A dinner favorite made clean :-)

I was craving one of my favorite things my grandma always made me, tostadas! But traditional tostadas aren't exactly clean. So I bought some fiber/flax whole grain corn tortillas, got them crispy on the stove with some olive oil spray, topped with mashed black beans (instead of refried pinto beans), shredded chicken, and tomato slices. I had steamed veggies on the side instead of the Spanish rice I would have had in the past. This is definitely gonna get added to the dinner rotation, it was yummy and hit the spot.

Today was arms, well I made today arm day after cheating on the gym earlier this week with my bed. While I was in the middle of my barbell curls I stared at my reflection in the mirror and thought to myself, "who is this girl?" In the gym at 530am doing barbell curls and skullcrushers, rocking a hot pink size small tank, defined arms and a not so round face. After my set I couldn't help but just stand by the mirror and check myself out. Not in a damn i'm hot let me flex sort of way, but just in awe of what I saw. I felt confident as I looked at myself, this was not the same girl I saw in the mirror 10 months ago. Instead of making changes and bringing confidence upon myself that girl was trying to hide what she didn't like. She was ignoring the fact that a big change needed to be made and that it was going to be a tough task. But holy smokes, what started out as a couple laps around the block to get my crazy dog some exercise, has turned into a major part of my life. We're talking life changing.

Now i'm not by any means perfect, I have days that my diet/food is not on point, I skip out on the gym to get some extra sleep, but what doesn't ever lack is my desire. My desire to continue on this journey I set out on back in January. If one day isn't 100% well then that just means I'm gonna wake up the next day and try my best all over again. That's what it's all about. When I looked in the mirror today I felt really confident about what I saw and that's a pretty great thing. And then I looked over and saw some guy and girl making out. Really people?! 530am, at the gym? haha.
