About Me

My photo
I started my weight loss journey at 19 years old weighing 274 pounds, wearing a Size 22-24. I lost 115 pounds over two years, and was wearing a size 8! I got married, let my determination fall and I slowly gained 50 pounds of that back. Then I got pregnant and added another 55 pounds onto what I had lost. I am down 35 pounds so far and 70 pounds away from my goal. Join me on this life long journey!

Busy busy busy

I feel like the theme of my posts lately are about how busy I've been but I have not stopped or slowed down in a few weeks and this week is no different! 

Yesterday Sean upgraded his blackberry to an iPhone and I upgraded to a iPhone 5. It is SO much faster and will allow me to do business stuff much quicker. Now that Sean also has an iPhone we can face time while I am away in September and October. 

Today I was getting the phones transferred over and set up for a good chunk of the day then went to Walmart to get a few items that I needed. Tonight I have my second last soccer game but not sure how well I will do since I trimmed the skin around my toe nail too short last night. Gross right? Thursday night is our last game so that will be one less thing to go to. 

I am really looking forward to this weekend but I'll write more about that later this week! 

Even though I've been really busy I have still been eating really well and making healthy choices. The other night it had been a VERY long rough day and it was 8:30 pm and I still hadn't had a chance to eat dinner so I was just about ready to order pizza when I talked myself out of it and just ate the healthy food I had already bought for dinner that night. Needless to say I was proud of myself! 

Last night for dinner we had a feast of a chicken  burger, green beans, asparagus, and the best corn on the cob you can imagine. Then we went to Kiwi Kraze for a frozen yogurt treat. 

Anyways, that's all for now or I'll be late for soccer!

Away and on plan

Oh wow. What a crazy week! I don't feel like I've sat down in the last 7 days at all (and the next few days are just as busy!). 

Last night we had a soccer game against the 1st place team. 7 of our players showed up. So we started the game and just kinda played anywhere. The other team was very sportsman like and didn't cream us. They didn't taunt us and they didn't go super easy on it either. They played by passing a lot more. 

After they were up by 5-0 we "called it a game" and then played for fun. They gave us 4 of their players and we played 12 vs 11 (we had the 12 lol). It was actually quite fun, not to mention a really good workout!!!

Today I went to Toronto with some of our Nutrie team for a mini training and we had a lot of fun (I think I even found a new babysitter!). We learned a lot and I stayed on track all day! After the conference we went to IKEA and then to dinner at Swiss Chalet - which has some good healthy choices. It feels SO good knowing I can do these things and with a little bit of planning still stay on track and not obsess over what I'm going to eat. 

Today I heard some inspirational speakers who said some intelligent things. 

1. Retreat - take a step back to push yourself forward. 

2. If you keep trying to cut down a tree with a dull axe because you are too busy to sharpen it you will waste more then if you stop. sharpen it. Then get back to work. 

Great points to contemplate - I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

It's already Thursday?!

I can not believe it is already Thursday night, practically Friday already! Where did the week go?! I have been really busy getting lots of business stuff done, we've got a lot of great ideas that we will soon be starting to work. We've been doing a lot of research and brain storming and so I am really excited for that.

I had a soccer game on Tuesday night - it was not too bad a game for me. I was feeling very discouraged after the game before. It was the first place team, much younger girls that were very fast, and I had no hope in keeping up. I felt quite down and upset at myself. Thankfully I did not take this out in eating, instead I got right back in there and didn't do too badly against this last team. Although yesterday and today I was quite sore and was having a bit of trouble walking/moving first thing in the morning.

Today we were going to do a photo session with Rylee to get some new pictures of her in some SUPER cute outfits I have. It was raining when I woke up so we post-poned to tomorrow morning. Instead of going back to bed I went to the gym to do a cardio session to get my legs loosened up. Following the cardio session I did a good stretch - it felt amazing to start the day off with a workout and a shower before getting going.

Tomorrow we are going to do the photo session (and get a family picture as well). Hopefully I can sneak some on my phone to give you a peak before the real ones are ready. After that I am heading to the states with my dad - last week I had to pay to get a new fan put in my lap top because it was over heating. Not even 12 hours after getting it back, it got dropped and the screen smashed *cough*husband*cough*. It truly was an accident, so it's not really a big deal, but I ordered a new screen and that has come in. Hopefully soon I can have my lap top back so that I can give my parents their little pee-wee back ;).

Anyways I have a long day ahead of me and a long weekend too so I am going to head to bed, even though there are a million other things I could and should be doing, I also need some sleep.

Night!
