My Progress – Week 12 Can we just pretend I didn’t just fall off the wagon for a few weeks? I think it was two, maybe three weeks that I just completely ignored my healthy habits. This is not a first, probably won’t even be a last. So I’m just going to pick up where I left off and start focusing again. No sense in beating myself up over things I can’t change. That just adds negative feelings to an already difficult journey. So let’s skip that part altogether and level set. Goal #1 – Diet – Track my blood…

Weight Loss Journey – Ki’s Progress This week was alright I guess. I wasn’t eating clean most of the week. Way too many carbs and sugar were consumed this week. I did start eating right again Friday and Saturday, though. I didn’t really binge, but I definitely wasn’t eating the way I should’ve been. My blood sugar went up too much. I did a great job of tracking everything I ate and my blood sugar each day. My routine is working out great with those. I just need to stick to it at this point. I didn’t get as active…

My Progress – Week 11 This week was only slightly better than last week… again. I was cheating most of the week and didn’t even try to start getting back into ketosis until Friday. I’m not quite in ketosis yet but I’m staying motivated to get there. I wasn’t active again this week, I did make an attempt to get active. But only toward the end of the week and it wasn’t my best effort, to be honest. Goal #1 – Diet – Track my blood sugar, no matter what. Since I had starting tracking again, my goal was to…

Weight Loss Journey – Ki’s Progress This week wasn’t so great. I did not eat clean and I was not active. I was fighting insomnia the entire week so I was sleeping odd hours and not enough. This left me tired and unmotivated most of the week. While I wasn’t eating clean, I wasn’t overdoing it too terribly bad throughout the week. I kept from binging the entire week and limited myself to one cheat meal per day instead of eating out every meal and drinking soda all day. I did a great job of tracking everything I ate and…

My Progress – Week 10 This week was not as good as last week. My weight plateaued at the beginning of the week and I started dealing with insomnia. So, I did a bit of cheating this week. But I did not binge at all. That’s still progress, right? I did not go overboard on the cheating which I’m proud of. I wasn’t active again this week, I was tired. Insomnia sucks and messes up my whole schedule. So I gave myself a break… again. Goal #1 – Diet – Track my blood sugar, no matter what. Since I had…
" />Fitness Challenge Names Fitness challenge names is a great way to switch up your workout routine when you get bored with what your currently doing.

Playmate Body Shaming – Dani Mathers
Dear Dani, A playmate body shaming, really?! How DARE you! You should be ashamed of yourself. Just because you choose to show your nude body to the world does NOT give you the right to share anybody else’s. I’ll get to body shaming in a minute but invading that lady’s privacy and posting it for the world to see, whether accidental or not, is absolutely unacceptable! As a woman, how do you expect us to teach our young boys to respect women? As a playmate body shaming should not be your way of letting the world know how much you respect…
Sunday Stats – Week 1
My Progress – Week 1 Goal #1 – 10,000 Steps – I’m still sporting an air cast but this week was all about proving the doctor wrong and reaching 10,000 steps again. It was a bit of a painful week but I achieved my goal on three days by walking those steps. Before I broke my leg, I found that taking long walks in the hot Florida sun was just too hard. So I started creating a new habit of walking at least 250 steps every hour for 14 hours each day. This has helped me reach my goal easier and…
