i started off the beginning of this school year looking amazing. i was fit. yes, i did still have my problem areas. but i was so much more confident, and i felt amazing.

then i met a boy. a boy who is an athlete for my school, who works out just as much as me, but does not have the same eating habits as me. and then i fell into his trap. when we first started talking, we would casually snack around and make each other dinner. then things got serious, and it turned into him making me dinner every night. cheese, pasta, steak, beef, potatoes, etc. food i wasn’t use too. and instantly it all caught up on me, and it began to show. i stopped working out just to hangout with him, and the fat kept building up. i weighed myself last week, and since i started talking to him in october, i gained ten pounds. weight is nothing to me, it is all about looking good. but when it starts becoming highly noticeable that i have given up, thats when it becomes a problem.

i began to notice my increase about two weeks ago when i was changing in front of him. my favorite pair of jeans became snug on me. i never realized until that moment, how bad things really were.

ever since then, i have been working my ass off at the gym. yes, he still makes me dinner. but he realizes how i am feeling and makes meals somewhat healthier, and he helps me with portion control. and he even works out with me on occasion. i love it.

i want my summer body back, and i want to be able to feel fully confident in front of him. i got this.

this year started off right.

i am so happy with how i am already doing. seven days without soda, and eating so healthy! today was my first day back at the gym, and it felt SO good. even though i am still not use to the elevation. can’t wait to get back to it tomorrow.

could never be happier.

Honestly, getting fit is not rocket science…. workout, sleep and eat well! Sometimes people try to overcomplicate things and wind up becoming overwhelmed and just giving up.

Find a form of exercise you love and DO IT consistently

Eat a balanced diet consisting of lean protein, veggies, fruits and healthy fats.

Drink plenty of water.

Sleep at least 8 hours a night.

Be patient, stay positive, you’ll get there <3

And of course… I’ll be here to answer your questions if you happen to have any =)

All I need to work on is the sleep. I love White Collar too much! ;)
