So I've started to focus a lot more attention on what I'm putting in my body. I've gained some weight over the last 3 years in University, stress, family issues (freshman 15 my ass) and it's now really taking a toll on my self esteem, my mood and life in general. So like everybody else, my New Years resolution was to get in shape, get a healthy lifestyle habit and lose 30lbs+. Already this year, just by drinking more water and cutting down on processed foods, I have lost about 8 pounds, and that was without really trying. I discovered a few things that really work for me, and I'm sticking to it. I can honestly say, I am really working hard at this!
