Good Morning to everyone!

It's crazy that it's almost November!
Where has this year gone to?  It's been a heck of a year, but I'm more than ready to see what 2013 has to offer, since 2012 was one of the best years yet!

I've been packing my bags for Arkansas. I'm leaving on Thursday and getting back on Monday.  I am SO thankful for this mini vacation.  One of my cousins are getting married to the love of her life, and I am SO EXCITED to see how beautiful she's going to look!
This is the first wedding I've been to for a family member, so that makes me happy for more.
Plus, I only get to see my family once, maybe twice a year if I am lucky.  So, this is going to be fun.

Arkansas is completely flat.
There is one hill in like a 235809583459 mile radius, and that just so happens to be the levee around the town my grandparents live.  So, you best bet I am going to take advantage of running their flat land instead of running all the hills and MOUNTAINS here in West Virginia. haha.


Anyways, we all have inspiration.  My inspiration just to happens to be Courtney Prather.  She graduated from follege, and until recently, she's held a 9-5 desk job as a manager of a Hilton Hotel chain.
If anyone knows about being busy, it would be her.
But despite working 8 hour days and the normal hoopdaloo of a normal life, she still found time to eat healthy and train hard.
Which means, we all can.
I was reading a post of hers, and I hope you find this as encouraging as I did!

Never compare your behind-the scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.
I need to wrap this up. I have so much to do!
Talk to you guys later!

It's a new me

Sometimes life throws you curve balls that you won't understand until later.
It usually hurts like hell at first, but we all get over it eventually and learn to realize that better things are coming.
Thankfully, that is exactly what has happened to me.

I've gotten rid of a bunch of negativity in my life and I am a whole new person!
I won't go into the details.  Just understand that I could not be happier!

I'm so excited to see where my life takes me now!
I've finally realized that money and stress is worth nothing more but a grain of sand.
Thus being said, I've decided to do what makes ME happy. This applies to nearly every aspect of my life.  I'm more excited to say that I switched my major from Nursing, to a degree with a fitness and exercise science concentration.  I would LOVE to have a minor in health and nutrition, but I switched this semester, and I don't think I'll have the time to take another 18 credit hours.  That's always something I can go back for later! (;

Continuing on, I have been over whelmed with so many things in the past year of my life that I have lost track of myself. I would set goals for myself; Run my first 10k,set a date for my first bikini competition, clean eat for the next month.  But for some reason, all the stress would tell me, "You have to much to do tonight, you don't need to go for a run", "it's okay, you can have that fourth piece of fried chicken."

I have now surrounded myself with an amazing family, friends, and a boyfriend who wants nothing more than for me to be happy.  Which is why I am now realizing I don't have to do things to make other people happy.  When you surround yourself with people who love you, for you, you can do what makes YOU happy.  What an amazing feeling.

Throughout all the stress and anxiety I have accumulated over the past year or so, I still have keep active and watched what I've put into my body.  That's just me though.  You only have one body, so you better take care of it!

We all Won first place medals!

I'm more than ready to pursue my dreams of competing in my first bikini competition.
Lord knows I've been reading about them for the past two years.  I'm actually quite embarrassed I've talked about it for so long and haven't been able to come through with what I've set out to do!
This is the reason I am FINALLY telling people about this blog I've had for so long. I am now READY to show you guys what makes me happy!  I know with all the amazing friends I have, y'all will push me through it when times do get hard.

So, I'm Krysta.
&& This is the new me!
