I'm doing this the healthy way.
Eat right & work out.

Trying super hard to keep a healthy mindset. Just waiting for the day it comes naturally.

I love to hoop and I hate running, but only because I suck at it. I'm working on running, getting better at hooping, and building some upper body strength.





SW/HW - 201
CW - 185 (5/22)
Next GW - 180
UGW - 120-ish. I'll see when I get there.
More goal weights added as I reach them.


Successful days so far: 3

I track the tag greatawakening, because tumblr is dumb about dashes.

You’re doing great! :)

It’s DEFINITELY going to be a challenge because I’m not a morning person at allllll. But I really don’t have any other choice this semester.

burymeinmemory asked: "It's me again with another random question:) How do you eat after a big workout? I get super hungry and tend to go for something I don't usually go for like lots of bread for example or something sweet. I can also eat twice as much as I would normally do. And I usually do it right after I get home from the gym. Is it a normal thing to do?"

I definitely know that feeling. I think I’ve narrowed it down to two reasons. You just used up so much energy in a workout and your body wants most of it back. You’re probably also thirsty, which your body can mistake for being hungry. I usually drink at least two cups of water (but I’ve been so thirsty that I’ve had four before) and just let my body cool down for a little bit and then I’m usually not as hungry as I thought I was.

tonedtannedfitnready asked: "Hey how are you? (this is me awkwardly trying to be your friend)"

I just got done with my first week of classes so I’m so glad it’s fridaaaaaaaaaaaay! And I’m running a charity date auction later tonight but apparently we can’t call it that because that’s offensive or something.

Ahahaha now I’m gonna be awkward and just randomly message people. Operation: make tumblr friends is a go.

I’m taking it too! Let’s be friends! I haven’t started the lectures yet…I’ll do it tomorrow.

I’m just doing the really basic one but the book is really easy to read and the lectures are pretty short. I’m gonna try to stick it out, at least.

findingsharon answered your question: SOMEONE HELP ME FIND FLAWLESS BANGS?

i really like the straight :) i think it will look really good with the glasses!

thanks! I was leaning towards the regular bangs. I’m probably not getting a haircut till march anyway, so I have time to think it over.

Just got through watching that. The original batmobile sold for like 4.2 million

I knooooow my mom was texting me the whole time bidding was happening. My parents went last year with some friends and that same friend actually bought a car this year. He’s apparently crazy rich, I guess.

I friggen love those dogs!!! the family i nannyed for had one and he was the absolute best. He used to come running in to protect the little boy when he cried and put on the breaks to tip toe around the baby. so cute!

Omg I love her so much. She’s probably the sassiest dog in existence but she’s the most lovable thing.

thesmellofapples replied to your photo: I haven’t posted an intake in a week ooooooooops….

love t-road house but i’ve always hated their salads. they might as well call it a cheese bowl with some tossed veggies.

I mean I dunno what I was expecting because restaurant caesar salads are usually like that, but it was actually like a bowl of cheese and dressing with some lettuce in it. My steak was super delicious, though.
