Why am I doing this?

Well, here I am. I never thought in my entire life that I would write a blog, but a certain Debbi Lowther has inspired me to write one! (Shout out to Debbi Lowther, author of http://exerciseschmexercise.blogspot.com/)

This blog is to keep me accountable as I work towards a more fit lifestyle! I may be skinny, but I am definitely not toned. I used to work out regularly and I remember feeling great about myself during that time! But then there will be that one day where I refuse to exercise, which then leads to two days...then three days....a week...and then a month. My goal is to work out at least 5 days a week, at least an hour a day!

I'm a lover of food. Every time I think, "I want a flat stomach.. and some toned arms and back.. I can exercise regularly! That'll fix it!" it usually leads to, "Oh wait... I have to change my diet too? NO WAY! What about my tacos and in 'n out??" I'm not planning on changing my diet too drastically where I'm eating oatmeal in the mornings and fish and brown rice for dinner. Instead, I'm going to try and cut down sweets, like candy and dessert...and yes...donuts, and microwave foods (good-bye chicken nuggets, hot pockets, and Costco chicken bakes) to a minimum and focus more on fresh produce and not-as-processed foods.

My friends tell me that I say, "Do it," whenever I try and encourage them to..well..do something, so that's the theme for my blog. I understand that it is Nike's motto; I'm not stealing it from them... I'm just borrowing it. It is and will be my inspiration as I try and work towards a toned body!

Stay tuned!
