Perfect Timing

Just when the negative thoughts take over your mind and you just can't take anymore.  You find a one of the cutest 7 year olds shirt, that ended up in your laudry, What does it say THING HAPPY THOUGHTS.  If that doesn't flip your mind set.....nothing will.  It put a much needed smile on my face.  I didn't want to return it, but I had too!!  What a funny coincidence!!

 

 

So Hard...

Why is this so hard???  Loving yourself....It is so easy to dislike yourself, but loving yourself is incredibly hard.  It has been years since I liked me...I don't know how to like myself again.  Which makes it extremely hard to make necessary changes in my life to be happy!  These last few weeks have been really hard, very up and down...mostly down.  This is going to be one long tough journey...I need to get myself back on track.  One step at a time...One day at a time...

Feeling overwhelmed...

The amount of being overwhelmed with all the change I am trying to make...is pushing me over the edge.  If I am being honest there is a lot I have to work on with in myself....it is not just about losing weight, but fixing what made me gain the weight....This is a little more daunting task than I would hope!  Wishing I could just wake up tomorrow and it would all be fixed...right...well that is not how it works.  I know it won't happen over night, but a girl can dream.  Patience is a virtue right?? Well I need some serious patience and learn to take it one day at a time.  Ugh...not a very patient person especially when it comes to me! 

Why is it so hard to stay positive and motivated

My Nemesis...

 I have done really good the last few weeks not going out to fast food!!!  Lets be honest...I failed today!!  I was tired and just lazy and didn't want to cook.  90 degree weather didn't not help me!! UGH....for the first time in a long time it made me feel sick to my stomach...which is a good thing and maybe next time I will remember this feeling and decide to make a sandwich instead.  So I need to say goodbye...to fast food (I need some serious will power)...YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!!! (well maybe a little).  This is going to be tough!!! 
    

The good and the bad...

The Bad:

Last week I got a touch of food poisoning...I was out for a few days...didn't eat for almost 48 hours.  The only person I can blame is ME!! I swear I can cook! Took me about 4 days to feel normal again.  I didn't work out much last week.  :(  But.....

The Good: 

Down 5 lbs....pretty sure I can thank the food poisoning.  I will take it.  As an added bonus and I got to hang with these kiddos this weekend.  We camped out in the backyard.....and had a photo shoot. Gotta love em...Plus chasing them around, I am sure I burned plenty of calories!!

Oh Geez....

So if you are reading this then you are a friend on facebook. I will say it is super hard for me to let anyone in....ever....so this is going to be a new experience for me.  I am in need of some serious change in my life and doing it by myself isn't working as well as I would like it too...so maybe with a little support from those in my life..may help keep me motivated...Cause finding motivation is super hard for me.  I am almost 36...(where did the time go) and am not exactly where I would like to be in life.  There is still a lot of life left and I would really enjoy living it instead of wasting away doing nothing.  It is not a secret I need to drop a couple pounds...that seems to hold me back quite a bit...I tried doing this whole blog thing a little over a year ago, but no one really knew about it and quite honestly I sucked at it.  I was challenged to put it on facebook and let people in...well here goes...hopefully I will start making steps in the right direction and maybe find some much needed support.
