A little bit about me :)

I know what you’re all probably thinking,” Great another fitness blog from another health nut.”  In fact, I’m the farthest thing from being a health nut. I’m just an average girl who enjoys working out, being active outdoors, and still eats pizza, wings, and beer every Sunday when my Buffalo Bills play!   As a full time medical student, taking 19 credit hours, residing as president over my program at school and working two jobs, I understand the feeling like there aren’t enough hours in the day! I decided to start writing a blog in an effort to help keep myself on track through my last semester of college (my most stressful semester as I prepare to take my national  MA certification exam.)  I felt that if I recorded my workouts everyday and made myself vulnerable to all of society, I would be more motivated in the gym because I would then be responsible for the workouts posted on my page. YOU ALL hold me accountable. Hopefully, this blog will also help some of you who are struggling to meet your fitness goals or just need to spice up your workout.  I have always been active in lifting and running and naturally athletic. I played lacrosse in both high school and college on school and travel teams, however, I have come to the realization that I am not active as I once was and I can no longer eat the way I once did.

To give you a little bit of a background on my stats they are as follows starting 10/28/14:

Body Type: Mesomorph click here to learn your body type!

Height: 5’4 ¼      Weight: 142.0 lbs      Shoulder: 41 ¾    Chest: 36 ½         Left arm: 12 1/8                               

Right Arm: 12     Right thigh: 21         Left thigh: 21 ½                 Belly button: 31

Hips: 38               Body Fat: 24.3%            BMI 24.4%

 If you are considering starting a new fitness regimen I highly encourage you to take pictures of your body and/or measurements of body parts prior to starting. Also consider keeping a log of the exercise, weight and reps that you have completed each day.  When you see the numbers increasing throughout the weeks, you are more likely to be motivated in your workouts and your results will reflect that!  Fitness is a slow process. It took more than a day to put it on, it will take more than a day to take it off. With this being said: Don’t weigh yourself every day- when the numbers don’t move it can be discouraging. Also remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Be more concerned with your BF and BMI than your actual weight. In the words of Troy Bolton “We’re all in this together.”♫
Now let’s get moving!
