I got tagged by ouiouimerci a beautiful person. 

rules: answer the 11 questions, tag 11 sexy people, let them know you tagged them! 

What is your age?                                                                                                 I'm 17 years old.

Biggest celebrity crush?              um I would have to say Misha, but like a "I adore you" crush, not the "I want to violently rip your clothes off" crush

What country are you from?                                                                                 partying in the USA since 96

Where do you want to live?                                                                                  London would be super cool. But to expensive to leave the country. I think Texas, Dallas because I want to get out of my home state, but some where country because I was raised pretty much close to a farm and living in the city wouldn't feel right (even though Dallas is a city it still has that down home feel). Chicago would def be my vacay spot though. 

Word you use most when pissed off?                                                               probably fuck, or son of a bitch. When I'm not raging and I want to keep it appropriate I use son of a building block a lot or balls. 

Biggest pet-peeve?                                                                                       omg talking to me when I have ear phones in. Also this is weird I hate people who talk soft and barely touching? I don't know how to explain it, it just makes me mad, like if you're going to talk to me talk correctly and if you touch me don't like barely brush my arm with your finger tip or something because it feels weird.  

What is the first thing you would do with a million dollars?                                    put it back for college because that shit is ridiculous. On top of college alone, but also home and food, and the cost of internet, yeah, Shits crazy. 

Any weird stories/things you do?                                                                       I turn the light off in the bathroom when I use the bathroom. I sing and dance and pretend like I'm famous and everyone loves me. Or I pretend like I'm  being interviewed. 

Do you have any talents?                                                                                      drawing (mainly on my bamboo pad tablet) I can sing, I'm good at helping people and I also seem to be good at making people feel comfortable and happy. My family think I'm an dog or animal whisper because animals always warm up to me. Is that even a talent? idk. Basically anything that involves being creative I'm good at, if it's like math or science then no.

What superpower would you want?                                                                 the ability to read minds.

Favourite blog?                                                                                                      oh goodness, suckmygrace shes beautiful ;) one that I also enjoy (its a health blog) flatabsandthighgaps her blog is really positive and helpful with healthy life styles.

11 questions

I was tagged by fun-fit-and-healthy-happiness :]

Rule 1: Always post the rules

Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you has written and write 11 new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post.

Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. What is your best method for motivation? Um. I don't know. I think tumblr keeps me motivated. I log on every day and see a whole lot of fit people. And I want to be like them. Also, when I go out with my friends and feel second rate, that's always a good reason to go to the gym and get banging. :]

2. How much has the fitblr community impacted your fitness journey?

So so so so so so so so much. I would have given up a long time ago if I didn't run my own fitblr. And yeah, sometimes it feels like I'm talking to myself on my blog, but every now and then I get a lovely message or something. :] I have made one or two good friends through the fitblr community though and I think that's awesome. :]

3. Favorite healthy snacks?

Almonds and apricots. Rice cakes. Sliced tomato and basil on ryvita crackers. Blueberries. Om nom nom.

4. What do you plan on doing in your future?

I have no idea. I wanted to do a Bachelors of Science majoring in Nutrition. And then I got short listed for the course.  And then I thought about a Bachelors in sports science and recreation. But I don't think I'm fit enough for that yet even if my mum does. Haha. Then I thought maybe I should actually use the qualification that I've got in vet nursing. But I can't bring myself to do it. So long story short, I really don't know what I want to do in my future.

5. Do you have anything to say to people who are having trouble starting their path to a healthy lifestyle?

Do not feel disheartened if you can't get it 'right' at first. You will slip up. You will make mistakes. And that's okay. Be kind to yourself. So you didn't realize that muesli bars contain a lot of calories? So you didn't know that you should eat before you workout? It's a learning curve. You're allowed to make mistakes.

6. How do you plan on spending summer 2013?

Ohhhh. Well, during June and July and stuff, which is summer for America, I'll be freezing my bum off and working on getting into a bikini by New Zealand summer! :]

7. If you could spend one day with anybody in the world(dead/alive/fictional/celebrity) who would it be and what would you do?

As dumb as it sounds, I'd spend it with my friends James and Micah. And maybe some of our other friends. I spent a lot of time with James and Micah while we were at high school. We did a lot of drinking and had heaps of fun, drunk or not. Then James went and got a girlfriend. And I didn't see him for 2 and a half years. The first time I saw him since his girlfriend came around was the week before last. I miss him so much. James was my best friend. If we were hanging out, we'd probably go get a feed, play playstation, goto the driving range, buy a box of ice, get the boys around and get horsed in the sun. :]

8.What are you short-term fitness goals?

Do a back bend. Do the splits. Run 5km. Bang out 20 press ups. :]

9. Long-term goals?

Run a marathon. Learn some kick boxing. Kick my sisters ass at an arm wrestle.

10. Is there any new exercises or health foods that you want to try out?

Crossfit. Kick boxing. Learn to surf. I would be interested in trying out a raw food diet. Possibly paleo but probably not. LOL

11. What’s you’re favorite positive change since embarking on a healthy lifestyle?

LOOKING BANGING! Haha, just kidding. I feel happier in my day to day life because I don't hate myself any more. It's an awesome feeling.  I have a lot more tolerance for those around me and for myself when I screw up. I was once a very angry person, but I'm not so much now. :]

MY QUESTIONS

1. When did you last work out? What did you do?

2. When you buy workout clothes, do you feel the need to buy branded things such as Adidas or Nike?

3. What is your favorite sport?

4. Can you swim?

5. Would you rather go to the beach or to the woods?

6. If you had to choose a person to live forever that couldn't be you, who would it be?

7. Describe your perfect date.

8. If you could do anything in the world (tourist attraction wise), what would you do?

9. Can you cross your eyes? Can you post a photo of you giving it a go? :]

10. What is your favorite movie? If you can't choose one, hit a top 3.

11. What makes you so awesome? :]

Totally fangirling a little bit okay maybe a lot because I love love LOVE your blog and you responded to my post about me feeling down potentially because of my lack of working and ahh thank you you are so kind and amazing and asdfghjklovee you and your blog that is all k bye<3 oh! And I'll ask a question, hrm: which do you like more, turtles or seahorses?

Ahh! Omg. as;dfkjgjl Now I’m fangirling because you’re fangirling! I love your blog too! Thank you so much! Don’t worry either! We’ll both feel better once we get back in the swing of things!

Oh no! I don’t know if I can choose! I love seahorses because I think it’s kickass that the males have the babies, but growing up my aunt raised turtles and my library card had turtles on it and I played on turtle water things at the park and the big turtle statue outside of the library… just so many turtles! I guess turtles! Haha.

Thank you again! You made my night! Have an amazingly fantastic one! <3

Workout Inspiration.

Here’s to you. Here’s to going for just five more push-ups, and five more after that. To skipping out on candy and going for fruit instead. To working out more than your “naturally thin” friends. To not seeing results in the mirror, but putting on your running shoes and working out anyway. To carrots, to water, to perseverance. To sore muscles and stinky socks, to clearer skin and nicer hair. To feeling the sweet sensation of calories burning from your body. To the gap between your thighs. To confidence and health. To looking like a fool when you dance, but to then looking into the mirror, and seeing major change. To the killer legs, and jaw drops. To failing and succeeding, to winning, and to losing. To not hating yourself when you mess up, because it will happen. To newer, smaller clothes. To not starting tomorrow, but starting today, or tomorrow will never come. Here’s to you, beautiful. Here’s to you.

Today is your chance. I dare you to say you can’t do it. I dare you. And you know, if you do? You’re lying. You’re a liar. Because you can. YOU CAN. Whatever it is you do, whether it be running, yoga, dancing, lifting, skipping, underwater basketweaving, WHATEVER. Do it with every ounce you have, every fiber of your being. Literally, put your all into it. Because that’s when you’ll succeed. And nobody can tell you no, except for yourself. So don’t say no. Say freaking YES. Because after all this time, you deserve it. Where has doing things halfway gotten you all this time? Remember that goal you had last year? Do you remember the promises you have made, and broken, to yourself? This is not just a journey for your body. It is a journey for your mind. You’re learning to love yourself, to keep promises to yourself, to remember that you are valued, immeasurably. A body makeover, a mind makeover. Everything is changing in the best way possible. One more lap, one more rep, one more mile, one more inch off of your waist. One less soda, one less french fry, one less binge. One more day feeling confident in the body you’re in, or you won’t be confident in the body you’re trying to get. One less night hating your body for not being “perfect enough”. Because at the end of the day, you want to be able to say that today was better than yesterday, but not as great as tomorrow will be. Progress, beautiful. Not perfection. You’ve got it in you. Just give it all you’ve got.
