    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 12

    Well, I guess my self-care routine yesterday worked, because today I am back to my usual awesomeness! I got a really solid sleep last night and I woke up feeling bright and light. I had a feeling it would be a better morning for photos, and thankfully it was! It’s been 12 weeks of intense…

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 11

    Hey hi hello there! I came to the realization today that this challenge is so appropriately named. It really is about being strong to the end, and I am nearing it. Week 11 was the hardest, in part because my diet has become increasingly difficult, and in part because I know only a tougher road…

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 10 

    Hey beautiful babes, I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start! At the moment I’m a bit swamped with work, and it can be easy to get to be feeling overwhelmed. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel! My boyfriend and I have the weekend off and are going…

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 9

    This post is going to take me forever to write – I am officially brain dead after the crazy leg workout I just had! Does that ever happen to any of you? You work out so hard you exhaust all of your brain capacity? Quite a funny thing really! Perhaps I’m just exhausted in general.…

  • Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 8

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 8

    Well, being that I had the realization last week that I actually have 4 more weeks to go on this challenge, I didn’t end up having the “week 8” that I thought I would! I didn’t feel the pressure I anticipated. Rather, this week was one of deep introspection. I keep waiting for this challenge…

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 7

    Readers, I will be the first to admit that I am not the best at following instructions. That is why I have always found baking to be much of a challenge – it so often needs to be precise, and I have never been one for looking at the details. ALL that being said: I…

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 6

    Hello to all you wonderful people, it’s time for another update on my fitness challenge… I am TWO WEEKS away from the end – isn’t that crazy? It seems like just yesterday I was searching for that new adventure, that new challenge, that spark of passion and this challenge so graciously crossed my path. I…

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 5

    Helloooooo and here we are at the end of week 5! I am a little late with this post – what can I say – life happens. I typically will snap a picture the day of my update post, but you’ll have to settle for this bikini-clad one from a few days back, because I…

  • Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 4

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 4

    We finally hit the halfway point of the Strong to the Finish challenge! After some slight apprehension, I started counting calories at the end of last week so I could better track my diet. Firstly I have to say, I have mad respect for people who continually count calories or macros as part of their…

    Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 3

    I was wondering when this challenge would really start to feel like a challenge, and my question was answered this week. The week started off as it usually would, me embracing the low-carb diet, high-intensity workout life. Then on Saturday, it hit me. Like a ton of bricks. I was tired, cranky, and hella irritable.…
