Fitness Tips

When I first started to the gym or my daily run, I hated it. It can be really hard at first to get motivated to exercise and eat healthy! When people ask me how to stay motivated here is what I tell them:

• ·      Make goals for yourself. Start off small! Maybe going to the gym twice a week or going for a run every other day.
• ·     When you start running, go slowly. Don’t push yourself.
• ·      Find a friend or a family member to go with you, they can encourage you!
• ·      Make an awesome playlist for when you go to exercise, spotify also has some really great stations.
• ·      Blog/tweet/facebook about it! This is an amazing way to find others who feel the same way you do and it can even help yourself.
• ·      Don’t choose a day to do it and then keep pushing it back! This was one of my first mistakes. There will never be a perfect day to get fit, just start now.
• ·      DON’T use a scale everyday. Water weight and muscles can make a big difference in numbers. I suggest taking pictures from start to finish and weighing in once a week.
• ·      NEVER give up. So you were too busy to go to the gym today, go tomorrow. You went to a birthday party and ate 2 pieces of cake, it happens to the best of us!
• ·      It is perfectly fine to treat yourself once in a while. Once a week get a Grande Frap from Starbucks or an everything bagel. Everyone needs a break once in a while, just don’t go overboard when you do decide to treat yourself. (Plus it could speed up your metabolism.)
• ·      The last tip is to reward your goals, this time I am not talking about food. If you ran everyday and lost 5 pounds then go shopping! If I do well then I will go buy workout clothes, maybe a new water bottle, or even that new eye shadow palette from Sephora.
• ·      No matter what, keep up the good work! Once you start exercising and seeing a difference you wont want to stop. Just make sure you are eating healthy and loosing weight the right way!

  Until Next Time

More about me

In the future I will probably make more posts about fitness, fashion, makeup, eating healthy, etc. Currently I am not in Charleston, I am back in Kentucky for a short time for a few celebrations. So this post will be a little bit more about myself, hopefully it's not to boring. So like I said in the first post I don't know what I want to Major in which is a big problem since I have to declare soon! I am considering business, Law, or something to do with fitness. Part of the reason that I moved to SC was to find myself without worrying about influences from family or friends. 

I am also thinking about making a moving guide because I know how hard it is to pack everything up and move, believe me I've been there. 

The reason that I want to go into business is because in high school I took marketing all four years and got a certificate in it. I love the aspect of business and marketing. If I did go into business I would either get a degree in marketing and economics. I've always loved politics and law so I am thinking maybe law school? I also have a love for Fitness so I have thought about being a dietitian. The last thought is to become a event planner. I have so many things that I want to be and I can't just choose one! It is so frustrating haha! 

On a lighter subject I love crime shows! They are my addiction! Currently Criminal Minds is my favorite! Doctor Reid is the love of my life. I will name my future dog after him. I LOVE seafood. I am also a Pescatarian or a vegetarian that eats seafood! I hope to one day become a full vegetarian but I have a hard time giving up salmon and ship, my favorites ;) I like 80's and 90's music. My favorite Lilly pattern is POP. I wish I could eat holiday candy year-round. Makeup used to be one of my biggest passions but I don't wear as much anymore. I love using technology but I am super bad at it.

Until next time,

P.S If you want more than check out my website: preppymusing.com as of now it's fairly new but I promise there will be much more updates soon! 

Intro

Hey all! I am totally new to blogging but I thought that It would be a fun stress reliever! Let me introduce myself, my name is Danielle and I currently located in Charleston Sc! I've lived her for a short while but I was born and raised in Kentucky.

I love photography, crime shows, and I am a pescetarian (or a vegetarian that eats seafood.) I hope to one day be a full time vegetarian. I love all things fitness and eating healthy. I currently don't know what I want to major in but I am thinking about law school. I started off wanting to go into fashion merchandising but after the first year of college I've changed my mind. I am considering business, crime, or becoming a dietician. I also love music, long car rides, and traveling.

The more I type the more I feel like I am making a dating profile. Whoops! This blog will be filled with random thoughts, happy memories, and the occasional (or more like frequent) embarrassing stories of what happens to me.

I love life and being happy, which might sound totally cheesy but it's true. When I lived in Kentucky I went through a period of self doubt but now that I am in South Carolina I have never been happier! I am excited to share what goes on in my life with whoever is reading this and I promise it will be worth your time!

Until next time
