Get Real Food Challenge and Swimsuits
The Get Real Food Challenge is coming to an end on Monday (with a weekend that's going to prove a little tough in the food department) and I'll have a wrap up post coming soon.
This week, things clicked again and my stomach started to feel so much better. No waking up with an angry tummy. This week taught me to be more in tune with how full I am. Once I put everything on a plate, a lot of times I'll eat it all and that's not always needed. With the time change, I've been feeling off and not so hungry this week, so if I felt like I was done eating, I was. That's it that's all. There's not much else to say, except that, for this week. I feel like the rest will come in my wrap up post!
On to other more exciting things for you readers...
In my 2013 Goals, I listed that I wanted to feel confident in my swimsuit this year. Sooooo, in typical Kelly fashion, I ended up taking photos in my current bikini.
I'm actually pretty happy with the way it's looking now compared to last summer (last summer I HAD to wear shorts due to my hips' love for looking all muffin toppy. The top fits perfectly this time around instead of my boobs hanging out every where. I just want it to fit my lower half just as well. So that's what I'm aiming for. OR I'm going to just get some new bottoms.... OR a new bikini. I should have known when I bought these that the bottoms were a little skimpy for what I usually wear.
Progress is progress is progress. Even if it's more about getting it through my head that I can wear a swimsuit without covering up. Let's see what happens with these pictures when summer is officially here and I'm spending my time jumping in lakes!

Get Real Food Challenge Update #2
There was supposed to be a vlog here yesterday, but my new computer was having none of that and I got too frustrated to fix it yesterday. Or today. So you get a blog. Deal.
Food
Food wise was fairly good last week minus the times we went out to eat, but I stuck with paleo. Umm.... except for me making a mistake with my pizza on Friday night and forgetting that I had to check 'no cheese' option when I ordered online. So I ate a piece with it and then picked it off the rest.
Gym
Last week I felt off for most of the week and had trouble upping my weight on a lot of things. However, during our special Monday workout, I actually managed a 2RM Turkish Get Up with 20lbs and majorly upped my box jumps. Wahhoooo! This week I've been PRing all over the place but I'll update that tomorrow.
Life
Sleep has been actually on a roll this week and despite feeling off and the stressors I've had, I've been well rested. Some of those days were melatonin induced, but I'm okay with it. Unfortunately this week started off with me trying to push down the stress eating cravings, but so far so good.
GOING FORWARD
Food
My goal this week has been to take out my paleo treats and decrease my 'paleo approved sugars' to take down the stress eating cravings. I didn't bake anything on Sunday, and instead prepped lots of veggies and protein to make it through. Unfortunately, I also made maple cinnamon almond butter and someone needs to pry it out of my hands. It's so good.
I'm also trying to up my water intake. I've been slacking recently. So the brita and I are now BFFs.
Gym
Trying to give it all no matter how I feel this week. Pushing through and getting it done. That's it that's all.
Life
My life goal is the same as the gym. Approach things with positivity and every time my head gets into a vicious cycle of self doubt, counteract it with what is going right in my life at this very moment.

And a little something extra.... pictures and American Eagle LIE.
For those of you who saw that picture of me in my size 10 shorts and figured I was a 6-8. Not so much. AE is never consistent with their sizes depending on the cut. Case in point: I have 12s, 10s, 14s and they're all different. I went in this weekend to try jeans on, and because EVERYTHING is flipping low rise, no 8s or 10s that I grabbed fit me. Bah!
