2012 BAM

So this would be my belated happy new year in review blah blah blah post. 

2012 was an incredible year of transformation for me.

• I finally started recording music with the amazing Kelsey Anderson. 

Check out some of our work on the youtubes

• I bought a house!!!

Someone, somewhere thought it was a great idea to loan a single 24 year old woman with copious student loan and credit card debt an exorbitant amount of money. Thank god they did, because I now have a charming Portland 1950s bungalow to call home.

• I totally transformed my diet and the way I approach nutrition. 

Vegan to Paleo. What a trip. I reread a post from my super skeptical self from January 2012. Its pretty evident that I thought this paleo shmaleo thing was a load of crap. (Read for yourself) But as you may have guessed, now, a year later, I am a huge proponent of the Paleo or Primal lifestyle. It has completely changed my life, and I dont just meant the smaller pants I can now shimmy into. I am significantly healthier, emotionally and physically.

• I lost 50 net pounds, 66lbs of fat, and 36.5 inches.

I worked my ass off for this loss (or gain, depending on how you look at it). The wonderful trainers at Portland FitBody Bootcamp played a huge role in my success and I am unbelievably grateful for all the support they provided.
