I'm normally not too good at keeping up with a blog. I have promised myself that I will be better this time because it is important to me so I can track my progress, meet people, and give/get advice and ideas.
I just turned 23.. It wasn't the easiest birthday, that's for sure! It seemed like just another day this year.
My goal for the next year is to really improve my body. I've ran for 4 years and I enjoy running A LOT. In May, I started doing the arm machines at the gym. Within a week, I was starting to tell a difference in the shape of my arms and I loved it. Since then, I've tried to get an arm workout in 3 to 4 times a week and I've noticed a dramatic difference. I used to be one of those girls who wanted to be thin. Now, that won't work for me.. I want to be built. I think toned girls are pretty and they work for their body. A few weeks ago I started my clean eating and yes, I have splurged here and there. The first 2 days were difficult and I just had to keep telling myself that if I could get over that hump then I would be fine and I would begin to feel better and have more energy. After a week and a half, clean eating doesn't feel like a challenge anymore. I actually enjoy the fact that I get to have 5-6 meals per day. I look forward to the soreness that I have the day after a workout. I enjoy trying new things at the gym and experimenting with the weights and equipment. I feel like through blogging, I can get ideas about workouts, recipes, etc. as well as share my ideas and my story with everyone else. I feel as if blogging will give me a support system and keep me on track. : )
