Day 47/90
Another great workout at the park. I walked up this steep hill, jogged the track twice, and walked/jogged one of the trails. When I made a bowl of oatmeal and told my dad it was only 150 calories, he actually told me that he was glad to see I was staying on top of things. It meant a lot to hear him say that since he’s my biggest critique.
Anyways, I can’t believe how much I enjoy...

Day 45/90
I must say, for me to be half way through three months of fitness, I definitely had a great workout. I went back to the same park from yesterday, only this time I did a lot more jogging. I want to be more of an outdoor runner. So far I’ve done a lot of running on the treadmill, and it does not compare to running in the great outdoors at all. To become more accustomed to running on pavement,...
This Might Sound Weird...
But sometimes I have dreams where I’m actually skinny. It seems so real that I can’t help but get a little sad when I wake up. But one day, not too far from today, I’ll be living that dream!

Day 44/90
I finally worked out again after chilling for four days. I went walking with my dad and aunt at this really nice park down the street from my house. We walked for an hour and a half! It wasn’t very hard, so I jogged a couple of times throughout the walk. The scenic view was really nice though. At the top of the park you can look over Los Angeles. Exercising means the most to me when...

Update
I know I haven’t posted about my progress in a few days, so let me fill you all in on what’s been going on….
Since I’ve been home for Winter Break, I’ve eaten out about four times, I haven’t been counting my calories, I’ve worked out when I could, and I’ve honestly just been chilling, having a good time. With that being said, I think it’s...

Day 37/90
Another day on the stairs, only today I changed it up a bit. I went with one of my friends and her two sisters. We walked up the stairs once, walked down, and then jogged/walked up the trail that wraps around the hill and stairs. When I was jogging, I could feel so much pain in my legs, butt, and abs, but I loved it! And the view once you reach the top is just beautiful. After we finished, we went...

Day 36/90
Made it back to Aztec Mountain and walked it about 1 1/2 times. I know that sounds weird, but it’s because I didn’t go all the way up the second time lol. While I was there, I ran into a girl who went to my high school and she was working out with a group of people. She told me they meet on Mondays at the bottom of the stairs at 9am. I’m definitely going to workout with them...

Day 35/90
I AM BACK IN ACTION FOLKS!
That’s right. I made myself get off the couch today to workout. My brother and I went back to AZTEC MOUNTAIN (the name my dad gave to the crazy stairs). We walked up them twice and it felt GREAT. I thought it was going to be cold outside, so I wore a sweater, but it ended up being pretty warm and I sweated a lot. I plan on going back tomorrow. Hopefully by the end...
I’ve come to the conclusion that working out is a lot easier when it’s NOT December, and when I’m at school with a gym that’s only 5 minutes away.
I’ve slacked off ridiculously.

Day 32/90
I haven’t worked out yet, and it’s 8pm. BUT, I’m going skating tonight and I’m excited. I’m wearing sweats just to make sure I’m comfortable so I can get a good roll on. I am going to sweat tonight and skate with a workout in mind. So no resting, unless I have to because of couples skating, or trios, etc.

Day 31/90
Today wasn’t anything special. I was supposed to go walking with my dad and aunt, but I just couldn’t get up this morning. So instead, I just did some strength training, focusing on my legs. I did donkey kicks, dead lifts, and sumo squats. Better than nothing.
I’ll be back in the gym tomorrow to do cardio.
College Fad
Like sushi, I think being healthy is a college thing. Of course, there are a few people who enter college having already lived a healthy lifestyle, or other who maintained a nice figure through sports, but I don’t think anyone really gets into health the way they do once they hit college.
Mostly everyone wants to look good and be fit in hopes to find a special someone (that’s a broad...

Day 30/90
I know, I’ve skipped a lot of days.
But today I got back in the gym! I was on the treadmill for 35 minutes, I jogged for 30, and walked the rest. It felt GREAT. AND, it was my first time in a big gym other then the one at my school. I went to Ballys with my dad and aunt which was nice for bonding with the two of them. I had a sandwich right before, so I had plenty of fuel and energy for a...
