My name is Amanda, and I\u2019m your MoveU blogger for the school year! To break the ice, here are three points about me:\r\n\r\n- I\u2019m a second-year student at U of T.\r\n- I love to read, write, and consider myself a film and TV aficionado.\r\n- I\u2019m a beginner when it comes to being healthy.\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/a>
This is me 24\/7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nI know what you\u2019re thinking about the last point: my validity as a MoveU blogger must be questionable since I\u2019m currently inactive. I mean, I do understand that; as someone who thinks that tossing and turning my pillows counts as a physical activity, I\u2019m wondering how I got to be a blogger for MoveU too. But I guess that\u2019s the point\u2014I\u2019m not starting this blog with my whole exercise regimen (or lack thereof) already down pat. This blog is about how I am going to take a total 180 turn in my life.\r\n\r\nI don\u2019t want to start off with big, extravagant, and lofty goals, but I don\u2019t want to be vague either. So my main goal is to go from a sedentary to an active lifestyle. I hope to conquer that by experimenting with new activities (archery, anyone?), become confident with the way I look, beat the fear of going to the gym, and to become more productive instead of lounging around in my pajamas during a TV marathon. I want to be able to say, \u201cHey, my body can do amazing things!\u201d and I want to walk tall and proud with my accomplishments over my shoulder. Most of all, I just don\u2019t want to be lazy anymore; I miss those days when I was a kid running on an endless supply of energy and I plan on getting back to that mode.\r\n\r\nHowever, I keep on having the same goals every year, and seldom do I follow through. Yet, with the blog going on, I\u2019m positive that this year is going to be a change for me. So if you\u2019re along for the run (not drive, because this blog is about physical activity), then feel free to join along on this journey. Why do this alone when you can have support, right?\r\n\r\n
