Getting Started

My life is at a great yet confusing time. Im 18 years old trying to figure out my life and become the happiest and healthiest person I can be.

If you met me last year, you would have met a depressed, over weight teenager. Over the last year, I made it my goal to become truly happy and not regreting anything I do. Another change Ive made over the past 2 months is taking my healthy more seriously. For the past 2 months I have been eating healthy and following the insanity program. I am so happy with how my body has changed and become stronger. I have been playing competitive basketball for about 7 years and insanity has benefitted my body in ways basketball never has. Ive always been an athlete and working out was always something I did on and off during the off season but now I have become so much more dedicated and passionate about working out every day, I am so proud of how far Ive come.

The reason I made this blog is to keep track of my accomplishments and also share them and hopefully inspire some other people. I am currently taking a year off of school because when I graduated from high school I realized I had no idea of what I wanted to do with my life. Im so happy I decided to take the year off because it gave me time to focus on myself and clarify my passions in life. When I applied to universities last year I applied to all business programs just because it runs in my family. This year I decided to apply to psychology and more specifically sport psychology programs. There is only one school in the province I live in that has a sport psychology program and I am hoping and praying I get accepted. I would love to be able to inspire and motivate athletes to become the best athletes and people they can be. I want to make an impact on people's lives and make them realize the beauty of life. Everyone is so caught up in stress and decisions that they dont take the time to see the little things in life.

In this blog I am hoping to share some of my interests and tips & tricks. I love sports, makeup, fitness, music (country is my fav!!) and cooking! So I hope you enjoy it!
