Blog Bug!

OH NO!!! I think I have caught the blogger's bug! Yes! I admit I am somewhat liking the whole theory behind writing so your friends, family, and complete strangers can know what is currently taking place in your life!!

SOOOOO here I go!

Well you see it is currently 1:45 am on a Wednesday night Thursday morning... And for the past couple of hours I have been deep cleaning my apartment.. You know -- going through all the drawers and cabinets and getting rid of the things that are no longer of use to you for whatever reason... I have also dusted and wiped down every piece of furniture I own! My mother would be so proud of me! I am finally getting organized! YES MOM at 21 and in my final semester of college I am getting myself organized! Better late than never, right?

This is the thing -- I am actually kinda liking LOVING this whole process... I keep thinking about how relaxing the whole cleaning process is! And my favorite part is vacuuming... It is the last thing I do and I just know when I turn off the vacuum and wind up the cord my apartment is going to shine! I love it! It is truly rewarding! And these days I am all about some positive rewards!

Well I hope everyone has a blessed night!

The One Hundred Pound Lesson...

Well, I'm not one to blog or to even express deep feelings in a social network situation. However, per the request of my mother -- a great woman that she is-- she asked that I start a blog... So here I am.

My first blog is not going to be the typically introductory blog... Its going to be about the biggest lesson I have learned in my 21 years of existence...

Today while shopping at a local boutique -- LA Green Boutique which I highly recommend for any female that loves clothes!! -- in Starkville I was trying on clothes and my sweet friend Ashley that works there was complementing me on how great I was looking... We took a quick stop from trying on clothes to look at how much weight I have lost. When I told her I have lost !00 pounds her mouth hit the ground!

This is the thing guys... In the picture above I weighed a lot CLEARLY!!! I've lost a 100 pounds!!

This is me 100 pounds lighter!!! It wasn't until I put two pictures side by side that I had realized what I had done!

I have always been proud of my accomplishments but this is probably my proudest moment!

You see... Here recently I have been in a slump... I have not been working out and my eating habits have been less than healthy.. But TODAY when I saw what an accomplishment I had achieved I can't wait to get back on track!

This just goes to show -- any dream, wish, or goal you go to set for yourself you can achieve it with a little hard work!!! I know I am and if I can then so can you!!

Oh and just to make sure... the 100 pound lesson is that any dream is achievable... Just never give up on trying...
Peace && Love! -- Chelsea
