Hi friends! I started designing this blog a while ago (mainly as practice so I wouldn't screw up my main blog), but I decided to actually put it to use. I really like being open with all of my readers, but I don't always feel comfortable doing so on my makeup blog. I feel like my beauty blog should be a happy place void of negativity. So I decided to create a personal blog. Now I do already have a personal blog, but I decided to make a new one for a couple of reasons. The biggest reason being having control over the design of my blog. My current personal blog is with Wordpress and I really don't like how I can't customize it to my taste. Plus I no longer like the name of the blog, but I think changing it would cause too much confusion. And that my friends is how this blog was born! :)
I've been going through a lot of personal challenges and have been neglecting my beauty blog. I really want to get back into it and am in the process of planning new posts! In the meantime, I wanted to start blogging my personal journey. With everything going on I decided that I wanted to take back control of at least one aspect of my life. Something that I could directly impact and affect the outcome. That aspect is my health. I really want to lose weight and become a healthier woman. I bought a gym membership in October and recently started to go with my husband. I also started taking pole fit classes! Let me tell you..it's so much fun!
I signed up for a challenge called "45 Day Cute Camp Challenge." It's a challenge at a local studio encouraging woman to pursue an active healthy lifestyle. Every 2 weeks we weigh-in to track our progress. We use an app called My Fitness Pal to track our food intake during the day (let's be friends: neyav1090). We go to at least 2 classes a week and we do a 15 minute workout at home each day.
Today was our first weigh-in. I was pretty scared to step on the scale, but I'm glad I did. Tomorrow is the first official day of the challenge. I hope to blog often during the next 45 days to share my progress with you. I'm too scared to post before pics, but I'm hoping I'll overcome that fear and post some eventually. I hope you stick around for the craziness of my life! Talk to you soon! :)
