Here's to the beginning

Though it may be a bit cliche to begin a "fitness/health/better-me blog" starting off the new year, but in all honesty, why not?

If you know anything about me, which I am going to assume that you don't, I have always been into physical-fitness. Though, within the last year I haven't been as "active" as I have always been, in my defense, 2012 was B-U-S-Y! Long story short, I got engaged, married to the love of my life, moved out to the East Coast for six months, and now I have moved back to the Midwest to finish up my B.A. degree in Public Relations. 

However, though I enjoy being fit and healthy, I do have a weakness. 

Sweets. 

Okay, not just sweets, salty foods too. Alright fine, I love food. 

That is another reason why I am in the place that I have found myself wallowing - exactly why I titled this blog All I Wanted Was Some Cake. I like cake - a lot. And I see that it is time to make some permanent changes.

Now, it is time for me to whip myself back into shape and get back to my healthy and active lifestyle. With that said, I do have some goals for myself.

  GOALS

1. Do 3 FULL pull-ups (no band)
2. 5 Hand stand push-ups RX
3. Strengthen my core
4. Reshape and sculpt my entire body
5. Regain and strengthen my overall wellness.

I do not think that my goals are unrealistic, and I am ready to take the steps necessary to meet them - even if it is waking up at 5 a.m. before my 45 minute commute to school. 

What to expect from my posts:

I will be posting my progress, meals, recipes, workouts, pictures, measurements, and videos/evidence of the goals that I meet. I will post as often as I can, as I will be a full time student deep in my senior year of college; therefore, time isn't going to be my friend. However, I will be posting as often as I  able, which will(hopefully) be - at LEAST - one post per week. 

Measurements:

Biceps:     10 3/4"

Forearm:    9"

Waste:      27 1/2"

Hips:       33 1/2"

Glutes:    38 1/2"

Thighs:     22 1/2"

Calf:       13 3/4"

Height:     5'7"

Weight:     143 lbs.

I long to redefine my genetics by proving to myself, and others, that these goals can and will be met. So, beginning tomorrow morning, I will be pressing toward the ends of which to meet my goals. 

Also, you must know that I do not feel that I am "overweight," but rather that I am discontent with where I am personally, and that I am a strong believer in that; If you want something to change, you have to take the steps, yourself, to make the changes. 

As Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over, and over again and expecting a different result."

So, I am withdrawing myself from insanity and changing. I should always be doing something in the present that will benefit my future.
