Day 1: Here we go!

Today is the day......aka shit is getting real.  Are you allowed to swear on a blog?  Probably best not to do it in the first sentence.  Ewwwwwps......ok let's move on. 

Why am I doing this?  I've been talking about doing a blog for FOREVER.  My friends have begun to roll their eyes and tune me out when I start to talk about it.  I figure now is the time!  I am 34 years old, living in Miami, Florida, and for the most part, I really am #livingmybestlife.  I have a great job and I feel like I am pretty solid contributor to society.  I am also getting my MPA (casual, I know) in my spare time.  Every year I try to evaluate my life and think about how I can continue to grow.  Last year I started grad school, and faced my fear of the dentist (seriously....thanks Dr. Herrera at Gateway Dental!).  I also did two rounds of Whole 30 (I'll get into that later) which I really loved.  As 2018 inched closer, I thought about what I could do this year to really pull out all of the stops.  I mean, when I go big, I like to go BIG!  So I thought about my life, and where I want to be in a year.  I have a great job, my teeth are no longer crumbling out of my mouth, WHAT is next? 

I have struggled with my weight for most of my life.  I am a pretty active person and try to work out more days than not. I eat healthy most of the time, but am still considered obese by my doctors standards.  I say all of this to say, that this year, 2018, I am embarking on 360 days of health and wellness.  Does that mean I am swearing off gluten?  No.  Does that mean I am swearing off alcohol?  No.  What does it mean?  It means that I am going to consciously choose to live a healthier life, physically, emotionally, and mentally.  But Sara, what is the point?  Do you have a goal?  My goal is to adopt a lifestyle that works for me.  I want to be able to go out with friends for wine night, or have a pizza party here and there, but I want to make sure that I am living in moderation and really sticking to that whole 80/20 mantra.  So Sara, why the hell would I follow your blog?  I'll be sharing those good good healthy recipes, talking about new fitness activities, and also sharing how I am able to be #funSara in a world of moderation.  Also, I'll have a few friends join me along the way to share their #bestlife inspirations.  Are you hooked yet?  

Stay tuned as I set some #goals and share my plan for how I plan to tackle this next year of LIVING.
