The Road to Healthy


Hello, this is my blog! In 2011 I decided that it was time to start living a happier and healthier lifestyle.

My mom carried me for nine months. She felt sick for those months with nausea, then she watched her feet swell & her skin stretch. She teared. She struggled to climb stairs, she got breathless quickly and she even suffered many sleepless nights. She then went through excruciating pain to bring me into this world. Then, she became my nurse, my chef, my maid, my chauffeur, my biggest fan, my teacher & my best friend. She’s struggled for me, cried over me, hoped the best for me and prayed for me. Most of us take our mom for granted. Reblog if you love your mum more than anything else in the world.

Went for a run yesterday..

Even though I knew I shouldn’t, and now my hip hurts like heeeell. I really should to to the doctor..
So now that I know that I won’t be running for a bit, I’m going to have to find something else to do for cardio, it’ll most likely be cycling but my bike is sort of broken, so I’ll have to see if I can use one of my parents’ bikes.

If any of you guys have any suggestion as to what I could do for cardio instead of running, please tell me!! :-)
