Hoping for healthy

Ask me anything   I'm 20 years old, and unsatisfied with my lack of a healthy lifestyle. I got to college and fell victim to the freshman fifteen, and I just haven't put in the effort to get my dream body. Until now. This blog is for motivation, workout ideas, healthy recipes, and fitness related things. Enjoy!

This is blowing my mind. I’m so used to downsizing what I’m eating because there’s so many calories in it… And there’s SO MUCH FOOD here. At 100 calories each. What have I been doing with myself?!

In addition to my normal work outs I will also do the 30 day squat challenge and the 8 minute abs video every day. 
Not to go into detail but my parents aren’t as supportive of my weight loss as one would hope, and my dad was like “if you do sit ups and stuff your tummy will just get bigger” which is BS. If I continue to work out combining strength training, toning and cardio my tummy will get SMALLER. Correct me if I’m wrong here guys? INFURIATING. Anyway, I’ll show him!
Anyone done this challenge? Any good?

this is definitely my june!

Woah

10 Healthy Habits to Nail this Week- Fit Sugar
Whether you aim to take on just a few, or you can knock ‘em all dead at once, here are 10 healthy habits to work towards this week. (And all year!)
Exercise for 150 minutes this week. Whether you work out for 50 minutes three times a week or exercise every weekday for 30 minutes, 150 minutes is the bare minimum experts recommend to maintain heart and body health. For how much you should be exercising to lose weight, read here.
Cook dinner every weeknight. Here’s a stay-on-track meal plan from nutritionist Cynthia Sass to help you plan your week.
Make a water goal to hit every day, and then meet it. Calculate how much water you should be drinking here.
Drink green tea. You’ll be boosting your metabolism and fighting disease with each mug.
Eat a healthy breakfast every day. Forgo the pastry display for one of these healthy breakfast recipe ideas.
Stretch. To improve flexibility and relieve aches, take three mornings this week to do a quick, gentle stretching sequence before you move on with your day.
Eat a salad for lunch every day. It’ll help with your weight-loss goals but will also help you get the nutrients you need to stay healthy. Here are 10 Winter salads to try.
Take a break. Take time to de-stress, and have fun a few days this week with these stress-relieving tips.
Say no to empty drink calories. At happy hour, stick to one (or no) low-calorie alcoholic drink, and order club soda or water for the rest of the time.
Get more sleep. Getting better sleep gives you more energy, boosts your immune system, and helps you lose weight. Aim for at least seven hours every night this week. Check out our 20 simple ways to get better sleep for help.


Great list. Terrific motivation.

#tips 

okayyyy so i was at a music festival (the one that i’ve been trying really hard to look good for) this weekend so i let loose and wasn’t focusing on my fitness which is fine because that’s what i was planning to do, but now that i’m back i’ve had trouble getting back into the groove of a healthy lifestyle. and it doesn’t help that this week is super busy school and work wise. but i’m going to fix that! i didn’t wake up as early as i wanted to today so i missed breakfast, but still going to work out and try to stick to my calorie limit. YAY
