Kicking the Cupcake

For the last month or so I've been getting serious about losing weight and working hard to do so. I've picked up a real workout routine and began cooking healthier and really paying attention to everything I put in my mouth. I didn't feel comfortable sharing anything about my weight loss journey until I knew I was committed and making progress. This week I hit my 5% goal of losing 10 pounds so I figured that meant maybe it would be ok to give others a peek into what I'm doing. About a year ago I started a blog dedicated to my weight loss, but that never really ended up happening, but now it has! With that I've began chronicaling my thoughts on losing weight and my personal journey again.

If you want to follow along with me and see what I'm up to on that front, head over to Kicking the Cupcake. I plan on sharing recipes, workout tips, my own struggles, and a lot of other things. So if you feel so inclined you can head over there and take a peek!

A little motivation

Late last week I stumbled upon this gem of a website In It To Gym It. In my ever continuing quest to lead a healthier life, as well as shed some pounds, In It To Gym It has already given me much more hope and motivation than I could have ever thought I'd find. It's nice ot know that somewhere out there in the blogosphere/interwebs there are people who struggle with not eating that last cupcake, or lack the motivation to do the 25 minutes of pilates they know they should do, or who just feel plain disgusting with the way they look and feel at the moment. I love checking out all of the trials and tribulations made by the 80 + contributors that let me know that I'm not alone in my thoughts and goals. It's a really awesome website you should really check out if you're looking for some fitness motivation and/or support.
