I don’t know a lot of you very well, if at all so I wanted to introduce myself. In order to do this I made three different links at the side of the page under the standard introduction!
They are permanent links so you can always check on them. I love to get to know my followers so please feel free to share an experience or put something in my ask.
Here are the three links:
So today I took a day off from the gym. Last night I got home from Zumba at 7:30 & didn’t eat dinner until 8:30… finishing at 9pm. Chris and I had to go to sleep early because he had an early flight. [I am now realizing if you don’t follow my other blog you have no idea what I’m talking about. This will soon be addressed!]
Anyway, by 9pm I was still netting only about 850 calories for the day [even though I had eaten over 2000]. What can I say… Zumba is one of the best cardio workouts I get! So I was drinking a ton of water & snacking on peanut butter & almond milk until we went to sleep. Of course I wasn’t tired. My body was amped & fueled. I hated that. It was absolutely a mistake. But unavoidable I suppose at the time.
So I turned the television on & watched for an hour. But for that hour, and the half hour that followed, I got out of bed every 15 minutes to pee. The liter of water from the workout followed by all the dinner water was finally working its way out of my body.
Awesome. So instead of being well rested this morning, I was crabby & tired. I went back to sleep & decided the world would most likely not end if I did not make my Spin & Pilates class at 8:30.
I honestly only mildly regret it. It’s a gorgeous day outside. I’ll probably take my pups for a walk, go to the park, do something. Then maybe come back & stretch & do a little interval workout or start that jumping jack challenge I posted!
Tomorrow I will be back at the gym for AT LEAST Zumba at night and possibly 30 minute 6 pack abs in the morning.
Food Label Claims
Can’t keep up with the jargon? Here’s a cheat sheet:
- Sodium-free: Less than 5 mg of sodium per serving
- Very low-sodium: 35 mg or less per serving
- Low-sodium: Less than 140 mg per serving
- Reduced sodium: Sodium level reduced by 25%
- Unsalted, no salt added, or without added salt: Made without the salt that’s normally used, but still contains the sodium that’s a natural part of the food itself.
I need to get my sodium a bit lower.

I think this is the perfect amount of space between legs. But I like the muscles that are developing on mine. I’ll get a gap eventually :)
My best friend hates this woman. Thanks LOST. But what she’s eating looks delicious! [And I still think she is super pretty].
Chocolate-Banana “Ice Cream”
Freeze a banana, then combine with 2 tbsp cocoa powder and blend until smooth and creamy. Dairy-free, 110 calories. But most importantly: frigging delicious, because seriously dudes, bananas and chocolate were meant to be together <3
I use a frozen banana with a spoonful of peanut butter & half a glass of milk for a morning smoothie. This sounds delicious. I need to pick myself up some more bananas…

Hi there! It’s great meeting people with the same stats, this way you know accomplishment is very much possible :) I’m incredibly sorry to hear about your surgeries but it sounds like you overcame those obstacles to get your body back into great shape! I am currently 128 pounds, but I’m not as solid as I would like.
It sounds like you are on the right path at 125.5! I’ve only recently started to count calories in order to see if I’m giving my body everything it needs. Depending on my workout, it’s becoming harder to give my body as many calories as it needs than it is to restrain myself from eating junk. Now that you’re more aware of the calorie content in food, I have complete faith you’ll be making the smartest decisions for your body!
Thank you for the follow! I hope we can succeed together! I would love to share tips. I actually went to check out your blog & write in your ask box because there are things I’d very much like to discuss with you. Unfortunately, when I went to your page it only said “Recalculating” at the top & no matter how much I refreshed or clicked on that link, nothing else appeared.
Please don’t be a stranger :) And GOOD LUCK!
And this is why I’ve changed my habits!!!!!
I would cry my eyes out if this was my baby girl.
I am an-almost 23 year old woman who has tried every non-healthy way of losing weight. I have struggled with my body image since I first became a teenager, & although I walk with confidence, I still torture myself privately in the mirror at least once a week.
