Hello Everyone!
I know it’s been a super long time since I’ve last
written on this blog, mainly due to the craziness of my first year of college,
but also because I started a separate blog for an English class and didn’t want to be writing on two different sites! Anyway, I’ve decided to resurrect this
blog and use it as accountability for a new challenge I’ve given myself, while
also getting back to writing and documenting my life a little bit! So here it goes!
Making sure to stay healthy is extremely important
for everyone, but since I am a dance major in school and dance is a huge part
of my life, it is even more necessary to take care of
myself, so that I am staying healthy and strong. During the school year, this was the
least of my concerns. With the
workload of two majors, working right after my classes, and a million other responsibilities, eating right
was not a priority. I have begun to
notice, especially now that school is over, that I’ve definitely gained close
to the "freshman 15" and I do not feel well a lot of the time. (I do have some health issues that I have no control over, which may be a big factor in not feeling the greatest, but I do know that I would feel a lot better if I made healthier choices.) I am performing in Hershey,
PA in less than a month and swimsuit season is just around the corner, so I need to
start making some changes so that I can look and feel my best! I wanted to find a way
to shed some weight quickly in the safest and healthiest way possible, so after
doing some Pinterest and Google research, I came across the “Eat Your Heart Out
– Lose 10 pounds in 7 Days” challenge!
Well, technically it’s a diet, but I’d rather use the word challenge
because I feel as though diets never really work out for me and my competitive side will be more willing beat a challenge than stick to a diet (haha). This is a doctor and dietician approved
weight loss system that limits you to a strict list of foods that I will eat each day for the week, and the best thing is that I can eat as much of these foods as I feel my body needs – so no need to starve! I have read many reviews to see if this is just a gimmick, but almost everyone who has tried it says that they lost weight,
felt better, and had clearer skin after following this plan, so I, along with
my sister, Abigail are trying it out!
Every day I will stick to the plan, workout, and share about my day and my progress with you in this blog. I will also take a picture of my body on the first and last days of the challenge to see if there are
any changes from start to finish!
This is what the diet will look like (taken off of
Pinterest):
Here’s to starting good habits, getting healthier,
and accomplishing goals!
