Welcome to My Fitness Blog!

Welcome to my fitness blog. Here I will post my daily exercise, and diet. I'm still kind of a beginner with exercise and healthy eating so feel free to give me some exercise routines and healthy food recipes. So yeah I hope this helps inspire others to get fit, and eat healthy. I don't eat 100% healthy since I'm not the one who cooks dinner, but I try to eat the best I can.

Some basics about me:

Weight: (going to keep this to myself for now. I will reveal my start weight when I lose the weight I want off)

Height: 5'6"

Age: 19

Body type: curvy. I'm not really fat I just need to lose about 20lbs and tone up.

Goal per Month: to lose at least 5 pounds or 10lbs if possible

Long Term Goal(s) To lose about 20-40 lbs, and to learn to eat healthy, and stay fit for the rest of my life.

Let me explain my approach to losing this weight.

Basically my approach is to stop drinking soda, and other sugary drinks. I have replaced them with water, and crystal light. I also try to eat more veggies and fruits for snacks rather than potato chips, and cookies. I also try to watch how much I eat as well. I use a small plate at dinner now rather than a big one so that I can control how much I eat easier. I try to take my time at all my meals, and try to eat them at a table as well. & of course I am starting to incorporate exercise into my daily life as well.

Now let me explain how I gained the weight.

I used to drink 4-5 cans of soda a day, which is what I believe has caused me to gain unwanted weight. I combined that with a lack of exercise as well, which may I say, is not a good combo! I also was eating very unhealthy foods constantly such as cookies, chips, sugary filled fruit snacks etc. I snacked so much because I am bored now that I have graduated from school, and have nothing to do (I have, however been trying to find a job)

So one day I woke up a realized I wasn't very happy with my body anymore. I went from a size 5 to a size 11 (juniors) in what seemed like a year. Yes I have never been stick thin or model thin, but I did look pretty damn good. I have always had a flat stomach. The only issues I have always had is slightly large (curvy) thighs, and I do have a butt ladies lol But I still looked very attractive and fit. I personally think I had perfect proportions. Well now I kind of have a pouch on my tummy. My thighs haven't really changed, nor my butt, and my arms have lost some of it's definition as well. & this all happened because I stopped being active. I used to walk everyday because I kind of had to. & I used to have gym everyday as a Senior. So basically my eating just got out of control, and my exercise was non existent.

Now for my goal.

So my goal is to tone my abs up, my arms, and my overall body. I would love to be back at a size 5. But I would like to aim for a size 3. I also want to learn to choose healthy foods over bad foods, and stay fit for life.

I've never been big on exercise my whole life. In fact I rarely ever did. So I must have a slightly fast metabolism. Like I said I don't look overweight I just look like I'm not toned.

So follow me on my fitness journey! I will try to post pictures from the start to the end of my goal. Thanks for reading! I hope you follow me and comment!
