The story of my life. There is NEVER a good time to plunge into a healthy lifestyle. It takes a lot for me to jumpstart a health kick. It takes even more for me to stay on it. The second I start to compromise it is a lost cause.
It typically takes an upcoming event of some sort to motivate me to attempt and find my personal best reflection. I have a feeling that class reunions, weddings, and perhaps family vacations to the tropics will all motivate me in the future.
For now, I am going into my senior year of college at The University of Oklahoma, and have slipped for far too long. My last health kick came in the beginning of football season, it lasted until I found myself at the first tailgate, and then all bets were off!
How cliche college girl can I get? Here goes--I am motivated right now for my final sorority rush season. There, I said it. Being able to look decent when I am going out and sitting on a boat at the lake in a swim suite are just bonuses at this point.
I started telling myself that this summer was going to be the ultimate overall wellness...marathon, if you will... since February, and from that point allowed myself to eat (and drink) whatever I wanted. I have a long way to go.
Every health kick starts with a trip to Target. Buying healthy foods, maybe a few workout outfits, and in my case some teeth whitening all serve as my foundation. The satisfaction came when it came time to check out--as I ran my credit card, I convinced myself that dad would be happy to pay for this, after all, it is for my summer wellness.
I have decided to blog in hopes of keeping myself accountable and in order to have someone to vent to as I face frustrations. I will always be honest. If I fall off the bandwagon, I will tell you all about it!
Maybe no one will ever read this, maybe it will be motivation for someone else to jump on the healthy bandwagon, maybe I'll actually be happy with my reflection when this is all said and done? Only time will tell
With everything lined up for my ultimate summer of cleansing, I am as ready as ever to start my diet... tomorrow. But really, I'll start tomorrow.
Heres to You, Reflection... and good luck; you're gonna need it!
