Raw, Refreshed, and Coming Back

SO where have I been.


That is a good question, one that I myself am not sure where to begin to answer. I have been busy, preoccupied, maybe a little stressed.

I could sit here and say I have been all these things, and I wouldn't be lying. I have been busy, daily distractions are ant inevitable part of my reality, and the stress of school and life in general have been a little extra consuming in the past months.

But the real truth; the real reason behind my MIA status since December, boils down to the fact that I have changed.

Change is a part of life that we must all except. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason for it, poking into our lives with no warnings. And yet sometimes, it can be the best thing to happen to us.

I have changed a lot in the past few months. I grew up a little more, my mind opened, and my goals and aspirations shifted. I have new perspectives on food, on fitness, on what it means to live a 'healthy' lifestyle.

I took a step back from blogging because I was no longer convinced that I was portraying a life that mirrored reality. I wanted my blog to represent a healthy girl eating an optimal nutritious plant based diet, exercising regularly, and living a stress-free life that was vivid in color and light.

In reality, it was far from the rainbows and butterflies I was trying to make it out to be. I wasn't getting the proper nutrition my body needed, I was over exercising which was causing my body too much stress, and I was lost and confused.

In reality I was a freshman in college in a new city, living in a dorm, rushing and stressing around to keep my blogging life a secret to everyone that I met.  So I stepped away, and cleared myself of the worry to have to commit to something that I had reservations about.

Now I can say I am finding myself again. And my relationship with food, training, and overall health have changed tremendously. I am still learning everyday, but I am excited for this change, and in all honesty, it is something I wouldn't want any other way.

I want to re-begin this journey, of sharing my passion to living a healthy lifestyle. But I want it to be more real, and balanced, and genuine.

SO here is to another go....[ stay tuned ;) ]
