Blogging

I started this blog in June 2013, I am pretty sure I have the same solid 5 followers that I have had since day one, oh and my mama who just starting reading my blog. Sorry in advance to any swear words Mom, I hope you still love me, feed me and take me shopping ;)

Sometimes I go back and look at old posts. I just giggle. My first post, dear god. ha! Working That Booty. Who do I think I am??? 

Then I have some good ones where I am like 'Ya Girl You Da Bomb'. Certain Pant Size. Snacking In Your Dorm Room. 

I love that I will forever hold memories and can reflect on things that happened in my life. For example: The Color Run. My first 10K. My 10K With Catherine and Katie. My First Half! 

Since I started blogging people have reached out to me. They have told me I inspire them, they have said how proud they are of me, they have signed up for races because I inspired them to, people have asked to workout with me and more. These are all sorts of people – people I went to elementary school with, people I went to high school with, family, close friends, people I babysit for.

Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it? I am not an A+ writer. I have grammar ‘oops’. I misspell words like it is my day job. I post stupid pictures. I write one paragraph and realize I just wrote one long run-on sentence. Sometimes I babble. But then things like this happen:

The other night I was sleeping by 9:00 PM. Then at about 1:00 AM I was rolling around, needed to go to the bathroom and I always just ‘check to see if anyone texted me or called me just in case their house was on fire or if there was an emergency’. I had a text from someone I played hockey with in HS. I read it while I was half asleep and decided I would respond when I woke up. Well, my heart was so filled with joy and happiness I thought it was necessary to respond at 1:30 AM. After I responded I just couldn’t fall back asleep. I was so excited. It makes me feel so good about myself and reminds me that this is worth it.

Spending hours on blogging. It IS WORTH IT.

I absolutely love writing about my fitness journey, my struggles, my food, my life, my fashion, everything, I just love blogging!

Recently I have been thinking I want to ‘upgrade’ my blog. Change the name (?), get some tabs (About me, recipes, social media, contact me, etc.), learn more about this whole blogging thing. I just don’t know HOW.

I of course have been searching Pinterest, but that can only help a girl out so much.

If I change the name I don’t know what to change it to? If you have any ideas please share with me. I have a few ideas but I don’t want to put them out there just yet.

Why am I sharing this??

I want your suggestions! This is going to be a semi big deal because I will be spending money that could be going to my wardrobe elsewhere.

I will keep you posted with ideas!

I thought this motivational picture was perfect for this post. I want this. It is my dream to help people (it has not always been my dream, just over the past year). I want to inspire people. If I need to make myself look like a fool to encourage or inspire one person to make a healthy change it is worth it to me.

Any suggestions for a blog 'facelift' would be appreciated!!
