Day 3 of 7-minute workout done. My arms are starting to feel it. No run today. If I get to bed soon and it doesn’t rain (oh my gosh, stop raining!!!), then I will run tomorrow morning.
I am going to try some challenges like I did before. Those things make me feel so freaking good about myself. I will try the 100 Push-up Challenge again. I did 5 of 6 weeks before I got sick.

Did 7-minute workout and I should get in a few miles this week…if it ever stops raining. I’m not a fan of the elliptical this week, so I don’t even want to think about it.

My name is Emily. I’m 5’5 and 25 years old. I’ve never submitted before and this is very scary for me!
I’ve struggled with my weight for the past seven years, through two spinal surgeries, college, and depression. I decided one day that I wasn’t going to struggle anymore, and here I am.
I lost the weight through clean eating, counting calories, Zumba and yoga. I am not at my goal yet but I am much closer than I ever thought I’d be.
Highest weight: 178 lbs
Starting weight (first photo): 160 lbs
Current weight: 129 lbs
Goal weight: 120 lbs
I have just started a health and fitness blog at nevertoolate-srsrly.tumblr.com and would love to find new people to follow as I lose the last 9 lbs!

I did the “scientific 7-minute workout” and it was perfect. I am a lot out of shape, but I hope in 2 months I can do 3 rapid rotations of it. This will be my thing everyday. I really have to believe in myself that I can do great things. I will be a runner again.

EASY HEALTHY VEGAN BLACK QUINOA, BERRY AND CHIA SEED ENERGY BAR TOPPED WITH CRANBERRIES AND DARK CHOCOLATE RECIPE
- 1/2 cup of quinoa
- 2 tbsp of chia seeds
- 1 cup of frozen berries
- 12 dates
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 2 bits of dark chocolate
This energy bar is rammed with goodness! Not only is it the quinoa a complete protein, meaning that it contains all of essential amino acids the body cannot synthesize from other sources, but it also has the highest iron content of any grain! Additionally it is rich in essential amino acids and vitamins A, B2 and E and is an excellent gluten free alternative to other grains. I get mine from the wonderful people at Real Foods. The dates and berries are full of vitamins and dietary fibre and keep the whole bar stuck together. And well, the chocolate is a little happiness booster, filled with antioxidants and caffeine to get you pumped up and ready to go :)
And the best point is they are so easy to make! Start off with rinsing the quinoa in cold water, then bring to the boil and let it simmer for approximately 15 minutes, drain and set aside to cool (if you have the time, let it cool in the fridge overnight). Next step is the base: throw the chia seeds, berries and dates into the food processor and blend till its a gooey sticky red mess. I like to add apple sauce and vanilla for extra flavor. In a bowl mix most of the dried cranberries with the black quinoa and red mess. Spread the mixture on a sheet of baking paper, it should have a fairly dense consistency. Bake at 190 C/fan 170C/gas 5 for thirty minutes, depending on the thickness of the energy bars. Once crispy, remove from oven and cut into portions. Now’s the time to melt the dark chocolate in a small saucepan and cover each bar liberally, then sprinkle chopped dried cranberries on top while the chocolate is still warm. Let the whole thing cool et voilà! Enjoy as a workout snack, a posh biscuit or a lunchbox snack.omg..
