July 2nd 2014

When I did my first entry back on November 4th, 2010, things were alittle different. It was hard to get inspired. Facebook was the only social media I was using at the time, and not a lot of people were focusing on their health, maybe a good handful. Flash forward to July 2014 and things have changed dramatically. Everyone is eating cleaner, people are working out more, people are posting about their workouts and sharing healthy recipes.

Just about everyone has a smart phone and/or tablet, making being healthy that much easier. For me the my fitness pal app (as mentioned in last post), pandora and pintrest have helped me to stay motivated.

Here are some of my favorite pins:

It's been a while..

It's been awhile since I last posted anything. I wonder if there's still readers out there? Any who,  a lot has changed. I have been going through some health problems.  Not 100% sure what it could be, but we believe it could be lupus.

For awhile I felt like I needed a change. Got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I used food to comfort me on the days I felt  shitty. I didn't gain as much as I originally thought I had. Which is good, but still, I knew better.

Six weeks ago I made the choice to fully cut meat out. I've done this before and didn't really follow through.  This time, I noticed the effect of cutting meat out. I have more energy and dont feel weighed down anymore. Mentally I feel a lot better. It's like I finally feel the way I should be feeling. I am glad to have pintrest. Might post my favorite vegetarian recipes soon!!!!!

So far, by cutting out meat and making better choices. I have lost 6 pounds. Only 9 more lbs to go till I'm back to where I was on my last post. ;)
