Getting Control of my Health

Okay, so part of me becoming the best version of myself requires taking better care of my health.(eww...) I won't lie, the current state I am in right now is the most unhealthy I have ever been. I am at my heaviest weight and I could probably stand to throw a salad in every now and then. I will say that I am guilty of becoming comfortable in my current relationship and I have put on a few pounds knowing that it wouldn't matter.

This all changes today! (so I hope) For me, I am no stranger to fitness. I have always been able to go a while without working out and kind of pick up where I left off. I have tried (and failed) countless fitness plans claiming "this time will be different." I could never actually put my finger on why I was never able to actually commit to one measly 12 week plan. Then it finally clicked!

The working out area was never the problem for me. I can always get up and force myself to pump out a 30 minute workout but, I could never manage to make the meal plan work for me. I'm sorry... I know many people have tried the plans that I have and had amazing, life changing results. I, however, can not sit there and meal prep for a whole day and follow that plan exactly day after day. I CAN'T! I hate it. I also have a few questions for the people that can...

How do you not get bored of eating the same thing everyday?

Does someone do your grocery shopping for you?

How can you stand there for hours prepping your meals once a week... and how do you fit all of those meals into your fridge after?

I know... I know. A lot of people would answer those questions with simple answers but, I just can't do it. All of this being said I am going to be trying something a little bit different with my plan.

My plan will be heavily focused on maintaining a very strict workout plan while giving healthier food recommendations. For me it is all about balance. I am not going to stick to an only grilled chicken and veggie diet but, I am also not going to just eat whatever the hell I want. Throughout this blog I will be showing you my workouts and sort of changing my mind on what eating healthy really means. Meaning we will both be learning how to reach for healthier options while still occasionally indulging in things that we love.

Oh and did I mention my first month will all be AT HOME WORKOUTS?!!? You heard it right! One month of workouts we can do all in the comfort of our own home!

Let's begin the journey together and hope and pray that we make it out alive!

XOXO, Jenn

Here's to new beginnings...

Hey all!

I know what you're thinking.. here's another NEW YEAR, NEW ME post! Before you go down that path I would like to say NO... and yes! While not completely going into the whole New Year's resolution craze, I have decided to make some changes in my life. 

First and foremost, I have decided to restart my blog... but with a new direction. When this blog first started I was heavily focused on beauty and becoming this overnight blog sensation (not a tall order right?) This year I thought I would focus on something a little more manageable (at least in my eyes.) My new blog will be focused on anything and everything you need to be the best version of yourself.

Which brings me to my New Year's resolution... (I'm sure you can guess)

BECOMING THE BEST VERSION OF MYSELF! 

This is totally open to your interpretation. For me it means not buying into everything that I used to just because I was told I should. Or, not doing things that I don't enjoy. Basically, it means I will be focusing on getting fit, making healthier choices, and working on self development; all while enjoying the little things in life. 

Throughout this blog, I will be taking you on the journey with me (it's going to be a wild ride.) You'll be getting a front row seat to my triumphs and complete failures and I challenge you to join me. Who knows, maybe we'll end up being those people that wake up early, eat healthy, help others, and enjoy life or; we'll stay our same tired, stubborn, self centered selves... Only time will tell.

XOXO, Jenn
