rachel. 20. trying to be healthy and fit!

Good evening fellow fitblrs!

I have some bad news to report.

I have been home for almost a month now and I have not lost weight, but I have gained it some back.

Being home makes me fall into old habits, and it makes me become a person that I do not want to be.

I haven’t been working out or eating right and my weight has gone up because of it.

However I have realized this and I need to stop this right now.

I have been eating like I used to in high school when I was depressed and alone.

I turned to food as a friend. When there was no one to hang out with; I decided to hang out with some brownies, ice cream, Wendy’s, pizza, french fries, cake, cookies etc.

Food is not meant to be your friend. Food is fuel.

I felt so much better when I worked out and ate well.

It is hard to do, but I am ready to start this journey again. I wish I didn’t have to say that, but my mind got the best of me.

I think that restricting will work best for me, because I need to regain self control. I don’t have any right now.

I am going to work out when I have free time instead of being sad or just watching Netflix or something.

I have decided that I want to be able to do a handstand by the time I go back to school.

I am pretty close :)

I am going to try and be binge free for at least a week and then see where it takes me.

I should make another inspiration poster and hang it up too.

Sorry to disappoint, but food just got the best of me.

Time to get back into shape and being a healthier, happier me!

Promo time!

I just got 1111 followers!

So I will do a promo :D :D :D

Must be following me.

The first 10!

Yesterday was a complete binge day.

I ate so much food.

It was disgusting.

It was just one of those days where I couldn’t stop myself.

I knew that I shouldn’t eat more, but I just wanted to eat.

Today is a new day and I am never having one of those days again.

I made a glitter jar last night and am going to use it whenever I feel like I am going to binge or just want to eat something that I know I shouldn’t.

I am motivated and I want to lose more weight.

I can do it. I want abs and toned legs and arms.

I need to stick to a running regimen and do the 30DS for 30 days.

Let’s do this!

july ‘11: around 192

april ‘12: around 167

gw: 145-150

:D

just got back from a run!!

just got back from a run!!

FUNNNNN!!!

Okieeee so america’s next top model is having cycle 19 casting call: college edition in dallas on sunday and i’m going!!!

Like I am so excited. I need to do this.

1. I’ve always watched ANTM and my sister and my friends would play and pretend to be models.

2. I want to meet Tyra Banks. I hate her but I would die if I met her.

3. I NEED to teach girls that they have to love their bodies. It doesn’t matter what they look like, as long as they are healthy.

4. I am finally confident enough to do something like this and it would be an amazing opportunity.

5. WHY NOT AHHHHHHH

Since I’ve lost almost 50 pounds I am super confident and am ready to show the world!

But hey I’m not perfect and this society needs to know that models and women are not and cannot be perfect.

I have love handles and stretch marks and large breasts and freckles and pimples and a big nose and eczema but do I let those things stop me.

FUCK NO.

I have finally embraced my looks and I proud of who I am.

:)

I had a good day today. I did a new workout on the treadmill and went hard. I ate well and then just had a special k protein shake.

I feel good :)

Just had an awesome workout!

I feel amazing.

I just feel so powerful when I’m on the treadmill. I’ve finally figured out that I was running too fast so I’ve slowed down my pace and don’t get side stitches anymore!

Woohoo!

I’m so proud of myself.
