I was expecting to write a post about my back to back vacations but then I just hit a brick wall. Maybe it's just a hard crash from having two really awesome breaks from life, or maybe it's all the changes going on around me. Or maybe it was looking at my credit card statement and thinking "What the fuck are you doing?" People always say don't compare yourself or your life to those around you, but it's hard. Friends are getting married. Having kids. Buying houses. And it's not that I want those things too (I sure as hell don't want kids), but just the bigger picture of situations and life changing. Everything changes. But then I look at my life and think, what's changed here? Nothing. I'm in the same exact spot honestly. And I don't like it. So it's time to try and do something about it. I ...

New Hair And Piercings
I wish I could say "new tattoo" as well but that won't be until later in the year! I get bored with my hair pretty quickly these days. That's what happens when you have a stylist who can do fun and different colors though. I said bye to the green and went with a silver/gray. It honestly looks different all the time depending on the lighting situation but I love it! I loved the green too but when it fades it can be a bit...dull and ugly. I have a feeling this will look 100x better. A post shared by autumn mccumber (@audthebarber) on Apr 9, 2017 at 6:36pm PDT That's my stylists Instagram so be sure to give her a follow! She does some amazing work. Then I got the itch to get a Helix piercing, so I had that done Tuesday! I went to Matt at Viking Body Modification which is set up ... Continue Reading...
Let’s Talk About Nexplanon! The Birth Control Implant!
I've been wanting to blog about this for awhile now but I wanted to make sure I gave my body time to adjust. I would have hated to write a blog post too early, then have the shit hit the fan. Back in November after doing some research and talking with friends, I made an appointment at Planned Parenthood to get the Nexplanon Implant. The reason I went with this is because I wanted something that would last a few years (3-4) and was pretty much "set it and forget it." I know a lot of people are fans of the IUD but I'm not a huge fan of having something floating around in there that doesn't really need to be there. I know, instead I have something chilling in my arm but that's my arm. It's different! The appointment itself was pretty easy! I didn't need an exam before hand (this might ... Continue Reading...
Gym Frustrations
All I want is for the scale to move. That's it! I mean, the nice thing is it hasn't moved in the "wrong" direction. And I know, it's not about numbers and all that jazz. I do "feel" better but I want to start looking better too. I've cut out soda, drink pretty much nothing but water, watch my calories, work out on a pretty regular basis now, and nothing. It's just frustrating and I know plenty of you out there have felt the same way when going on a journey like this. And that's the thing, I know it's something that takes time but that's dumb. This post is more of a rant than anything. I know this is just part of the cycle of trying to make changes. I hope everyone else is hanging in there too with their health goals. It's not easy guys, but we got this. ... Continue Reading...
Small Goals For February + Updates
Before we get to any new goals, let's take a look at how I did last month. January Goals: 1. Drink More Water/Less Soda: BIG ASS CHECK By the time I publish this, it'll probably be two full weeks since my last soda. But a total of three weeks with only one. And the water? I've been kicking ass and pretty much 12 cups of water a day. What really helped was buying a bigger water bottle. I grabbed one from Target (of course), that holds about 3 cups of water. It really helps since I'm not always having to get up from my desk to refill it. In the morning to help out with the soda craving, I just have a bottle of Bai. It's only 11 calories per bottle, still has caffeine, and 0 sugar. 2. The Gym: CHECK I've been averaging three times a week, with a few weeks only twice because of ... Continue Reading...
