New Year. New You……

After we all ring in 2015 with family and friends, I’m sure many of us will begin our new year resolutions or goals.

I thought this would be a perfect time to start writing my blog because I wanted to create a realist perspective on food and fitness.  I used to set the following new year resolutions for myself:  I am going to workout EVERY SINGLE DAY.  I am going to only eat whole natural foods.  Candy or sweets only once a week.  Never ever drinking again (Ha!).

In a week or two I would realize i did not make realistic new year resolutions and I would give up.  So this year, 2015 I advise you to not make a ‘resolution’ but make a lifestyle change or commitment to yourself to take better care of your body and/or educate yourself on food, nutrition, and fitness.  And I myself will do the same.

I am just an average woman and this blog is designed so you know that you don’t have to eat paleo, be all natural, or holistic to live a healthy lifestyle.  I want to show you some fitness fundamentals for strength, workouts, and some of my favorite recipes.  But don’t worry, I will not only be posting my favorite healthy meals, but also my favorite indulgences as well.  I could never live without cookies and cupcakes because I love spending the time in the kitchen baking them and they taste so freakin’ good!  I want you to know that you don’t need to deprive yourself to be healthy, just know all about moderation.

Happy New Year!  I look forward to sharing my life with you!
