Enjoy your Thanksgiving break with your family. I didn't have any problems in the "freshman fifteen" since I was already 30 years old and married with four children by the time I was attending college. One trick I have learned and haven't practice...
Good luck!! You can do it!
I can completely relate! This time of year, with finals, cold weather, and holidays, it is so hard to put on your tennis shoes and be active. Everytime I think I am "too tired" to work out, I think that there isn't a better way to increase my ener...
I most certainly struggled and still do! My parents have entirely different eating habits. They both had gastric bypass and can actually eat a lot of fatty foods as their bodies simple don't absorb the fat anymore (but they're very sensitive to ca...
Me too:)
Ahh I saw those bars when I was in line at Starbucks yesterday!! They looked so great and festive! I will have to treat myself and get one one day! Good luck today! Enjoy your run:)
I am back home now for Thanksgiving Break! It is going to be an entire week of relaxing, eating, and spending time with the ones that I love! I am so excited! The only thing that I need to keep in mind is MODERATION! I know it is Thanksgiving and ...
I follow Oh She Glows and EatLiveRun too!! They are both soo great! But I will definitely have to check out the others!
I'm a fan of bitch cakes. However, she's vegan, so her food choices do not gel with mine! But I think she's awesome all the same!

I love, love, love food and I cherish the times throughout my day that I get to sit down and enjoy a good meal or snack! So, like you, I think about food constantly! But I think it is completely natural to wake up and think about breakfast first t...

- About Me:
- Like Roni, I have had my ups and downs when it comes to weight loss. I had a pivotal moment after returning home from a girls night (aka junk food binge session) feeling sick to my stomach. I realized that I needed a change and I needed it soon! Ever since then I completely changed my lifestyle. I joined the YMCA in my area and began working out 4-6 days a week. I also started to be very aware of what I was eating. I was never overweight when I began this new lifestyle, I just wanted to tone-up, lose a few pounds, and be a healthier girl! Well this goal turned into an obsession that took over my life and my thoughts. Although I have calmed down quite a bit, I still struggle with letting myself enjoy life without being so wrapped up with my caloric intake. These mental struggles along with being a college freshman inspired me to join this blog! I hope that this will encourage me to continue my healthy lifestyle in my new environment, while also reminding me that life is way to short to obsess about anything! (healthy or not!)
- Plan of Choice:
- None
- Workout Philosophy:
- I stay active doing everyday activities, I'm a walk-a-holic, I'm a gym rat ALL the way

Thanksgiving Break!
I am back home now for Thanksgiving Break! It is going to be an entire week of relaxing, eating, and spending time with the ones that I love! I am so excited! The only thing that I need to keep in mind is MODERATION! I know it is Thanksgiving and I intend to splurge on that day...and that day only! I seem to always overeat when I get back home due home-cooked meals and a full pantry. I joke and say that the "freshman 15" will happen because of my trips home, not college life! Anyway, I guess the… Continue

Rain Rain..Go Away?
Another rainy day here in Auburn! But for the first time in awhile it did not lower my motivation to workout! I decided to work out before class today, so I left my running shoes and sports bra by my desk so it would be the first thing I saw when I woke up! Also, I told myself I wouldn't open the blinds until I was ready to walk out the door, because if I saw the rain coming down I would either crawl back into my warm bed or just give up on the workout in general. I ate a filling breakfast of Ka… Continue

Over Indulgence
I had a wonderful, but indulgent, weekend! It was a wonderful time to hang out with my family, have a wonderful dinner with friends, and simply relax, but I know it wasn't the healthiest few days of my life. I also know that they were the most active either. That's ok though! It was such blast, so no regrets here! Anyway, I found out some great news yesterday... I was accepted to lead a 20 day hiking/backpacking/camping trip out west this summer! I went on the trip two summers ago and had the mo… Continue

- Hi. Thanks for your comment. I had my BTL blog for about a year and a half before deciding to branch out into another blog. Guess it was kind of a natural progression!

- Hi Lindsey. Thanks for a great comment today. WOW! I can not even imagine trying to be healthier while still in college ~ great job. I know that there are always healthier choices to make even while eating out but it is just so stinking hard to actually do it.

Maren said… - Thanks Lindsey! I havent really been on either. Ive been reading, but not posting. Im doing pretty good. I havent been weighing myself and Im eating healthy. Im coming up on one year in maintenance which is good for me. Ive never maintained this long. I went to Ca last week with my family and had a blast at Disneyland and didnt binge so thats good. We celebrated my little girls second birthday on halloween! Weve just been having a lot of fun. My counceling is going great. I go tommorrow and I feel like Ive had some break throughs. Anyways. how are you doing?

Mrs. Ballou said… - Thank you Lindsey for your sweet comment. It's hard to be honest, but at this point I have to be. When I started this journey at 209lbs in January I promised myself that this time would be different. In the past I never had accountability, this time that has to be different. Thanks for the encouragement. :)

- Thanks for the encouragement Lindsey! Its true, Ive been missing out on a lot and have spent so much energy on all of this. Its time to put that energy into something else. Its not worth all the stress! I need to live a little!

StEpHaNiE* said… - Hey Lindsey! Thank you so much for your comment on my post yesterday! Seriously I woke up this morning and was in the midst of talking myself out of going for a run when I signed on here and had your comment on my blog post and another message in my inbox. Your words really got me up and going. I really don't want my story to end here. Thanks for reminding me of that! Hope you have a great day! :)

- Welcome Lindsey! Glad you joined. You will love it here. Lots of great support. I can totally relate with you. Now that Ive lost weight and hit goal, I sometimes find myself obsessing a little about food, exercise and the scale. I am also trying to learn how to relax a bit and not be so weight obsessed. Good luck on your healthy journey!

- Thanks so much for that Lindsey! :) I just read your post "Fall Weather: Inspiration!" and so agree with you...was thinking the same thing on a walk yesterday here in MI. Enjoy your day!
