Work it out!

 

 

Every successful workout includes selfies, right?! Here's last weeks 1st work out.

 

 

 

 

Learning to be healthy & happy

Once again, I am starting to buckle down on getting fit, healthy & happy. 
I've started down this road many many times over the past few years and I really want this time to stick! 
I have so much to gain & so little to lose- except physically!- I just gotta DO IT! 

A co-worker and I have decided to start keeping each other accountable. Staying motivated is the hardest part and hopefully if we keep each other on track we can achieve our goals. 
I am counting my "weight watchers points" & setting an exercise goal each week. 
This week my goal is at least 30 mins of exercise 3x a week. 


Wish me luck! 




What weight-loss, fitness, or work-out tips do you have? 

New Year-New You!

Well...it's a new year which

means it's time to start over with our 

New Year's Resolutions. 

What are your new years resolution? 

How did you do with last years? 

My resolutions are:

1. Get closer to God.

 I have let this 

relationship grow farther apart despite that

it should be one of the most important 

things in life. 

I work weekends so going to Church 

on Sundays unfortunately isn't an option right now. 

I have started a daily devotional bible reading plan. 

I am on day 4 today & I have really 

enjoying it. 

It's actually an app on my Kindle Fire{fabulous Christmas 

gift from the hubby!} It's through YouVersion, and 

has lots of options to choose from & was free! It even sends you reminders each day

so you don't forget your reading. Perfect for me!

I am reading-" Joyce Meyer:Promises for Your Everyday Life-daily devotional"

2. Get Fit & Healthy

This was also last years resolution & it didn't make priority in my life. 

This year, it's really important that I get back on track. 

I'm tired of not having any clothes that fit, worrying about what I look like, 

eating way too much junk and frankly feeling like "CRAPOLA" about myself. 

I have teamed up with some girls from work

to enter a weight-loss/healthy living program at Mission. 

Today is day 4, and I'm doing OK. 

Eating healthier & exercising need to become part

of my daily life. Not relying on food to make me happy

is going to be hard...I have become a emotional eater. 

BUT, I WILL change these behaviors & get healthy! 

3. Be Thankful & Enjoy my FAMILY 

Cyrus is growing up SO fast, and I don't want to take it for granted. 

My goal is to take time to enjoy my family, my blessings, and 

be the best MOM & WIFE I can. 

It's so easy to get caught up with life & miss moments that

could turn into memories. 

Enough is Enough!

Well, day after day I am frustrated by getting dressed & ready because NOTHING fits me, or fits me right. I have gone up & up in pant sizes, and I've had enough! My confidence level has dropped as the number on the scale goes up. I don't love what I see in the mirror, and the thought of wearing a bathing suit makes me want to cringe. SO, enough is enough.

I am starting a healthy eating/living goal TODAY!

I'm not going to do a specific diet, rather a combination of counting my Weight Watchers points{since thanks to my Mom I have all the stuff : ) } and following the NO FAST FOOD{unless it's healthy} RULE. I will start at the gym on Thursday A.M. And I will be keeping a food diary.

I don't want to be stick skinny, and I don't expect to look like I did before I had my son. I just want to be happy, healthy, and comfortable in my own skin.

So here goes nothing...WISH ME LUCK! Hahaha...and self control!
