First Blog :)

I never pictured myself being a blogger. I don't really like to talk about myself, pretty self conscious and would much rather observe someone else. So I guess the whole point of this blog is to crack my shell a little, put myself out there and not have so many walls built up around me. Let me start off by telling you a little about myself. My name is Alexa and I am 19 years old. I'm in the middle of my college career and still continuing everyday to find the right career for myself, but that's a whole story in and of itself for another time. I work in retail and pretty much hate it, I love the people I work with but the company is ridiculous. I'm a vegetarian (hopefully one day vegan) and have been for about 6 months now, absolutely love it (will write a whole blog about it later). I'm an overweight health nut. I know I know, how can that be? Well I am constantly researching and educating myself about healthy foods, nutrition, getting fit, excercise, etc. I love learning about how foods affect your body and learning about great excercises. I read all the articles and magazines and follow all the healthy people on twitter. I'm using this blog to inspire myself (and hopefully others) to live a more conscious and healthy life. To think about what I/you are putting into our bodies. To be accountable to excercise and making healthy choices. Everyday I resolve to do these things and after a couple days I always seem to fail. Maybe blogging and communicating with others who are feeling this way or are attempting to also change their lives to more healthful living will help me to stay on track. That's pretty much me and what this blog is about. Anything and everything but mostly about health and fitness.

I'm not sure exactly how all this works, how people even come across a blog that's not written by anyone famous or interesting, but if anyone happens acrossed this blog I hope you enjoy reading it and feel free to leave inspiring comments :)
