Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle

I just realized that I should of started my blog with a little introduction of myself or to at least explain why my blog name is what it is.  Well for starters my name is Laura Picardi, I am a 21 year old born and raised in an all Italian family in the city of Chicago.  I was diagnosed with Celiac disease eight years ago and have been living the gluten free lifestyle since. Not only do I maintain a healthy, well balanced diet, but I also maintain a healthy lifestyle by weight training.  I have been weight training for two years now, which has improved my physical and mental health substantially.  And that basically sums up why my blog name is Gluten Free by Chance, Healthy by Choice.  I wanted to create a blog that provides helpful tips and tools on how to live a healthier, mental and physical lifestyle.  My past two blogs explained goals and dedication, which everyone should either possess or acquire to keep themselves driven for a successful future. Personally, I think in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, a person must be driven, devoted, involved, active, eager, and most importantly happy.  Each of these qualities motivates me to wake up early in the morning and go to the gym, stay on top of my school work, work harder in my internship, be successful, and most importantly be the best daughter, sister, and friend I can possibly be.  To be the best version of yourself is what will make you the most happy and that in itself is maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I wish everyone a lifetime full of happiness and success.
