Changing things up a bit.....


DIET....
Such a hard word to say sometimes and even harder to commitment to. 
It's something that we painfully bring ourselves to hoping that it will bring us temporary happiness. But...when we come upon the end of our diet life starts to go back right where we started from, it's as if we never got off the start line. So the true question is how do we run a marathon with our lives if we're only training for a mile?

Every successful journey begins with one step....
In life we are constantly searching for something more, something that brings us a life time of happiness. But how do we achieve that? Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of change...and believing that we deserve that change we are searching for. Mine is starting with this blog, working out, and how I eat. I'm not doing this so when I look in the mirror I see perfection. I am doing this because I believe that I am capable of change. so I start with a small little home cook meal. Just some chicken, green beans, and red potatoes. Now to you this may make no sense. For me if I can change how I eat for not just in the moment but for a life time, that is true strength.

   We are surround by so many temptations as if this world is setting us up for failure. If your trying to change how you eat, but yet on every block there is a McDonald's. It makes it harder to love that lunch you packed for yourself. What about if you're not good with saving money but on every commercial some new advertisement is telling you this item or product will change you, or make you feel better. How about that new hot commodity that will make you look more successful than you ever have before. There will be always be something to deter us away from what we know we are capable of. Now some of you might just be snickering at my post about how I want to change the way I eat. As if I am writing about this like it's some big discovery. But we all know that my change is
 just plain common sense. My question for you then is, what is the change that you are searching for?What are you afraid of? We all have something that we want....something that we dream of changing. How long will it take for you to recognize yours?

DIET...
We all hate it until we make it a lifestyle..

A little piece of me

Welcome to a little piece of me, or a little piece of my story. Where to begin is always the hard part, looking for the right words to keep a reader interested can sometimes be a challenge. But this is my life, my journey, my transformation, and hopefully you'll tag along for the ride.  Before I share my daily life I want to start by telling how I got this idea and why I'm choosing to share this for anyone who wants to read it. 
Well lets see....
Like everyday now for awhile I wake up look in the mirror and all I can see is the girl who I used to be. She was more fit, felt more confident in her jean size, and never thought twice if this outfit made her feel uncomfortable. That girl is long gone now. Through the years I have changed. I know what I want in this life and its not to be that stick skinny girl, but to be confident in me as person... as a human being. To many times we wake up and look in the mirror wishing we could have a little bit of our past; but the past is meant to stay right where it belongs. What we have....or I have..is my future. 
So I came up this idea to write about my journey. Writing is a big part of my life, for those of you who don't know me.  It's how I live on a day to day basis. And to make a commitment to share a piece of me for others to read is true accountability. 
So with that...
This is me 
I am 26 years old...silly most of the time, and I love when people or music, or words inspire me to want to change for the better. This is my blog called transformation of the average. It will contain my work outs, my diet, and of course my before and after. I am doing this blog because a very special friend has always believe in me even when I couldn't believe in myself. I hope you guys enjoy this, and maybe inspire one of you to challenge your self to something you've always wanted to complete. 
This is a new year to finally finish something I've always held back from.
Welcome to my...
Transformation
