My little Bit of Honey

My 31st Birthday was on Saturday, I was in NYC with friends for a wedding, I didn't mind one bit. It was an excellent weekend and I danced, drank (and drank..) and ate my way through the weekend. It is what it is and I don't regret a second of it I partied like I was 21 again, except my body very quickly reminded me that I am NOT 21 anymore. By the end of the weekend my whole body ached and I felt like I was hit by a truck. Still it was totally worth it.  Now though, I'm onto my 31st year and I feel like I need to set some new goals for myself. The goals have always been the same and usually they don't get achieved. Sad, yet true. I've been trying to lose this last 24 pounds for a few months now, I really need to take it seriously now. So I was looking on Pinterest trying to find some motivation. I stumbled upon a blog that a woman wrote and it was about running at least 1 mile every day for a year. I can do that. I can totally do that, might be tough in the winte

Last week was pretty terrible, I won't lie. I didn't grocery shop so I didn't have much for healthy food in the house. We had a party at the house so I had all this... yummy but crappy for you food all around me. Not to mention the delicious wine and beer we also got, hard stuff to say no to and my willpower was in the toilet basically. So Friday I took the time I needed, pulled myself up by my bootstraps and shopped, got the healthy stuff and went from there. I still didn't do GREAT this weekend, but I had the option. Today though, today I am on my shit. I did two workouts and have eaten really well so far, including vegetables! I have the hardest time with veggies, seriously. Drinking my water as well and just feeling better. I went for a run and it was HARD but I also got down to a really good under 10 minute pace for 2 miles which has not happened in awhile. So, that's great! I hit my 10k steps and am on an accountability thread group so I have my own post tha

If you've been reading along, you may remember that awhile back I made an appointment to see a Nutritionist, well that appointment was on Friday. It was really interesting to say the least and very eye opening. I had talked to a friend before going and knew somewhat of what I should expect. I'll try to break down the visit as best I can. So the first thing we she did was just of course ask me why I was there and about my current eating habits. I told her I'm looking to lose the last 25 pounds and get back to pre baby weight but being healthier and to change my habits - for life. I also mentioned that I'm an emotional eater, stress makes me eat. She was not concerned with my calories, but more my balance of what I was eating. Makes sense. She also helped me see that I've really been depriving myself of things that are part of a BALANCED diet. The key word there is balanced, I eat a lot of starch (duh potatoes) and a lot of sugar but not a lot of natural sugar which
