New Badge!

I took 20,000 steps and earned the High Tops badge!

Yeah! I just got this tonight. Made my whole day. :) I've got some progress I'd love to share with you in the morning.

But first I need to unwind with some tea! Have a grrrrreat night!

Starting Over

Hey guys.

It happened. You know, life. I hit a really rough patch right before going back to school.

My family did some awful things, I was homeless, couch surfing, lost my financial aid, denied home after home. It really hurt. It hurt me on the inside and outside. Truly, I felt lost, disconnected, and my soul felt shattered.

Fast forward to now. November of 2015. I'm not homeless anymore but I still feel the twinges of pain from being emotionally assaulted. I also don't fit into my sexy jeans anymore. Extra sad face.

But here's another side of where I'm at.

I was gifted a FitBit zip. With the combination of the device, their app, and the Under Armour Fitness Buddy and MapMyWalk, I'm making great strides. Literally. :)

What am I doing? Lifting weights at the gym, striving for 12,000 or more steps a day, drinking EAS shakes, tracking everything! As of this morning, I've lost 10.2 pounds, and I'm still going!

So what makes sense to me right now isn't just showing others products, and telling them what works. I'm going to tell you what's working for me, and what's not.

So that's it for today. I'm off to put these feet to work!
