Let Me Introduce Myself...

Hi, I'm Amanda! 

Welcome to College and Cardio, which will be my sounding board as I navigate the tricky waters of fitness and nutrition while working and attending college, both full-time.

I've done this once before - two years ago I motivated myself to lose almost fifty pounds. I was fit and happy, but even more critical of my body. Looking back at pictures from that period, I shudder to think that I honestly thought of myself as still "fat."  

I have numerous reasons for doing this. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to rock a bikini, whether I'm scuba diving in Mexico or water skiing in Lake Powell. I want to climb mountains. I want to buy smaller clothes. And I want to make my boy proud.

This blog will have three major components. Not only will I post Motivation for myself (and for you if you need it too!), but I'll also post about Food, focusing on portable snacks and healthy meals, and Fitness, which will include daily workouts or workout ideas.

I'm ready to start the journey again. And this time, I'll be even better.

xoxo
