I preach fitspo and try to lead a healthy life, but lately I have been slacking beyond belief, so today I went to Victoria’s Secret and bought the bathing suit I’ve been eyeballing for MONTHS (same one as in the picture) because…
 June 1st I’m going to take an honest picture of myself in this bathing suit. It will show me that I may have made a lot of progress, but I am not yet at my goal. I’ve made a work out schedule that consists of abdominal, upper body, thigh and glute workouts. I am going to kick my own ass into shape. July 1st I’ll be posting a picture side by side with the picture I will be taking in a few days. I want to see how far I can take my body in a month.
I’m not a fool, I know a great bod isn’t build solely by working out and exercising alone, so I’m going to be incorporating more plant based foods into my diet, while weening myself off of animal based foods. I am dabbling in vegan/vegetarianism. 
I’m a little nervous because this is the last lap for me. I’ve lost the weight I needed to, and now it’s time for me to look like these super toned and beautiful girls we see on this website. After all, isn’t that what most of us are after? I’m ready to commit to a healthy life. Not just healthy days. So, here goes nothing :)

Ran three miles in 30 minutes!

Yay 10 minute mile. But boo because at one point I was running a 6 minute mile. 

New tank! :)

Do you see that?!? Getting toned :D

I am officially cutting coffee out of my diet.

This is going to be hard. But if I want to reach my goals, a change needs to be made.

It’s my #1 vice in the healthy realm. It’s somewhere between 180-200 calories per medium coffee with cream and sugar from DD’s, and it’s something that needs to go. As a college student I’d indulge in buying coffee pretty much every morning. That’s over 9 grams of fat and over 20 grams of sugar. BAD. On top of how bad it is for me nutrition wise, it has a ton of caffeine. Did you know coffee can potentially cause insomnia? It can also cause anxiety, irritability, iron deficiency, gastrointestinal problems, etc. None of these things sound worth the energy kick I get in the morning from the silly little bean. Therefore, coffee be gone!
