My fitbit family is complete! :)

I'm so excited that my fitbit ultra came in yesterday!


Now my little fitbit family is complete and I couldn't be more ecstatic!

I'm trying the sleep tracker for the first time tonight, so stay tuned to see if my love for it compares to my love for my fitbit aria scale!

Head Over Heels


I’m completely head over heels for my Fitbit Aria Scale! It makes losing weight like a game for me… and I’m a very competitive person. In my first week, I lost 3.2 pounds!!! Of course, the scale is only a tool along with keeping a food journal on the fitbit website and exercising… but I just can’t help but praise this fabulous little scale for getting me on the road to a healthy life.

'Cause she's going the distance!


So... if you've read any of my posts you know that I’ve yo-yoed between 25 pounds for the last 2 years and it’s time to say adios to this way of living. 

Here’s the deal though… I love a good margarita, New York size slices of pizza and worst of all… being a couch bum! The thing is… last time I checked, those things didn’t add up to a 
happy and healthy me. 

Who knows if anyone will read this, but by god it’s time I stick with something and see it through. After all, if god brings you to it… he’ll bring you through it. Right? 

First thing’s first, I’m a god fearing lady with a crude sense of humor… so if my page offends anyone… sorry love!

Let’s get this show on the road. 

Here you see my two new keys to success… my fitbit aria scale (which is heaven sent!) and my loud and obnoxiously lovely neon tennies! 

Oh, and as you probably noticed in the photo, I have an undying love for England and was 
blessed enough to live there a couple of years ago. 

Here’s to the past, now on to the future!

August Challenge: Eat Clean.. Train Mean!

I like to think a new week should start on Sunday... that way, you have a whole day of relaxing before a busy week of work! Sounds great in theory at least, right? Check back on Wednesday to see if this theory actually works. 
                                   

Do you ever just feel sluggish no matter how much sleep you get? That's pretty much summed up my whole weekend, and I think I've nailed it on the head... if I change my diet (eliminating my beloved Diet Coke's and limiting my intake of processed foods.) Then maybe... just maybe... I'll start getting that extra boost to power through my morning workouts. Thanks to my addiction to Pinterest, I stumbled across this fabulous little chart that really makes sense, so enjoy!
I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty darn good at BSing myself into thinking that trip to Taco Bell isn't as bad as it sounds... then viola... I wonder why I haven't lost weight and feel sluggish. (Like I do today...) Don't beat yourself up though, because I've found that only makes me like a failure.


                       
 Instead, I'm taking it as a challenge that only I can complete, because after all, 
So get to workin' on your fitness and I will too!
