Picture of Success

I live each day just trying to be a little better than the one before. If I can do that, I've succeeded. I'm in no rush to be perfect, but I'll never give up trying.

Summer Shape Up: Introduction

Here I go again.

The semester is over (minus one exam tomorrow) and I have decided to focus my summer on health and wellness of the physical and spiritual kind.  I’ve written a little about going vegetarian and trying to transition to veganism, and that is essentially what I want to try and do this summer.  Although I’m not sure that I will ever become a full on vegan, I do want to omit animal products from anything I cook and eat at home, and reserve those things for eating out and special occasions with friends.  I also want to get into a good workout routine and tone back up, as I’ve lost any and all progress that I made in the fall during this past semester.  I’m starting with Jillian Micheal’s Thirty Day Shred because I have done it before and loved it, and got good results.  After that I’m probably going to do Ripped in Thirty, and then maybe I’ll advance to something different.  I will also be hiking, biking, and carrying 30 pound trays up and down stairs 30+ hours a week all summer, so if I don’t look my best by the end of the summer, I’ll be baffled as shit.  Anyway, I really just want to feel good and learn more about nutrition and cooking plant-based meals, but looking good and working hard make me feel good, so yeah.  I don’t really have a ton to say, so I’m not sure that I’ll post everyday, but hopefully a lot, as I want to share my adventures, because if I can pull this off and really accomplish something, then anyone can!
