And this ladies and gentlemen…is why you don’t get fall down drunk and then try to run! Thankfully it doesn’t hurt (unless I poke it…which I do often, does anyone else do that?) but it’s not very pretty eh?

Bachelorette Party! We went parasailing at 800 feet…I was absolutely petrified and started shaking as soon as I stepped on the dock but I did it! I must say that I am incredibly proud of myself.

Bachelorette Party Weekend

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:57:45 -0400

Well I was right about the Bachelorette Party…I made horrible food and drink choices. So much seafood, junk food, and alcohol! However, I had a BLAST! The scale wasn’t favorable this morning, however it could have been much worse. It stayed exactly the same, so I guess my good choices earlier in the week paid off :)

Just got told “honey you have a beautiful face but no one CHOOSES to hook up with the fat friend” wow…people never cease to amaze me

So Here It Is...

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 19:05:00 -0400

Last week I got back on track (with a minor slip up on the 4th of July but hey…I’m human and didn’t go over my weeklies!)…and what did I get? A 3 FREAKIN pound gain, that’s what!!! That means that I am almost back to where I started. I’ve been doing well this week but (and it’s a big but) I’m going to a Bachelorette Party in Ocean City, MD this weekend. That means really fresh seafood and lots of drinks. And ya know what? I’m going to enjoy it! I’ll probably be pissed come weigh in Monday but hey…as a girl from Northern New York I am not passing up fresh seafood!

Today

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 21:40:33 -0400

I did pretty well with eating today…One day at a time right?

Honestly...

Sun, 24 Jun 2012 22:16:25 -0400

The last 3 months have been really horrible for me on this journey. I have had a lot of other things that have taken a toll on me and I have reverted back to my old lifestyle. I’m lucky in the sense that I haven’t gained back all of the weight I originally lost but I have gone backwards.

I had a major wakeup call today…I played in a golf tournament this weekend and when the pictures were put up I realized that I am quite literally twice the size of every other person in them!

Every October my family goes on a hike in honor of my Uncle John who passed away 2 years ago. My new goal is to be able to do this hike without too much of an issue. Last year I struggled and it was incredibly embarrassing…this goal does not have so much to do with pictures as making it up the mountain but the pictures have opened my eyes.

I’m not sure if anyone really cares but I really need to get it out there for my piece of mind.

I always see on my dash how there aren’t enough pictures of larger ladies working out, so I asked Lovie to snap a few pics during our workout. Sadly, I missed more of the hardcore activities before I thought to ask for pics, but you are left with these lovely jewels for some Fat-Girl-Fitspo <3

I’m 265lbs. I look like sh*t at the gym. I know I am ‘fat as hell’ and not very ‘hardcore’ in some b*tch a** anon’s opinion, but clearly: IDGAF. I run hard. I do CrossFit. I do MetCon. I Olympic Lift. I IGNORE everyone who tells me I can’t or that I shouldn’t because of my size: F*CK THAT. You can do anything you set your mind to with proper practice/training, which doesn’t mean you need a trainer. All you need is a capability to read, to watch, or to follow after others. Teach yourself. Be your own GD role model and ROCK THAT SH*T. If I can do it, you can do it and I will be here to help and inspire and answer anything you wanna ask, so long as I am Tumblin’. Well…unless you’re a rude anon b*tch, then you can enjoy failing at making me feel bad, because idgaf <3

Reblog this EVERY single time it comes up on my dash.

Honey is puttin’ in WORK.

You go, girl! What an amazing message, you’re doing so well.

All I can say is…thank you! You’re amazing :)

Sinus Infection

Sat, 05 May 2012 13:52:28 -0400

So I’ve been down for the count with a sinus infection the past few days, but today I’m feeling great! Got in a decent workout this morning and now I’m watching some college lacrosse with my dad (well, I’m watching and he’s snoring on the couch! haha). It’s GORGEOUS out so I think I’m going to put on my sneakers and go for a nice long walk after Cuse wins this game! :)
