Okay, one of my goals for the summer is to get really, really fit arms, which I’ve never had in my entire life because all the sports I ever did focused on lower-body more than upper-body fitness.
So it’s time to get obsessed about the arms.

Today was great. Still nobody has noticed my weight loss, but a stranger bought me a drink and said I was “looking good,” so that was both creepy and flattering. :-)
Too tired to do any posting/reblogging at the moment, I’ll catch up with you guys tomorrow.

I’m going out with a friend tomorrow, and I just auditioned some outfit options, and all of them look really cute. Happy.
Also: I bought a t-shirt today, and it was a small. I don’t think that has happened since I was like, 17. So that was a nice surprise. I know sizing is arbitrary but it still felt like victory.

Okay, guise. I need your help.
One of my major goals this spring/summer is to get my arms visibly fit. I have good toning in my legs, and I think my abs are pretty toned too (we’ll see when I burn this fat off). My arms, however, are pretty much jelly, and that’s just because I’ve never really worked on them before.
What I want is links or suggestions for your favourite arm-toning exercises. I have no...

Okay, I’ve had some fun and reblogged some stuff and caught up with all you lovelies and sent some love out… and now I need your love because it’s time to work and it’s going to be another mammoth day and DO. NOT. WANT. So I’ll probably be absent again most of the day, but you know I won’t be able to resist coming back this evening for a check-in.
In other...

I’ll tell you what, there is nothing like coming here after a hard day and seeing all your lovely photos and words on my dashboard. You’re all amazing, have a great evening. :-*

This morning I was thinking about the sentiment of “don’t worry, one unhealthy meal won’t ruin everything” (a common theme of late for image macros), and how it fits into the context of my experiences over the past couple of weeks. While I understand that it’s not good to beat yourself up over a single unscheduled slip-up, at the same time I think it can be a...

I feel so great this morning! I was tempted to make some seriously unhealthy choices yesterday, and for once I didn’t give in to the temptation. That’s almost entirely thanks to the support of tumblr friends like YOU. Yes, you.
In summary -
Cheeseburgers and lounging around: said no;
Salad and grilled fish and workout: said yes.
I woke up this morning and my first thought was,...
isabellelovespeanutbutta asked: I love the pictures and sayings you make,i nearly binged but when i say your resent made pictures of a cheese burger and a fit woman,thank you for that haha :P

I did something I wasn’t supposed to do.
I went clothes shopping.
I’d told myself I wasn’t going to shop for clothes until I was somewhere near my UGW, because if I buy clothes while I’m at a transition weight, either (A) they won’t fit for very long and it’ll be a waste of money, or (B) I’ll feel like since I spent the money on clothes that fit my...

The house guests are gone!
I love them, don’t get me wrong, but I’m glad to be on my own again and getting back on track. It starts today. Goal one: do something about this water retention. We ate so much high-sodium food, it’s not even funny. Today: no salt, lots of water.

Ah, the house guests are leaving today and I am SO. READY. to get back to normal. I won’t lie, it’s been fun chain-eating from restaurant to restaurant, but as you can imagine it has wreaked havoc on my weight loss progress. But today is a new day and the Temptation Twins are going home, so I can go back to eating more sensible meals.

Note to those on oral birth control
I know this is long, but I wanted to share in case anyone else is going through the same thing and this might help them put two and two together.
I get frustrated sometimes with posts where people talk about having slipped up on their eating habits for a week or two, and omg they gained like TWO POUNDS.
If I slip up, I can gain two pounds in a matter of hours. And I’m not talking about...

Good: The house guests are leaving a day and a half from now. I love them but they’ve been asking me to take them to restaurant after restaurant after restaurant, which has not be great for my overall eating patterns.
Bad: My fitness bestie deleted her tumblr and it makes me sad because I think she gave up on herself. I know she was struggling with a plateau and was having trouble with...
