Hello everyone! So I am creating this blog because like millions of people in the world I have made it my new years resolution to loose weight, get healthy and get fit again. I can honestly say that I love my body and I love the way I look. However I am sick and tired of running out of energy. I've notice that there are things I do that before I could do without a sweat and now I feel like it is just so hard. I miss being fit and able to do things like, walk up three flights of stairs, and not get winded.
All my life I've been an athlete. I have been swimming from the ripe age of born, my father was a swim coach so I pretty much could swim before I could walk. I started competitive swimming at the age of six and continued for thirteen years. Once I started high school my swimming became more grueling, I was in the pool any where from 18-30hrs a week, dry land/cardio anywhere from10-20hrs. I was as fit as I ever was in my life, I weighed 150lbs and was a size 5 jean, it was amazing. During this time I was given the nickname "She-ra" and did I live up to it.
That was two years ago, I am now a sophomore in college. I have not weighed myself but I have gone up to a size 8 in jeans. There are things I could do without, love handles, my arms are a little more jiggly then they were and overall I just feel drained all the time.
So here is what I am going to do about it. I am going to work out, at least 4 to 5 times a week. I am going to watch what I eat and how much I eat. Overall I am going to have fun with this, however the outcome I am going to love my body no matter what. So follow me as I update once a week with my progression and how I am doing!
