From Flabby to Fit

My old CrossFit coach asked me to take maternity shots of her. This is her swinging a 45lb kettlebell two weeks before her delivery date like it was nothing!

I’m re-posting this just as a reminder for myself. Last year was tough for me and I slid back to some unhealthy habits. I’ve been doing an amazing job this year of getting my strength and confidence back and I’ve been seeing progress like I’ve never seen before. I suffered a major setback this past weekend and I’m pretty discouraged. Thanks to all the positive posts on Tumblr as well as the proof that I’ve made it before, I just have to remember that setbacks are normal. I may have lengthened the race, but the finish line is still waiting for me. And I’m getting there.

Happiness

This Sunday, after dreaming of going for way too long, I’ll be front and center at the Lion King on Broadway in NYC. I’m so excited! It’s always nice to have an extra bit of happiness to look forward to. What are you looking forward to in the near future?

REBLOG

PERMALINK

A big part of why we’re all here is because of the huge support system the Tumblr Fitblr community provides. While it’s great, it’s also a very LARGE community which can make connecting with people a bit tough. That’s why I want to start my very own Fitblr Directory.
Let’s face it - while we all have the same goals, we are all dealing with very different situations. Some of us are worried about eating healthy in a dorm, others are dealing with husbands that like junk food, some of us have medical issues that make things a little tougher, some of us can’t find people our own age, etc. You get the idea.
This is where my directory comes in. Here are the categories I currently have:
In College
Married/Serious Relationship
Age 30 and up
Vegetarians
Male Fitblrs
Recovering/Recovered (ED)
CrossFitters
Insanity!
That’s just for starters. I’m open to and would like to have more categories so please let me know if you have any ideas.
If you’d like to be part of the directory, message me! Just let me know what category you’d like to be in and I’ll add your URL. Also, please feel free to reblog. The more people that are part of this, the better. (And no, you do NOT have to be following me to be part of this!)
So… who’s in?

My birthday is planned!

After much thought and research, my birthday is finally planned. While I was really into the more popular suggestion of getting a tattoo, I already have so many so this is what I’ll be doing instead: Broadway! I’m going to lunch at my favorite sushi restaurant, then I’m seeing Rock of Ages, and then dinner in NYC. I also found out that my favorite cake in the whole entire universe has been ordered for me. At first I was stressed because I’ve been making so much progress with my diet, but screw it. I literally allow myself to have this cake only once a year so I’m going to enjoy the hell out of it. I’ll be sure to post plenty of pics on my personal blog. Thanks everyone for all your help and awesome suggestions!!!

Who has ideas??

Hey everyone! So my 30th birthday is this coming Saturday, September 29th. Since this is a milestone birthday, I’m starting to think I should ditch my original plan of keeping it low key and do something special. The only thing I could think of is driving up to Boston to do a cupcake crawl! I’m really not into making the entire day about having sweets, though. :o/

Anyway, do any of you have any good ideas?

Unexpected Motivation.

For those of you following my personal blog, you know that I’ve been going through quite a rough few months which resulted in bad eating habits and weight gain. Right when I got myself together and starting working towards getting back on track, I ended up with vertigo. (For those of you who don’t know what that is, considering yourself lucky!) For two weeks I haven’t been able to stay on my feet for very long or even turn my head, so exercising has come to a complete stand still. The frustration and loss of progress caused me to spend this entire week canceling out the little progress I did make with day after day of high fat, high calorie eating. However, thanks to my fashion blog, I’m finding myself motivated all over again. With my birthday approaching, I’d really like to start this next year with confidence. I want to start taking better care of myself as far as appearances go (I spend way too many days in a t-shirt and messy bun), and as cliche as this is, there’s no better accessory than confidence. I’m going to start working my ass off again regardless of what roadblocks come my way. When this new year of my life starts, I’ll be sure to have the confidence I haven’t felt in a long time.

Question of the Day: Would You Rather

Which would you rather do to get a year with a celebrity personal trainer and nutritionist of your choice - shave your head for two years or NOT shave your legs for two years?
