Capitol Hill Dreaming
This a compilation of everything ME. From weight loss, to food, inspiration, life, love, and the pursuit of happiness, cute boys, and some good food.
This blog has no theme... people are cluttered, minds are never in order... this is not supposd to be either.
Welcome to my side of the fence... the grass is way greener :)
Tucking in my shirt into my skinny jeans and not feeling, or looking!, like a whale in a corset.
It’s the little things that really show your progress :)
When your aunt and mom ask you for weight loss advice after criticizing your weight loss for months…
I’ve officially moved from my weight loss phase to my maintenance phase :) 33 lbs from my highest weight and I feel good. Really good. Time to tone up and loose fat and inches, if the number on the scale goes down in that process then that’s ok, but that’s not my goal anymore.
Size 4 jeans yesterday and this number on my scale this morning. What a good week! Have only been lifting for a week and I’ve already lost an inch and dropped pounds. Now to gain it back in muscle!
Today, I bought size 4 jeans. And they weren’t tight, I didn’t have a a gross muffin top. They fit. Just as well as my size 10 did 3 months ago. Words cannot describe how proud I am. I’m not done, my tummy does not look how I’d like it to. But I’m on my way. This proves it.
This is so inspiring! You can definitely see change in her tummy and arms!
Awesome Job!!
Day one versus day thirty (: no big arm difference but whatever! I just realized im wearing the same shorts too… look at how loose they look compared to day 1! aw yea!
And suddenly, I realized that I’m not and it felt good. Very. Good.
Wow. So true. But lately, my live for healthy food that helps me be skinny has grown.

Lesson #1 of Weight Loss and Fitness Achievement:
Q: I’ve been doing six sets each of five exercises for my waist, six days a week, and I still can’t see my six-pack. What am I doing wrong?
A: ”No matter how many situps, crunches, twists or whatever else you do for your waist, you’ll not whittle away fat. The body doesn’t work that way. Fat reduction is achieved internally—and only if you expend a sufficiently greater number of calories than you consume for a sufficient period. Only if you force your body to draw on its energy reserves will you reduce your bodyfat.
You can reduce your bodyfat without doing any exercise whatsoever provided you eat fewer calories than you use for long enough, but even if you exercise three hours a day seven days a week, if you start eating more calories than you expend, you’ll gain bodyfat.” - Stuart McRobertson
This shirt was so tight around my arms that I couldn’t lift them up and I had stopped wearing it. Today there’s extra room. It’s in the little things that I really see the progress.
So, today I get an e-mail from my friends… Vegas for July 4th weekend. I knew this was coming, I really did… my whole weight loss journey began because I wanted to look amazing for Vegas. I’m now a little over 2 months away and I’m so close I can taste it.
25lbs down, I don’t know what my fat percentage is, that;s something need to figure out. I don’t just want to get to a number on the scale but to an awesome body fat percentage. I want to be somebody’s inspiration, because I’ve found so much inspiration here…
I am so excited to work out, to run, to lift weights, to see the changes in my body that I never thought were possible.
Protein shake time!! Easy way to get some calories and protein into my system. Since I just don’t want to eat.
I was so scared that my trip to Colombia was going to mess up my progress. It didn’t. I was really careful and I even over indulged and I was alright after all.
If I ate too much I drank a ton of water and was just a little bit more careful the next morning.
I don’t want to be scared of food. I see so many girls on tumblr that get to their goal and then go lower and lower and then are scared to eat normally to not gain the weight back. I don’t want to get there, sometimes I feel like I am but I’ll stop myself before it gets to serious ( I hope so anyways).
There’s my rant for the day. So glad to be back! I missed Tumblr. Also, Colombian food is amazing! Oh Lord that warm coconut pie with ice cream!
