Gym time!

[ghaliabirk-blog]

The weather is heating up and I'm loving it! Hanging out with friends, drinking on tbe patio (shame on me). Wanting to just have fun and live in the moment, it's a great feeling. Honestly, haven't felt this good in a long time but now the scale is showing me that being happy carefree comes with a price. I need to enjoy myself but still be mindful of what I'm working hard towards. I forgot about the good hearty foods for a minute and have been enjoying the frappucinos, cocktails, bbq meats, etc. So now I'm gonna make sure I fuel up on the hearty food first before I endulge on the summer pleasures! I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather! Remember, don't give up if you fall off of the wagon. It's a journey filled with lessons

Happy Saturday folks! Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine! It’s a bit chilly in my city this morning but the sun makes up for cooler weather. I am officially down 65lbs! Woot woot! I made a goal this month to drop 10lbs and be more conscience with my eating. I hope everyone smashes their goals this month! Let’s bring on the heat! 🔥🔥🔥

Struggles

It feels like everyday I face a new challenge towards my healthy lifestyle change. And of course, that's how it's suppose to be. No one said it would be easy. If it was easy, then everyone would be able to do it. Just like most things in life. The impossible ideas are really the I'm Possible ideas. This year I've made some major progresses and so I shouldn't be down on myself at all or for too long. This weeks challenge is to up my fibre and water intake. I've struggled to eat right the last couple of weeks and so now my body is telling me my mistake. I hope everyone is accepting their challenges and working to overcome their struggles. I'm thinking of you and doing this for us!

Ugh! I hit another plateau! 😭 Good news is that I'm starting to go for runs outdoors again! I got new trail shoes from Under Armour and I tried them out yesterday! It's still a little stiff but overall really comfortable. I'm still hovering around 55lbs lost since I started my weight loss journey but I feel more committed to it now. I can't wait to get out of this plateau and continue to reclaim my life again!

So I've been bad at posting lately. I know I know, shame. I've been thinking about posting but never typed anything. I will give an update right now! I'm down 55lbs since my #wls. It's been a battle and I should be sharing my lows as well as my highs with you all. I hope to discuss in more detail in my next post. I hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather and are smashing your personal goals! I want us all winning for 2017! Keep inspiring each other! You guys inspire me everyday!
