The start of something new

Hello everyone my name is Steve and I am new to steemit and to well pretty much anything having to do with social media and blogging. I had a facebook once in college 5 years ago but I deleted it now the only thing i really ever had to do with social media would be snapchat.
One of my friends introduced me to this site and I thought might as well give it a try. I don't really know how to blog or what you need to write down for it to be considered a blog. This is going to be my first blog ever and I actually want to continue to blog.
So today is the start of a new day a new life, from now on I will be blogging about my everyday life, pretty much anything i can capture or record. This is not for me to be conceited in any way, this is to help me break free of my shell and help me interact with the world and social media. Any advice will be appreciated on how i can start expanding through the social network and doing things to be more involved with the world.
Let me start by saying a little bit about who I am. I was born in a small town called Watsonville in California once known as the strawberry capital of the world. I am currently 25 years of age and I am still in school. I attended CSU Monterey Bay and studied Kinesiology because I am interested in health and wellness, nutrition, and being physically active. After a few years I switched to Psychology but due to my indecisiveness I am now studying Business at Cabrillo College. My ultimate goal is to open up a fine dinning restaurant that allows people more of a way to interact with the food and see how it is prepared. I have worked for Chipotle Mexican Grill for 6 years and now I am currently a cook at Chart House Restaurant. I love to cook and build new plates and make new ingredients.
I have 1 dog but my girlfriend also has a dog so i guess technically i have 2 dogs, they're both really cute and chubby. They are chihuahuas but they do not bark at everything they are actually really nice. My dog's name is Brownie and he has been with me for 10 years now, he's getting old but he still has plenty of energy. On my spare time I've recently been going to the gym Fitness Evolution, I have been trying to gain more weight in muscle and lose body fat but it has been a struggle. I am currently at 138 lbs and my goal is to be at least 160 lbs in 6-8 months. I've been going to the gym consistently for 2 weeks so far and i can kinda see the results but there is a long way to go. If you guys have any advice that would be appreciated. I don't just work out I like to go out and travel, I like going to Santa Cruz, Big Sur, Monterey Bay, everywhere around me and enjoying the sun, the beaches, the outdoors, and going out to the bars and doing one of my favorite things which is playing pool. Monterey bay is the best place to go kayaking or just to do any outdoor activities, it is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
So this is a little bit about myself. There is a lot more I would like to talk about but I will spread it throughout the time I am on here. Please feel free to message me or add me. All advice is welcome and appreciated.
Let me know what you think of my first blog.
