the freshman 17 outfit

I will not gain weight. I will not gain weight. I will not gain weight.

That was my claimed phrase at the beginning of my freshman year. Well, seventeen pounds later and I am back home for the summer. It wasn't even about the extra pounds I didn't want tacked onto the scale but the unhealthy lifestyle it would take to get there. If anything, I had planned on becoming more healthy once I arrived at Harding. I had all these cute little plans until I realized that living healthy was much harder than I had expected. 

I thought it was a silly little rumor. The freshman fifteen was as real as big foot and I had a high metabolism anyways. In high school I had formed habits that caught up with me. I no longer am able to eat chicken fried steak and 20 rolls on the couch for hours. Like, what?

So now that I am home for the summer I have three months to break old habits and form healthier ones. Having a workout schedule is a habit that never appealed to me. I have always bought new running shoes to motivate myself and I would actually run for a couple of weeks. A few weeks ago I was looking up comfortable work out shirts and found this batman shirt on jackofalltrades.com.

At first I had picked out this shirt because I thought my dad would get a kick out of it when we went to the gym. He has a huge thing for batman, similar to a man crush. But when the package had arrived, the package had been opened, and the object in the package was on my body I fell in love. The material is what makes this shirt perfection. Even though I haven't started working out (I will eventually), I wear this shirt around everywhere.

As of right now, it is the freshman 17 but at least I got an awesome shirt out of it.
