Try again

You know. I used to dispise yogurt! I remember my Mom used to buy me the Trix yogurt and I would try a bite then throw the rest away. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found a new fondness to it. Brad started buying yogurt recently with the Dannon Light & Fit. Oooh my! It’s really, really good! I espically love the cherry. I’m having some right now as part of my snack. It has a different taste than the usual yogurts which I really like and It’s got a smooth texture.

The past couple days have been a little bit cooler than the usual 98-100 degree weather. It’s currently 93 and I don’t have the air running! I had it going earlier and got REALLY cold. I get cold easily espically on the not blazing hot days because I drink so much water lol. I got all my laundry done for the week!!!! Usually I take more time with it and get done Wednesday and sometimes Thursday but I went ahead and washed and folded two loads today instead of my usual just one.

I really wish Mom lived closer so I could go visit her more than just once or twice a year. I was hoping she was gonna be able to move down here around August but I dunno if that’s gonna happen because it would be pretty expensive for her and it would be another big, tiring move but I sure do want her to move here.

I can’t believe how loose my rings are getting on my fingers!! Speaking of weight loss. I know when I used to read blogs about people losing weight - I’d be like “PFFT whatever, good for you! I’ll never be able to do that!” And when you get in that state of mind and are overweight It’s hard to see the positive, hopeful side of things espically when stepping forward towards weight loss seems impossible. What did I do differently to motivate myself? I GOT UP and TRIED! Then when I tried.. I kept GOING. That is the MOST important thing ever is to just keep going and never giving up on yourself. A lot of people will get up and try but then give up. You can’t do that If you want it to last and WORK! Now everything is clear to me. That I have to keep going, stay positive and never, ever give up because I BELIEVE in myself. I BELIEVE in staying happy, active and healthy because that means everything to me. I don’t want to sit around and gain weight ANYMORE. I did that for a long time and I REFUSE to let my life slip into that routine again because I feel so alive and happy now. DON’T say you can’t do it !!!! Everyone can do it, It just takes kicking yourself in the butt a little. If you REALLY want to be healthy and active then WHY NOT keep going? I have wanted this for so long for myself and I’m going to MAKE SURE to hang onto this lifestyle.

“when you can’t go on, ya gotta get up and try!”

Oh happy

You know. I can finally say that I am completely happy. For SO LONG I felt so empty inside and in a slump but since I’ve gotten into religion and this new lifestyle I have going, It has really helped me achieve true happiness. It’s incredible because my life used to feel like It wasn’t worth anything. I had to set the wrong things in my life… to the right. That took some getting used to but now that I am where I am today, I would NOT change a thing!!!!!!!!! My life, my family and love mean everything to me.

Ooooh did it feel great to get back on the treadmill today! I felt so much more hyped after I was finished jogging today. It’s great to have the weekend to rest from the exercise but I was more than ready to start a new week of exercise! I really look forward to it because it makes me happy. I’ve had a very busy but very very good day. This morning while Katie played in her crib I started to clean or organize our storage room. The closet in there was a mess since after we moved in, I just basically threw all extra in there. I had about an hour this morning to start out and I got pretty sweaty! Stopped at noon to put Katie down for a nap and then do my exercise plus lunch and shower. Once I fed Katie again then I played with her some then we went back upstairs so she could play in her crib and I could finish the room up. I got done and It doesn’t look too different in the main room but the closet does, you can actually get in there so I’m very happy about that. Katie has been excellent all day which just really thrills me. Speaking of her.. It’s after 8pm so I’m about to have to wrap this up and put her to bed!

We’re having catfish tonight! OOO yum! Same agenda tonight as usual lol… dinner, video games and possibly One Tree Hill! I love just hanging out with my hubby at night.

I love my life.

Short post

Yeah, this is gonna be a short post because I’m tired and dinners cooking.

Church went great!! Katie was overall good and I taught in the women’s meeting today for the last time for a while, yay! This afternoon has been pretty lazy and man, I can’t wait for dinner and some good sleep later tonight.

What’s in store for tonight? Dinner. One Tree Hill. Interwebz. Possibly some video games AND my favorite.. SLEEP!!!!

Sounds like an A+ to me! Have a good night!
