A 5K A Day Keeps The Weight Gain Away

I'm trying this totally new thing called "living healthy." (Spoiler alert: I so do not run a 5K a day; I just thought that was a catchy title. But! I did think of it while running, so, you know, street cred.)

My totally new and unique lifestyle is comprised of two tenets that no one has ever thought of before:

(1) Eat less that I used to.
(2) Move more than I used to.

The "used to" lifestyle was not working for me or my waist line. I've been doing this new thing for about a month and so far, so good. If it continues to work I'll share the things that have been effective so far. Who knows if they will work in the future. And, by future, I mean when school starts in August and I no longer have time to even take a breath, much less eat right and work out. That's just cray cray.

The eating right consists of maintaining a diet of mostly fruits and veggies (and protein), which is way easy to do in the summer because (1) I eat everything, and (2) tomatoes and nectarines are in season, which is a fact that wildly increases the quality of my life.

Exercise consists of biking miles and miles to/from work each week, working toward hiking each weekend, a bit of strength training, and a bit of running. And by "running," I mean jogging slash walking.

I'm also drinking massive amounts of water and almost no DDP, but we'll see how long that lasts. I'll save that evaluation for another blog on another day. :)

Really, this is all I want to do these days:
