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!
I just recently moved to the beautiful city of Charleston to begin my newest adventure! With a city full of amazing food and drinks, I know I need to keep my fitness in check! 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.

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.
Remember: You're going to have great days, you're going to have bad days and then you're going to have days when you don't even want to go to the gym; and that's okay. Take a day off and get back at it tomorrow 100x harder! But above all things, if you have a goal and you have a dream.....
