Here we go. . .for reals this time!!!
Well hello world!!!
Before when I wrote I didn't have much to say but now I DO!!! So lets start CRACKING!!!
Summers are always such a big time for me. I feel like I am always changing and growing but the last two summers have really been my MAJIOR growing points. This summer I have striven to continue that tradition. So far this summer I have learned a whole lot about health. Mostly physical but mentally and emotionally too. So today I would like to share a few things I have learned on this subject.
1. There are tons of weight loss diets and secrets and work outs that may or may not make you skinny. How do you know what one is right for you? I am here to tell you that quick fixes are never the answer . You want to know the big secret? Eating healthy and working out!!! It is hard work to go on a diet for 30 days but then what . . . you just go strait back to your old ways and bring it all back. " Its tough to go on a diet but harder to change a lifestyle." So which will you choose?
2. Guess what, NO TWO BODYS ARE ALIKE !!! Not every meal plan that helps someone get skinny is going to work for you!!! Everyones body reacts to food differently. You have to find what works for you. Find your notch, your space for what works and what doesn't for your body. It takes a lot of experimenting and researching, but you have to do it yourself I cant do it for you. For example I was eating healthy and working out all summer with no results. . . I was getting frustrated but then I was researching and found this book The Metabolism Miracle. This book has changed my life! I realized why so many things about myself had changed after I went to collage, and I am on the road to bringing ME back. I suggest you look it over, but remember everyones body is different!!! I had to go through Jillian Michaels work out, to calorie budgeting and circuit training and meal planing and timed eating before I found what worked for me! So go experiment and find what your body likes!
3. Dont get on the scale every day or even every week it will just get you down and frustrated try every month. I am on a mission to not look at a scale for 8 weeks and it is kind of really hard, BUT now I focus on how much better I FEEL and how much better my body FEELS then what a stupid number tells me how I feel. FOCAUS ON THE GOOD THATS HAPPENING INSIDE YOUR BODY, OUT SIDES WILL COME AFTER YOU FEEL PRETTY INSIDE!!!
4. That brings me to learning point 4! "Endorphins make you happy, happy people don't go around killing their husbands." Name that movie!!! But really when you are happy, happiness will surround you. So do things that make you happy!!! Make a bucket list of things you would like to do before the summer is over and do them!!! Some examples from my summer are Cliff jumping, water rafting, EFY councilor, play at the lake, go boating, go hiking, learn how to play sports better ( I learned how to throw a football!!!), Travel, become a bike ridder, learn to stop and enjoy the little details in life, become a frequent volunteer at an animal shelter, get organized, become a better blogger!!! and the list goes on and on!!! " but Ashley I don't have time in my life to do all those things." WELL MAKE TIME BECAUSE YOU ONLY LIVE THIS LIFE ONCE SO GO AT IT FULL THROTTLE !!!
These are just a few of the things I have learned about health but they have changed my life! I love growing and learning new things and I am excited to share all that I learn about life with you on my blog! HOLLER!!! !
