My Life Being Renewed: Ready for Summer!!

Ready for Summer!!

March 3, 2016



Happy Thursday lovies! It's almost Friday- yay!! The weather is finally starting to warm up here in Georgia and I for one, could not be more excited about it! I love the feel of sunshine on my face- goodbye cold weather! 

Summer is my favorite time of the year- I'm so looking forward to relaxing at the beach and catching up on some reading! Today I decided that it was time that I get my butt in gear and start running & eating healthy, drink more h20, etc! So in order to keep myself accountable, I plan on coming here and keeping you guys updated on how my new healthy lifestyle is coming along.

This morning I ran for 30 minutes and plan on running 30 more minutes with the hubby this afternoon. I noticed that it was really easy to start downing much more h20 while running- who knew! Running has also given me that extra pep in my step and I love how it helps to clear my head. I am super excited about getting healthy + losing the 6 lbs that I gained over the holidays + losing an extra 5 or so more. I plan on adding in lots of green juices, raw foods and salads back into my diet.

I'm cutting back on dairy, sugar, meats and alcohol. The best eating plan that I tend to lean towards is the Paleo and the Whole 30 Plan + Gluten Free but I usually do my eating plan without so much protein. Pork is definitely the worst protein and I don't even like it in our household- it's super unhealthy & loaded with artery clogging fats!! 


Who else is excited for Summer? Are you starting a healthy eating plan already or starting soon?

  1. I cannot wait for summer! I've also been cracking down on drinking more water, and find that if I keep my water bottle by my side, I have no problem staying hydrated throughout the day. Now I just have to remember to pick it up as I walk out the door!
    I've also been adopting a more healthy eating plan for a couple months, and want to stick with it! Even just little changes make such a big difference. Good luck with all your goals!

    Stay lovely,

  5. Ahhh like you, I am dreaming about summer, Melinda! And CRAVING some warmth in my life! I've been completely gluten free since December due to an allergy I developed and I feel like a different person! It's the best thing that happened to me.

    1. Carol, yes me too! I eat healthy all year long, except for the holidays I probably did have a few too many gluten free cookies or stuffing :)
