Healthy Start to a Healthy You

Healthy start to a healthy you is a saying that just recently stuck to me. I've come to realize as I've gotten older, I've noticed some changes with body. When I first met my boyfriend 5 years ago I weighed about 110 lbs. Now I weigh around 130 lbs. I know to some people that isn't a lot but when I used to be physically active with dance, cheerleading, and volleyball - it's become a lot to me. In those years I stopped all those activities and ate with the mind set that I still have a fast metabolism. Well now the food is really catching up to me.

I am now starting to really watch what I eat and no, I'm not going on a diet. I'm cutting out soda, sweets, and fast food. After doing much research on what I should be putting into my diet, I came up with a schedule of when I should eat. This may come in handy for anyone who is interested in being healthier. The day will consist of - Morning: Breakfast (9am) Afternoon: Lunch (12pm) Mid Day: Snack (2:30pm) Evening: Dinner (5pm) and Late night Snack (7pm).

Now you can't lose the weight without exercising so during my days I will either take a walk or use the Wii Fit. However, I am really interested in buying a ab pro circle because I heard it's really fun and easy to do. Or maybe buy an elliptical because I don't want to pay for a gym member ship because it was a waste of money because I never went. I also can't follow workout videos because I get bored and give up!

It's been almost 3 days since I started my healthy start to a healthy me and I feel great already, let's just hope I keep up with the hard work because I need to prepare for swimwear in my pageants!!! :)
