Hi everyone! So there have been many thoughts running through my mind as to why I've created this blog, and I've come to a simple answer...I want to inspire YOU, I want to motivate YOU, I want YOU to realize that YOU are beautiful and deserve the body and health that YOU've always dreamed of. No its not easy and yes it takes time, but with the determination and mindset you can get it done.

I began my journey back in January of 2013 weighing in at my heaviest weight of 177 lbs. I am 5'7" and very well proportioned so I didn't look awful, but I did feel awful and I became fed up! I was to a point where I was eating fast food almost daily and then feeling gross and groggy for hours after. It was time for change. I began slow at first, for example: I began to follow many different fitness models and motivational pages on Instagram (I knew that because I am a frequent ig user I'd see daily motivation that way), I became more aware of the foods that I was putting into my body by doing research and attempting to understand the chemicals that they add to our food (attempting being key word), I reached out to friends and family for moral support (HUGE! Surround yourself with positive people who will support you. If they don't support you in this lifestyle change then they are no good for you anyway), and I changed my mindset (I knew that one of the MOST important steps in this journey was to start believing in myself).

"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." -Christian D. Larson

So there you have it my followers, the beginning stages of my journey. Not easy but well worth it!
