A little catch up

Apologies for not being as attentive to my blog, as I would like to be lately. 

Last week I moved back to school in order to take a winter marketing class. Yeah, I only had a three week vacation from classes but that was enough for me. I have grown to like being on a set schedule and actually having things to do. 

Woah am I changing into an adult?!

And I mean maybe my new Mac desktop has something to do with my days being so productive. Just having a new updated computer, especially moving from a PC to a Mac, makes everything so much more awesome! You don't know how many random lists i've made just because I like using the new pages app. Not complaining though, i've been getting so many random little things done that i've needed to for awhile. 

I even began constructing my online photography portfolio, that I have always been too preoccupied to do. Its taking a little while to go through all the photos I want to add, touch them up and then actually make the website. But this is what I like to do, so the extensive amount of time spent on it, doesn't bother me. 

So basically I'm kinda sorta in love with this computer. She's a beaut!

Besides playing with the new computer, I've just been trying to get through the days. 

Mother Nature finally pronounced it to be winter and its absolutely freezing outside. My allergies decided to have the dial turned up to extreme this winter, its been a little rough. And of course, dealing with the girly problems of being pale, and having dry skin. 

Lately, my mood is just blah. Ya know the one, where you just don't feel like doing anything or going anywhere and you just want to stay curled up in your warm bed. Winter just stinks and is too cold for my liking. 

This is an appropriate time to use the oh so famous -_____- face to show my emotions. 

I don't do cold weather and thats why I need to move somewhere south. I need my warm sunny days to last all year, not just 6 or 7 months. Winter just isn't my season.

Writing is a fantastic outlet. A trip to the store might be happening tomorrow in order to get a journal.  

Oh yea, so I started the Shaun T- Insanity workout videos today. Its a month long program containing a 40 min daily workout. Boy is it intense! I completed the first month last winter and felt fantastic after. There are only 66 more days until round 2 of spring break in Panama City, Florida, so I need to start getting my butt up and working out.

Ill be sure to update you all through out the month on my progress. Fingers crossed I survive the intense month long workout one more time!

I just want to say that writing is a fantastic outlet. A trip to the store might be made tomorrow to pick up a journal.

The 2014 Plan

Looking back, 2013 was an unforgettable year filled with good memories. Granted it wouldn't have been nearly as great if I didn't have the people in my life that I do today.

Isn't it crazy how we can look back a year ago and realize how much everything has changed. The amount of people that have left your life, entered and stayed. The memories you won't forget and the moments you wish you did. Its crazy to think that so much can happen over a year. 

You are always growing and experiences never stop. Thats life.

I have been thinking long and hard about this upcoming year and what I would like to happen with it. I never really make resolutions for the new year because I know, like most people, Im never going to follow through. 

But I have a good feeling about this upcoming year, so resolutions will be made and I will try my best to stick with them.

So here is my plan people! 

+Do all the things left undone; especially the things that make my heart sing. 

+Smile more. Laugh more. Have more fun.

+Give & accept compliments. 

+Stop beating myself up for skipping the gym on days I truly don’t have time. But also, stop     skipping the gym on days I had plenty of time to go.

+Rid myself of enemies. Apologize to where it is needed and forgive the ones you who did you wrong.

+Obtain a new pattern of thoughts. Radiate positivity. 

+ Quit worrying and just let go.

+Conquer a fear

+Create a new belief system in myself. 

+Speak in such a way that others love to listen to. Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.

+Read more books. Use less technology.

+Take better care of myself. Create and stick to a routine.

+Live more from intention and less from habit.

+Show less insecurity, weakness, ignorance and ungratefulness. Be more trusting, confident, understanding and grateful.

+Be inspired and become an inspiration to others. 

+Work hard. Finish my last year of college on good terms. 

Im going to make it happen this year. 

I am thankful for a new year and a new beginning for a new me. For new adventures and new experiences. For being given the chance to forget past mistakes and rid myself of negativity. For a year to focus on all of the positive things life offers. For the ability to create new friendships. For another year to overcome my insecurities and believe in myself.

This is my time to shine and be comfortable in my own skin. Im ready to live my best active life.

READY, SET....GO! There is still so much to be done, don't lose sight.
