The dreaded "before" pictures.

 When I started this blog I was super motivated but fell into the same old cycle. Get motivated, work out for a couple of months then stuff my face with chocolate (and pizza and taco bell and...) One day, I woke up and was just done. I was sick of my stomach problems, I was sick of being out of breath while running after my kids, I was sick of being ashamed of my body, and just being plain sick. I am taking it one day at a time now. Working on bettering myself and being a good example for my kids. This is a new beginning. Here are my before pictures and stats...

• Weight:147.2 lbs
• Height: 5 ft
• Jean/ Dress size: 8/L
• Waist: 38 inches
• Hips: 39.5 inches
• Neck: 13 inches
• Righ/Left Thigh: 20/20 inches
• Right/Left Calf: 12.5/12 inches
• chest: 40.5 inches
• Shoulders:16 inches
• Right/Left Arm: 10/9.5 inches

I CAN DO THIS.

AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge.

 That's right ladies and gents! I am taking the plunge and today was my first day with the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge. I am SO excited to have stumbled onto this amazing company (Thanks Nicole!) I haven't done my before pictures (I know. Shame, Shame!) but I did do my measurements. Which, by the way, was horrifying! To keep me accountable, tomorrow when I take my before pics I will post them on here along with my measurements. I am hoping it will go something like this...

 Okay, but in all seriousness, I am hoping to tone up and LOSE THE BELLY. Dear baby and bearded Jesus this belly has got to go!! I am also giving away a free box of SPARK! Y'all, this is the thing that has taken over my coffee addiction and gets me through the day. I have no idea how I have lived this long without this baby in my life. Leave me a blog comment and enter to win. You will not be sorry! Or if you want to check out AdvoCare this is my link. I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend.

Life.

Life has gotten in the way of this wee little blog. The last month Bailey (our furbaby) broke her leg, tons of therapies and doc appointments (and hopefully diagnosis), sicknesses and two new ventures have happened. I am not going to lie and say I have stayed on the healthy train. I haven't. It has been hard, we are going through a rough patch over here to say the least and I have been eating my feelings. I haven't worked out in over two weeks due to being sick and taking care of sick kiddos. I miss it and I can't wait to start up again once I kick this strep. I hope y'all will stick with me. In the next couple of days I will be revealing my new ventures and there will be GIVE AWAYS!!

Motivational Monday!

Good Monday morning! I hope y'all had a good weekend. We took the kids to the zoo and continued the massive mountain of laundry. Here are some of my favorite motivational quotes and pics! I hope you enjoy.

All of these were found on google images. My computer is messing up so I cannot link. Sorry!

Today I will work out. Today I will eat right. Today I will look at myself in the mirror and see my beauty not my flaws. Today I will set goals and work hard towards them.

2014 FITNESS GOALS:

• Fit into my favorite pair of jeans (size 6)
• Gain muscle
• Wear a bikini and not be self conscious.
• Try to eat paleo 90/10
• Not beat myself up if I slip up. 
• Be able to do a REAL push up.
• Be able to do a pull up without help

These are my goals.

Falling off the wagon.

It has been almost 2 months since I dusted off my keyboard. And in that time I fell off the wagon. I fell HARD. Copious amounts of chocolate, soda and cheese were shoveled into my face. I am not proud of it. I am human. If this was last year (hell, even 6 months ago) I would give up and say "I've already ruined everything." But not this time. This time I have picked myself up, dusted it off and got back to working out. Ben and I started doing P90x. I am not a huge fan. It does work, I would just rather lift. Oh lordy, I never thought I would say that. I gained more motivation today when I took some progress pics. I  can do this. So can you.

We also just moved into a new house. I will give a house tour and updates as we fix stuff up. Stay tuned.
xoxo
