This has to be a good one, right?
This is a lot of pressure...
For years, there have been numerous people in and out of my life whom have followed my daily activities and have said "Lauren, you could write a book!".
Given, that it's 2016 a book really isn't feasible but, I thought hmmm one of those blog thingys that I have heard about may work. why not?!
Let us begin....
Let's start with "Wags", why does everyone call me Wags? Well, it started when I played basketball in High School. I think it was a lot easier for coach to scream "WAGS!!" than the two-syllabled "LAUREN!!!" So, it stuck. I use the hashtag #wagsfitnessjourney on social media often. Now, you know why. Not an incredible story but I like it.
Moving on...
If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be where I am now, I would have laughed, then slapped you in the face. Literally punched you in the mouth. I had a much different plan.
Twenty-Year old Lauren: "In ten years, I will have married the love of my life. Our wedding would have taken place in downtown Columbus on NYE during a candlelit ceremony. I will have had one child, one year following my epic NYE celebration. Her name 'Stella'. I will have pursued my passion in fashion and worked for a high end retailer. My husband will take care of the cooking and cleaning, while I am whisked off to NY, LA and Paris. And we will have a dog, cat, a Range Rover blah, blah, blah..."
That. Shit. Never, Happened.
This, the year of my thirtieth birthday.
I am single. Though completely in love with someone, and he has no idea.
I am about 75lbs over-weight.
I have a cat. That my father takes care of because, well, I work too much to give him the love he deserves.
I was just fired from my bar job that I loved because, to be honest, I opened my mouth when I should have kept it shut. I can only take idiots for so long.
And because of the mediocre list above...my life have progressively gone from fairy-tale to fucking hilarious...
But, I have recently found light at the end of a hot mess tunnel. I began working at a local gym, at first, for extra money, but I have fallen in love with the gym, eating right, working out, motivating others and obtained an overall kick ass mindset.
My blog will highlight some of the best stories, escapades, fiestas, challenges and downright bullshit that I endure on literally, a daily basis. I will show some work-outs that I learn from my incredible trainer that has gone from drill-sergeant to one of my closest friends and cheerleaders, I will talk about recipes that 8 times out of 10 I screw up, but I will talk about them non-the-less. I will talk about fun times and horrible times.
I will sometimes include pictures. I enjoy a good #selfie. So, deal with them. A good filter brings me joy. Sue me. I will cuss, because again that brings me joy, and frankly makes the statement that much better.
Thanks for joining me on #wagsfitnessjourney.
God Bless (sarcasm).
