New Direction

I've found a new passion.  Staying active and keeping healthy has taken on a good-sized portion of my life right now.  The way the body works and how it responds to the different things we do to it, either good or bad, fascinates me.  I've always been inclined to be athletic, but that was simply because my other passion, ballet, involves so much activity.  Now I want to take it a step further and find out how to reach my best level of health and fitness, in an effort to improve both my dancing and my daily life as a normal person.
That's why I'm converting this blog from a collection of stories about my fumbling around in the kitchen attempting to create homemade bread, to a spot where I inform you how I'm doing in achieving my goals
I love what I've discovered about making bread, and the benefits are well worth the extra effort.  Not to mention the amazing taste, which is more of a testament to the forgiveness of the dough than my bread making skills.  I'll admit, I probably could have come up with a never ending series of comical posts, making fun of my general stupidity when it comes to working in the kitchen.  But it wasn't meant to be.  I love being in the kitchen, regardless of my lack of skill, but I can't seem to write about making bread.  I don't know the exact reason why.
But I think I can succeed in informing people about being fit and healthy.  I'll talk about injuries as well, such as how to prevent and recover from them.  This blog will include new information and tips I've learned and view as worthy enough to share with my readers.  It will also be personal.  No, it won't be my emotion filled journal on display for the world to see.  To view that you'll need to check out my other blog, about my frustrating struggle to thrive in the competitive world of ballet.  But it will reveal the ways I like to stay active, eat healthy, and resist the temptations of not so good for you habits. 
It's vital that I take of myself to dance, but I also need to take care of myself for me.  I'm very excited to continue on this path of building a healthy lifestyle.
