Smokin Girl.
Just smokin.
And I’m with Brute… the first time I saw a pic of your face I just about died. i mean ALL THAT AND a beautiful face too?! Gots it all lady.
What a change Nikki!~
You look great and must feel fantastic,
(but…you were beautiful then and are beautiful now!!)
Simply beautiful 
Way to go girl! You should be sooo proud!!
Awesome stuff Nik…
…you have the tools now to never ever go back…your young n beautiful! Keep rockin it!!
Wow, these comments were the best presents I could have received.
Thanks SO MUCH for the kind words everyone, I have so much support here that I don’t take for granted.
It was just sentimental for me because I never saw myself at that size. I haven’t seen a pic of me from that size until a couple days ago and it was just shocking.
I never thought I was fat (weird, right?) but I had awesome friends, great boyfriends, a personality that made me well-liked by everyone so school was a breeze. The only reason why I even started working out was because I was stressed, then I think “What if I never decided to go running because I was stressed?”
My life will be so different. I wouldn’t have lost weight, I wouldn’t have my own business doing what I love, most likely still at KFC, and I wouldn’t have met anyone here.
It’s just crazy sometimes how one event changes your life.
ANYWAY, enough of that.
Yes Cal, that’s birthday cake! Sheesh, your mind sometimes ;D
Count, you won’t regret the trip over <3
Oh Brutiful, I never posted a pic of me in my log?
I guess I shouldn’t leave puffed out PR faces or 200# pics of me in your minds haha
Attach pic
I’m back on track after Xmas. I didn’t even enjoy the food really. Sweet potato pie and caramel cookie crunch gelato tasted like crap to me. I was looking forward to my kale and squash stir fry the next day.
Yesterday I did an arms and cardio interval workout. It was also a low carb day yesterday, to get some of this bloat off of me. I’m still retaining a little water but it’ll leave soon enough. I’m just keeping my carbs moderate.
Y’know how much I hate low carb days 
And today I did legs at home.
I’m deloading, looking to start my new routine on Jan 3.
Hmm, I guess that’s it.
I hope you all had a GREAT Christmas, and a better New Years. I still have some logs to visit, but I’m finishing some stuff up for work which is why I’m popping in and out, but I will visit soon.

Your avvie is dramatic ;D
Stay fly mama!
Yeah Christmas food was a major let down for me too! The prime rib was up to par but the sugar stuff did nothing for me. I ate it though because I had permission. Kinda sick huhn?
So yeah lets put that behind us.
Nikki, great job getting back to the healthy fare. I wish my body craved kale. I’m looking forward to following your new routine in the new year. Your eyes are gorgeous BTW.

I am hard to stay away from 
I know what you mean though feel so much better after getting my eating back on track.
Sup Nikki?
Hey there, beautiful!
I love kale.
The only Xmas foods that were worth it for me were my long-time favorites from childhood that only come up at holiday time. The rest of it I pretty much left.
Ooh Hal, I had prime rib too! Nifty lol
Thanks Nadia <3
Yeah, it sucks craving the healthy stuff. But I still love my weekly cheat meal of pizza and zeppoli… oh lookie there, Cheat Meal is tomorrow.
Ha, I love me some kale and Kalle 
Sup Austin-Wonder? You left me for too long.
Hey there Gawgeous!
I agree, I did have sweetbread and ham, and that’s a West Indian childhood favorite of mine and I could have eaten the whole loaf.
The pumpkin pie was like chalk to me.
Today I spent the entire day at my grandparents’, doing fish tank stuff. We had to buy the decor for the tank, set up the fish tank, do this, do that. Ah!
Eats still came up to 1525 though. Which is awesome, I thought eats were going to be a disaster.
Which reminds me, I just had the NASTIEST protein bar ever. I wish I saved the wrapper because I don’t even know the name. Now I feel like I can’t save any of you from that Taste Bud Massacre.
Anyway, I have work to do so I’m out.
XOXO
I know it’s been too long 
When you say sweetbread and ham, are you talking about sweet bread (a delicious baked product), or sweetbreads (thymus glands)?
MMM…sweetbreads…so.freaking.delicious. Oh man. And yes, that’s cow glands. Saute in butter, then some salt and lemon. Yes!!
Hai Nik!
Eweee sweatbread is gross!
Haha you guys worry me
Sweetbread is a delicious baked bread, as Cal put it. We put coconut flakes and mixed peel in there. My mom’s allergic to nuts so she doesn’t make it with pecans in them, but that is NOM NOM good. My grandmother’s friend made some loaves for me, with pecan on nutmeg and all types of goodies. I ate one loaf in one sitting. Craziness.
The pic of the sweetbread is NOT pretty, the ones my g-ma’s friend and mom makes are MUCH prettier, but it’s what I could find.
I did shoulders and cardio intervals today. Nothing much to say about that. Hmm.
Now, as for MY lunch today.
I never posted a pic of my food, so I decided my tofu and sweet potato fries will be a good start <3
It was so good… and spicy. I love hot food.
The only sweetbreads I have heard of was the heart.
<----------------Luvs Sweetbread. And Sweet Potato Pie.
