What is cardio?

• Cardio is anything that gets your heart beating faster, like running or dancing. Zumba is a great example of cardio, and so is going on the treadmill or the elliptical machine at your local gym. Any of those things are gonna shed fat. (: Something I do almost every day is the World’s Fastest Workout. It’s a four minute workout that kicks my butt, but it’s supposed to jumpstart your metabolism for the next 36 hours, so it’s worth it. Here’s the link:

What’s the best way to lose weight?

• Instead of eating less, eat more! Eat five or six small meals a day, but consume at least 1,200 calories. Change your diet to good foods that you enjoy eating, like fruits or veggies. Get in your daily amount of protein and whole grains. Green tea and water are GREAT things to drink. Make sure to do cardio and then muscle toning. 

How do you fight cravings?

• It’s going to be hard fighting cravings, so instead of totally cutting out junk food, give yourself a small treat once or twice a week. If you want that one brownie during the week, than have it. It’ll help keep you focused and keep you from binging. If your afraid to eat those sorts of foods, try sugary health foods like apples. They’re awesome snacks and fill you up.

Do you post any pictures of yourself or will you?

• I do currently have a progblog, but I’m going to keep that private for now until there’s more on it. 

Will you promote/follow me?

• It depends on whether or not I love your bloggggg.

What is an ED?

• An ED is any eating disorder.

Have you ever had an ED and what is your opinion on them?

• Not anymore. I did in my sophomore year of high school, but my family and friends forced me out of it. Honestly, I’m happy they did before I got extremely sick. I could barely make it through days anymore, and immediately after I recovered I gained about 20 pounds. All in all, it wasn’t worth it and it’s the reason I haven’t tried to lose weight for a very long time. I was too afraid to fall back into my old habits. Having anorexia is a disease, not a choice. Don’t try to have an ED because it could be the worst mistake you’ve ever made. Lose weight the healthy way because you’ll maintain the results and prevent yourself from getting sick.

How long did it take you to get from 163 to 147?

• I’d say it’s taken me close to two months? Maybe less. But I’ve had to work hard to lose those 17 pounds and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. :)
