The Bounce Back



It is amazing how our bodies want to be healthy.  Within a matter of two weeks, my body was already bouncing back to where it was before I succumbed to the temptation of drive thrus and take out.  And, I haven’t stayed 100% clean because those cravings will sneak up and before I know it, one cookie turns into five. I knew I needed to find a balance this time, so to navigate through those cravings I try to find ways to eat healthy snacks that curb my craving, or go in for that one cookie and stop there.  My favorite go to these days are Lara Bars.  They have all natural ingredients and foods that you recognize and know what they are.

The other thing that has helped me tremendously is having someone around to be accountable to.  My boyfriend and I have made the conscious decision to make a lifestyle change in becoming overall healthier people, both inside and out.  Having someone there to remind you of why you want to be healthier and what your goals are is amazing motivation to push forward. There’s a reason why programs such as Weight Watcher and Jenny Craig are successful, because you are accountable to someone when you fully participate.

So, how do I feel since the reboot?  I feel I have much more energy, I am back in a better mood, and I have noticed I can be more productive in a day.  I’ve snagged up a membership to the recreation center in my town and have been working out on average 2x a week.  I have reached my primary goal in weight and now am focusing on building a stronger healthier me.  My next goals are to improve my balance and strength throughout.
