It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that this past year that post-grad has been pretty hard for me. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m terrible at transitions. I much prefer jumping into the next big thing, rather than waiting around for something to happen. But this year has taught me so much about what it means to wait, and wait patiently. And all the time I’ve been waiting to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing with my life has given me the ability to discover what truly makes me happy. Which, in turn, has made me realize that a lot of the way I have lived this past year has let negative thoughts, actions & choices rule my life. And I don’t want to do that anymore.

I still have a long way to go with making choices that make me happy (& happiness is a choice in itself, right?), but I’m ready to embark on living a healthier lifestyle: mentally, physically, spiritually & emotionally.

First, I’m tackling the physical aspect of living healthy. I recently became a member of the Tone It Up community (and if you don’t know what that is, I highly recommend checking those girls and what they’re doing out! They’re amazing!). It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a few years now, but I’ve always made up an excuse not to take the plunge. Long story short, with the membership I have access to hundreds of healthy recipes & workouts!  For me, this is the first positive step forward in living a physically healthy life. And really, the reason I’m sharing this with whoever decides to read it is because I’m hoping you’ll provide some sort of accountability for me.

I’m really excited about my decision to join the Tone It Up community and I know if I just stay committed, I will see positive results!
