Life's Desires

I haven't blogged in a very long time...

Honestly when I started this blog it was generally for me to reach more people cause I had became a Beachbody coach. At the time I had someone instructing me what I should be posting, when, why, to whom, and how; and it kind of drained out all the fun in it.

(Note-I am no longer a Beachbody coach, I have nothing but awesome things to say about their products though) 

It not only drained the fun out of blogging but it drained my love for working out too. Instead of I want to work, it became I HAD to. 

So long story short, smart phones, and social media can not only be time consuming but it can drain your mental sanity piece by piece. Lol. 

So my goal in 2014, is start blogging more and get the focus back on my fitness/weight loss journey!!! 

Make. More. Choices. 

Stop. Existing. Start. Living. 

Later days. :) 

Deck the World

Say goodbye to November, and say...

 

If you read my previous post, you will know that today marks Day 1,  of #RandomActsofDecember 

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!

Can you feel the excitement through your computer screen?!?!?!?!

So for Day 1, I decided to do something from the comfort of my home, due to my work schedule later today. I'll update later if I end up doing another random act of kindness though.

I clicked to help fund mammograms for women in need, and you can too!!

You can sign up for them to send you daily emails reminding you to click daily. I know I signed up,  will you??

                                         Day one, and I feel like I'm off to a good start. 

#RandomActsofDecember

Tis' the season of giving...So I've decided to team up with one of my good friends Jess, over at Handmade Creativity. (Make sure you check out her blog after you're done reading) 

 

 We've been discussing ideas for awhile now, and we've finally decided that we want to do 100 "random" acts of kindness in the month of December. Don't worry folks, that's between the two of us, not each individually. So all we have to say is, watch out Northwest Ohio!! Most of the Acts will be somewhat planned out, due to them involving money and of course planning. Don't worry though, the randomness will be in who receives the kindness, so you never know if we might reach out to you. 

So look forward to a lot of kindness, love, peace and good karma flowing around Northwest Ohio from December 1-31! We've got tons of things planned from donations to gift cards to even bigger and better things in the works!

If you would like to follow us, and see what we're up to, Follow both our Facebook pages- Peace Love & Fitness and Handmade Creativity and follow us on Instagram - Me and Jess.  You can also follow along with the hashtag #RandomActsofDecember to see what we're up to. We're going to try to get pictures of as many things as we can! 

Keep your eye open, you never know when a stranger might affect your life.  

New Month

Goals for November:

Starting on Monday November 4th

Keep Trying

 

Okay, so I already failed  at my goal of blogging a few times a week...oopsie! Last week, I just wanted on my "A-game" whatsoever. 

But, I'm here. I came back, I returned. You can't get rid of me that fast.  

Anyway, I think I'm going to blog about my goals for the rest of the year, along with some goals I already have in mind for next year.

  So stay tuned, because I will be posting them shortly.  

 

We Are All Good Enough.

 

 

 

To Blog or Not To Blog?

My goal for the rest of the year 2013' is to blog 3-5x a week!! If I blog more than that, then good for me, but I really want to become a great blogger. So I need practice, lots and lots of practice. Let's start now!! 

I'll still be focusing on my weight loss/fitness journey.

Since the last time I blogged back in July, I've stopped being a Beachbody coach, I plan on returning to them sometime next year. I just couldn't afford it financially at the moment. Michelle (my significant other) finished school, and I was the only one working for 5 months, so I decided to put Beachbody on the back burner for the time being.

But, I will not stop!! Cause we won't stop... haha. Oh she's just being Miley!

Anyway...

Here's a update:

 

I'm honestly proud of myself! Picture on the left was from May 2011 @ my friends wedding. Picture on the right from October 2013!! Down 60 lbs since I started my fitness/health journey since January 2012. I've had my ups and downs, my days where I want to give up. I've had days where old habits sneak back in somehow and then I quickly show them to the door. I've had insecurities and I've had triumphs. I'm done comparing my journey to someone elses. I haven't had help from a doctor, just all myself. I've fallen in love with running and life again. While doing so I'm starting to fall in love with the person I'm meant to be.
