So…I’ve had some setbacks lately. And most of them are because of my inability to stay motivated or stick to my diet. It’s October…and I LOVE CANDY. The fall has always been about soups, pumpkin baked goods, candy, comfort food, and definitely NOT about the green peppers that I have to crunch, crunch, crunch all…
DetailsI was a three sport athlete in high school. I played volleyball, basketball, & track, then played basketball in the summers. While I wasn’t great at any of these sports (I suppose I was decent at basketball), I am a coach’s daughter & lived in a small town. Ergo, in the Berndt house, we were playing sports.…
DetailsI decided to cheat this ENTIRE weekend because of a few reasons: I wanted to have a girl’s night with my mama! I had a 13 hour day on Saturday with my new part-time job and was exhausted when it was over. I’ve had a really good diet & exercise three weeks, and I just…
DetailsMy weigh-in last week was 200! I’ve officially reached my goal weight! Through the last six months, I’ve decided that this isn’t enough. Counting calories and eating healthier has developed into a natural habit and lifestyle for me. I naturally gravitate toward water instead of Diet Dr Pepper or alcohol. I find myself preferring fresh…
DetailsI ran my 5K this morning! Three+ years ago, I trained and ran for a 5K in 33:35. Fast forward 3+ years and flip flop fitness (read this for that story), and I ran another 5K! I cut almost a full minute off my time, and got 32:36! Thoughts post 5K: You can always run…
DetailsI went to Zumba class tonight. I hadn’t been to my Wednesday night class in a few weeks, so I was GETTIN. IT. I was rocking my sweet, sweet dance moves, and you would have thought that I was the next contestant on America’s Got Talent. It was in the middle of the class while watching…
DetailsSecond weigh in of the second weight loss challenge today. The scale read 212. That marks 30 pounds. Thirty wasn’t the number goal (that’s 42). 212 wasn’t the weight goal either (that’s 200). But it’s 30. Pounds. And I don’t mean to brag (well maybe I do), but that’s an accomplishment that I’m incredibly proud…
DetailsA few things… 1) I have 11 draft blog posts. I didn’t want to edit or expand on ANY of them, so here I am. 2) I wanted to write this in my backyard, with my party lights on and my “Blogging Day” coffee cup filled with Gatorade. But then I opened my fridge and…
DetailsHonestly, I could leave this post with the title and it would accurately relay what the content would be about. But what’s the fun in that?? As you could ascertain from my most recent post, I. Did. So. Well. I hit my halfway point on my weight loss and WON my weight loss challenge!!!! That…
