Fitness: It doesn’t just happen.

Fitness: It doesn’t just happen.

So, in my journey to being healthy I have successfully kicked the habit of drinking soft drinks and sweet tea. Now my biggest battle is my junk food intake. I LOVE CANDY way too much, and I admit that. I am not willing to give up candy all together, but I do want to make a conscious effort to eat less candy. Also, I want to stop eating fast food as much. I hope to accomplish my goals of eating better by simply not allowing myself to buy as much junk food, and limiting myself to fast food to about once per week (when possible). This isn’t something that will be easy to accomplish, but I think that it is a necessary part of my next goal, which is to start exercising daily again! I already exercise several times a week, but not to the point that I would like to. Sure, I do walk almost every day (weather permitting), but walking is not all that your body needs to be healthy. You need to work your abdominal, arms, and various other parts of your body! I even think it is good to work on your flexibility! Do not settle on being average. Do not settle with letting your body go downhill and become gross and flabby and ewww… Yeah, that is how I sum it up. When you body is healthy, you are more likely to be mentally healthy in my opinion.

I know that my journey to fitness isn’t just going to happen overnight, but I know that only I can choose to live a healthy lifestyle and I am not willing to allow myself to fail.
