My Purpose For Blogging

Ever met a person who loves chocolate and donuts so much that "chocolate donuts" was their first words? Yep, that's me (slight exaggeration of course...and by slight, I mean SLIGHT).

Ever met a person who hates to exercise? Who was in absolutely no sports whatsoever in school? Who begged their PE teacher every day to let them sit out? Yep, that's me too.

Ever met a perfectionist with a stressful job that works long hours and has little time for themselves or the things they love? Yep, also me.

I LOVE sweets, I HATE working out, and I have a lot of stress in my life. This is a bad combination. Well, I've passed my mid 20's and that metabolism started slowing a few years ago, so bad lifestyle habits that I was able to get away with in high school and college are no longer an option. I have recently discovered that I need to make some changes in my life if I am going to live to the fullest.

I decided to start this blog after reading the first chapter of Joyce Meyer's book, "Never give up". I was quickly giving up on being a healthy person by what I ate, my lack of exercise, and the amount of stress I allowed in my life. If any of this sounds like you, I hope my blog will help you as well.

This blog was a promise to myself. I decided to start blogging again because it is good for your soul and helps you to keep your thoughts in order. It also helps those that you love stay informed about your journey and about the topics you choose to discuss. Thank you for reading, and I hope that you will enjoy my journey, and that it helps you in your journey as well!
