Isn't That Just Life

I was so excited to start this blog and get back into my journey to a fit and healthy life. So you know what happens, naturally? I get terribly sick for the past three weeks. Literally I have been to student health three times since January 28th. But it finally looks like I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am hoping and praying that it stays that way this time. Unfortunately I think I am the one who re-infected myself because I wasn't soon enough to cleaning my make-up brushes / switching tooth brushes / cleaning off my laptop phone, etc. DO THOSE THINGS. Anyway, I am actually excited to go to class tomorrow because I finally can, even though it is supposed to be 5 degrees...woo!

Here is a positive note to leave on:

Hello & Welcome!

Welcome to Running Roses!

This is a new blog that will be dedicated to health, fitness, food and fun. I can't wait to get started to see where this journey takes me.

A bit about me:

My name is Amber and I am twenty-two years old. I have been struggling with my weight ever since I started college, 4 years ago. All throughout my life I was very athletic, playing sports year round. I would eat whatever I wanted, but for the most part, I never had to worry about weight. After graduating high school and moving to my college town, I didn't spend any time working out or doing any type of physical activity. On top of that, I started eating out at least once, sometimes twice EVERY DAY. I wasn't until I had gained almost 30 pounds that I noticed I was going down the wrong path. I quickly changed my life around and lost 50+ pounds in about 5-6 months. I maintained, dedicated to my new healthy habits, for a little over a year and a half, until I met my boyfriend John. He is an extremely picky eater and LOVES ice cream a pizza. Needless to say, I packed on the 50 lbs I had lost and then some.

I am extremely unhappy with where I am, which led to my depression for the past year. Now, I am now longer depressed, and I am on the path of losing all the weight I gained, and more, by turning my home into a healthy haven.

I hope that you'll join me along this journey and that I might inspire you to do the same!
