Undeniably Me.

TRANSFORMATION!!!! Check out that photo down below! That girl on the left had absolutely 0 confidence. I was constantly trying to hide myself. There was a point in my life that I literally would intentionally pick neutral toned clothing with no print/patterns because I did NOT want to stand out or be seen. That girl on the right has grown soooo much it is unbelievable. I have been through a lot. Growth is never linear. To think, though, where I am at now blows my mind. I have gained immense confidence. Freak crop tops....I'm wearing em! 😆. I have learned to love myself throughout my journey; because you are a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously. Embrace your beauty and the journey towards becoming a better you everyday. 😊 If you're interested I would freakin LOOOVE to link arms and take this journey with you!!! I'm lookin for some ladies that need this community like I did! No more wandering alone on this journey unsure of what you're doing. Everything ...

  I refuse to give up on my journey; on myself. Despite what obstacles I run into I am determined to stay committed to making myself and my health a priority. So far, that has included the pains of plantar fasciitis. If any of you have ever had it or knows someone that has it, then you knoooww what I'm talkin about! For me, it started off with a little bit of pain walking around barefoot. & I'm always one that if it doesn't seem that serious then I'll just wait it out and wait for whatever the issue is to sort itself out. Buuuuut it didn't sort it self out this time. It actually got worse. So I went and did research on what could help; and obviously went to Amazon for all the reviews left on different products in order to find THE BEST. I ordered some compression foot sleeves. That was the first thing I tried that helped! Here they are if you would like to check them out! Click the photo/link below if you're interested in ordering! I also wanted some sort of...

So, since starting my fitness journey back up again I have literally been working out every day. Like you may have already read in previous post, I started with yoga. That was a perfect place to start for me, just to get the body used to moving! After that I started a more intense program. I have been loving it & I have loved pushing myself. Have I WANTED to workout every single day? NO, absolutely not. There will be days where there's no motivation. Where you try to convince yourself that you're tired and need a rest; and then you'll definitely start back up again another day. But, that is because doing nothing is always easier than creating change and becoming better and stronger. So for me it is important to remember why I started my journey. Having that WHY in the back of my mind is encouragement to keep going! Has it been easy for me? No, definitely freakin not!      I have a love/hate relationship with the scale. First, I love it because it has been telling me ...

Okay, so I'm not gonna lie. I have been down this road before. Trying these workouts and starting out with boundless motivation. When I first started in 2017, though, I was basically on my own. Does anyone else have family that isn't the most supportive in changes that you're making in your life?! Or is that just me. Don't get me wrong, they're not like constantly putting me down, it's just not the uplifting pep-talks or hype that you see in so many health/fitness pages.       I restarted my health & fitness journey this year a little after getting weighed at a doctor visit. The number on the scale that day will forever be imprinted on my brain. I was at the heaviest I had EVER been in my entire life. & just to give you the complete realness here because I'm obviously not an instagram model or like those fitness models you see; I topped the scales at 214 lbs. Look, I knew the entire time when I was not eating healthy or moving my body that I had been...
