Hi, I'm Shannon! ☼ I'm 18 years old. This is my lifelong journey of living a healthy lifestyle.

I’m over it.

I’m done being his puppet. For once, I’m going to do what I want, not asking him what he wants. I don’t want to waste my college life, worrying about making him happy when he doesn’t worry about me.

I’m done. sorry? Idk, I just want to be happy for once. 

Classes for fall! Yes, that’s right. Weight lifting & Health class! So excited :))

This is pretty much my summer in pictures! I’m so sorry I have not been on a lot, things have been crazy! I have been spending so much time getting ready to go off to college, which I am MORE than thrilled about. Obviously, Zach and I are back together <3 I have never been happier, he is the most amazing guy in the whole world. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

However.. along the lines of healthy eating and fitness, I am not doing so great :/ after Zach left, I was doing SO great, however I stepped on the scale one day, saw that I had gained weight even though I was working out harder than I ever had and eating better than ever, so needless to say, I got VERY discouraged and just went off the deep end :/ BUT everyday is a new day, so today I am starting fresh! And this time, I am staying away from the scale!

I hope everyone is doing great :) & Have a great end of summer! 

Watching One Tree Hill & the rain fall outside..

Oh how I love my life. 

Just finished a 14 mile bike ride… heeell yeah!

Hey guysss!

going to get ready, eat dinner, then go to 3 hours of dance :)

ah this is the weather outside right now!! I&#8217;m home because I had my AP Government exam this morning, then just came home after :) my period is killing me though :/ thats why I haven&#8217;t been working out. I&#8217;ll get back to it though girls, don&#8217;t worry! Laying in bed and watching criminal minds today though :)

awful night.

i feel so sick…

omg. 

well guys..

I just managed to eat a doughnut.. My dad brought them home from Krispy Kreme and was it the best choice? No. but is it going to KILL me?! No. I’m not going to gain all the weight back that I have lost and I’m certainly not losing the progress I have been making. I started my period today though :/ and I feel like I need a rest day, so today, I’m resting, spending time with my family, and enjoying life <3

what I got my mom for Mother&#8217;s day :) hope she likes it!! i love her so much and appreciate everything she does!

Off to the pool!

I’ll be tumbling the whole time though.. hehe no worries :)

gotta get tan! 

this is my motivation wall! I just put it together yesterday :) it has a count down to the days until Zach comes, a count down for my weight, my daily schedule I made for myself for the next two weeks, daily meal plan I made for myself, and various quotes to motivate me to keep going :) I love it so much! I encourage everyone to do something like this, it will encourage, motivate, and remind you of your goals and what you are striving for, every time you look in the mirror :) love you all!

-wash my brother’s truck

-go through give away items

-layout by the pool and tan

-workout

-go through under my bathroom sink

-movie night with Zach tonight! (over FaceTime)

It’s going to be an awesome day, so I better get going! I’ll be on throughout the day though, don’t worry :)
