The Blonde in Pink

I have a super exciting review to share with you guys today, on a subject matter that I haven’t reaaaally dived into on my blog, despite my love and passion for it (bear with me, I realize how cheesy I’m sounding already, but I think this is important stuff!!). 

Story time: I was always a pretty active kid, and when I started high school, I joined the track team and ended up being a pretty decent sprinter. Practices were 6x a week with meets on the weekends, and overall it was damn hard. We would do endurance runs interspersed with hill sprints, 200 m. dashes over and over again, and this dreaded stairs workout… Seriously, I kinda shudder just thinking about it, I sometimes can’t believe I subjected myself to such extreme workouts 6 out of 7 days of the week. 

However, I never really considered it to be “working out.” To me, it was always just “practice.” And I would come home from practice, and a long day of school, and would eat whatever I wanted. Which usually involved more or less two dinners, and servings of Goldfish by the bowlful. So of course, once I graduated from high school and wasn’t involved in any sports in college, my not so great eating habits and my two or three times a week elliptical sessions at the gym weren’t enough to keep my body from changing. And not in a good way. I gained the freshman 15 and then some and was not a happy camper.
