This series has been about changes I have made in my life, and blog, and the reasons behind them. This is I hope the final major change I will be making which will effect my blog, and so without further ado...

Welcome to Angelyn's Semi-Healthy Lifestyle

I've been thinking about this concept for my blog a while now, but was not ready to fully commit to it. When I originally started this blog I had intended it to just be a personal blog for my friends and family to stay updated with my changing life with Camilo and the start of our own family. However when my engagement with Camilo was called off I had just caught the blogging bug and couldn't quit, but I also couldn't keep "The Riviere Family" [the original name of this blog] because that is no longer the case. However at the time I still was not sure if it was going to be a blog primarily for close friends and family, or if I wanted to try to expand my horizons, so I went with the very generic name of "The Life and Times of Angelyn." 
Now to the present, as mentioned the idea of a semi-healthy lifestyle had been rolling around in my head for a while now, but this would be a blog meant for the masses, and not just those I know personally. This required some commitment to blogging on my part, and of course...a BUTTON! Well as you see, I have made that leap and am now the author of Angelyn's Semi-Healthy Lifestyle! Button and all [which you should grab].

Now to the question, what is a SEMI-healthy lifestyle? Well it is the lifestyle I strive to live, and the key concept to living a semi-healthy lifestyle is moderation. Junk food is not really bad, it is TOO much junk food that is bad. Eating healthy is not difficult nor lack luster, but TOO much is being a health nut, and well that is just not a good thing. TOO much exercise, TOO much sleep, TOO much of anything turns into a bad thing. 
But if you live by the standard of all things in moderation, then you can really enjoy life to the fullest. You can enjoy the benefits of healthy eating and all the fun of guilty pleasures which let's face it, if you did not have any guilty pleasures, life would be difficult and dull. This blog is about lifestyle though, not diets or recipes. So I will be blogging about a variety of topics including: eating, exercising, hobbies, kids crafts, education, relaxing, rewards, anything you need to live your version of a Semi-Healthy Lifestyle. 

Changes cont...

So the my last post was about changes I made to my blog, but this one is about some life changes. When you... make the transition from being engaged to being single [I don't want to say the B word] it inevitable changes, well your life. Because my previous future plans were around the idea of being married to someone, I now must form new plans. So this post is about some of the changes I've made for me!

Some of the smaller changes I am making are superficial, and just to get me over the hump of the...relationship paradigm shift that just occurred. One of them being, I'm dyeing my my hair blond! yay I've always wanted to try it, and blonds have more fun, right???? I'm going to do it gradually, lighten my hair, then lighten it a little more, throw in some highlights... etc till I get to the shade I want. I will also be lightening my eyebrows because they are pretty much black and I don't want it to be obvious from a mile away that I am not a natural blond. Second is my diet. I'm hopping on this vegan movement. good-bye animal bi-products, and hello tofu and yest =] Ok maybe not the yeast, BUT I have been studying up alot on the health benefits of veganism, and really think I could adjust to that lifestyle. When I was engaged, I really had no hope of being vegan with carnivorous fiancee, but now it is attainable, and I'm super excited! Hardest part will be cows milk, but I love soy milk and almond milk, and when I consider how hard on the digestive system cows milk is, it makes the choice a little easier [only a little]. and the final superficial change I am making is...underwear, as in I'm no longer going to be wearing it. Sports bras, yes. push-up, under wire, demi, etc... NO WAY. and as for panties...well it is awful freeing not to wear them so we'll see how that goes.

On to the more serious ones. I was planning on living in Tallahassee with my dear for a couple of more years while we finished school, but now everywhere I go is contaminated with memories. Thus I have concluded I need to move - more on that later. as for nursing school. I have not heard back from FSU yet, but regaurdless that is no longer the career path I wish to take. I am going to take flight lessons, and become a pilot instead. I always planned on doing that at some point in my life, but why not now? why not make it my first career? I eventually want to be a bush pilot, but I'll start out commercial. Friends, family, free tickets anyone? I know the reaction I'm getting from some of you, but this is not as sudden as it my seem. It has always been a dream of mine and well my other dreams have currently been pushed to the back burner, so now is the time to put these upfront. Now to where I am going to move. With my aspirations to become a bush pilot, the best place to train and get an impressive flight log to build up my resume is... Alaska! Yes, you read that correctly. I am moving to Alaska, the exact opposite part of this country. Yes it is cold and snowy, and I've always said I was a Florida girl, but I think I have just been scared of change. Well not now, and Alaska is the place for me right now in my life. I know this is a lot, but I am sure you noticed by now ---and if you haven't you're in for another shocker--- that this is April 1st. So if I had you going even for a second reading this blog, the joke is on you! I'm sure most noticed once I got to the sillier changes that this was a fool's day prank. Well I hope I elicited a few giggles, and happy pranking.

Until next time.

Changes

So I just finished changing up my blog a bit. I changed the URL, title, and description...mainly due to the fact that Camilo and I broke off our engagement. Sad? Yes. But life keeps trucking on, and I'm just getting the hang of the world of blogging so I think those changes did just the trick so I can keep on with this. Camilo and I ended amicably, as well as a year of dating and being engaged can. We're still friends, which is taking alot of adjusting, it's hard not to give him a hug and kiss when I see him. Time will eventually take the awkwardness and hurt away, and hopefully leave our old friendship intact.

Until then lots of junk food, funny sitcoms, and Disney movies! speaking of which...

Just wanted to introduce those changes and the reason behind them. Until next time.
