12 Thoughts That Go Through Your Mind When Trying To Embrace A Healthy Lifestyle

Many of us have had that wake-up call where we realized we are not as in shape as we used to be. It then becomes apparent that we need to make some changes in our diet and exercise routine...which may mean actually having a diet and exercise routine.

Here are some thoughts that might go through your head when you are trying to get back into living a healthier lifestyle:


1. I'm gonna eat a salad...that's healthy right?

*Covers salad in a ton of fattening ranch*

2. I'm going to cut pop out of my diet and drink La Croix instead. 

*Realizes you would rather drink water all the time than drink another La Croix again*

3. Why can't my metabolism work in my favor for a change?

Why can some people eat literally everything under the sun and not gain a pound, yet I gain like 10 pounds just looking at pizza?

4. Meal prep is a wonderful thing!

Dough, cheese, pepperoni, and veggies? Sounds like a well-balanced meal to me!

5. I think I am already starting to look thinner!

*Started diet like 24 hours ago*

6. Can you burn calories during a nap?

All that contemplation about going to the gym now has me super tired!

7. Today is the day I am going to go to the gym.

*Thinks about the day ahead* Hmm maybe tomorrow.

8. When you actually get to the gym and feel like a boss just for being there.

Look at me, look at me getting all fit!

9. *Just had the best workout ever.*

Time to celebrate that workout with some Taco Bell!

10. Can God just make me skinny already?

Pretty please?!

11. Realizing almost all the food you love is full of carbs.

Is there any food that tastes good that doesn't have carbs?!

12. *Lost 5 pounds last week.  Loses nothing this week.*  This healthy lifestyle thing is a bunch of crap!!!

The scale must be malfunctioning!!!

The road to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is rough at times. It is very hard to get back into the swing of things, but don't let the negative and counterproductive thoughts convince you to give up. Keep making strides to get that healthy body you've been aiming for!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
