What 30 Days Has Taught Me

October 30, 2014 by Megan 7 Comments

Today is my thirtieth day in a row of blogging. That is a really big deal for me, which I explained at the start of this challenge. I am doing a year worth of 30 day challenges all in attempts to better myself. Challenge one: Whole30 Challenge two: Thirty days straight of blogging. Challenge three: Undecided, but you should join me. We can start on November 1st. Here are five things I have learned from challenging myself for 30 days. 1. No mental acrobatics. The decision ...

Progress Not Perfection

October 28, 2014 by Megan 10 Comments

A little over a year ago, this was me. I was 3 months post-partum with baby number 3 in maternity jeans and barely squeezing into my 6 foot 7 inch husband's t-shirt. That is a hard place to be.  This is me today. I still have more to lose, but look how far I have come! This last week or two was rough. I made bad food choices.  I didn't move enough. When I stepped on the scale and saw it had gone up I was really bummed. That feeling of inadequacy is gone now though. I know I ...

Follow Through & Change

October 18, 2014 by Megan 4 Comments

About a month ago I told everyone I knew, including my readers, that I was running a Halloween 5K. The very next day I went out and ran 2 miles. The day after that I ran another 2 miles. Then my back was bothering me, so I stopped running and I did nothing. I didn't walk, or bike or go to an exercise class. Because damn it all, change is hard. I woke up this morning and realized that next Saturday was the 5k. A big part of me wanted to just call it off. Hey, I didn't train--can't do ...

What I Ate on Whole30

October 16, 2014 by Megan 12 Comments

One of the biggest question that as come up since finishing Whole30 is what did you eat? I didn't do a very good job of documenting what I ate. I dug through my photo stream and found these photos that I snapped on my phone. I didn't focus on what I couldn't eat or get overly complicated with recipes. I just ate whole food, prepared simply. One of the things we had almost weekly was pot roast. It was compliant, hearty, simple to throw in the crockpot and everyone loves it. We typically do ...

Getting Dressed

October 14, 2014 by Megan 12 Comments

One of the fun things about losing weight is getting dressed. After years of yoga pants, the husbands T-shirts/hoodies and a knot on top of my head, I thought it might feel good to get dressed. Not fashionista get dressed, but love-me-get-dressed. Somedays I still crave comfy--I'm pretty much always in flats and at the end of the day, practical rules. I don't always remember to take a picture of myself, but here is a collection of what I found from various points in my journey. Everything ...
