fitness journey...

Senior year of college did not start off as nicely as I wanted it to. I fact I hated it at first. I came into senior year with a very unsettling feeling. I like the sense of control, and when I don't have it, I'm uncomfortable. I did not have control of how my year would be. Everyone says how amazing college is, and so far it's been pretty good. I came off of an amazing semester abroad that I will never forget, but how am I supposed to top that? But now what, what am I supposed to do when I graduate? Up until now, there has been a set path of life that I was supposed to take. Now I am at the unknown. 

my tabata workout...

why don't they like to lift...
Doing cardio at the gym is no problem for me and I don't have an issue going into the weights side if the gym and lifting either. But after talking with some of my friends they all have the same fear of going onto the "boys side" of the gym and lifting. After thinking about it, there is an intimidation factor of going and lifting where the guys are. 

working out doesn't have to suck...

So, who else made a new years resolution to get in shape in 2014? I know I did, I knew with swimming coming to an end, I knew as much as I wanted to keep eating anything I wanted to, it was unrealistic unless I wanted to be about a thousand pounds overweight. To be totally honest, I am of average height and average weight I'm five and a half feet tall and started my journey at 133 pounds, I do not NEED to loose weight, but my body is one thing I can control. Coming into a time of life where I have very little control over things like, what grades I'll get, what guys like me, who will hire me, oh and that future thing I like ignoring, I can control my body.
