Hey B.A.D. Girls!
Wow! I really had to dust off the cobwebs on my WordPress account. They have made a ton of changes since I posted last year. Yikes!
I’ve been MIA from not only the blog but real life too. I made the decision to make 2015 more about ME. I needed to take a time out and really focus on what I could do to feel good about myself and where I am at in life at the moment.
So I’ve decided to make changes and I thought I would share some of them with you all.
1. Hair. I chopped it short last September and then decided to add in some color. So I went with purple over my usual caramel/blonde highlight color. I’ve always been a plain jane when it comes to my hair so it being purple makes me so damn happy.
2. Travel. I always say I want to see the world, but then it never happens. This year I am finally crossing off a travel destination from my bucket list and I am visiting California! I am also going to Coachella and may have a heart attack in the dessert heat once you add DRAKE into that equation. I cant freaking wait!
3. Fitness. On January 19th I embarked on one of the best decisions of my life and started the Katy Hearn 8 week fitness challenge. The program has me in the gym 5 days a week doing weight training and cardio. I haven’t missed one workout yet. I am currently in my last week of the challenge and my legs/glutes are so sore as I sit here and type this, but the pain has become an addiction. I plan on doing a complete post dedicated to this so stay tuned!
4. Nutrition. The fitness challenge has also introduced me to a new way of eating commonly referred to as flexible dieting or IIFYM. Before I started the challenge I thought I ate pretty okay. I was used to eating fairly healthy being that I made a conscious effort not to put (too much) crap into my body and I only drank water. However, what I was doing wrong included eating way too little and not eating nutritiously balanced meals. In order to see fitness/weight loss results you need a well balanced diet and this was my missing puzzle piece for so long.
So that’s what I have been up to lately. Expect regular posts and an all new site very soon!
How is your 2015 going so far?!

P.S. Big shout-out to my gym partner, my sister Nina, who I wouldn’t have been able to makes these changes without. ILY.
