Healthy Body, Happy Life !


When it comes to procrastinating, Hello ! I am your queen. There is always something I want to do but never really get around to it. Lately, it has been eating healthy and getting in shape. Round is a shape, but that is not the shape I had in mind.  To be honest with you, I HATE working out. I don't like having to get off my butt while I'm watching Greys Anatomy to go run and workout. I always come up with an excuse on why I can't go.

Every time I tell myself I'm going to start eating healthy and exercising, I'm 2 days in and then it's over. Its like a relationship that never works.

I would love to be able to go into it 100 percent and actually make a change for a healthier better me. Its difficulty but I know its possible.

I went to run about 2 days ago and my body just gave up. i felt nauseous, light headed and out of breath. Because of this I know that I need to get myself checked with my doctor. I feel like my body is slowing down on me , I feel lazier and I catch myself getting tired easily. This isn't the way I want to keep living my life. 

About 5 years ago, I found out I had a stomach ulcer. This changed my life in a big way. For those of you who don't know; A peptic ulcer is basically an open painful wound that you get in between your breast bone and your bellybutton. Bacteria enters your body in a way, resulting in acid thinning your stomach lining which then leads to the painful sores that form inside. It becomes burning pain, makes me feel nauseous , a lot of chest pain and it gets harder to eat . but it only goes away by eating by making the acid go back down.
Its so weird.

This is one of the main reasons why I need to change what goes into my body, the pain sucks.
At 162lbs, it's the most I have ever weighed and I never thought I would let myself get to this point.  Now there isn't anything else to do than just go for it. ! Be healthy, no more ulcer, feel better about myself and even have a better attitude. How nice would it be to go to the beach and not feel awkward all covered up?  

Before i start anything though, I need to go get a physical to tell me where I'm at. I feel like this way I will be able to pay more attention to specific things that are being a problem with my body right now. Until then, I will be eating as healthy as possible until my physical so I can really start kicking butt. For now , taking walks and jogs around the park

I want to try and get a workout schedule started, 3 or 4 times a week. On the side, eat green and eat completely healthy. I usually like to go run at the Silver Lake reservoir, a lap is 2.2 miles and its a beautiful place to go run. Set a playlist on my iPod with my favorite work out music and run. After I run, I feel so good and I feel like I can go out and do anything. It's so refreshing. 

My goal weight? to be honest. Nothing specific. I just want to be in good health and wear my clothes and feel amazing in it.  I will start on my journey very soon, and if ANY of you want to join me, I will be keeping the blog posted with my progress and with things like my grocery hauls, work outs and pictures :] 

Healthy Body, Happy Life !
