Catch Up

I've been so absent on here for the past year... Partially because I was planning a wedding and partially because I just felt like I didn't really have anything to say for fear of over sharing like my generation typically does. Then I was reminded of the unique perspective I've been given in this life and decided to start blogging again. Starting today. 

I'll start with a few catch up things first. I'm no longer engaged to be married. I broke it off about three months ago now due to some issues that were not resolvable in or relationship. I'm not going to use this as an opportunity to bash anyone or even really share what happened, but just know that now I am single. 

Over the course of my previous relationship I gained about 20 pounds back after having lost 80. Since breaking it off, I've adopted the low carb, high protein, high fat diet and have lost a TON of fat by inducing ketosis (and working out 5-6 nights per week). 

I also discovered this little thing called a foam roller... Friends, it has revolutionized my life! Get one, go on YouTube to learn how to use it, and roll away. You won't regret it. 

Starting back in February I signed with rue21 to model their plus-size line of clothing for eComm. (No, I am not technically plus-size, but they are branding their plus line to suit the curvy girl body). I will devote an entire post to this news since it has always been a dream of mine and I want to use it to inspire other women to stay strong on their fitness journey! I recently had the privilege to be a runway model in their back to school 2015 fashion show (which also has been a dream of mine)! 

Back at the start of the year a lot of people I spoke with said 2015 was going to be a great year for them. I agreed thinking I would be getting married back in April, but God had other plans for me and it has taken me until now to realize that 2015 won't be defined for me by a broken engagement, it will be defined as the year of positivite change in my life. The year I took the step from being a girl to a woman. And it's only june, so who knows what the rest of the year has in store for me?
