How it all started..

OMG! My first blog! SO for those of you who know me know that I am such a health nut. I am majoring in nutrition and food sciences and work out almost everyday. But it hasnt always been that way...

Sooo looking back on my high school years.. I used to eat hot cheetoes everyday for lunch. Everyday. Like really? Ew. Where are the nutrients? GEEZ. If I knew then what I know now. I was also on the tennis team... I was a lazy player. I would never want to run. WOW. I run everyday now. Running is my form of therapy. I LOVE IT. I just want to put in my earphones, blast that music, and RUN forever. OK, not forever but you get it. Its the best escape. It really clears my mind and OH MAN THE RUNNERS HIGH AFTERWARDS IS AMAZING. I always feel so rejuvenated.

OK im getting off topic. Basically, I wasnt as active as I am now! It wasnt until my sophomore year of college that I became a gym rat. My freshman year... Im sure I gained the freshman 15! Definitely. I was enjoying all the delicious foods college had to offer. But I snapped out of it... and IM SO GLAD I DID. I used to feel so sluggish and depressed. When I started going to the gym on a regular basis, that is when my interest for nutrition came into play. I became interested in what foods to eat to maintain this healthy lifestyle. Once I entered the field of dietetics, I learned that foods I always thought was good for me...wasnt so good for me. Its all part of the journey. I will only continue to learn.

Right now I am focused on eating WHOLE foods and trying to limit my intake of processed foods as much as possible. I want to share this journey on my mission to becoming the best person I possibly can! I want to give it my all and put in my greatest effort to reach my fullest potential. I aspire to inspire others to live a healthy lifestyle.. That starts with me. I need to set the example. Not going to lie, I tend to slip up at times... when I get that certain craving.. But hey, I'm only human. I know that tomorrow is a new day. Im only going to get better as I progress. But as we all know, you only live once.. everything in moderation and portion control is key to cheat days.

As for my workouts, I love trying anything! As long as I'm staying active.. I love running, zumba, hiking, riding my bike, cycling class, boot camp, and my recent obsession PILATES! I love the feeling of toning and getting everything right and tight. I AM BEYOND SORE right now from boot camp class yesterday.. my instructor is SO INTENSE! I love her so much. She texted me saying "what no text from my little weiner telling me she almost died from class yesterday? I must be getting too easy.." UH NO! I AM SO SORE I CANT LIFT MY ARMS. But I LOVE that feeling. I have also been focusing more on weights and pilates over cardio... remember lifting weights=muscle. More muscle burns more calories throughout the day. Lift weights. Just do it.

Also, WHO HAS TRIED INSANITY? Insane right??? I feel so good once I finish the workout though. I want to try swimming...I want to take on a new activity. Random.. sorry.

OK IM DONE BLABBLING. Sorry this was way longer than I intended haha! oops! Until next time BeYOUtiful people! Love you!
