I am the girl sitting with friends at a restaurant that you overhear talking about fitness and exercise. As you listen you think, "This girl seems to know what she is talking about." So as you turn around and look to see where all this knowledge is coming from, you expect to see a thin, fit woman eating a salad and sipping on ice water with lemon... Instead you see a girl with a large diet coke, eating a burger and fries all while trying to hide her muffin top and flabby arms. What is wrong with this picture?!
I have always loved health, fitness, and nutrition, but yet I have no ambition to actually carry out what is necessary for a fit lifestyle. I love food and enjoy sitting on my tush doing nothing- plus I have every excuse in the book for why I dont need to work out. I am starting this blog to help hold myself accountable and maybe help some others along the way. Growing up I have always been active playing sports or running 5k races. Towards the end of high school I started working out less and less and eating worse and worse. As I entered college my eating habits got worse and I rarely worked out at all. This summer will mark five years being out of high school and what do I have to show for it other than a flabbier tush and Buddha belly?
I am committing to work out consistently 3-5 times per week with a mixture of cardio and strength training. I will document my success and struggles and hopefully in the next couple of months I will be firm, fit, and fabulous! For now I am going to go kick my tush on the elliptical and start this week off right! :)
Happy exercising!
