Let's Exercise!

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
​

I'm not sure if I've discussed it before, but I'm the kind of girl who needs to watch her weight. Unfortunately, I don't have the type of body that will let me eat a bag of mini Reece's and not suffer the consequences.
When I was younger, I was very active. I played softball, did ballet & tap, and I was a cheerleader. Sure, I still couldn't afford to eat a dozen donuts in one sitting, but I didn't have to worry about what I was eating quite as much since I was burning so many calories each day. But as I got older, I stopped being involved in so many physical activities, which meant that it was even more important to watch what I was eating.

I've never been the skinniest girl in the room, but I was doing alright in high school. Have you ever heard about the "freshman fifteen" though? People are not lying when they say that you gain weight at college. You start eating whatever you can find in the dining hall, and you spend a lot of time sitting and doing nothing (or, you know, studying... I was definitely studying, not watching Netflix). So anyway, I gained weight at college. I've lost some of it, then put it back on again... I'm a stress eater, and I eat when I'm bored.

I decided that it's time to start cracking down now. I'm out of college, we're moving next month, and I want to be happier and healthier. I found a few exercises that I can do in my bedroom that make me feel the burn, but aren't too crazy for someone who isn't used to exercising, and I started working out yesterday. My little sisters, who are five, said that they wanted to work out with me. It's funny, because one of the twins is just like me; she loves carbs and hates veggies. The other twin is our total opposite; she'll eat just lettuce and carrots for dinner. Surprisingly enough, the veggie-loving twin is the one who doesn't want anything to do with the exercises once we get going, while the carb-loving twin is totally into it with me. They're both pretty funny though, trying to do sit-ups as fast as possible, and thinking that a princess dress will make their exercises more glamorous!

Have you ever tried to exercise with little kids? It's quite an experience!

I'm now only three people away from hitting 100 likes on my Facebook author page! I'd really love it if you would support my writing career by taking a few seconds and liking the page yourself. Thanks so much!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
