The time is NOW. New years resolution jump start

So today I got to do an assessment to see how healthy I am at this point in my life. Thankfully I am in a "good" place in my life. However there are some areas that deserve to be improved. Some I don't really have the power to change, like getting more sleep. But I realize that I get to make some changes like working out and making healthy eating choices. I got really sick a couple weeks ago and decided that soda just really didn't sound good. So I haven't even been tempted to drink a soda for almost 2 weeks now. Pretty sweet huh :) I feel a lot better not drinking it too so it is something I am committed to stick to :D

I have also ordered some healthier options for groceries- side note, I get my groceries delivered to my home now. haha sounds lazy but there are great benefits to it, I am not tempted to go down the ice cream or sweets isle, it saves whatever extra time I might have in my crazy life to spend doing other things :) and I actually save money by just buying the basics. But like I said, I have changed my order and have gotten some pretty healthy items on their way now :)
I have decided that after I get out of school at night I will go to the gym at least for an hour. I get out of school at 10pm so its pretty late for a workout but late is better than never right? I have really been into yoga lately and luckily we get to do it at my school on Monday nights, I'd really love to find a class to join daily, maybe when I figure out a better way to balance school and work I will be able to find a class somewhere :)

Also, with these changes I know I get to be easy on myself. I am taking baby steps until I am able to push myself further. By blogging it, I am making a declaration to you and to me that I am committed to do this.
I am committed to go the distance! :D

Fall Photo Shoot by Apryl May Photography

So here are some pics from the photo shoot I did with Apryl last weekend. These are small quality since I just copied them from her website to edit them myself. She is going to do some editing for me, but I was a little impatient haha. But here they are! :D tell me what ya think. I was going for a vintage look :D

My Yellow Butterfly

This is my newest piece of art. Yellow butterfly which has so much meaning to me, the butterfly itsself means beauty and transformation, the color yellow means emotions, it has so much symbolism of my life this past year from the experiences I've gone through. They have all made me so strong and was able to pull out the beauty within me.

My photo shoot with my niece Jordan

So my niece Jordan is about to graduate high school this coming year. SO crazy! We took her out to this really cool park with old trains and little shops while we were in TN. I have a TON more pics but I have to get them off my sisters computer before I can get them posted. But here are a few of my favorite shots. Let me know what ya think. I was really happy with the way they turned out since my camera is really not the greatest usually..
