I'm going to start by saying that my head is all over the place. This is going to be a SUPER random posting. Some of you already know about a "Jordan Story". They typically have too much information, they are very long, and don't lead to a point. WOW, that's bad.
The first thing that pops into my head right now is diet and exercise. I grew up obsessed with exercising, eating right, and not drinking anything that has calories (aka alcohol consumption). A lot of my friends now don't even remember me when I was SUPER healthy. There are pros and cons to my madness back then and I'm hoping now that I can come to a happy medium. You would think that all of the above is a good thing and that it's better to make sure you exercise and take care of your body. Makes sense to some, but for me it was a horrible way to live. I woke up hungry and went to sleep hungry. Watching what you eat every moment of the day made me irritable and not fun to hang around. I wasn't happy with my life and I always complained about it.
Till "eureka" one day I decided to start living. I don't know what overcame me, but I wasn't shy anymore. I was feeling left out and feeling like I needed to branch out more. I was introduced alcohol in college, but never really wanted to drink it because of the calories. That was all out the window when I turned 21. I noticed going to concerts, having dinner parties with friends, going to bars and clubs was a lot more interesting then staying home, watching tv, and counting up how many calories I ate that day and then figuring how many I had leftover to have a piece of candy!
For about 4 years now I've stopped working out consistently. It's weird to realize that working out was a part of my every day life. It was like brushing my teeth in the morning and night. As for the eating, I am now loving pizza w/ cheese, sweet and sour pork, ham and cheese sandwich with mayo, and In and Out probably about once a month. Not working out and eating whatever I want has become a lot more fun than being picky, working out every day, and not drinking.
BUT now I feel it's time to crack down and find a way to incorporate working out and healthy eating without getting obsessed or diving right in and then going back to my old unhealthy ways. If anyone has suggestions, I'm totally open to here them.
