Well, sometime over summer, I became obsessed. Totally obsessed with working out. I don't really remember when it happened but all the sudden, my life was full of nannying and exercising. I would go to the YMCA like every day and run about 3 miles, depending on the day. Part of it was influencing from my extra healthy roommate (and her posts on Tumblr) and other was talking to Cortney, we said we were going to motivate each other. I didn't really eat healthy but I was working off.
Well, in August, I decided I was going to work out every single day except for Sundays.....my plan was good until the week I left to come up for school.
However, the day that my family left, I told
myself, I gotta do this. Running is a release for me, it really makes me happy and feel better about myself. I might not be the best at it but it's just all about me when I run.
Anyway, I've been pretty consistent at working out at least everyday. I've missed two days, hiked for one and walked around Provo for the other. I also have given my hand at lifting weights. I'm by no means amazing (I can bench press 50 lbs....still got a ways to go...) but I LOVE it. I get such a high from it, I'm obsessing. In fact, I haven't lifted today and even though I'm exhausted, I feel incomplete by not going!!!!!! Ah!
So...onto the bragging....since coming up to Utah, I have officially lost 10 lbs! I might not look it but I feel accomplished!!!! I love the new me. The only "junk food" I own right now is nutulla, one 1/2 pint of ice cream, and tortilla chips. No more Nilla Wafers w/ frosting like last year! I'm not perfect by any means, but I love eating healthy. Fruit is the BEST, eat it!! I love it. I love being healthy. Ahhh! :)
We'll see what happens in the near future but for now, I'm doing pretty well :) I STRONGLY encourage any of you who are unhappy with their life right now to just start working out. It doesn't have to be hard. Even like a 10 minute run makes a difference. Even 10 crunches! I promise you'll feel better about yourself. <3
