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.
