Now that you know the important stats let me get into why I’m starting a blog. I am quickly approaching 30 and I have things in my life that I need to change.

There are three main things that I would like to change about myself.
1. Weight/Health
2. Finances
3. Simplify my Life

I’ve been attempting to deal with all three of these things separately with no real luck. Recently I watched an inspiring documentary, “No Impact Man”. This doc helped me realize that if I put more thought and effort into how I lived my life I can succeed not only at my above listed goals but I will be making a huge effort to be “eco-friendly”. Really the goal of the movie was an environmental one but the domino effects were the goals that I’m looking to meet.

I was born on Earth Day (April 22) and I’ve always cared about the earth; reuse items when I can, never litter, and recycle whenever possible. For the most part it was a very casual thing. In the past few years as it has become trendy to be “green” and I have kept away from it. I didn’t want to participate in a movement just because it was the trend. In the past few months I’ve been reading about how to live eco friendly which if done right can also be very cost effective…two birds, one stone! I will be going through what is called an eco-cleanse over the next year. Starting August 1st I will slowly begin to make changes in my life that overtime will help me reach my goals and ultimately lead to a happier, healthier, simpler life!

I will be utilizing this blog as a journal, a posting place for relevant articles/tips, and a way to meet like minded people. I hope to keep this blog interesting and informative but I promise that it will be honest!
