Progress Is Progress

In my last post I was talking about dieting and how bad it blows... and yes I still have the same views on it, but I must say 7 lbs lost isn't bad for one week! The crappy thing is the weekends... I always cheat! I hate that I cheat... I need to stop it. I didn't even work out I just ate better and stayed busy with kids and house work. I haven't just been trying to lose weight I've been trying to be a better me and I think I've made really great progress with it all! I'm holding strong, and I always feel like the first week is the easiest so hopefully I don't eff it up! Fixing what's wrong is hard, doing wrong is easy. Wish me luck, and for anyone who reads this if you have goals and are doing a good job keeping them well, thumbs up and keep up the hard/good work!

Realizing I'm Different Today!

Dieting... I hate it... I'm horrible at it... BUT this year I am a little more motivated to do something about it! It's weird just waking up one day an being like today is the day I try to change my life, I really love this feeling. I hope to keep this feeling going because I really need it! I think I'm just going to go cold turkey on the whole soda thing as well... anyone who knows me knows I love my coke I can't resist it, but like I said, something is different about me and all I can do is hope it stays with me! Maybe it's the weather or maybe something more... either way I need to jump on it and keep it alive! ha ha. Well other than that nothing new really just doing a lot of reading and cleaning and blah blah blah ( ya know the usual mom things). I wanna start playing tennis this spring and summer I think it's a fun way to exercise and finally do something with my brother! He is a huge fan of tennis and loves to play... I think he is the only one I know who actually likes it. Anyways I hope I can stay strong on what I want to do and try to be healthier I know I need it... I don't want to get to a point where it's too late! Wish me luck!!!

Falling

"They are so absorbed in each other it's beautiful. It's like nothing else exists just them and their beautiful harmony. They are so connected in their own little perfect beautiful, peaceful, musical world... can't get enough of them"

Finally Feeling Something.

So I haven't blogged in a while and that's because every time I went to say something I realized I had nothing to say... it's been weird. So lately we've just been doing a lot of stuff with Alexa and her schooling trying to get her ready for Kindergarten! She is so excited to go next year, although we will miss her Pre school teacher so much!!! She is such an amazing person and an example of what all teachers should be! She believes in her students and makes them believe in themselves. Me and Eric are doing great Eric turned 25 yesterday and we had a nice quiet dinner to ourselves and that was really nice! I can't believe how old we are getting! I swear it was just yesterday that we met! Being high school sweethearts and making it this far is such an accomplishment and such a trial ...really. I love how we are still best friends and how we still joke and laugh and fight and love.... it's good. we are really quiet opposite sometimes and I think that adds a lot of character to our relationship being able to have different opinions so the other can see another point of view is nice. Now I'm just babbling but really love your significant other for who they are and your differences :)

Stress Is So Unhealthy

I need to DE stress myself and my life.... just exactly how am I suppose to do that? I have 2 kids and a husband that is so up and down lately it's kind of hard to completely eliminate it all... but I guess I'll try! I'm sure Yoga will help! DE-cluttering my life should help as well and maybe some daily breathing techniques... I know some people would think that's stupid but it really does relax me! Also doing more things that make me a happier person like going outside more and being more interactive with other people even if it's just family :) With doing all that I hope to have good news come my way, and if not I'll keep going forward with what I really want!

Happy New Year

"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."

Oprah nailed that on the head! I feel 2010 was a huge life lesson for me... I was never the one to make a list because really I didn't care much to change I just thought it's just another day but it's not... it's a new begining for a lot of people. It's the time to say thank you for all the good and a good Eff-you to the bad. So here I am making my list of what I want to accomplish in 2011 wish me luck and Happy New Year!
