Hi all! Well, this is my official first entry for this blog…exciting :]

I created this blog to share life tips that actually might work! I plan on giving a personal tip every day along with the story behind it. I like to think, once someone sees something in action, they wanna try to! 

Everyone tells me, “wow, you should write a book about everything that goes on in your life and how you come up with all your advice.” Well everyone, this is just the start! Go ahead and use this blog to tweak things in your everyday life. Some of it may be useless, some of it may just work out :D

TIP #1 PUSH YOURSELF TO DO SOMETHING, EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE IT!

This tip came into play in the middle of this blog registration! I realized, “Oh crap! I didn’t do the treadmill today!” This may seem minor to most, even to my own family who has seen me fail all attempts at exercising and getting fit. Well I’m honest-to-god sticking to my plan of the treadmill every day. I did this plan 6th grade, 20 minutes (a mile on my treadmill) each day for like 2 weeks, and I lost 2 sizes! So as a promise to myself, to be a smaller size by my Sweet Sixteenth birthday in 3 weeks, I will go on that darn treadmill! It was tough today though…I went in the pool this afternoon, then got the munchies, then read 2 pages of my summer reading, fell asleep with my book, then got hooked on the computer, then signed into this site :[

So yeah, I totally didn’t want to exercise today but I stopped, thought about what I’m doing versus what I could be doing, and just went for it! And ya know what? I feel good that I exercised. Just 20 minutes of fast-paced exercise really changes your mood…and I didn’t need Dr. Phil or Oprah’s trainer to tell me :D Push yourself, it’s worth it. Really.
