It’s About Time!

Hi there,

Welcome to my blog! I set up this page a couple of months ago and I am finally getting around to writing my first post.... Pretty exciting! I've been a "blog-stalker" for several years now, so it's about dang time that I started my own!

Let me start out by telling you all a bit about myself and the reason behind this blog. Well, I'm a twenty-five year old lover of all things health and fitness and a self-proclaimed foodie. I try to eat a clean diet filled with fresh fruits and veggies about 80% of the time, but I leave a little room for my favorite treats (hello, red wine and dark chocolate!) on occasion. But let's be honest... I'm human and sometimes those treats "on occasion" occur a little more often than they should and I could use an accountability partner. So, that's where you come in! I plan to use this blog as a means to keep myself accountable as I strive to live the healthiest lifestyle as possible, while still enjoying (in moderation) the occasional treats in life!

I don't know about you, but I am a stress-eater. When I'm stressed there is absolutely nothing I want more than a brownie or a sugar-laden cocktail. Well guess what?! I'm about 5 weeks away from marrying this handsome man and it is crunch time to make sure all the wedding planning is coming together.

To me, wedding planning means stress. But with you as my witness, I am determined to keep my cravings under control. Instead of giving in and scarfing down that cookie, I'm going to distract myself with other things.

My plan -

Whenever I have a craving for something sweet, I'm going to drop down and do 10 push ups. Kinda silly, I know. But I think that will be a great reminder that I have a wedding dress to wear in a few weeks and I want my arms to look great! What craving?...

Thanks for reading my first post! I'm not sure why I put it off for so long. It wasn't that bad!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
