it’s friyayyyyyyyyy despite only working out twice this week and eating more treats than I care to admit - I’ve lost 2.5 pounds! I am FINALLY lighter than what I was in January. Progress isn’t always linear, you just have to keep at it 🌸 💜

[shrinkingprincess]

aaaaaaaaaaaaand week one is in the books! this week I cut out empty carbs (including the alcohol), went on daily walks, and maintained roughly a 500 calorie deficit. in turn, I lost 6.8 pounds (4.2% of my total weight) and 2.4% body fat (6.1% of my total body fat). granted, much of this was *water* weight that I was holding onto from a generous supply of vodka lemonades, but I feel confident that I will make plenty of progress this summer!!

From last night

[shrinkingprincess]

was going to hit the gym and some weights but on such a lovely night I'd rather go on a walk around my favorite college town ☺️😌👌🏻

Hey everyone! It's me, your average stressed-out college kid trying to juggle a healthy lifestyle with her love of unlimited chips and salsa. I am on a journey of self love and maybe looking like Wonder Woman someday 💕💖

Disregard the head growing out of my shoulder 😂. It was just a cardio day for me which was nice because it let me catch up on my reading list (if anyone has any good book recommendations hmu). Finished my workout with some cashew milk ice cream and HOLY CALORIES!! Eating a pint is the equivalent to eating two containers of Halo Top.. I had to limit myself to half the pint 😅. It was still super yummy though and I'm kind of getting used to my new found limited dairy lifestyle

I have not been treating my body with the love it deserves. My workouts have been irregular and my eating habits have been erratic at best. I have been struggling with the consequences both internally and externally. The best thing I can do is realign my fitness goals and listen to what my body is telling me.

I took the time to write out my entire workout & food summary and then the app crashed and my post disappeared into the abyss C'est la vie

Good morning lovelies!! Recently I've been starting out my morning with the Be Well Detox Tea that I purchased from the best place ever aka Target. It's the perfect tea for a food hangover (ie gorging yourself on queso even though you're lactose intolerant). I have added it to my cut routine and am excited to see progress!!

[shrinkingprincess]

Good morning everyone!! I know I've been absent lately, but my life had been hectic and I haven't focused on taking care of myself. I've realigned my fitness goals and I am so ready to be back in the gym!!

But will you share the recipe

[shrinkingprincess]

My whole life I've often felt diminished by my mother, and every time I've shared a story or aspect of my day I've been told I'm "exaggerating" or I'm "dramatic." My sophomore year of high school, I realized that the feelings I was struggling with due to being sexually abused in middle school were in no way normal. I came to the terms that I had anxiety and depression, and the counseling I was receiving wasn't helping. I made an attempt to reach out to my parents, describing my symptoms of not feeling motivated, feeling exhausted all the time, and feeling withdrawn from the world. I was told that if I took vitamins and exercised more, I'd feel better. And that was the end of that discussion with my parents. In adulthood, I have become lactose intolerant (which is very common in adults). Despite that, I continue to love dairy products and eat them regularly, which have disastrous effects later on. Today my mom basically said that I had invented this intolerance because it's "trendy" and that in a few weeks I'm probably going to be gluten free too. So basically anything I'm ever going to struggle with in life is because I'm over dramatic and attention seeking. Awesome.

Definitely giving off some hard core librarian vibes today

I'm really trying to expand my repertoire of recipes, but feel limited due to the fact that I'm counting my macros.. does anyone have a good way of planning meals while still following their macros?

[shrinkingprincess]

I ate half my body weight today (but I so with good company so it was worth it) And I impulse bought this bra from target so I guess I really am Wonder Woman now 👸🏻💁🏻
