Welcome to Fit without a Frown!

The life of many average college students goes something like this:  Study (a lot).  Eat (a lot).  Drink (a lot).  Eat (a lot).  Sleep (a lot or a little--depending on the day).  Certainly not the healthiest of lifestyles.  At 20 years old this routine is all too familiar, and as a result, so is the constant complaining of peers about their physical appearance.  As much as I would like to shake these complainers sometimes and remind them that  their own life decisions do have consequences they may not like, I also understand the laziness of college students, as well as any one else.  

I personally have been an athlete my whole life and I enjoy my 4 hours spent weekly at the gym, but that's not to say my own body hasn't suffered at all from college life and that definitely doesn't mean that my own laziness steers clear of whatever productive, health routine I try to implement for myself.  On any rainy day, any snowy day, or any "too-beautiful-to-miss" day, I can always come up with at least 2 good reasons to skip out on the gym, enjoy a comforting 3-slices of pizza, or drink glass after glass of soda when I have ice-cold, filtered water right in front of me.  

That's why I decided to make this blog, "Fit without a Frown."  I thought a site like this could guide people in their healthy-living endeavors by posting recipes for yummy food that won't affect how your jeans fit the next day.  Or by posting exercise routines that are fun, fast and easy.  Or by posting tips for a happier, more fulfilling lifestyle... You get the point!  Basically, I think we can all agree that it's always easier to take on challenges when there's someone there encouraging and guiding you along the way.  So use this site as just that--a voice to educate, inspire and motivate yourself to become the best version of you!
