So I've always wanted to lose a few pounds, nothing new :/ . As far as I can remember I've always been overweight, It may not have been that bad in high school but college has definitely changed many things in my life and my weight is now at an all time high. I have been depending on my summer visits to jamaica to help me slim down because the food I eat in Jamaica is way healthier and organic compared to the processed foods I eat in the US.

I no longer want to depend on my vacations to get back down to a size I never really appreciated in the first place. I want yo move past that and become the small version of myself that I know is in there somewhere.

My excuses usually are that I hate working out and the only "workouts"I would consider doing are dancing and swimming. However, since I am no longer a part of a dance group and I don't like swimming by myself (yea its weird I feel awkward at the pool alone) I've just been avoiding exercise all together.

I started off summer in Jamaica trying to get fit by doing a dance workshop but that has been over for a while now and I'm back on the "no exercise" routine. Not good.

So as of tomorrow I want to push myself to being healthy, I know what it takes, I know the steps to eating right and exercising, so I'm finally going to do it!

Of course I'll have to come up with a plan for workouts and work it into my schedule for when I go back to New York and also for when I go back to college.

Healthy, fit..smaller Alyson--> here I come!
