Beginning

Here goes a blog. I thought I would try this since I love to write, and perhaps someone will find what I have to say helpful or inspiring or maybe I'll even make someone laugh! I think it will be mostly serious because those tend to be the thoughts that go through my head.

Today I am feeling refreshed and hopeful. I love the feeling of having something daunting ahead of me and then working as hard as I can at it. That is where I am today in many ways. I have been married for two months and I think you could call it daunting. It takes so much to make it work. But it is wild and crazy and exciting and wonderful and better than anything I could have ever dreamed of. It is a thrilling adventure and I feel as if I've just begun to dip my toes into the ocean of fulfillment and wonder that life becomes when you spend it with your soulmate. I am feeling refreshed because of how far we have come together already and how far we have yet to go.

Another daunting task ahead: getting in shape, losing weight, making a permanent healthy lifestyle. At the end of the day, I just want to come home and put my feet up and be a couch potato. But instead, I've been going to the gym and pushing myself really hard. For the first time in my life, I am eating EXTREMELY healthy and sticking to it! For the first time in my life, I am taking all kinds of vitamins and starting to feel great. To stick with all of this seems daunting...but I am loving it.

I wish I could write more, but I can't hold my eyes open any longer. Blessings and Peace!

  2. My motivation for a healthy lifestyle includes: the way I look in the mirror, not being able to fit into my clothes, feeling sluggish all the time, and I just generally want to be healthy. Also thinking about the future and raising and family and knowing I don't want to raise an unhealthy family. I hope that helps! If you need more specific tips, such as what to eat, exercise, etc., I would be glad to tell you what I am doing (and it's working!) :)
