I'll Try My Best

I've decided to do something that I REALLY don't want to do. Well, I guess I've decided to do multiple somethings that I really don't want to do. For the whole month of August I will be running 5 miles every day and starting on the second day of August, I will also be eating within the constraints of the Vegan diet... terrible I know.

Why would I put myself through such torture? Well it's pretty simple: I'm extremely over my body and I'd like to see a change in its appearance and feeling. And lucky for you folks who decide to read this mess of a journey I will be documenting my thoughts, feelings, etc etc throughout the whole month. I'm mainly documenting for myself—to keep track of everything and to hold myself accountable but also, I shall be documenting for whoever wants to follow such a journey. I have been trying to get in shape for a very long time and there's a lot out there on the internet that isn't clear and seems too good to be true. By keeping track of this challenge and what I do and do not do throughout this month shall help you as a reader see if you wanna take part is such an experiment. Now I'm no health specialist. I'm a 19 year old girl, and I understand that running and dieting helps lose weight so that's what I'm doing. And in the end of it all, we will all get to see if this journey is worth all the struggles.

I started this whole 5 mile running bit yesterday just to see how I would feel. It's extremely tough on the brain—I wanted to stop after mile 2-4 but I just had to keep pushing. I was sore pretty much 10 minutes after it all and I'm still sore now. But I can 100% tell that if I keep up the running and start the dieting I will see a difference in my body come September 1st.

But let me just say with this whole diet thing—if I'm in a pinch or if anything comes up and in no way shape or form I can continue with the diet, I will break it. But the goal is to stick to it as often as possible in any way possible...

We shall see how this goes, cheers 🥂
