New Year, New Me...?

Okay, so I know it's been forever since I've blogged...last semester was insane for me (second semester of both organic chemistry and physics).  But you don't want to hear my excuses and I don't want to make them.  The bottom line is, I sucked at blogging.  I'm hoping to change that, starting now.

A quick little update about my life before we get started:

• My boyfriend and I, the one I met on tinder, have been dating for 11 months today.

• He left for his first deployment on Saturday, January 17th for 193 days (I swear I'm not crazy, those are just the official orders).

•  I just started my 6th semester at the U of A as a nutritional sciences major.

• I still work at the gym on campus, training to become a supervisor.

• After a really rough last semester, I'm working on getting my health back to a comfortable state.  

I'm not one to make New Year's Resolutions because I know how [un]likely I am to stick to them.  However, this year (I swear it's been going on, I'm just a month late in writing about it!), I want to dedicate myself to, well, myself.  I'm trying to become more healthy, not only in regards to my body, but my mind as well.  I want to do better in school, straighten out in my fitness journey, and just become a happier person overall.

My goals for the year to come:

• Blog at least a couple times every week.

• Drop my body fat percentage.

• Study and become a CPT (Certified Personal Trainer).

• Shadow a Physical Therapist. 

• Become a healthier, happier person; one step at a time.

I don't consider any of these bullets something that's on a "To Do List", but simply a record of what is going to happen in my life in the upcoming year. I hope you all can forgive me for being so absent, and can continue to stay with me on this journey!

 Do you have any New Year's Resolutions? What are they?
