Hello All!

Hello everyone! Welcome to A Healthier Beautiful Life Blog!
I have another blog that I post personal things in called Beautiful Life (beautifullifekg.blogspot.com) but I wanted to do a separate blog about the lifestyle change I am doing. I am by no means "Fat" or "large".... in fact I am extremely grateful that I have a fast metabolism.. But truth is everyone can get HEALTHIER. I admit I eat fast food from time to time, drink too many Dr. Peppers, and have a love of chocolate that anyone who knows me can confirm it is quite an addiction!!! Well... Long story short I had to crazy idea to run a half marathon... Gentle and Ladymen... that is 13.1 miles. Why I decided to do it I have NO idea! But honestly I am pretty excited!! I will use this blog to write about journey to my 13.1 miles. To some people this may be stupid or a waste of time. But my hope in this blog is that I can inspire one person to make a lifestyle change of eating healthy and exercising more. If I have inspired one person to do so.... then my job is done :)

I will post ideas about meals that I am cooking, some fun tips that I have found, some workouts that I have done and enjoyed, as well as my personal progress on running 13.1 miles.

As a personal goal I have said no fast food and no Dr Peppers until my half marathon (April 29). Lets hope I can stick to it! I figured since I am training for a half marathon I might as well make a huge lifestyle change and cut out junk food and really watch what I put into my body in hopes that it makes me healthier and fit for a better 2012.

I hope my personal journey inspires you to make a healthier change in 2012. Good Luck everybody!! I hope to hear about your progress as well!
XOXO
