a much needed post.

okay guys. i've been meaning to post this for a long time, but never did because, well, admitting your weakness's to over 100 people isnt on my top 10, but now that i'm dead serious, i have no other choice. :) did you ever hear that quote, "A goal not written down, is only a wish."? well ive heard it, and as to most things, i believed that it didn't pertain to me (ha.) i wanted to start this resolution in january, but i wasn't mentally prepared to start. i realize that now, more than ever, that everyone has their own goals they want to achieve, but never have. what is yours?

okay, so for the first time in my life, i want to talk about weight..with all of you. on here, and only on here. so heres my story, i've been wanting to feel happier about myself for a long time.  i got a personal trainer last year around this time, and it was great for a little while, i loved it, but then i moved to rexburg for school and got out of my routine and haven't gotten back into it since then. then i met wade and he liked me the way i was and i'm a fairly confident person and didn't feel the need to change for anyone.(talk about a run on sentence).. but lately, i've realized this: if i dont change for myself, i wont ever change.. nope nope. i found this blog post a while ago and it got me thinking, i could do this. but then, forgot about it, and now realizing that post right there has collected all my thoughts for what i'm writing now.

so, with that being said, i'm posting this on my blog. to help motivate myself, by writing it down. and not only writing it down for myself, but writing it so that everyone can see that i'm really serious about this. i want to feel happier about myself and have more energy. i love to playing sports and being active! i just need to do it more, and get up and do it! i'm not setting a specific weight loss goal, because thats not my main focus (but hoping that comes along with) being happy & healthy.  i'll track my progress, for the most part, but i just need everyone's support! :]  fun workouts, healthy recipies, encouagement, ect. i started last monday after reading this blog. i have to do this, now's the time.  i've been following cute little ashley for quite sometime, but this weekly challenge has got me motivated to do it, for real this time. 

these photos are the real me, not my average pictures that i post on here (ha, not that those arent real either, but you get what i'm saying) .i was just getting back from the gym, no makeup, nothing. i'm really nervous to push that little orange publish button down there, but i know that this is  the motivation that i need, like ashley said in her blog, stop talking, start doing. what better time than now?

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.

perfect.

and so true.

so, good luck to me. and good luck to you, whatever it is that you've been thinking about this whole time you've been reading. do it.

i am.
