Welcome to Swagger!
This is a blog I have created, to really help readers to find the key to getting to that place of feeling really good every day. You know, those days where you walk with a little bit more pep, a bit more sway in your hips... that walk you do when you feel really good in those skinny jeans...this is what I mean by swagger. According to Oxford English Dictionary, swagger means to walk or behave in a very confident and typically arrogant or aggressive way Now, I have my own understanding of the word swagger, so I tend to keep the latter part of the definition out. It should just be: "To walk or behave in a confident way... Or putting some attitude in it (whatever "it" is)." I get that feeling when I am eating right, enjoying my workouts, and enjoying LIFE (meaning, champagne, social dinners, maybe a piece of freshly made lemon pound cake).
These swagger days come to me when my skin is glowing, my hair feels healthy, stress is low, body feels toned, I am slaying it at work... Lots of things come into play to have that swagger mentality and they vary from person to person.
A bit about me. Well, I am a twenty something year old that has not quite figured it all out (unlike my doctor brother). I have been in the fitness industry for about 7 years now, along with working in the corporate world as a recruiter. This year I made a big decision to leave the corporate world to make fitness and wellness my full time career. I am a personal trainer, pilates instructor and cycle instructor. I have always been an avid (for the lack of a better word) "foodie," and decided while I was making life changing choices, to go a head and enroll at The Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts. Within a month of this decision, I packed, sold my dream car to have money to live, and moved to New York City. If I really were to pursue this passion of health and wellness, I wanted to know all I could about it. Food is the most important part of feeling good. Our bodies can heal from food, survive off food, and change through food. Not only that, but food is a seriously interesting thing to study....it effects not only our bodies, but our environment. Everything is connected (a little food for thought).
This blog is meant to share things I have come to find helpful in achieving my own health and wellness goals, along with recipes, my travels and experiences in the big apple, my chaotic days in culinary school, and tips on how to get your own swagger mentality on! I believe life should be lived to the fullest. I have had to learn to not sweat the small stuff and try to enjoy what is going on around. I have days where I feel I have lost my swagger, but when I re-group....BAM! It's a great feeling. I hope you enjoy and I hope you leave comments where you see fit. I learn from those around me, so enlighten me!
Get your Swag On!
