My Best Day Ever!!!

Hey Chics!

So this is going to be pretty short and sweet. Here it is almost midnight and I just finished working out and now I am blogging. I am starting to get on the schedule that fits me so much better. I have tried to fight it by working out early and waking up early but I have come to terms with the fact that I am a night owl! I am still wide awake and after this I am going to clean my house before I take a shower and call it a night. Now if only Cole was more on this schedule lol.

Well my question for you today is...What was your best day ever and why was it so great??? Here is mine...

This past year we took the family up to Tennessee to see the snow and relax. This was also going to be Cole's first time seeing snow. I can still remember the ride up for almost 8 hours we all got to keep hearing Cole say, "I want to see the snow!"

My best day was the first day that we got there. We got to the welcome center to Seiverville and there was the snow! We got out and a snow ball fight started immediately. Cole was eating snow, don't worry we had the whole "yellow snow" talk. They even got grandpa in on the fun.

After that we were off to the cabin. There we built Cole's first snowman, had a couple more snowball fights, and laughed and had fun. All of us! 

Now the kicker to all of this was once we got to the cabin there was no power! I huge storm had come the day before and left many places still without power and ofcourse one of those cabins was ours. And did this girl have vacation insurance? Of course...not! Do I purchase it every time now? You betcha!

They would be able to get us in another cabin the next day so we roughed it. And the next day we laughed about it. Really we still laugh about it and every time we go to the mountains now it is a joke.

Why was it the best day ever???

It was one of the few times we felt like a family. It has been a lot harder blending this family than I thought it would be. So this was a day when we all laughed together, played together, and got along. So this is a day a mom like me will cherish always.

Now normally there is a quote to follow but tonight I am going to post pics from that awesome vacation!

 

The FULL Transformation!

Hey Chics!

So I have begun to read a new book. Choose More, Lose More for Life by Chris Powell. You know the yummy trainer from Extreme Weight Loss. He is so yummy isn't he? Yup you so know he is. 

Anyway so I started reading his book yesterday and I am loving it. I am not flipping through in trying to find this big secret to lose this weight. I am going page by page and getting all the info I possibly can from this book. I have a friend who also is reading it and loves it and has been losing weight from the plan. I am not that far yet. 

The first part of this book is about the secrets to your transformation. The first one is to believe. The other part is to realize that there is a reason you are over weight. In this there are some questions you must answer and in the end  they are all positive questions.

I am not done answering these questions but they made me feel better just thinking about all these great things. Some of them are deeper than others. So I will share the first ones with you tonight. I have these written in my journal but I want to share with you and you could also do this too.

Walking Through the Fog!

Hey Chics!

Did you think I was gone again? Nope. I have been just trying to figure out a lot maybe too much at once. Who knows. Oh yea I do. Probably thinking of way too much at once. I have enough in my head for about 5 blogs so this should be a good week of back to back blogs. For now I will just rant about how I have been feeling and a little into why. So I will give you a minute to get comfy and then I will get to it...

Okay! So I was out of it for 2-3 weeks. It sucked! And honestly it sucked me dry. I was ready to go again and guess what...all the drive and passion was gone. To be honest just didn't care. Why didn't I care? Dang if I know I just didn't. I even asked on the group page I am on what could I do to get motivated and nothing still clicked.

I truly I feel like I am in a fog right now. I am trying to figure out so much right now. How to get this weight off is of course the first thing. What sucks is there is no support here. I love my husband and my kids but what I am doing is not for them and I get that. And yes I know it is up to me to change my life but it just sucks that I feel so alone doing it.

There are no close friends. Do I have friends? Sort of. Anyone who I know I could call at anytime. Nope. It just doesn't work that way. My biggest supporter is my 2 year old. He is the one every morning ready to get up and exercise!

Like I said I just feel lost in a fog. Sorry if this blog is so choppy. Might not even make sense. For me though this is just my thought process sometimes...

So now I get on to my "job." I am in direct sales. I sell pretty lockets. Do I like the company. Sure do. An I going to stay with it? Probably not. I have no time. We have our main business and then I am a mom. I started doing this on the side as a hobby so I could  have a break, get out of the house, etc. Nope! What the hell was I thinking! Once again I will put this on the back burner. Maybe once Cole is in school I will do something else.

Wow this isn't a blog. This is a vent! This is not a pitty fest. Just a vent fest! I know what I want to do. I want to get this weight off and prove everyone wrong. I want to be healthy and I want to help people. Right now I help people with my locket business. I make 1 locket a month for someone who could use a pick me up. I have given 4 away so far. 2 to cancer patients and 2 to ladies who had angel babies. I love doing it. Believe me this direct sales business is not a money maker for me and I am fine with that. It is just nice to see someone smile.

I get it. This blog makes no sense. Are you in as much of a fug as I am in now?
I think it would be better if I just let it go and get some sleep! :)
