Here we GO!

Woo-Hoo! Here we go into the land of blogging. This is going to be an adventure! I started this blog because I often find myself finding articles online or reading through Self, Cosmopolitan, Shape, O, etc. and see some amazing articles and quick tips that I think to myself, "Wow my sister might LOVE this advice!" or "I bet my best friend away at college would find this useful.." or "Hmm Mom would love that recipe..." and especially this season..."Wow, good Flu-Prevention advice, everyone should try this!"  but often it would slip my mind by the next time I saw them, and I know how often mass emails are discarded without even being opened... How annoying! So I thought, why not write a blog that everyone can check out and pick/choose from the menu?! 

I'm am passionate about fitness and nutrition. It became a love affair of mine early on and has taken hold of me, now transferring into my career after college. It should be understood that the advice on my blog will stem from professional sources, and I will add my 2 cents on what has worked for me over the years.

What often motivates me to eat right or get a good workout in is OTHER PEOPLE. From a positive Facebook status about working out, to watching my boyfriend train hard every week, to seeing people fix a healthy meal. I think to myself, "Well, if they can do it, I can certainly do it!!" Seeing other people's success is so motivating, because it let's you know, IT IS POSSIBLE. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is impossible. So if this blog motivates YOU, I am absolutely thrilled! :) 

Please feel free to share comments on tricks or tips that motivate you or any feedback you may have. 

Can't wait to get this started!! :)

 

P.S. A HUGE motivator of mine is Gladiator's "Crush", MMA EliteXC fighter Gina Carano. She's a strong, fit woman, and NOT a stick figure! Her professional MMA record is 7-1. She's gorgeous, AND she can kick your ass! AWESOME!
