Before/After T25 pictures (Results)

Image
Guess who completed T25 this past week! And it only took 10 weeks!!! You know... the actual length of time T25 is. I wanted to record my before and after T25 pictures and stats because I think it is AMAZING!! Also, keeping in mind that 5 weeks into T25, I started the Keto diet. I am wearing the same pants, which I haven't worn in a while, because honestly, it is HOT here and I need to be in shorts. Also, they shift a lot during my workouts because they are too loose now!! I find myself pulling them up often.  I'd also like to point out, these are a size Medium. 8-10. All of my workout clothes is older and a size small-ish. I bought these after having my daughter because I didn't want to bring myself down further by trying to squeeze into these size small workout clothes. That would have set me up for failure! But now, it is a great measuring point, popping out "muffin-like" to having to pull them up!! What is my weight looking like? Well, take a loo

No Days Off For A Stay-At-Home Mom

Image
I sit here with a pounding headache, overwhelmed that I had to, yet again, exclusively deal with my toddlers tantrum/meltdown over probably just being tired. All I wanted to do was finish my coffee, but I, instead, had to hold her, rock her, walk around, find toys, hold her sippy cup because she was too upset to hold it (but wanted to drink it), ALONE while my husband watched a movie. No care in the world. No help whatsoever! I'm tired of not having a day off. I get he works every weekday, but do his days off include a day off from being a parent? Because I don't get a day off from being a mom. When he clocks out of work, he completely clocks out of ALL responsibilities. I'm walking around my house, trying to rock my baby to a calm state, and I'm noticing how much of a mess my house is, because I sat and watched a movie with my husband after the baby's bedtime instead of cleaning last night. I know I am getting ABSOLUTELY NO help with it. None. I never do.  I

Skinny Fat to Fit Diaries: T25 and Keto UPDATE

Image
So, it has been a few weeks since I checked in with my T25 progress and Ketogenic Diet updates. I'm happy to report I AM STILL on track to finish T25 this week, as I also celebrate my one-month-anniversary on the Keto Diet!! Week 1 & 2 of the Keto Diet, my energy was down. I was so tired. I could not successfully keep up with just T25. Where I was adding treadmill or weight time after T25 some days pre-Keto, I just did NOT have the stamina to do it. I honestly thought I was burned out and wouldn't be able to finish T25. The 3rd week though, it was like a new burst of energy came over me. I was killing these workouts!! I did slack a tiny bit on T25. July 4th week, my 3rd week on Keto, I skipped my T25 for the 4th and the following day- you know, just spending time with my family instead. And because Fridays are my double T25 days, I didn't add those workouts back in. Week 4 on Keto (the following week, which is also this past week) I felt I had even more energy! I

From Zero Experience to creating in 3 days with a Silhouette Cameo

I have wanted a Silhoutte Cameo for SOOOOOO long! But since I've been into sewing and spent money on that craft, I only threw the idea to my husband in case he felt like I was worthy enough come Christmas or my birthday (I was not). But luckily for me, with his new job, getting your name out there is important. He text me one day and said, "Hey, remember that machine you wanted to make t-shirts? Get it." And OMG, I WAS OVER THE MOON! I immediately started researching the cheapest, most value packed bundle around. I saw I could get one for about $187.99 I believe, but it didn't include as much. And then I saw that Amazon had bundles for $249.99 that included everything I needed. Now I had never researched all I needed. Didn't even watch YouTube videos, there was NO TIME! HE SAID YES!! So this starter bundle was perfect for me, as it included everything I needed to get started. This thing could not have came soon enough, I was so excited! And nervous. But wit
