Hi there! I was never that girl who was super into healthy
eating, working out, and simply being good to my body… until now. I didn’t grow
up in a household that promoted that very much. It wasn’t a big thing for my
parents because growing up, getting enough food to eat was already an
accomplishment, so that didn’t leave much room for being picky, which is
unfortunately the downside of trying to lead a healthier lifestyle – it can get
expensive.
I got into working out multiple times last year starting in
February, but they were really short bursts of enthusiasm that got interrupted
by big life things, making it extremely hard to continue. Just before school
started again after my big trip to Vietnam, I made an effort to eat much healthier
and work out. I don’t do any sports and only swam and skated growing up, so I
wasn’t a very active child. I actually enjoy swimming quite a bit, but never
continued with it.
After making that change in my life, I noticed that I became
a lot happier and felt a lot better about myself. I know that saying that I “started
eating healthier” and “started working out” are probably so vague and not
helpful, so allow me to elaborate.
Before I begin, just a little disclaimer: I am in no way an
expert and am not trying to say that you have to do this and this to be healthy
or trying to be pretentious and say that I’m super healthy because I’m not. I
try really hard and these are simply tips I’ve found helpful on my journey.
