Here We Go!

Just like the title says, here we go! Everything you can possibly read online about starting a blog says to just dive right in even if it's just rambling. The purpose for this blog is to document my journey for a healthier lifestyle. Over the past couple of months I've become more and more passionate about fitness and health all the while inspiring and rubbing off on my family.

I'm like any girl my age, constantly bombarded by beauty ideals and the twisted culture that surrounds us. I just finished up my freshman year at college and after completing 3/4 of the year. not gaining a pound (thank God), I abruptly decided that I just wasn't comfortable with myself. This is my life for christ sakes! Shouldn't everyone be able to be happy with themselves to the best of their ability? I couldn't imagine living with someone who I didn't like and constantly critiqued. So I decided to take control of my life. In three months I've lost 12 lbs and gained a sufficient amount of muscle. I really wish I had taken pictures before I started but oh well, not going back to that state just for some pictures. I'm currently 5'6, 126 lbs, which makes my BMI 20.3. My goal weight is probably around 120 but I want muscle. For some odd reason I've never found muscles on girls sexy until now. Women who have muscles just seem so empowered. I know quite a few guys who would rather have a toned girl than a stick figure.

Hopefully this blog will be away for me to keep track of some yummy (and not so yummy) recipes that I try, product reviews, work out routines, as well as other misc. things that are relevant to my life. Please bare with me as the blog progresses and I hope I can entertain as well as help anyone out there who wants to better their self.
