Hey, I'm Jordan and I'll be 19 soon. I'm currently a freshman in college in Massachusetts. As I said in an earlier post, this is a blog to remind me why I want to be healthy. My plan (condensed) is to go no carb for about 3 weeks, then switch to little carbs (low-carb fruit like berries) until I've lost all the weight I want to, and then add in a bit more carbs (higher-sugar fruit) until I reach an equilibrium point. All the while, I'm going to recommit myself to exercise, renewing my motivation. I'm going to start living a healthy lifestyle and being the person I want to be. The only thing stopping me is me! FYI, this is not a diet, this is a lifestyle change! I am not doing this because I want to lose weight (though I must admit that it's a great side motivator, and something that's more concrete to focus on), I am doing this because the last time I did no carb, my life basically pulled itself together. I honestly don't know how it happened, all I know is that suddenly I was happy, confident, at an amazing place (like never before ) with friends, not tired, able to focus, and just in an amazing place. I made the mistake of quitting for a silly reason that I now regret. All I've been able to think about for the last year and a half is how I want to go back to that time, to that me. Well, no more excuses. The only one who can change my life is me. I'm ready to be happy again and to go after the life that I want!
