About Me

I'm a 30-something girl living just outside of Richmond, VA. I've been working on getting healthy since summer 2017. Sometimes I'm on a roll, sometimes I stumble, but every day I'm making progress.

Weigh in Wednesday - 4/4/18

Much better this week compared to the last several weeks. I'm still struggling some with my nutrition, but I'm focusing on tracking for this month, good or bad, it all gets logged. This week is spring break and I find that when I'm home I want to snack, snack, snack. I definitely do better when I'm working, since I'm limited to the food I bring to school. I'm also feeling good about this week as I feel like I won a victory against a potential cold. I forgot my vitamins 2 days in a row and could feel it coming, but after resting yesterday I feel much better. :)

The Struggle is Real

Lately I've been making all the bad choices so I've decided to try to start a blog and share some of my thoughts and feelings on what is going on in my weight loss journey. I've gained/lost weight before, but I've never felt as good as I do now. Despite my struggles I really feel as if I turned a corner. I got rid of a few of my bigger clothes and started buying smaller ones. I'm working out more too. I just gotta focus on nutrition to get back on track.

I became a member this year, but I don't know that I'll continue my membership after this year. The only way it works out to be profitable is if you do the marathon games and those are intense. The other thing that I'm doing is DietBet. This has been hit or miss for me. I've done well on two transformers, but not my current

Mountain Biking Progress

About 10 years ago I went mountain biking a few times, bought a bike, went a few more times then pretty much stopped. Then this past summer my cousins and I all got back in to mountain biking on these fantastic new trails at Pocahontas State Park. When we first started this summer I had to stop often. I got off my bike and walked often. My lungs felt like they were on fire. This is my first Strava recorded ride on the Blueberry Trail (in blue). It took me 1 hr and 12 seconds, with a moving time of 41 min 55 sec and a resting time of 18 min 17 sec. I did a lot of mountain biking throughout the summer and when I could once the school year started. I no longer have to stop because my lungs give out, but because I need to rest my legs a minute. I'm also stopping at less places, for less time. On Monday I went out biking with my cousin and hit a PR on Blueberry. It feels so good to see the improvements I've made on the trails. My overall time was 39 min 34 sec, moving time
