It's never too late in life to make positive changes for yourself, whether large or small. Go big or go home is my motto & I'm going big! I had a minor set back but knew i needed to kick it back into gear to be happy & feel better again; I will not give up or allow myself to fall back into my old habits or negativity. Thats not how i want to live. Seeing the amazing changes in myself mentally & physically has been the most rewarding part. I love living a happier, healthier, more fulfilling & positive lifestyle.
I know how tough it can be to stay motivated alone, hell I've fallen off the wagon a few times. That's why I'm keeping this blog to help keep me going, to remind myself how far I've come. Maybe a long the way it will help inspire others to keep going as well!
You want to know more? Ok here it is...
The Say Breakdown:
Hyper, hilarious, down to earth, non materialistic, absolutely adorable & sometimes awkward... I strongly embrace my weirdness & being different.
Playing & watching sports is my thing... yes I am one of those individuals that gets super excited/angry, jumps up & yells at the TV.
I take working out, make up, video games & designing pretty seriously.
If I could I would spend all day/everyday outside; Hiking, running, fishing, camping (& I mean tent camping... I hate my parents trailer).
I like to keep life interesting & try new things... I sometimes get bored.
Always on the prowl for my next adrenalin rush!
I have a Bucket List.
Love to laugh. At everything...
Horror movie junkie & action flick type of girl. Dislike chick flicks (If I have to watch them I will... but I prefer not to).
Halloween is my ALL TIME favorite... & I LOATHE Valentines Day.
I have a big heart... I'm a mush.
I do volunteer work & love being able to help others.
I have an older sister "T" who I'm very close with... & she really needs to move back to Jersey.
Slight addictions to hot sauce & pumpkin flavored anything, Wawa, shiny objects (I know ridiculous) & PUPPIES... I want one sooo bad.
♥ Panda's, Dalmatians & Husky's... I love animals in general.
HATE liars.
I can not... & will not eat jelly... grossness. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.
I have a habit of making up my own words; they have been dubbed "Sandyisums". The best part; you know you hangout with me too much if you actually know what I mean or you start using them.
I have the worst sense of direction, I'd get so lost without my GPS.
Guilty pleasures are garbage pizza, hot wings, mexican food, Skittles & Swedish fish.
Coffee, Mountain Dew, Pinot & Jack Daniels <3 (not together of course! I don't really drink these much anymore... but they will always be a fave. Coffee & soda free for 5 months!)
If I'm not working, exercising, or with my family or friends... you will find me in the kitchen. Baking & decorating
I have severe arachnophobia... I go into automatic panic-mode & scream even when I see a little tiny one. I'm also afraid of clowns & needles.
I'd be lost without music in my life.
I'm a Gemini... so I guess that could explain a lot!

I'm a graphic & web designer/developer with close to seven years experience in my field. I currently work at Millennium Technologies which is a certified Value Added Reseller. I'm also a web master & graphic designer at Push to Walk, which is a non-profit organization that provides one on one workouts with certified trainers for people with spinal cord injuries. I absolutely love my jobs! I also volunteer at all the special events Push to Walk has throughout the year (Casino Night is in March!).
