Working out is hard. When deciding on what to write about for my next article I thought this topic would help me start my workout routine. I was wrong.

I’ve probably worked out on my own three to four times in the past month despite the many weight loss goals I have.

I hate making excuses but I have to blame it on school. School takes up sooo much of my time. But last year at this time I stuck to my work out plan pretty well. Not only was I more motivated but I was doing it for the right reasons.

Right reasons are:

1. To help my overall wellbeing

    Because if I just work out to lose weight I might not always see results on the scale, which a lot of people say not to use unless you can also measure body fat and inches lost. But even if the scale doesn’t move just know you are contributing to a healthy mind body and spirit.

    2. To reach realistic goals

    Some people will work out to look like someone in a magazine instead of a leaner more toned version of themselves. Like for me, I’m short with natural big breast, hips, and thighs. It’s unrealistic for me to aim to be a super slim woman like Zendaya.

    3. Do it for you and nobody else

    Remember to keep your goals personal. Don’t let anyone get in your head about how much you should lose or what your goals should be unless it comes from a health professional.

    Hopefully, these tips will keep you motivated if not try these:

    1. Keep a fitness and food journal

    I type mine into my period tracking app for ease. And although I don’t count calories, I see how much of the food I ate was good or bad for my personal diet.

    2. Share your goals with others

    They will hold you accountable and may even be inspired enough to join you on their fitness journey.

    3. Write out your fitness plans and goals

    I make my colorful and fun to look at. I also put them in a place I look at often so I never lose focus.

    Fitness is hard! But it can be a lot of fun and even more rewarding. And if nothing else works, find a workout bae like the couple in the cover photo ;)

    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.
