Hola!

April 14, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized

Happy Monday! Want to see me in a black bodysuit? Ha! But first…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAAbbot Kinney is a trendy street in Venice Beach with fresh food, a hipster vibe, handmade jewelry and trendy boutiques. LOVE to go there for lunch/brunch.

We had…you guessed it, acai bowls. I’m not even going to show you another photo. I DO eat other things but cravings are real things, people. I like the fake grass floor on this place but kept looking at a small dog sniffing around a couple of tables away from us and wondering. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Well, after looking at these photos at home, I realized a black body suit is basically what I’m wearing. The top is a non-materinty workout top that I LOVE and the pants are non-maternity cropped pants from Marshalls. Not. Hiding. Anything here! We went out to lunch after a nice dog walk and this is the kind of stuff I stuff myself into for exercising. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThis dog’s owner was sitting on a stoop feeding her dog ice cream. I’m not showing Charlie this photo.

    You look beautiful in your black body suit, hot mama!! This post has also made me officially miss acai bowls. Back home in Hawaii, I would liiiterally eat one for lunch every. single. day. I got so good at making them at home too! Can’t find a decent one here in NY – plus, it’s not so good when you’re freezing cold! boo!

      Thank you, Jessica! Oh the acai bowls! I’m a connoisseur now and I do make them at home. Post to come soon! I know, it’s one of those things you want every day when it’s warm.

    My SIL almost always wore black leggings and a black maternity tank top – for pretty much 2 years. So, I’d say you’re doing it right.

      Aw yea…that will be me in the fall! I’m sure I’ll be rocking the “athletic” look for a while. Every mom here wears Lululemon and totes a Starbucks. I’ve tried their pants and they feel like tourniquets! 🙂 Thanks, Becca!

      Bhahahah. I totally want to be a pregnant ninja. Many people talk to me about the belly at the grocery store and I am trying to be incognito sometimes, ya know? I’ve got to bust out the mumu. 😉

      You would LOVE it here! In Venice Beach alone, you could take like a thousand photos and not know that they were all from the same place. It’s SO creative. There are alcoves with rose walls, graffiti etc. Thank you for the complement! I’ll take them all right now! 🙂

      Living near the water does have an interesting affect on places, huh? This place is so eclectic. I love Melrose or Hollywood too (a bit iniand) and they have a different vibe. Thank you!

It’s not pretending and it’s definitely not instant results.

It’s the moment you stop negotiating with yourself and start making decisions from who you already believe you are.

Saying “I’m a runner” doesn’t magically make you one, but it does change what you choose to do next-
the habits.

That’s how change actually sticks.

it becomes automatic. 

It’s literally the laziest way to accomplish any goal

These were just things I had to go through on the journey.

It’s why I was sad but at the same time understanding that everything always works out.

that’s the person I choose to be-

Dare I say it but I felt old too.

Then I just decided that, even though I was in this stage of life, I was still going to achieve my goals and have a body that I wanted.

I changed who I was on the inside.

I started telling myself that I was vibrant and beautiful and full of energy and life.

I ate healthier automatically.

I lost over 20 pounds.
