I'm BAAAACK!!!

FINALLY!!!! 

The past 2 weeks have been pretty draining.  Not only did I have one kid with the flu, but my baby boy had RSV!  Along with my other daughter being sick and I not feeling well to top it off!  We are still not up to par but we are slowly getting there.


I'm more ready than ever to get this weight loss journey going!!!  I started the South Beach diet on Monday and so far so good.  I havent started hating it yet and it doesnt really feel like a diet so its GREAT!
I also started working out yesterday and actually got through ALL of my 30 day shred workout.  I can barely walk today but I made it through!
I've set my newest goal which is to loose 31 lbs by my 31st birthday which is June 27.  I have 4 months to go and I WILL DO IT!!!!  I also want to set some small goals and little rewards for when I reach them.  Does anyone else do this?


And BTW, I didn't get rich in Vegas :(

Falling behind!

Well looks like I have fallen behind on my posting again!!!  I had a busy weekend!  My husband and I spent last night in Deadwood SD for his company's Christmas party!  We had a blast!  I learned how to play 3 card poker and I ended up spending all night at the table playing on only $40.  I did pretty good.  I was getting my practice in for VEGAS!!!  Thats where we will be spending the upcoming weekend.  I'm very excited to be going.  It will be my first time in vegas.  I'm excited to spend the weekend away with my husband.  I'm hoping that by next week I will be back on top of posting and be ready to start my work outs and diet and actually stick to them!!!

PHOTO DAY 10- PERSON IVE DONE THE MOST MESSED UP STUFF WITH

This is my best friend Jimmie!  All I can say is THANK GOD we have grown up!!!  We for sure had our moments doing our share of messed up things.  But I wouldn't take any of it back!  We have been friends since 9th grade and I wish we were still as close as we were back then.  I do still consider her to be one of my very best friends though!  Love ya Jimmie!!!!

I need some motivation!!!!!

HELP!!!!!  I just can't seem to get myself motivated to start my workouts and eating right.  My eating is a little better and I worked out for one flipping day and already want to give up!  Part of my problem is that I'm a VERY impatient person and don't want to wait to see a difference.  I know that is immposible so how do I get into the right mindset to get this going???  I'm looking for some workout plans, meal plans and motivational tips.  Anyone have any good ones?  I thought maybe this blog would be a good way of motivating myself so I just need to get with it, suck it up and get a routine going!

PHOTO DAY 9- WHO HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH THE MOST

I can't seem to narrow it down to just one person.  I have the best family and friends anyone could ask for.  They are ALWAYS there for me whenever I need them.  I love them! 

PHOTO DAY 8- PIC THAT MAKES ME LAUGH

If you have never tried this, I suggest you should!  Take a pic with different facial expressions and then click back and forth on them.  My family laughed forever at these and it was fun coming up with new ones!
