2012 is my year! I am trying to lose 75 lbs before next summer through exercise and healthy eating. I am also attempting to become somewhat sustainable within the city limits by raising backyard hens and starting a vegetable garden, potted herbs, and berry bushes! I'm also going to school to be an elementary teacher, and it is my goal to help every one of my future students recognize their worth and what they are capable of achieving.

185 lbs v. 155 lbs.
I still have 45 more lbs to go before I reach my goal, but I think 30 lbs in 6 months is a huge accomplishment. 1200 net calories a day plus 5-6 one-hour sessions at the gym every week plus at least 64 ounces of water a day equals results!
I lost another 2 lbs this week! I don’t know how I did that, but I’m happy. 30 pounds total weight loss so far. I’m less than 10 pounds away from my halfway point, and it feels SO good!

Plateauing right before you’re supposed to get your period is like a freaking double-edged sword. All I want to do is cry and eat chocolate.

I can’t wait until I can eat more than 3 bites of bread at a time. Oh, glorious bread, how I miss thee!

Why am I just now discovering that my university has free group exercise classes, including Zumba and hip hop dance? I haven’t even been inside our new, glorious gym yet. I know what I’m doing in between classes next semester. 6 years later…

Nothing like a sweet sangria watermelon from your local farmer’s market in the summertime. There are less than 100 calories in 2 cups of watermelon, fyi.

Just made my food diary public on MyFitnessPal. Most days, I’m still pretty good about tracking everything. I don’t track if I go out to eat, which is usually on Fridays and Sundays. Feel free to take a peek or send me a friend request if you’re active on the site!

Lil bro texted me to let me know he has strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, celery, kale, and Greek yogurt in his fridge. Proud? So proud.

I’m back, y’all!! Life has been strange without Tumblr, but I needed a break. It’s nice to see that most of you are still here :) I stepped on the scale last Sunday, right before I left for vacation, and was shocked to see I had gained 2 lbs despite sticking to my diet and exercise routine. Weighed in this morning and was AMAZED to see I had lost 3 lbs, bringing my weight down to 157, holy crap! I spent the second half of my trip in Raleigh for my brother’s graduation and the hotel had a fitness center, so I worked out every day and made healthy choices wherever we went (try eating a salad at Coldstone while everyone else stuffs their faces with ice cream…it’s rough). I am pleased to see that has paid off, since the first half of my trip was filled with biscuits, pizza, and deep fried oreos. It feels good to be home and back in the game! What have y’all been up to?

Dallas creepin’ on some homemade baked sweet potato wedges with Gardein chipotle lime meatless “chicken” fingers. Less than 400 calories (because when final exams are around, you don’t always have time OK). P.S. Everything burnt is better.
