Welcome!
A healthier, happier bear eh? What is that all about you ask? Well, for over a year, my fiance and I have had endearing nicknames for each other consisting of bear and salmon. If you’re in a good mood and pleasant then you’re a bear. But, if you’re in a bad mood then you’re a salmon. I know, we’re 25 years old, and we talk about bears and salmon. 🙂 The best part was when our two best friends, Scott and Amy, found out. Combine a night of drinking, four best friends, and letting a huge inside joke out of the bag and you get quite a night.
But, enough about the nickname, now I’ll explain the title. As I embark on my final seven months of single life before marrying my best friend on November 21, 2009 I want to make sure i’m the happiest and healthiest possible. I believe this happens by focusing on putting the healthiest and most wholesome foods into my body and thinking of them as fuel. In addition, the more active I am the happier I am due to all the wonderful endorphins. So, my goal is to use this blog to track my journey towards a healthier and happier life while also learning more about my future home, NYC. I’ve quickly realized that this city is a wonderful resource for health and fitness! For now, the site will be without pictures unfortunately as my camera needs a new charger. But, soon, I promise there will be pictures!
So for now, i’m off to bed and excited for the accountability and support that this blog will provide.
Morning!! Thanks for the sweet comment yesterday! I love talking about running, so you just ask me any question you can think of!
In terms of the race coming up, you’ll be awfully surprised at how much the energy of the crowd will get you through the miles!! You also have to remember to have fun! (a good playlist never hurts either!)
