A Little About Me

My name's Melody, I just turned 22 and recently graduated with my BS in Agricultural Economics. I'm currently in the job searching stage of my life, with absolutely no idea of what I want to be when I grow up. I have an amazing boyfriend, my hunky dunky marine :). We've only been together for a short period of time, but I'm pretty sure he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

 

 

I have a passion for animals and guns--great combo, right? My aggie doodle is a 5 year old German Shepherd and I love her with everything I have. I also have another two German Shepherds, Binny and Jet (Benny & the Jets? I love the song, what can I say :/). I love interior decorating, enjoying some good music or an attention grabbing movie. Wine and chocolate are my best friends and I love nerdy number and word puzzles.

My whole life I was drastically overweight, until a year ago. I made a decision to change everything I learned and felt throughout my life and be positive. It's no easy feat, and I struggle quite a bit, but I believe it's changed my life in words I can't even express. Through loads of research and investigation, I learned how to fuel my body and turn it into a machine--one that I'm slowly beginning to fall in love with. I've hit rough patches time and time again, currently stuck in one that I'm pushing to get through. This is the reason I wanted to start this blog.

I hope through journaling my life and struggle, I can motivate and/or help at least one person out there. Personally, I had no knowledge of healthy eating or how to exercise before doing the extensive research and maybe I can make the journey for someone else that much easier. It's just so happens that while fulfilling that, I can also motivate and encourage myself. Health and fitness has become my passion, something that I love discussing with people and exploring. I hope someday it can be yours as well.

Wishing you health & Happiness,
Melli =]
