Motivation

Yes, it has been too long.

There really hasn't been anything too exciting going on, just the usual classes at ASU, Zumba, and spending time with family and friends. Not many updates there!

But on another note, I decided to make my posts themed. I wanted to try something a little different rather than talk about my not entirely exciting life so thats how themes came up. I will most likely stick to health, fitness, things I like, but they will all have a general idea. 

So starting today with motivation. Sometimes in order to get where we want to be we need a little help, a little spark. I came across some amazing motivational pictures that I swear will get you off your butt and moving. It is so important to live a healthy life and take care of yourself. That doesn't mean you can never have that favorite candy bar or meal, it just means that 5 days a week you make healthy choices. Being healthy isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle. We all know how to eat healthy but next step is to choose to. I promise that you can do it. We all can! It's all about mind strength and how badly we want it.  You feel so amazing after eating healthy that going back to those bad foods actually makes you feel terrible. You train your mind and your body to want the healthy choice over the uhealthy choice. BUT don't crash diet, don't starve yourself, allow yourself a reward every now and BE healthy. It isn't hard but it's different, it's something we aren't accustomed to but our bodies understand and the results will come. Stay focused, be positive, make healthy choices, and see results. 


Here are some things that help me keep going. I'm not saying lets all be perfect, trust me I have cheat days and times where it gets hard, but I will always continue to try HARD.

Chase and Leah to the rescue!

Today while driving home from lunch on Val Vista and Elliot we noticed a dog crossing the huge street and not one of the cars were stopping for him! I was SO worried about him! So I told Chase we had to help him so he doesn't get hit, so we pulled over and parked the car, Chase took the wheel to help follow him and I got out and ran after him. He was at this point just SITTING there in the middle of the road! So finally I chased him into this church parking lot and Chase pulled up in the truck and got out and helped me run after him. He finally got so tired that he was done running and we called the number on his collar and got him safely home.

It's so sad that NO one else was trying to help this poor little dog or that they weren't even slowing down for him. Chase and I have saved so many dogs from the street, its like our thing. :D I'd like to think that if ever we were in a situation where an animal of ours got out, someone would help us retrieve them.

Here is the type of dog he was...His name was Morris! He was so cute with his little short legs!Other than that little fiasco, today has been really great! I woke up and went to a great core and Zumba class with one of my favorite instructors, Lisa. She always kicks my butt! Her and Amanda whew...they give workouts like you wouldn't believe! So after doing that crazy workout, I had to go chase a dog...yeah, that was kind of hard being sore and all.

But tonight is going to be so much fun! We are going to see the comedian Pablo Fransisco out in Phoenix; Me, Chase, my Mom and Dad, Ashley and Jonny! It's going to be a great night :)

I'm back!

I have recently decided to start posting blogs again after seeing so many of my friends creating them, I thought I'd start back up. Not that when I started a couple years ago I was that into it, but it can still be a fun thing to do.

Today is a GREAT day! I have no work today, I took the day off from working out and for my moms birthday we are going to Thunder Down Under tonight to see some sexy guys! And we're going to Outback Steakhouse first to have an Austrailian themed night haha. (That was Chase's mom Angel's idea btw) Hopefully, Liana and I will be able to get in :D Cross your fingers! Other than this exciting night we have planned, my day will consist of me relaxing and cleaning around the apartment (p.s. if you don't know me, I have a mini obsession with cleaning so its actually quite relaxing to me). Alright well I'll keep it short and sweet for now. More to come soon!

<3 :)
