In preparation of my trip to Oregon and with encouragement from my sister Trish, I have decided to start blogging about a change in my lifestyle. I am going to make a strong effort to live healthy. Now, I know I have tried this before and have always reverted back to unhealthy things, but if I don't keep trying I will never succeed.
Does this mean that I am giving up all plastic and will only eat eggs from a farm that gives it's chickens spa treatments, or that I will go to the farm that raises my beef and make sure that my cow is treated okay and thank it in advance for the nutrients I will get from it's life? No, but I can make vow to not eat McDonalds ever again and limit eating out to special occasions and fun with friends. It means that I can make a trip to a grocery store that promotes and inspires healthy living once a week, and try to make healthy foods easily available to myself. It means that I can start a healthy fitness routine. It means a lot.
I will still drink my coffee, watch my favorite shows, use plastic wrap at times, wear deodorant, and even play on my IPhone, but I am not a slave to any of those things. (except the deodorant, Texas summers are brutal)
I have 39 days of summer left and I plan to enjoy them, that means not making plans every day, not volunteering for things that will constrain my time, (don't worry I volunteer for plenty during the school year) just hanging out with friends and family, reading, relaxing, and even doing a little work (believe it or not this is something I enjoy doing).
I have realized that for this to really work I need to do for myself, my way, and in my time. So, if you have other plans for how I should be living my life...delete them. :)

But the cow might also like to see who will be eating it later...And our chickens don't get spa treatments, or else we wouldn't have poop on the eggs!
Love, and can't wait to see you!
