Hello, I'm Sophia!

A little about me...

I'm 30 years old, Married and live in Las Vegas, NV.  I love to be creative whether it is with what I am wearing, baking or my outlook on life.  I like to live a healthy lifestyle, meet new people and travel whenever possible. I am currently going to school to get my degree in art.  I hope that one day my everyday life will be surrounded by creativity. Until then I will keep practicing!

What I am working on now...

This past Christmas I was finally able to upgrade to a new digital camera!!! I have always had an interest in photography but never had the money to buy a better camera. So right now I am focusing on getting better at using my camera and taking more pictures! I still plan on using film, even though it is getting really difficult to develop film, but film has a special place in my heart. 

Fitness wise I am working on FINALLY losing that last 10 lbs to get to my first goal weight. I started my fitness journey about three years ago. I was at my heaviest weight 200 lbs and managed to lose a little over 50 lbs in 6 months by eating healthy and through exercise! Then I got pregnant, gained all the weight back and I have managed to maintain a 40 lb weight loss but still can't get those last 10 lbs! Last year I challenged myself to start running. I was scared to run! I don't know about you but I would start to run and fear that I would I don't know pass out and start to walk haha. So I started January 2012 and my goal was to train for a 5k. I finished that 5k and became hooked! In 2012 I ran three 5k's, one 10k, three mud runs and my goal for the year to run a Ragnar Relay! So for 2013 I want to push myself and see how far I can go.  So far for 2013 I have ran one 5k and another Ragnar Relay!!  Goal for this year...Triathlon! I will start my training soon. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my very first blog! I do hope you check back again! I hope to make new friends and look forward to sharing my adventures through life!
