First blog post coming at ya'll in 3,2,1...

Hey Hey Hey!

Here goes nothing! I've been working on starting up this blog for quite some time now. Lemme tell yah starting up a blog is HARD work. Technology is frustrating and I am rather impatient. But, the important thing is YAH GIRL FINALLY DID IT. It’ll be worth all the frustration in the end though, no doubt in my mind.

Alright, so I guess this first blog post is mainly a way to get things rolling. I'm not going to explain too much about myself or why I am starting this blog because you can read all about that on the Home/Welcome Page. I don't wanna bore you all before we even get started (I tend to ramble), sorry in advance!!

However, I do want to touch base on myself just a little. The names Mik and I'm motivated now more than ever. I am so passionate about health and fitness. I want to empower and help others to the best of my ability while improving different areas of my life and working on becoming my best self. I want to provide you with good, real, raw content. I don't want you to think my life is perfect or that I've got it all figured out because I don't and if you do FILL ME IN and help a sista' out!! Let's be honest with ourselves for a second. No one has it all figured out, no one is perfect, and that's why I'm here. I want to make this journey with you guys. I want to share my experiences with ya'll so that you can maybe relate, benefit, or learn from them. I just want you all to feel like you have someone there for you even if it's just me, Mik...some rando girl that has a food and fitness Instagram and decided to start up a blog.

I've said this a million times and i'll say it a million more. If I can help just one person through this blog or my Instagram I will consider it a success. I don't care how many followers you have, if you have defined abs, if you workout, if you are vegan, vegetarian, eat meat, paleo, keto, I DON'T CARE WHO THE HECK YOU ARE. I will never judge you or question your decisions because you are your own person. Every individual is different, has different goals, different nutrition and dietary needs, different genetics, etc. It doesn't matter who you are or what you need, I will always be supportive and understanding of your choices.

This post is kind of all over the place. I'm gonna be real with ya'll though, sometimes my blog posts will be organized and have a direct purpose or focus, and other times they'll be a little jumbled and unorganized or maybe just me ranting, who knows! (Only time will tell). Not everything has to have a purpose or has to have some deep meaning damn it!! It just feels good to get your thoughts out sometimes, to let other people know what you're thinking and how you are feeling even if it doesn't necessarily make sense at the time. Chances are someone else in this big universe has probably been in the same boat as you and is just as confused and lost as you are. Sometimes I've got it together and sometimes I don’t...and you know what that's okay!!! I'm not afraid to admit it, and you shouldn't be either. Why does everyone feel the need to portray that they have it all together or act like they have everything figured out? We are all guilty of it at one time or another and if you say you aren’t you’re probably lyin’. Let yourself be okay with being unsure and confused sometimes.

Let’s be real with one another, let’s get uncomfortable to feel comfortable, let’s learn from one another, support each other, and grow together. I’m serious!! We need to empower the hell out of each other in today’s society. It’s the sad, but real truth. Chase your dreams, work towards your goals, and do what you want because you have the ability to determine your own happiness.

Stick around because I have some good stuff coming and you won’t wanna miss it. I’m here to make a change, and mark my words... I will change this world for the better as much as one person can.

I'll leave you with a quote. I love me some sappy, positive, inspiring, motivational life quotes (better get used to them because I'm not gonna stop)!! Ready, 3,2,1...

"Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely." -Roy T. Bennett

That's all I have for now.
