12 Thoughts That Go Through Your Mind When Trying To Embrace A Healthy Lifestyle

Many of us have had that wake-up call where we realized we are not as in shape as we used to be. It then becomes apparent that we need to make some changes in our diet and exercise routine...which may mean actually having a diet and exercise routine.

Here are some thoughts that might go through your head when you are trying to get back into living a healthier lifestyle:

1. I'm gonna eat a salad...that's healthy right?

*Covers salad in a ton of fattening ranch*

2. I'm going to cut pop out of my diet and drink La Croix instead.

*Realizes you would rather drink water all the time than drink another La Croix again*

3. Why can't my metabolism work in my favor for a change?

Why can some people eat literally everything under the sun and not gain a pound, yet I gain like 10 pounds just looking at pizza?

4. Meal prep is a wonderful thing!

Dough, cheese, pepperoni, and veggies? Sounds like a well-balanced meal to me!

5. I think I am already starting to look thinner!

*Started diet like 24 hours ago*

6. Can you burn calories during a nap?

All that contemplation about going to the gym now has me super tired!

7. Today is the day I am going to go to the gym.

*Thinks about the day ahead* Hmm maybe tomorrow.

8. When you actually get to the gym and feel like a boss just for being there.

Look at me, look at me getting all fit!

9. Just had the best workout ever.

Time to celebrate that workout with some Taco Bell!

10. Can God just make me skinny already?

Pretty please?!

11. Realizing almost all the food you love is full of carbs.

Is there any food that tastes good that doesn't have carbs?!

12. Lost 5 pounds last week. Loses nothing this week. This healthy lifestyle thing is a bunch of crap!!!

The scale must be malfunctioning!!!

The road to losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is rough at times. It is very hard to get back into the swing of things, but don't let the negative and counterproductive thoughts convince you to give up. Keep making strides to get that healthy body you've been aiming for!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
