Here to my Health

Since I started College, my health has been declining steadily. In August, 2009 I was lean and toned, happy and healthy. The stress, long hours of sitting in class, late, late nights, and a tighter than tight budget soon took its tolling on my physical as well as mental health. This has been going on for the past two years and now finally I am dedicating myself to doing something about it. I looked in the mirror and simply didn't recognize myself. I was lethargic, depressed, and unmotivated, problems that I know so many other Americans suffer from every day. I thought that the reason for these problems was stemming from myself, that they were caused by personal predispositions that led to being eternally depressed and tired. Though this may be true to a point, I soon figured out and admitted to myself that it was not me, but my lifestyle that was turning me into a total vegetable.

After deciding to take a year off from school and move back home to Louisville (two of the best decisions of my life) I figure that it is a major time of change for me so I might as well change for the better in every way I can. It's time to start feeling alive again. From now on I will be eating almost entirely organic food and getting AT LEAST one hour of exercise a day. I have decided to start this project and post it on my blog so people can see my progress and know that they can do it too.
