Freshmen 15

My first blog post and I'm dedicating it all to the freshmen 15. Which, fortunately, I have yet to gain the entire fifteen pounds. However, I am getting closer and closer everyday! My mother is probably reading this and rolling her eyes but mom... IT'S TRUE! It is no myth that going to college will definitely pack on the pounds. Thankfully, I'm not a partier or who knows what my weight would be. What do I have to thank for my muffin tops? Carbs. See, they're cheap and they keep you full for hours... Well for me, more like an hour. Anyway, after seeing my stomach grow a little layer of fat on it, I decided to have an intervention with myself. The first thing I did was set up a plan. Don't be mistaken my avid readers, I am in no way trying to lose weight, I'm just toning my stomach. 

So here is the genius plan I have concocted!

1. I texted my mom asking for healthy recipes that I can afford and cook conveniently. 

2. Researched other snacks I could buy such as celery and peanut butter that aren't completely flavorless but at least don't make me feel totally guilty while eating them.

3. Found workouts that will target specifically the parts I am trying to improve.

4. Made a workout plan that I must follow that consists of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday workouts with the occasional cardio on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

5. And finally, one last night of eating fast food and drinking soda before I cut that out for a little. 

Tonight, I will be eating Jimmy Johns for the last time in a long time. I plan on keeping this blog updated frequently. I won't give specific times, but whenever you're bored just type in my URL and see what I'm up to. 

With Much Love,
