Hey everyone,
So I have had my ups and downs with dieting, GYM's, counting calories, counting carbs, and all that jazz. One of the quickest things I've learned about changing what I put in my body and my health is that there are SO MANY FREAKIN WAYS TO DIET!!!
Do this, do that, watch this, watch that, eat this, don't eat THAT, that'll give you cancer, that'll turn to fat, etc. I think you get what I'm saying.
Overall, I do want to be healthy. I care about myself and I want to live a long healthy life. But I do not see myself as a "health nut". It's already hard enough to look at food as numbers. I think starting off in the direction of eating this carrot at dinner is better than eating that mozzarella stick instead. Looking at things in the sense of, well that salad is 300 calories, and that ranch is another 200 calories and the croutons add another 50 calories and I had a glass of milk, wait, how many couples of milk did I have?!?!? There's so much! But I think if I can at least make the turn to choose the "healthier" item over that "bad" item I think I'll be on the right track.
Now I know there's some of you out there that have no problem doing the whole calorie counter thing, so don't be goin and wiggin on me cause more than likely you've been doing it for more than a couple days. Making a change takes time. You don't just cut out everything over night. I've learned the hard way (many times) and it's easy to fail that way.
My purpose in this "health" blog isn't so much to really teach anyone anything, because honestly, I have soooooo much to learn about what goes in my body, what foods affect it and how to live a healthier and happier life. I want this blog to be a continuous thing for me. Hopefully by sharing my struggles and what I am going through it'll keep me more accountable and motivated to staying on track.
ANY and ALL encouragement, notes, tips are accepted ;)
So here's what I want to start with. This is a new running schedule I want to start doing. It's a 12 week plan and adds a little to it each day/week. My goal is to blog AT LEAST twice a week (on the rest/recovery days). For those of you who know me, you know that I DESPISE running and/or jogging so this will be a big challenge for me. Here is the plan:
