Lent Season

Hey,
Well I have found the perfect way to stay healthy. I gave up junk food for lent season and have not cracked yet. I have found that I have eaten less and of course, more healthy foods. It works for me because I feel as though if I mess up that it was yet another thing I hadn't been good at and have to say sorry yet again to God. So far, it has been working really well.
Cheers,
Abbie

Almost Weekend

Well, I had some tough times at working out this week. But, I have pulled through most of it and I am happy to say that I think I have been eating a bit better already. I have no plans for this weekend and I am hoping that I will be able to get a few runs in.

This weekend I want to cook a healthy dish. I think that I am going to attempt cooking tomorrow night for the family. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. :D

Do-Over

Do you ever wish that you could just do things over? Like wishing you could redo a conversation or hadn't sent that ladder(or more likely a text or email). I feel like there are so many things that I could have done differently in my life and I am not even an adult yet.

I don't want to have regrets in my life. So, I want to make sure that I live in the moment and that I don't let things pass me by. I glad that a lot of things have happened but there are things that I want to change. I don't think that it is ever too late.

Self Control

I have caved many times this week with my healthy eating regimen. It is so much more convenient to eat whatever is closest or whatever everyone else is eating. I did have some small successes this week but they did not outweigh my failures.

I have always been a person who is proud of my self control but eating healthy is something that is really hard for me. So my new goal is self control towards food. I will start again next week and just see where it will take me.

Happy Winter,
Abbie

Eating Healthy

Eating correctly is almost one of the hardest things to accomplish. I wish I could say that I do eat healthy, but I truly don't.

So, I am my goal for the next couple months is to eat healthier. I have already given up soda a couple weeks ago, and I want to do a lot more about my health. My plans is to slowly try and make mini goals each week. It will be interesting if I will be able to have any self control with my eating.

I have always been a really athletic person, but I have never really been thin, or lean. And I believe that the main reason to this was, 1) I am growing up and 2) I have never really been a healthy eater. After cross country this season I was actually beginning to become thin. It was amazing doing two sports at once and simply not having time to snack all day.

Now, after cross country I know have time to eat. So, this is my idea for not over eating. Just eating enough. We will see how far this takes me.

To good eating,
Abbie

Getting Back In Shape

After having a few months off after the cross country season (with the occasional run or soccer practice) I am starting to exercise again and it feels good. I have been going to conditioning for my soccer high school team. I also faced one of my fears on Monday, riding a bike. Now, I know how to ride a bike and everything, but I am afraid of them. I once fell into the street at a young age and it has scared me for life. My goal is to do a triathlon sometime in the next year or two, so it will take some getting used to. Even though the ride ended up with an uphill battle of a flat tire it was a lot of fun. I am happy to be exercising again and look forward to hopefully achieved goals.

I Don't Just Want to Ramble

Well, I am hoping eventually people will start reading this blog because it is interesting, not because I am just rambling (like I am now.) I won't this blog to have a purpose. I don't want to have a self-centered blog, talking about every little unimportant detail in my life. So, I will narrow things down. I will start projects and work my way through them. I will try to keep the layout of the blog interesting and fun. So I pray that people will tune in, and give me my old hobby back, writing.
Thanks,
Abbie
