lately, i've been wanting to get back to my exercising. this big girl, who's mostly, always been out of shape, has missed workingout! my eating has been ok, nothing super duper healthy, but nothing awful either. i miss the exercising, and i'm working on that ... hopefully as of tomorrow.
with the feelings from wanting to get back in the swing of things, i haven't weighed in either.
lately, different, random people of my life have said, "you look like you've lost some weight." i always reply, "not so much, but thanks anyways".
i don't take compliments very well. i'm a lot like my mother in the regard.
so, friday morning, i decided to weigh in. i wasn't looking forward until i did the math. then i stepped off the scales,and back on then subtracted again.
i'm half way to my goal! i have exactly a month to loose the over half. now, i'm back motivated!
i keep thinking, wow - the first ten pounds took 2 months and you only have a month. well, i'm hoping to really jump start the exercising and see what that will do. i'm hoping in all to be down 26 pounds by my 26th birthday this may. the end to meeting these goals is so close!
thank goodness it's springtime! even if it is dogwood winter here in north bama, and slightly freezing.
so, here's to new motivation,and then next ten pounds!
what do you do to help stay motivated to loose weight and stay on your plan?

march madnes
and no, i'm not talking about the basketball stuff that my mother is all upset about (something about a bracket she has made isn't working well for her ... bless her and her passion for all sports).
march has been a crazy, fast, busy month! seriously! have you seen what the date is?????!!!!!! the 24th?! already???? yes! sheesh!
so, what has march brought for this single, self-employed chick?
~ busy,busy days coloring every one's hair or cutting it all off! what can i say?! spring has sprung!
~ i now have another job - i'm a dealer for premier designs. i'm so so so so so so so so excited about this new path!!!! i've loved their jewelry for, well literally, years! now, instead of having parties to get LOTS of free jewelry, i'll be making money for it : )
~ LOTS of "big girl" moves have happened in a weeks time, i kid you not!
~ tough lesson learned: banks no longer look at a person who is 100% debt free and has no credit as a good thing ... so here's to establishing credit ... ugh ... oh well
~ i have a laptop, rather, a net book. it's very little, and simple!! i'm so lost about computers, especially for my age. but i'm loving having my own laptop and wireless internet!
~ dealing with my aunt wanting to "hook me up" with some man. i'm not big on blind dates, and not real sure as much as i love her ( she's been more than an aunt to me and my siblings our whole lives), i trust her opinion on this topic. and this is awful, i don't like his name. that's probably not a nice thing to say, but there's just something about this whole thing i'm just not sure of ... hmmm ...
~ how can i forget - birthdays??!!! my daddy had his bday saturday. i worked all day long and then my mom threw down on some country cooking! all the nephews were here and after supper we all burned a lot of calories by running after the twins, holding nephew C, and playing with my sis' step son. her step daughter was sleeping over at her g'ma's.
next up on the bday list is my papa! that's another thing that's happened - the first of the month he was sick and the doctors weren't so sure if had had a stroke or not. thankfully, it wasn't a stroke, and as of today, his neuro doctor isn't sure what it is, but is thinking it was a one time deal. i like that diagnosis! i love my papa more than i could ever describe! i can't imagine not having him, my granny, my parents or really any of my family in my life. i know it's selfish, but it's the truth. so, today a huge burden was lifted! now, on to celebrate his 76th bday next week!
~ i'm now on the advisory board for a local charity place that serves the area of the county i live in and even where i work. they actually have a much larger need to help the small town i work in. it's not really a charity,but for safety i'll not list their name. they have a food pantry ministry, they do so much with the school, have an awesome thrift store, and i could literally go on and on and on about the wonderful things they do and the why of what they do. their hope and prayer is that one day the cycle of poverty for this area will be broken, parents can provide for their families and have dignity, and the school will have parental support like none other. my heart has been broken over one of their ministries -bags of blessings b.o.b. - they send home 335 bags of food with students every friday so these 335 will not starve over the weekend. seriously. we have 335 kids in one very small school/community going hungry on the weekends. heart break doesn't describe what i'm feeling right now.
so, anyways - how about you??? has march and spring have you in a new found craziness?

spring fever
has sprung! i'm ready to hear everyone start saying."what a lovely, nice,pleasant,and LONG spring we're having!"
yes! i'm ready for sunshine, yellow box flops, happy days, daylight savings time!, new OPi nail polish colors!, and grills going outside!
my mind is racing with lots of things right now. for one, i'm thankful February is over with! yes, it was a good month. a crazy, fast,busy month! the new plan of healthy living got cut out somewhat.
March is going to be different. Did you hear me? I promise! I have so much coming up that I want to be healthier.
Last week, on my off day, my mom and I took my twin nephews for a few minutes to play outside. I was literally jogging all over our front yard. never once did i get winded. what?! yep! i felt awesome the whole time! before that i was chasing one nephew on way in our house and the other the other way. we were playing hide-go-seek, or at least the 16 almost 17 month old version of that game : )
the whole time i felt great! picking up 50+ pound of nephews (when holding them together), running, bending up and down, crawling, laughing, etc i'm sure burned a lot of calories.
i keep thinking of that day, and of them and my other sweet,precious, HAPPY nephew and it makes me yearn for the big results yesterday!!!!!!!
so, here's to small results today, this week and this month!
here's to doing and planning for me. that seriously made me cringe. this is something i'm not use to ....
Happy March ya'll!
