Fitness is not for Pansies

So I realized something today while I was at the gym: 99 times out of 100, you give up on your body, not the other way around. It's not really your body that says you can't go further to climb that next flight of stairs, or run that extra minute, it's your head. If you tell your head to suck it up and keep pushing your body, you won't collapse.
I also realized that when people tell you to measure yourself in the morning instead of at the end of the day, they generally know what they're talking about. I measured for the first time so that I could track the progress of toning and trimming my body yesterday. Apparently you should not do that after a workout. I measured in the morning just to see what the difference would be...two whole inches off my waist and off my hips in the morning compared to what I measured in the evening after a workout.
If you haven't tried Zumba, go for it! I didn't want to do it at first; I can't dance, but it's so much fun!

Beginning of Shenanigans and Vegetable Chips

Ok guys, I'm just starting this little blogging project for fun, and I hope to just share things that I love and adore, find funny, think are inspiring, etc.

Today I got to sample these wonderful Green Giant Veggie Snack Chips. As a college kid, sometimes I find myself yearning to nibble on something salty, but alas! I only have sweet things in my room. Like heck I'm going to walk a mile down to the meal hall. I'm already addicted to these chips. As I'm currently typing, I'm restraining myself from opening the bag back up to eat another handful. The cheddar chips are wonderful (who would know there's broccoli in them?)! The sweet potato chips are so yummy and multigrain-y and sweet and salty all at the same time, I just can't help myself! I do believe I've found my new delicious snacking treat!

Have a wonderful day, lovlies! Stay true and love always!
