Running On Healthy

I was sick of hating myself. I was tired of feeling bad all the time. I needed to change and had no idea how to start it, stick with it, and make it last forever. Enter Running On Healthy, my Blog. My name is Amie. I am a 21 year old Nursing Student who had no clue about what nutrition was, and how to eat to live, not the other way around.

Running On Healthy is my personal weight loss story. At 191 pounds and only 5’4 I needed to make some serious changes not only for my health, but for my happiness. I hated who I was and took no pleasure in my life.

Not knowing how to make weight loss stick I started out (again.) with Weight Watchers and successfully lost 50 pounds. Slowly I started learning about what was good for my body, what was bad for my body, and how I actually wanted to live my life. A secret binge eater at McDonalds, my biggest change came when I made the choice to become a vegetarian. I later joined My Fitness Pal and lost an additional 20 pounds as well as fell in love with running.

It has taken me 17 months, but in that time I have lost almost 70 pounds. Every up, down, and maintain is chronicled through my honest and open blog posts. Writing about topics such as Love, Food, and Exercise has been a pinnacle in my weight loss journey.

Somewhere along the way it went from weight loss to a lifestyle.

Now, I am living, and loving life. Gaining self confidence, and falling in love with everything I have to offer the world, I have a completely new outlook on the relationship between food, activity, and lifestyle. I blog because I want others to know that with consistency and commitment, weight loss can be accomplished, exercise can be fun, and dessert can be eaten every day.
