Real Life Journey to Get Happy and Get Healthy

I started this fitness blog to show people what its really like to try to lose weight and love yourself. Ads make it look easy and quick. But honestly, there are nights like tonight where you are crying so hard because you cant look in the mirror feel happy or feel good about yourself. Nights of feeling ugly and like nothing has changed. But you need to push through. #onestepatatime #reallife #weightloss #thejourney #fitspiration #motivation #keeppushingforward #believeinyourself #healthylifehappylife #behappy #bodypositive #workinghard

I know that I post a lot of pictures of my body and my fitness and for some that is annoying, but this is what I need to keep me motivated. I need to see pictures to remind myself that I have made progress. I look in a mirror sometimes and do not feel like anything has changed. I am disappointed in how slow I am moving with my weightloss and I know if I ate better it would go faster, but I am proud of myself for not quitting. I get up everyday and keep trying, keep moving forward. I can get to where I want to be. 16 more lbs to lose! #weightloss #transformationtuesday #keepgoing #keepitup #keeppushingforward #fitnessoverload #fitfam #fitspo #fattofit #fitlife #fitspiration #motivation #inspire #progressphoto #neverquit #nevergivein #changeisgood #newme #newperson #newbody #betterlife #betterself #healthylifehappylife #healthyfixbyvic #justkeepswimming #justdoit #yesyoucan #yesican #believeinyourself

How do people stop making themselves feel guilty if you eat unhealthy foods? I try so hard to let myself have a break but I just can't. And it's horrible

Its always good to set a few goals to help keep yourself on track. I like small goals that help me take big steps. So here is my list! I encourage y'all to make your own goals whether fitness related or life related. My overall goal: find my inner peace and happiness on my journey to becoming the person I want to be! Also, share my page with people so I can help inspire and motivate more people. :) #100milesinoctober #selfcare #selfhappiness #selflove #bodypositive #healthylifehappylife #weightloss #octobergoals #fitspiration #fitfam #fitspo #betterself #justdoit #nevergiveup #yesyoucan #yesican #believeinyourself #keepgoing #startnow #staystrong #stayactive #fitness #inspire #motivation #trainingforlife #healthylife #neverquit

Health Tip of the Day: always always always drink water. I like to drink it before a workout, a little during, and of course after. And when I wake up and go to sleep. And with every meal. With meals it helps fill you up and has no extra calories. I can always tell when im dehydrated because I am soo tired,

I have had a TON of excuses for not keeping up with my fitness this summer. "I want to enjoy life. Im tired. No time. Blah blah blah" I will give it to myself that I lost 10lbs since July, but I know I am capable of so much more. I have been starting over a lot, and that's because I had excuses to quit. But now there are no more excuses. No excuse to not work out. No excuse for eating bad. I know I can be healthy and eat right. Now I need to get off my ass and do it! #motivationmonday #noexcuses #yesican #anyonecan #yesyoucan #fitspiration #fitspo #weightloss #justdoit #nevergiveup #believeinyourself #doit #healthyfood #healthylifehappylife #keepgoing #gettinghappy #gettingfit #keepitup #neverquit #fitnessoverload

@fitandfearless_ pointed out that there are 100days left in 2014, so I plan to make the most of it. I am going to use these 100days to lose my last 18lbs! I have been stuck on 173 for about 2 months now. I have not been working out as hard or eating as healthy, but the time to get back on track and get better is NOW! So I have set my goal and made my calendar to finish out 2014 and become an even better version of myself. No day but Today! Does anyone else have plans or goals for the rest of 2014? #fitspo #fitspiration #100happydays #weightloss #gettinghappy #gettingfit #gettinghealthy #gettingbetter #setgoals #stronger #stayactive #staystrong #healthylifehappylife #yesican #yesyoucan #believeinyourself #nevergiveup #justdoit #keepgoing #power #progressphoto

Reason I wanted to fit into Forever 21 jeans: they're only $9. So happy to be able to wear a pair of jeans that are tight and dont sag on me. I still feel like I have a bit of a muffin top, but these size 29s zipped and buttoned. I know ill look better in them and feel better in them soon! #motivation #smallersize #newjeans #forever21 #theyfit #keepgoing #nevergiveup #justdoit #believeinyourself #yesican #fitnessoverload #fitspiration #fitspo #healthylifehappylife

Starting off my Monday by trying to motivate myself to start eating better and getting more serious about my healthy life style again. Lunch was a ham sandwich with pesto, some strawberries, and a salad. Breakfast was a bowl of cereal, a banana, and a bran muffin. Snack was a granola bar. Plus im having plenty of water! Stay hydrated and stay healthy all! #motivationmonday #healthylifehappylife #eatingright #healthyfood #gettingfit #tryingtofeelbetter #tryingharder #fitspo #fitspiration

Good Morning All!! Happy Friday! I am starting out my morning with a nice #flexfriday. Yesterday I skipped my workout and ate some great Mexican food, but I had a great time doing. Today after work I will be doing my workout from yesterday and the one for today! It will be done! And I will be working out tomo and maybe Sunday. A friend of mine said to me that I dont give myself enough credit for how well I have done with losing 40lbs. And I know its true, but im resisting the urge to get comfortable with myself because I have 16 more lbs to go!! It's a slow process, but im getting physically and mentally healthier everyday! #fitnessoverload #fitspo #fitspiration #workinghard #workout #healthylifehappylife #gettingfit #gettinghealthy #justdoit #nevergiveup #weightloss #lookinggood #lookingbetter #believeinyourself #behappy #lookatmenow

The times that I judge myself the hardest are when I am standing in front of a mirror. So I decided to turn my mirror into my motivation wall to try and remind myself to accept who I am and that I am beautiful and I can do anything I set my mind to do. Today also begins my 21 days of no sweets, no white bread, and no chips, so ill need all the motivation I can get. #motivationmonday #motivationwall #fitspiration #fitspo #believeinyourself #yesyoucan #yesican #nevergiveup #justdoit #healthylifehappylife #nosweets #healthyfood #21days

Good Morning All. Happy #flexfriday! So maybe this wasn’t the summer of transformation like I planned. In reality I only lost 9lbs since the end of June. But this was a summer filled with love, adventure, great memories made with friends and family, traveling through California, eating and trying great foods, and just overall working harder to just be happy and content. So even if my body did not change, I would not trade this summer for anything. And thank you to all who made it oh so wonderful. Much love! <3 #progressphoto #endofsummer #fitspiration #motivation #fitspo #fitness #healthylifehappylife #bodypositive #peaceandlove #nevergiveup #believeinyourself #yesyoucan #justdoit #friendsandfamily #inspire #truelife #reality

I know one of my personal struggles is the scale. There was a time where I was so obsessed with the scale that I would go on it 4 times a day, which is unhealthy. So one thing I have really pushed for is taking measurements. Seeing inches shed off your body is a lot better than watching the scale fluxuate. As they say, muscle weighs more than fat. So I take my measurements at the beginning of every month and weigh myself once a week, usually every Sunday morning So my diet has been overall shitty pretty much for the last month. But I have maintained my weight of 173. But I measured today and in the last month I took 1/2in off each leg, 1in off each thigh, 1in off my waist, and 1/2in off my hips. It shows I added 1in to my stomach, but I think im a bit bloated from the ice cream last night. And it shows I added 1/2in to my chest. Idk how that happened, but im not complaining!

Spent my morning getting crafty. Designed a new workout shirt. Its a heart on the back if you can't tell. And then I drew this cute little picture to help try and remind myself that im beautiful. Can't wait to hang it on my wall at school! #beautiful #letsgetcrafty #fitspiration #motivation #believeinyourself #yesyoucan #workoutclothes #imanartist
