it's been a while, huh guys? i feel like it's time to give you a real explanation for where i've been and why i've stopped blogging and where i plan to go from here. so i'll start with saying I MISSED YOU. a lot. like a real lot.
for a LONG time, blogging gave me so much happiness and enjoyment and excitement. i loved spending hours coming up with recipes, shooting the pictures, and writing the posts. i loved growing this blog and having a creative outlet.

SO FRIENDS. let's kick off the food posts i promised you with something that made my instagram explode! AIR FRYER BONELESS CHICKEN. yep. it's a real thing and it's FREAKING delicious. i swear.
this wasn't going to be the first thing i posted but then i got SO MANY QUESTIONS about HOW it worked. soooo i'm here to tell you. Read More
HI FRIENDS. IM BACKKK. i've really missed these weekly recaps and being able to look back/see where i was at/what i was doing/how i was feeling really does help me when i'm looking for motivation and TRACKING struggling to stay consistent. ??
we were driving home from being in RI for my sister in laws graduation on monday and didn't get home until seven-ish. i made the decision to skip my workout at that point to get ready for work and start unpacking. i decided to just move things around and skip one of my cardio days!
hi friends!! i miss you guys! i'm hoping to get back in here a lot more and work my creative muscles again. the first few months of 2018 continued being stressful and long but also really rewarding. I've grown a lot and worked REALLY hard on my goals/establishing a vision for where i see my life going.
THIS GIRL'S GOT GOALS. and if you're interested in that kind of stuff i'm happy to share!
BUT TODAY. i wanted to hop in and have a (long and very wordy) conversation about my life's journey with body acceptance. why? because social media is a highlight reel – and things haven't always been successful for me, my journey with body positivity/acceptance has been a LONG work in progress. I could have called this a journey with fitness or nutrition or health, but really what it all boils down to is how I feel about myself. that's how i've learned to gauge my progress and i've had SO MANY ups and downs. i finally feel like i'm in a place where i've achieved a lifestyle, where working out and eating nutritious foods is a priority in my life and i'm seeing the benefits of that in my physical body and in my mind. SO LET'S TAKE A TRIP DOWN MY MEMORY LANE AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LONGGGG JOURNEY OF HOW I CAME TO LOVE MY BODY, SHALL WE?
