Changing my diet

Posted on by Sarah Cooley

So since no one really seemed to have any input on what I blog about, or where, I’m just going to write about what I have been wanting to write about for a while. For a long time I tried to keep this blog mainly about social media and online tools, and while that is still a huge part of my interests, lately I’ve been wanting to talk about something that is very different. That is, food.

A few weeks ago I posted on my tumblr that I was tired of feeling overweight, and that I was ready to do something about it. I put myself on a healthy diet that consisted of lots of fresh produce (fruits and veggies), whole grains, and to try and keep all of my indulgences vegan (that has helped me to not fall of the wagon by eating a huge bagel and cream cheese every time I have a bad day). And I started to exercise more (mainly yoga and walking).

I’ve been posting updates on my tumblr about how much weight I’ve lost, and it has really helped me to feel the support of a community who wants you to achieve your goals. So far I have lost 7 lbs! So I wanted to share this with you all so that you won’t be as confused when I start writing about healthy eating, supporting local farms, vegan recipes, etc.

    What an awesome example to set for people around you Sarah. I think many people want to do something, but we put it off. Your efforts have paid off in such a short time too, you are taking action and showing your results. What we eat is such a reflection of who we are and how we feel. This is a topic I am passionate about and totally love that you are sharing your success! Yay :)

    Thanks Selina! I really hope that my actions will make people more conscious of what they eat. Not everyone needs to go extreme vegan, but it's nice to think about what you eat and how it affects your body.
