Hello there

Hey everyone!


So...it's been a bit. Only a bit...

It's been over a year.

Over a year of not writing, not really running, and just sorta forgetting about this blog.


I'm sure none of you have missed it but I came across one of my old post during a Facebook memories session and I realized that I do miss it; I miss blogging.  And I am starting a new healthy living/exercise thing and I thought maybe people would be interested in hearing my opinion on it etc.


Also, it will probably keep me more honest.

So, first things first:  while 2016 had absolutely no races at all, 2017 has at least 1 and possibly another in November.  Plus I am working on a documentary.  And am currently in two shows.  And attending 3 weddings in the next year.

So...I'm not busy at all :P

But I decided earlier December 2016 that with me turning 27 (which is not old but for some reason that age just holds something for me) I decided I was going to start getting healthier and learning to love my body more.

Let me explain:

I like being strong and being a runner and all of the benefits that come from being healthy; but I know that I CANNOT cut out foods from my life...it won't work.  I'll binge later or just not care and that's how I got to the shape I am in now (which isn't super bad...just more fluffy).  And it had gotten too cold to go running outside (or I was too out of practice...anyways).  But we have these stairs at work and I decided that if it was too cold to work out outside...I'd just bring the workout to the inside. 

My new gym

It has been interesting to say the least; I have found 5 good workout plans on Pintrest that I'm liking so far and I've been at it for a total of two weeks; not very long but a start since my job is nothing but sitting down now.  My co-workers seem impressed and while I'm doing it for me, the ego boost is definitely welcomed.  I'm not 100% sure what I'll do when it gets warm out but as of now I am liking how is going.

Upper body workouts got me like...ugh...

The race I am running is called Muddy Mortal and it's a Harry Potter inspired obstacle race and I am super excited (and a little nervous) because I have never done a race with obstacles before.  But if I did a half marathon I can do this! (Right?) But I am joining their little 12 week "Get Fit" program because:
1) It's free
2) It'll help me stay accountable

And I am in a couple of shows so you'll be getting updates on that as well!  But I think this post is probably long enough right now...so I'll say adieu and I promise not to wait a year to post again.

Ta-ta!
