year, I'm getting my nails done, making a special dinner, getting my favorite chocolates and possibly edible arrangements because can't no one shower me with love like me. So, of course I wanted to give you some ideas. Remember self love is always the best love, it doesn't have to be big or extravagant but it has to be intentional.

Updating my workout wardrobe: Winter Edition

Hello! Hello! Hello! Healthy living is in full effect over here! And, what that means is, anything I have to do to get motivated, I will do. From changing the way I grocery shop, to what I wear. I am on a mission to change my mindset when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. So, one of the first things I did was update my workout clothes. I drank the juice and finally brought some pieces for Fabletics. And, I have been addicted for the past two years. 

For those of you that have a curvy frame, Fabletics has some bomb outfits that are pretty affordable. I'm always here for a deal especially when the quality is there. I consistently update my workout clothes because to be honest, my workout clothes are also my run around town with my kid clothes or run errands clothes. I have realized that clothes play a big part in my self-esteem, if I don't look good, I don't feel good even if I did workout. 

I usually mix my Fabletics with deals I find on Ebay from Nike or Adidas. I love Nike's Fleece Tech line because its thick and has modern designs that I appreciate. TJMAXX also has nice affordable workout clothes that I snag when I need sports bras or a cute fleece. 

Workout clothes don't have to be expensive to make you feel confident or look nice. Where do you buy your workout clothes?
