Infographic of the Day: According to the CDC, meals have quadrupled in size since the ’50s — and subsequently, we’ve gained an average of 26 pounds apiece.
Sick.
Literally.

Because I didn’t lose any weight in April, even after workout at it, I’ve been mad at myself all week. I didn’t really watch what I ate, I skipped my workout yesterday and on Monday. I beat myself up over it. I was just not impressed with myself and considered April to be a failure.
But then my husband told me that April wasn’t a failure. I was healthy for the entire month and instead of focusing on losing weight I should focus on living healthy. It makes sense and I’m so thankful to have his support. But I just couldn’t wrap my mind about it.
You see, I’m not happy in my skin. I look in the mirror and I hate the way my body looks but no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to get the body I want without starving myself or exercising myself to the verge of death (both of which I know are not the right way to lose weight). So I feel like a failure.
But my husband had a good point. So, May’s goal? Live healthy. I still want to lose weight but I want to be healthy as well. How am I going to do that? I’m going to do everything I did in April - low carb, exercise 3 days a week, ignore the scale, weekend cheat days, pick up Couch to 5K again. But I’m not going to set a weight loss goal for myself. I’m just going to live healthy.
What are your goals for May?

I’m meeting with a personal trainer this afternoon. Maybe that will help.
So mad these 2 oz of nuts are 340 calories! Ugh!
No clue what it’s going to entail. All I know is that it’s free and I need to do something to try to break this plateau.
Friday at 5pm.
I am often asked how to deal with friends and family who don’t understand the desire to eat healthy and exercise. Honestly, it can be rough at first. What you need to keep in mind though is that it’s natural for people to be wary of things they don’t completely understand. When you decide to change your lifestyle to something of a healthier nature, be prepared for people to question and criticize you and perhaps even make fun of you. Some on the other hand will be there to encourage you along your journey.
Here are a few tips I have for those of you going through this:
- Lead by example - make healthy food, eat healthy food, exercise, be positive. By showing people that you enjoy your life and the things you do, they will be more likely to understand.
- Explain when asked - if people don’t get why you’re skipping dessert or choosing grilled over fried, be prepared to explain that you want to put only good things in your body. It’s the only one you have, so you’re treating it well.
- Be patient - it may take your friends and family some time to adjust to this “new you”.. but so long as you give them time and remain patient with them, it’s more likely as time wears on that they will come to accept, and perhaps even join your new, healthy way of living!
Be prepared for some people to never accept this. As hard as it is to hear… you may come to find that some people in your life truly weren’t your friends to begin with. I myself discovered this… When I stopped raging every day and didn’t want to grab Taco Bell and lounge around on the couch all day, there were people who not only made fun of me and criticized me, they virtually disappeared from my life. In the end though, I’m thankful for this. It made it much easier to weed out the ones who were genuinely happy for me and WANTED me to be happy and healthy… and those that just wanted me to keep them entertained and make them feel better about their OWN lives.
Be strong, stay positive <3
some people eat clean. some people eat diet foods. some people drink diet soda. some people eat meat. some people use splenda.
NOT EVERYTHING WORKS FOR EVERYONE.
just because you eat clean and think it’s the bees knees doesn’t mean everyone in the damn fitblr community has to.some of us can’t live without sugar free jello & or diet soda.
stop telling people that their “diet” isn’t good enough because it’s bullshit.
DO WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU

I’m going to continue my workout routine, relatively low carb lifestyle and calorie counting. All my workouts are planned for the month as well. Tonight? Spin class.
How was April for you?
I’m so aggravated. That’s 2 months with zero loss. It seems I’ve hit a big time plateau and I don’t know how to tackle it.
UGH!
