IM BACK! (well...kinda)

So I am back from an amazing experience at Quartz Mountain. Really wonderful. The people were amazing, the kids were talented, the faculty was incredible. I could go on and on, but I won't. Just know that I had a great time and I would do it again in a heartbeat. AND I lost a little weight. Not as easily as I thought I would, though. I have to say, even though I was working hard and trying to work out, the food just held me back! We had buffet style food for every meal and I cant only intake so much lettuce in two weeks time. SO at times the food was of no help to me. But the place was GORGEOUS and it made going for a run much more enjoyable. I'm saying I lost around 3 lbs while I was there. Not gonna lie, I was hoping for something like 10 lbs... but i guess three is more realistic.

But NOW I am in the city that never sleeps!



NEW YORK BABY! I am here for about 6 weeks to just audition, learn the city, and my main focus, learn how to live a healthy lifestyle in NYC. My first day (aka yesterday) I took an amazing jog in Central Park. It was about 77 degrees outside, nice breeze going, sun shinning, it was so great. I am going to try to run 6 days a week. Okay not TRY to run.. I WILL run six days a week. I don't have a job so lord know I have the time.

The key for me is trying not to eat out. Not only is it SO expensive here, but it is hard finding healthy options in a new place. So I went to the grocery store yesterday and dropped $60 on what seemed like not a lot of food. So now I have the means of eating at home, which is great. I think were my downfall will be is at bars. I love to drink and go out with friends, but I'm worried I'm going to drink all my calories (and dollars...) We'll see how it goes.

Now I'm off to try on clothes for motivational purposes...

Hello, New York!

  1. Oh gosh! I went to Quartz Mountain many years ago. Those two summers I went still stand at in the great experiences of my life. And I've done a lot. Congrats on going!

    Good luck to you!
