So I never thought I would pull the “I fell off a skateboard in a WalMart toy section” as an excuse to not blog, but that’s what happened…and that’s why I’m keeping it short. Between that and moving furniture with MaCoxon & Sons Moving Co. I’m pretty beat.

What I can tell you is that I ate within my points.
I also had the best Mexican food in Tallahassee…be jealous. Megan and I will be happy to take you there.

[GIVEAWAY] Earth Fare Deliciousness!

Hello dear reader!

It’s truly amazing how awesome your body feels when you treat your body like the temple that it is. Like I read today on someone’s post, “treat your body well because you’re the one living in it!” When I look back and think about how I treated my body for so long, it just makes me even more thankful for that bold decision I made on September 18, 2010 to change my life. Almost three years and 130 pounds later, it was still the best decision I have ever made.

So enough about that. Let’s talk about Earth Fare AND MY AWESOME EARTH FARE GIFT TO YOU!

I have always been some sort of a foodie. When I was obese, I dreamed of going on to Man v. Food and showing Adam Richman how to really eat like boss. I was all about going to all you can eat restaurants and getting my money’s worth and then some. I treated like every meal was my last meal. At the rate I was going, it easily could have been.

But that all changed when I began this weight loss journey.

I’ll never forget the first time I walked in to Earth Fare. “What is that smell?” I asked. “It smells…fresh.” Produce. I was smelling produce. The fruits and veggies were like nothing I had smelled before. I mean, I had had fresh vegetables before, but WOW! Then…I saw the meat market. It was beautiful.

I was so happy with Earth Fare, I e-mailed them about my experience and my story. Then, they published it on their page! (You can read it here!)

So a few months ago, I applied for their Earthlete program, their ambassador program that celebrates athletes that are fueled by eating healthy. I’m not gonna lie, I really didn’t think I was going to get it. BUT I DID!!!!! and it has pushed me to get fit in the gym and lose weight in the kitchen.

Which leads us to today.

This weekend, I got an email from Earth Fare that said they had something waiting for me at Earth Fare: COUPONS!!! Now I love a good deal. Like The Wolf always says, “You gotta be a Baller on a budget yo!” (Okay, she doesn’t say it exactly like that…)

So here is a breakdown of the day:

Here are all the foods I ate. I used all my points today. I can truly say that I have never eaten this many fruits and veggies in my life. Easily the biggest advantage of PointsPlus. (Can you tell that I’m a fan yet?)

This is me trying not to fall off of a Stairmaster after climbing 200 floors. I had also done my arm workout before got on the Climbing Machine of Pain. Even though I foam rolled all the muscles and tendons, I can tell I’m going to be sore tomorrow….

This is me saying “see ya tomorrow.”
