When You Look Good, You Feel Good!

Hey Everybody!

 As women, we have all had that time where we look in the mirror and decide to change something about ourselves. Whether it is weight, hair, or make-up, we have all been guilty of wanting more or less of something. One day when I looked in the mirror I decided to change my body not only on the outside, but the inside as well. I decided to get healthy and in shape, so I started with a simple google search, "what is the appropriate weight for my height and age".

After reading the results I ran across an app known as CALORIE COUNTER, featured on Good Morning America. The app helps me to log my daily physical activity, food, and water. Each day I start with a total of 1400 calories, and log my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Than, I submit a daily report amongst my supporters, which is really cool because I get positive feedback from random people who want to see me achieve my weight loss goals. 

Not only do I have a support system with calorie count, I also earn points which can be redeemed for gift cards and coupons! In addition to counting my calories, I rearranged my eating habits. I switched from eating out to cooking more, which is less expensive. Also, I traded in processed foods for more organic and nutritious items. Last but not least, I started to get back in the gym! My favorite exercise is running so I run twice a week and picked up a motor skills course at school three times a week to stay fit!

Tip: Eating sugars, salts, and fats weighs your energy level down, making the statement true, "you are what you eat"!
