Hi blog readers!
Long time no talk, I know I've dropped the ball but I promise I'm back and better than ever. This blog is going to get a huge revamp within the next couple of weeks. I hope to do more vlogs, post weekly blogs about being a little person in an average sized world, my diet and exercise routines, what's on my mind at the moment and anything else you want to read about.
So first things first, an update on life and things in it. A few big things have happened. I became a Zumba instructor as of April 19! If you don't know me on a personal level, I'm obsessed with Zumba and have wanted be an instructor for a long time, but it took a few years to build up the confidence to do it. This Thursday I will be leading my first song which is exciting and terrifying at the same time. Thanks Mark and Aylett for the support!
The second update is a little bit more personal but just as exciting. Being a little person weight has been, continues to be, and will always be a struggle for me to maintain. These past five years have been difficult and around 2 years ago I really started kicking it into gear. And as of last month I can be classified as healthy and of normal weight! When I got the news I couldn't stop grinning; it confirmed that these past 2 years of exercising, cutting out the foods I love, and listening to my mother finally paid off.
In the future of this blog I want to talk a lot more about diet and exercise. Since I started losing weight people have asked me what I've done, and I want to answer.
I'm back and better than ever! Talk to y'all super soon!
