Perfection

The idea of "perfect" has been on my mind recently, I've been thinking about what it really means to be perfect. Personally, I don't think there is a definition of perfect that can be written down and handed out. I know some of you are probably screaming at me saying "yes there is, its called the dictionary!"At least thats what I'm saying to my self as I read that. 

What I consider prefect is probably not what Lindsay Lohan, or Barack Obama consider to be perfect. I don't think that anyone can say what the overlying principle of perfect is. For me, it's important to know what perfect means to me, and try to strive for that. Because if I do, there is a likelihood that I will be generally happy about who I am. Perfection for me is this:

             *Being Healthy; mentally and physically

             *Being happy; with how I look and how I feel and what I am doing with my life

             *Being honest; with others and my self

For me, it is so important to be honest with my self. If I'm not honest with my self, how can I be healthy or happy? I think we all have our different opinions of what perfect is to each of us, I encourage you to write those ideas down in a familiar place you see every day (your mirror, your phone, computer, etc...) and try to strive for those aspects, so you know that your not being perfect for other people, but for yourself. If you want to, I would love to hear what your definitions of perfect are! share them in the comments below!

Breaking Bounderies

Why is it that as a society we have this overall view of who large women are "supposed to be"? That they shouldn't be working in fashion or any public place where they're body is seen, or they get bombarded with stares and secretive comments? This happens all the time, it's happened to me plenty of times, if you have a problem with how I look or what I wear I would much prefer you to come up to me and voice your opinion instead of whispering it in secret like a bully and a coward. Our country prides it's self on being a "fit" and "health conscious" nation, but we use that as a front. When we really should be education children from elementary level on how to properly care for their body and health, through nutrition and consistent, habit forming excersize. Excersize shouldn't be a task, it should be second nature. The small simple things can change your life, you can park farther away in a parking lot, or instead of rewarding your child with food, reward them with something healthy from an early age to help form that habit.
When I feel like I deserve a reward, my mind immediately goes for candy, or a movie. When a salad or taking a walk with my dog is much more rewarding and makes me feel better. We as a society need to stop criticizing people for their apperance, and start encouraging them to be healthy. Obviously, someone can't form permanent habits for anyone but them selves, but one little complement can completely change how a person feels about them selves. I am going to challenge all of you to find someone, and ask them to go on a walk with you. Invite them to dinner, and only serve organic food, or just tell someone they look good. I promise you, it will change their day. It might even change their life.

Work it out, Working out

Hi everyone!
I wanted to blog about working out today. I am absolutely in love with it! I work out at least 6 days a week for an hour. The first week was absolute hell, I was so sore that I couldn't even move. Walking to the bathroom was painful, let alone going the next day to work out even more, it was hard to even think about. But I pushed my self, and got through it, and now if I'm not at the gym monday through thursday at 6 pm, then I start getting nervous! Working out is becoming habitual, which in the long run, is a very useful tool.
My favorite part of working out is feeling the burn in your muscles after weight lifting, or running. If someone told me 2 months ago that I would be working out 6 out of 7 days of the week, I would have laughed in their face. My point is, that ANYONE can change their life, if you truly have the motivation and drive, anything is possible. There is a quote that I believe represents exactly what I'm going through:
"Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change."
-Anthony Robbins


Thank you guys for reading, I'll leave you with an instagram from earlier this week, It's always intimidating walking into the weight room surrounded by men who's arms are the size of my head

Healthy Jump Start

Hi everyone!
I wanted to post about an amazing new program that I am involved in. It's at my local gym, Silver Mountain Sports club. Its called, if title wasn't revealing enough, Healthy jump start, It's very exciting. Basically, I have made a commitment to work out 6 days a week, for the first 2 weeks, I have the opportunity to work out with a trainer 4 days a week. Then I work out on my own 2 more days during the week. Over the next 6 weeks, the time I get to spend with my trainer slowly decreases, and by the end working out will be like second nature. If I loose 10 lbs by the end, I will receive great rewards, as well as everyone participating in the program. It is an amazing program and I am so excited to share my progress with you!

Redheads Rule

Hi Everyone!

This Weekend I was feeling really spontaneous, While grocery shopping I decided to buy John Ferida Precession Foam Colour in the shade 5G which is a medium golden brown.

I had an appointment at the hair stylist today, so I decided to dye it saturday night and see how I liked it, and if I Ididn't I would just get it fixed at the hair stylist. This was a pretty huge thing for me to do, because I've never gone darker than my natural color, but I'm in love! To my surprise, it actually dyed my hair an auburn/reddish brunette color. I was nervous about going to school today, but I got so many complements, that I decided to cancel my hair appointment and keep it the way it is.  I defiantly recommend this hair dye to anyone, especially first timers, because it is so simple!

Here's my new hair! I am absolutely in love with it!
