I am so sick of hearing "Girl please, you do NOT need to work out!" Did I say I wanted/needed to lose weight? Who told you to tell ME what I need to do? Business...get you some!!!
Truth is, I have very poor eating habits and I do not exercise regularly. It's so embarrassing to huff and puff while walking across campus. That my friend, is a problem. And if you don't think it is, you need some sort of evaluation. Sometimes I want to kick myself because I will make a "committment" to a healthier lifestyle...but then I fall off. Ughhh doesn't that suck? Why is it so hard?? Because I've been eating this way for 25 years! Change.Is.Not.Easy.....but it's worth it. There is no reason I should weigh 113lbs but feel like I weigh 213; that's awful. I refuse to be 30 with hypertension. I refuse to be 30 with diabetes. I refuse to be [un]healthy. Granted there are some situations that are beyond my control. But, I will do my part to ensure that I lead a healthier lifestyle. Social media/blogger friends please hold me accountable!
Yesterday, I said goodbye to my BFF, Dr. Pepper. We've been seeing each other for quite some time. Oftentimes, multiple times a day...that's awful..I know. I'm not saying that we are getting a divorce, but we are officially separated. DP is physically damaging my body...I just can't take it anymore. Please know, I miss you and I'll always love you!
Ok, back to reality! I went grocery shopping yesterday and made a few modifications. Here's a list of a few things I bought:
Bananas
Oikos Greek Yogurt
Grapes
Spinach
Green Tea
A variety of hot teas
WATER
Tilapia
Chicken
VEGGIES and more but this is just a small list. Now I have no choice but to eat healthy because that's all I bought. So cheers to my Thursday morning breakfast. My sister also encouraged me to create an account with My Fitness Pal. You can literally track every meal of the day. It's pretty cool..unless you have OCD like me. Thanks Keech, now I'll be obsessing over ever single calorie. Nonetheless, you should give it a try.
Are you leading a healthy lifestyle? Have you recently made major changes to your diet? If so, please leave a comment. I'm always looking for new recipes, etc.

Hey girly! Me and James have been working out in the mornings before work: light to medium cardio and strength training. I haven't made drastic changes to my diet because I don't have the nerve to let my favorite things go. But I'm back on multivitamins, drinking more water and less pop (trying SO hard). It feels good to have more energy in the mornings and I love seeing my muscles transform and tone up. It takes serious discipline and I'm serious about preparing my body for pregnancy...whenever that happens. Good luck!
