Weekend wrap-up

  Is it really Monday already?! Where did the glorious weekend go?? To start, we have to talk about Friday. I got up early enough and got 25 mins of walking in before work-that was workout 9/10 for last week's 2-a-days. All week I did great! Until Friday evening. I've been struggling A LOT recently …

Tell me it’s over Thursday

I'm going to make this short(i think)...as this afternoon has thrown me for a loop. Long story short, I pulled up to Subway and got out of my car. A gentleman said to me, "I'm going to need to move my truck" I just looked at him confused and said... "ok...?" He stared at me …

2-a-days continue!

Happy Wednesday ya'll! If I had to choose just 1 meme to describe how I'm feeling it would be this one.... Tuesday's 2-a-days was a complete success! In the morning I woke up at 4:40am and was able to get a solid 45 minutes in. About 20 minutes on the treadmill, 15 mins on the …

Transformation Tuesday #1

Wow. Has it already been a week since I posted on the blog?! I'm trying to stay consistent...but you know, life. Happy Transformation Tuesday! Sooooo much has changed since the picture on the left!(If you care to join me on my journey on Instagram, feel free to follow me! 🙂 ) That picture was taken …

Amanda Friday 2.0

Happy happy Friday everyone! I'm going to tell you a little about this past week and then wrap it up about this weekend's plans! Monday was a gorgeous day here in Arkansas! I think the high was around 74 or so...so I was finally able to get outside for a run! Not my greatest run, …

Weigh-in Wednesday

Hooraaayyyy for the middle of the week! I'm so looking forward to this weekend, my beautiful best friend, Amanda will be coming from Wichita(where I grew up) for a short visit! Here are a couple pictures from her last visit in February ❤ HOPEFULLY....I won't drink nearly as much as the last time she was here...but …

NOT ready for Summer

Let's start this post with a few funnies I've seen the last few days 🙂 Why Yes, I've been consistently walking for 20 years 😉 I think the one that resonates the most with me would be this one ^^^ I am definitely more of a dog person, rather than a people person. Perhaps that's …

Goals are changing, sort of

Happy Thursday everyone! Is it just me....or is this the longest week EVER?! Weeks typically go by pretty fast for me. Between work, running, and taking care of my dog Sweet Pea...days & weeks usually fly by. But work has been a little crazy this week, so this weekend seems to be inching its way …

Finally Friday

Something about this saying, truly resonates with me. I often have days where I feel like I am not making improvements. Sometimes all I want to do is quit. But months and months ago, I just wanted to be where I am now. I longed for the day that I could just go out and …
