Hi, I'm Petra and this is my weight loss/fitness blog.
I used to be on Weight Watchers from January 2011 to October 2012, dropping approximately 45 lbs. I've made the transition from unhealthy and unhappy to athlete and this is my journey to becoming a healthier, happier me. I frequently post about my exercise (mostly running, yoga and lifting), the foods I eat, recipes I liked and my daily struggles. You'll also find the occasional tree hugger post, (travel) photography or anything else I find worth remembering and collecting.
I follow most blogs back that follow me. However, I do stay away from blogs that promote EDs, unhealthy methods of weight loss or negative body image.
Feel free to say hi any time!

I think I just found the best clean and healthy pancake recipe. They taste like a banana chocolate chip muffin in a pancake format : Blend 1/2 cup oats, 3/4 banana, 2 egg whites, 1/8 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, and 1 tbsp vanilla extract. Add dark choc chips when you cook them and VOILÀ !
