Happy Friday

Linking up with my girl Laura from The Everday Joys. She had a beautiful baby boy this week, Congrats Laura!! The purpose of this linkup is to share positive things that have happened to you lately. I am all about positivity so I love this link up. 

Numero Uno... I went running twice this week....TWO TIMES! That is great for me and I am excited to continue on with the C25K program.

Numero Dos... I have tracked my calories three days in a row!! this is also wonderful since I have had trouble with that lately.

Numero Tres... It is FRIDAY! I know that comes every week but it is still pretty positive.

Numero Cuatro... My doctors appointment went extremely well this week. I have been very anxious about it since I wasn't losing the weight like the doctor wanted. He was positive and supportive and acknowledged it isn't an easy thing, just wants to see more progress next time. Wayyyy better then I expected.

Numero Cinco... My friends! Fellow bloggers, my IG friends, Girls on MLFC have been so supportive and great to me, its so amazing to have that kind of love and encouragement from people I have never met in purpose. Makes me all warm & fuzzy :)

I have a lot to be happy and thankful for but I'll leave it at that.

Have any great plans for the weekend?

PS. Come join the Diet Bet Game! It is only a 5 dollar buy in and starts today! I am excited for this one, my other one ends next week and I am pretty sure I am going to fail, but here is another opportunity :)

Vlogs & Linkups

Happy Thursday!! I have a had a good day today, I tracked all my calories & did W1D3 of C25K.

I did two vlogs/linkups today! I love a good vlog and its always easier when someone else determines the questions.

 First up.., The Iowa Girls Vlog Linkup with Erin from Homeade Happenings & Kadi at Sheer Serendipity.  It is Kadi's birthday today! Go visit both their blogs & wish Kadi a Happy Birthday!

So here is my vlog answering their questions :)

Next up is the accent link-up with Trista from Stewart Street

Thanks for watching!

Weigh in Wednesday

So I haven't written a post in like three weeks..lamesauce. Thanks to everyone who stuck around! I don't have a real reason, just pure laziness and some life thrown in there. I haven't done so great in the exercise/healthy eating department either.. I have been a horrible blogger with reading/commenting/responding to people so I apologize.

I couldn't possibly let another Wednesday go by without joining in with my loves Erin & Alex for Weigh in Wednesday!



I did run a virtual 5k on St Patty's day with the MLFC crew, that was fun!



I haven't done any kind of running in a while, so I followed the C25K W1D1 to do it and just did that twice.  I was very happy with my time since it had been so long.. Then as always I took a week break :) but I did W1D2 last night.

It felt pretty good, I did have some leg issues but I just attributed that to not exercising in a while.  Yesterday was also good in the eating department, I tracked everything and was under calories. My only goal for the next week is to track everything I eat. A good bonus would be to work out every other day. I do all my tracking on MFP so if you aren't already my friend, get on it!

That is all I have for today. Again thanks for all your continued support and I think I am back in full force!

Weigh in Wednesday

Goooooood Morning! I am in a weirdly good mood today. even though I spent all night  hoping for a snow day and I have a midterm tonight, blah. But it is what is it, so I am choosing to be positive about it. :)

Today is Weigh in Wednesday with Erin & Alex and I woke up 5 minutes before I had to be at work, so no scale picture for y'all today.  I am pretty sure it is close to what is was last week so no big change there. 

Erin  is hosting a Diet Bet!! I am really excited about this.  You join the game by paying 15 dollars and then at the end of the game you split the pot as long as you lose 4% of your body weight.  The pot is over $3000!! It will be a really great motivation for me to get back on track.

Goals for this week are to log all my food, get in a gallon of water & workout 4 times.  Those basic things will help kick me in gear.

What are your goals for the week?

Weekend Update & A Vlog!

First thing.. 39 followers! Wow I was at like 30 last week. So thanks for joining :) Please leave your blog if I don't already follow you. 

I decided to do a vlog, because I love watching them and thought it would be a change of pace. So please be kind.  

Linking up with Sami talking about my weekend. 

And my weekly Goals with Jess

Thanks for reading. What are you thoughts on vlogs? Thinking about making it a regular thing hopefully with more concealer! :)

Ps. Sabrina the Teenage Witch is on Hulu!! Now we just need Clarissa Explains it All and my life would be complete!

Weigh in Wednesday

It is time for another Weigh in Wednesday with Erin & Alex! Go check it out



Nothing too exciting to report this week.  I had lots of tummy issues again so nothing too great in the exercise or clean eating department.  I have a doctors appointment next Tuesday so hopefully can get some answers.  I just realized that when I started taking my Metformin two years ago is when I started having a lot of issues, so that will be the big topic of the day.

Weighed in this morning...

Good golly I need a pedicure!

Up .5 pounds from last week, I'm totally ok with that knowing what I did not get done. 

Erin has a diet bet going that starts next Wednesday.  basically you pay some money and at the end of the month if you lose 4% of your body weight you split the pot! I am excited to give it a try and will hopefully be feeling better.

Also still planning on doing Jillian this month, linking up with Lora and some others to commit to doing some form of Jillian exercises.  I want to do Ripped in 30. Hope to do it tonight!

I'll leave you with some Pinterest Inspiration

Weekend Recap-Coach!

Holla, its Monday! Linking up with Sami today to talk about my weekend :)

First off Friday was pretty fantastic. You know those days where you actually feel cute and normal? Of course I had to document this occurrence. (if you follow me on instagram you've already seen these.. if you don't.... get on it!!!! sewag)

My ootd.

Later I found myself  browsing the Coach Factory's Website and all the sudden was ordering this little number.

It is my first coach purse AND was 50% off, how can you beat that??

Called my mom and of course she decided she needed one, so we ordered this one for her.

Great first Coach purses for both of us :).

Then it was time for the Akron Zips Basketball Game.  We won of course. That is 18 straight!!

Saturday I got to sleep in till 11 am which was glorious.  Then my mom and I went to the Melt Bar and Grill. This place is amazing! It is basically a gourmet grilled cheese.  You always have to wait like 45 minutes to get seated. The food is so good!!

Lunch always leads to shopping so we ended up at Marshalls and looked at the clearance shoes and I found these!!

FORTY THREE DOLLARS!?!

I literally screamed in the store and jumped up and down.

In 24 hours I bought two Coach products. I was pretty much in heaven.

The rest of the weekend was just the usual sleeping, cleaning & homework.

Anything fun for you this weekend?

Tonight I am restarting Jillian for the millionth time. Lora will be hosting a link up for us to chat about the lovely Jillian.

Peace!
