innocent-to-twisted asked: Okay, I am really confussed. Yesterday I was 88 pounds, now I am 91? How the heck did that happen? I did my normal everyday stuff? Do you think it's water weight? Well, I did have 1/4 cup of ice cream last night, but no way in gods name did I gain 3 pounds off that! It was only 120 calories! What do you think happened? I had only 800 calories so far today and ran 5 miles! I did have alot of...

Anonymous asked: I watched your youtube video about flexibility with all the stretches. And that helped me A TON! I'm on my school's dance team, and these stretches helped a ton with my flexibility, they especially helped me a lot before try outs.

Anonymous asked: i was just looking at your youtube, and i noticed that you're only 18! i have to say, i thought you were older than that! i'm 17, and this makes me admire you even more knowing that you're just a little older than me! i was kind of using it as a cop out and saying, well, she's like 20, by the time i'm her age i'll look like her!

Stress Eating
I have been a big victim of stress eating today.
Brownie and a mini bag of cheetos and a see’s? ah crap.
I’m not going to beat myself up because that’s not good either. I’m just gonna move on and remember that all this stress will be over after tomorrow, then everything will be back to normal.
Stupid finals!!!

Today's Workout and Intake:
Today my roomie and I did P90x Yoga. It must’ve got my metabolism going crazy cause I had my little protein shake, ate a yummy dinner of rice, chicken, and steamed veggies, then an hour later had a freaking amazing smoothie (pineapple, berries, yogurt, grapes). Then I let myself have a mini bag of Goldfish that have been calling my name for days now. Yummers!
I was too lazy to count...

Studying Tip!
Did you guys know that if you eat something rich and minty while studying, then eat the same thing during your test that it will help you remember what you studied?
Try Junior Mints, Yorks, or a strong gum! :)
(I’m going with Junior Mints ;))

Today is going to be crazy! Studying for finals, packing and cleaning my room, and trying to squeeze in a workout! I’m pretty sure my roommie and I are just going to do P90x Yoga, but I might just hit the elliptical later because I have an INTENSE sunburn on my legs from going sailing yesterday.
I can’t believe I’ll be home by Thursday. I’m so excited to go back to my old...

ifyougiveagirlablog asked: I never knew you had a tumblr! I found your youtube channel because of your breast reduction video, you were actually what got me to tell my mom I wanted one and we went to the doctor and now we're waiting for insurance to go through and stuff. So thanks :) I was originally planning on just waiting a few years and getting it without telling anyone, but your video made me realize I wanted it...

Thanks for the gym bag suggestions!
claireofearth answered your question: I want a good gym bag.
youtube.com/watch?v… around 14 minutes, she shows a really nice lulu lemon gym bag!!
I saw that same video and that’s what gave me the idea! Unfortunately I definitely cannot afford a lovely lulu bag :(!
I’ll look out for one at Nike, A&F and VS! :) Thanks guys!!! <3

I want a good gym bag.
I’m going to start going to the gym again when I go home and I’m able to renew my membership. Do any of you have any good recommendations for cute gym bags? :)
innocent-to-twisted asked: I like the style you bring to your blog. It's a balenced sort of tone. Optimistic, positive and - well lived. It's simple and pure yet raw and strong. I like that, and I like how you promote young women to be strong and dedicated rather than what sociaty wants them to be, frail and fake. It's honorable, I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoyable weekend, and thank you for the...

Think Thin Protein Bars Review!
Today I gave myself the best job in the world: taste testing! Just a few days ago I spotted these interesting bars in my campus’ student store. I picked up the Chocolate Espresso one and decided to give it a taste. I really liked it and decided to pick more up and give you all an overall review of these bars and brand as a whole!
First off, the nutrition is awesome. Most the bars are 230...

deth asked: I'm amazed by how healthy you eat. A question for you: How do you hang out with friends who aren't on the same path you are who want to go out to dinner with you? What do you order? I'm talking about like, when there's absolutely nothing else you can eat for a long time and you need to eat something. Same with when they order delivery. I'm really curious. Thanks!

innocent-to-twisted asked: Thanks for the advice! Is it okay to have recovery days every now and then? Bacause I work out EVERYDAY, but my parents say I need to rest my muscles. But I am afraid that if I do I'll gain a BUNCH of weight. Fat weight. Should I just cut down my excersise on a recovery day or just not excersise at all. And do I reduce my calories to fit the day? Thanks! Love your blog! I think I'll get...
In only at 403 cals so far but my sugar intake is already at 52g. I’ve had Cheerios, yogurt, a banana and peaches. Apparently the yogurt in our caf is low fat but loaded with sugar. Our caf really need to put the nutrition up above the foods because I have to look these things up online AFTER I eat. But now I know, so I’m never eating that crap again. Ugh. So annoying! I’m so...

allofmy-excess:
i just can’t.
This is why I’m getting really annoyed with a large majority of the Fitblr community. There’s really no need to be condescending to those who are doing exercises differently than you, or doing ones that you don’t.
Now, I’ve read all the articles about why Smith Machine squats are bad for you, and I’ve read articles that totally debunk...

Today's Workout:
Today I just did P90x Yoga. It gets better each time. I really wanted to wear my HRM but totally forgot… Ugh.
After my protein shake I added my calories up and I’m at almost 1700 but my protein is at 110g. Still lower than I’d like though. Dear Lord. I’m just not used to eating this much at all. What’s weird is that I really feel like I didn’t eat hardly at all...

Those days when you're forever hungry.
Yup, having one of those. I’ve eaten plenty already today but I’m still hungry and I haven’t even worked out yet.

Today's Intake:
Today I did pretty good I suppose. I didn’t really need some of that extra peanut butter or the other half of that protein bar, but oh wells. I’m going to do P90x Yoga tonight so I need all the energy I can get. So far I’m at about 1400 calories and 57g of protein, and I’m sure I’ll have a snack after yoga. Probably either some popcorn or some protein and water.

Chobani Nonfat Greek Yogurt Review
I am not a Greek yogurt fan. I never really have been. But after hearing all this talk of how amazing Chobani Greek yogurt is, I had to give it a shot.
I went to the store and picked up the non-fat strawberry. I figured strawberry was the safest bet.
This morning for breakfast I added 1/4 cup of Fruit Not Fat granola and some coconut shreds into my yogurt. These were my saving graces....
