Hydration

Hey there! So drinking water is a very important part of losing weight. In general, we should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day. So, to keep track of how many glasses of water you drink a day, I found this great idea on the internet. Wear 8 rubber bands around your wrist and every time you drink a glass of water, remove one rubber band. If you drink a pop or a soda, put one band back on your wrist! I think this is a great idea and I will definately be using it! Hope it works for you! :)

Foods that will boost your metabolism

Along with working out, you must eat well also. In the past, I have used the Weightwatchers system. This system worked very well for me; I lost 15 pounds!! I do recommend this system. However, now that I am in college I do not have time to keep track of all the food I eat every day. Instead, I decided to eat more vegetables and foods that will help boost my metabolism. Drinking lots of water every day is also a key part of staying healthy and getting in shape. Below is a list of  fifteen foods that will help boost your metabolism.



Good luck!

Exercise: Level 1

Hey everyone! So I was browsing the internet and came across a blog on tumblr (downtownn.tumblr.com). It is a blog all about fitness and getting in shape. The blogger has an exercise plan that has 4 levels (soon to be five) and I am choosing to do this. Below is the level 1 workout plan. At first look it does seem very easy but I was looking ahead at the higher levels and they do get much harder, let me tell you! I plan to follow this whole workout. It will help me start out easy and gradually get to tougher workouts. It seems like very little to do a day but this is what I am choosing to do. Feel free to use this!
Below is the Starters Exercise plan if you wish to start a little easier than level one. (I am starting with level one but feel free to start with the starter's plan!) This is a great way to get you used to exercising every day!
Good luck everyone!

Intro

Hey everyone! My name is Olivia! This is my very first blog so bare with me. I wanted to start this blog for a number of reasons. 1. It will help me keep track of my progress of getting in shape and shedding those unwanted pounds. 2. I want to share my progress with others and show them it is possible. and 3. I have always thought that blogs were so cool so I wanted to start my own.
So what is this blog all about? Well let me tell you! Being a college freshman, I found out that the phrase "Fresman Fifteen" was true... I have gained weight since I got to college... and to start I am not the thinnest girl either. I have always struggled with weight. I just want to get in shape and not be lazy. So I am going to attempt to excersize a little bit each day, starting out slow and slowly but surely increase the difficulty. Also, I want to start eating healthy. So starting weight: 150.
I will try and write a new post a few times every week! Thank you so much for reading!
If you have any comments or thoughts please let me know! Thanks!

Much love,
Olivia :)
