I have decided to make 2014 a year of Focus & Intention.
FOCUS & INTENTION: a year of planned center of interest
I was at the end of a great yoga class when it all came clear what I needed to dedicate this year to. I started by reconstructing this blog. I originally had these grand plans to share my life with the web…then I realized that probably wasn’t a great idea and found I was posting mostly about my trials in the health and nutrition world. I took the intention of ‘sharing life’ and focused it on one aspect of my life, and actually something I struggle with everyday and have since I was a teenager. I came up with the idea of dedicating a year to a practice while reading my friend, Elisa Doucette’s, blog. Which I highly encourage you to check out!
I am currently studying to be a nutritionist (ideally a registered dietitian…someday ;)). It therefore makes perfect sense to open this blog to my own struggles and successes in my journey to the ideal health and fitness goals for me. I hope to educate you as I learn and with appropriate citations and links to helpful information while entertaining you with my own experiences in health and wellness. Who knows maybe some fabulous workout video blogging is in our future! Lets not jump too far ahead of ourselves though. 🙂 Now that I am kicking off the new year right, I hope I can find such clear focus and intention in the rest of my life!
I would like to add a quick fitness update that since the 2nd I have missed only one day at the gym and that was the 4th because my in laws were visiting. 😉 I am addicted to the YMCA classes and am having fun trying them all! My bad eating habits are not yet broken, but a work in progress. I have mended my daytime diet but still find a glass of wine and a sweet tooth kick my butt in the evening. Working on that. Hoping the Cabbage Soup Diet next week will curb my sweet appetite and give my tummy a clean slate to healthy food habits. More on that to come. I need to get off the computer and busy with some chores and caught up with work. 🙂
Perhaps someday this will grow to be one of your own resources and expand to include more of my original visions; for now have fun and get fit AphroditeMom style!
