So this is my first blog post... EVER. So don't judge my blogging skills... I'm working on them. =]
Well, Fitclick, here it goes. I've been a yo-yo dieter since middle school. I guess I'm a yo-yo gym-goer as well. Although I've struggled with my weight as long as I can remember, I accomplished a healthy weight loss just before graduating from high school. Congrats me right? Nope.
Everyone knows the freshman 15 you gain in college... while some like myself... faced the freshman 30. With my weight constantly fluctuating for the past four years... I've decided it's time for that to end.
As of May 25th, 2011 I've officially graduated from Stony Brook and finally earned my bachelors. As proud as I am of myself, I feel I've neglected my body the entire four years (between not eating right, not exercising, and not sleeping). Each time I gained back the weight I've lost I feel like I've failed, and let myself down. Every promise I make I keep... yet I've been unable to keep my promise to myself... to be a healthy... strong.. independent woman with the willpower to accomplish anything. The main issue being my weight.
Long story short... I'm going to attempt to make myself stronger both inside and out. I want the willpower to say "no," or to get up early and hit the gym, or to get up after a long day of working, classes, and studying and push myself to face the treadmill.
Well you know what? I WILL do it. I will get slimmer, healthier, sexier... and STRONGER. I can conquer anything. Atleast that's what I'll be telling myself starting TODAY. =]
If there's anyone willing to take this journey with me... please do. I could use all the motivation I can get. And of course, I will do the same. =]
Here goes nothing. And everything.
