In the midst of preparing for final papers, final exams and final materials to hand in, some of us are also saying our final goodbyes. This may be my final semester at the big TU, but it doesn’t mean that I will forget where I started. I started as a health food junkie and I’m leaving here as the same.
Through my numerous articles, I’ve given you a gift—some hearty healthy eating and exercising advice to snack on! My hope is that you took some of my knowledge and incorporated it into your own life.
It seems that along the way, we usually learn something about ourselves. For me, I’ve learned that even though you may feel the burn while working out, you should never give up. This pertains to life as well. You should never give up on your dreams and accomplishes just because someone tells you that you can’t because guess what ladies? You can! You can lose that weight. You can eat fruits and veggies instead of downing that entire carton of ice cream. It’s about portion and self-control.
Here’s a secret to share– I’ve struggled with weight all my life. From being rail thin in elementary school to thicker in middle school to feeling confident in college. I’ve progressed in such a rapid manner and now, I feel confident in my own skin.
Since summer break is fast approaching, this seems like the perfect opportunity to get fit. It’s your time to shine and scold yourself if you get off track. Try this on for size, get a friend to support you on this journey of healthy eating and/ or losing weight. Hey, just might find that it’s easier with a partner by your side! Remember—bikini season is among us and we might want that flaunt our body in that teeny bikini that’s been hiding under the bed!
I leave you with these final words, always believe in yourself and remember, if you want those Jillian Michaels’ abs I’m always referring to, you have to fight for them!
