About me!

Hello!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Haley; my nickname is sometimes Hay, Hay Rae, or Haley Monster. I'm freshly 21 years old. I decided that upon turning 21 I didn't want to be consumed in alcohol, but rather with juice! I wanted to make sure I didn't go down hill at 21. So here I am getting healthy!

I have a really big family that is filled with really big hearts. My family is always very supportive of everything that I do and I'm incredibly grateful to have them.

I also have the most supportive boyfriend a girl could ask for! Keith is my rock throughout my juice fast; he's my rock in most areas of my life.

I'm going to school to become a nurse! I recently obtained my phlebotomy certification (drawing blood from patients)! I currently nanny my beautiful niece as "work". She is such a huge part of my life. Even though she's just a baby, her smile gets me through any hard day.

I've always been at war with my body; It's time to start working with my body and not against it. I've changed my view from wanting to be skinny to wanting to be healthy. Having this new mind set changes everything.

A month before my juice fast I realized that, like my mom and sister, I have celiacs disease. This is where my body is unable to digest gluten (wheat, barley, rye, and oats) properly. It pretty much screws up your entire digestive tract.

The summer after I graduated high school was the only time I was happy with my body. I got really into running and ran a 5k with my mom! After that race, I let myself go! I recently started jogging again! On one of my first jogs I was getting really tired and wanted a break. Then I thought to myself, "You've had a four year break, you don't get to stop now. You've waited to long to resume this run; now you have to keep going". I love running with my mom. She always knows exactly what to say to push me through a tough jog. She's my inspiration.

I've always had a big open heart and mind. I've always had a need to help others. I only hope to have the ability to inspire some of you to become healthy. I love hearing your feedback, so feel free to leave comments or email me at healthyhaley60@gmail.com
