Wow! It's been almost a year since I've written a blog... I feel like I don't even know what to say! There's too much to even update on but the biggest highlights of the past 9 months...
1) Summer was absolutely amazing!
2) Heaven gained an absolutely beautiful angel.. Jessica Leigh <3 on August 18, 2013!
3) I got to visit Texas... again (woohoo!) in October! It was one of the best trips I've ever had!
4) I got to go home to South Dakota for a week for Thanksgiving, and let's just say my mom makes the BEST food probably EVER.... I keep telling her she needs to open a restaurant or bakery!
5) Christmas number 2 via Skype with the family, and even though it wasn't the "real" thing, I loved every minute of it!
6) I have officially been a Noblesville Young Life leader for a year!
7) I surprised my mom (for the second time) by going home for her birthday... she turned 50 so obviously I couldn't NOT surprise her!
8) Valentine's Day just happened and I'm so excited to say that Jesus was my valentine this year and I wouldn't have it any other way!!
So there you have it... the major highlights of the past 9 months. Now on to bigger and better things...
I've really felt The Lord calling me to blog about my healthy life journey... I'm not sure why but I've been going back and forth the past couple of months about it and it's something I really want to do... So instead of this JUST being an update on my life, I want to make this my healthy life journey blog as well! I feel like it'll keep me accountable anyways to eating healthy and living life differently! OH BOY!
Just to update on where I've been with workouts/eating healthy the past year...
As most of you probably know from reading my past blogs, I started working out last February! Welllllllll in June that sort of spiraled down... after Young Life camp I became overwhelmed and couldn't get onto a good schedule. I was having a hard time finding time to workout (I enjoy morning workouts SO much more than evening). I became one of those people that had a gym membership and never went... Umm yeah don't even get me started on the wasted money (so dumb). But as of January 2014 I am pleased to announce...
I'M BACK AT IT, FOLKS!
I truly couldn't be happier! I'm so excited to be back on this journey of living healthy! I am ready to start living healthy again!
*Just to clear things up, weight-loss is not a huge deal to me.. my ultimate goal is to be healthy, not skinny. If I lose weight in the process, WONDERFUL. If not, I'm completely okay with it, as long as I'm healthy. So if the muscle I gain is overpowering the fat I have now and I still weigh the same, then I'm completely okay with that!
I don't plan on stepping on the scale, ever. I will be taking before/progress pictures and I truly feel like that's all the proof I need! I don't want to get discouraged by the scale, I want to be happy this whole journey, not upset because I didn't meet my goal for the week!
OTHER EXCITING NEWS: I'll be running a 5K this April so I'm currently training for that! All of these changes are SO exciting and I cannot wait to see what my future holds!
I plan to update at least once a week with pictures and my healthy eating habits, but I think this is good enough for today! I hope you stay tuned and join me on this journey of eating healthy! <3
