Jillian Michaels Kickbox…

So I have been wanting to do this video for EVER now it seems like.. at least longer than a year. The past couple days the urge has been more. Today I woke up and said DON’T STOP ME I’M GOING TO DO IT and I did it. I knew if I didn’t just DO it I wouldn’t have done it. And I might have not finished but I started. Its a START. Now, I am going to do it every day!! Watch me y’all

 

My little man turns ONE tomorrow… And i realized, if you read my post from a year ago I was getting an oil change…. that was the last one.

OOOOPS 🙂

**NSV**

My underwear and all my pants have been loose and falling off my butt 🙂

Sucks but IM HAPPY ABOUT IT.

Just gotta start working out more

keep eating better

and remember to take my Thermofit and Fat Fighters ❤

I can do this.

Its been a while but…

I think its time AGAIN to write. I feel like I have seriously began this journey with Weight Loss and ItWorks that I am ready to continue to write about it..

My weight loss is just about at a standstill, however I began to really use It Works products and see better success than what I have been doing.. Although, in just 6 days my son will be a year old and I have only lost… um.. well. its been UP and DOWN. So its hard to say. But I have been at a steady 190

Another note, I finally moved out. YAY. Our first place together as a family on our own, and that brings me to my next subject..

It Works. I became an ItWorks distributor just at the end of July, and I believe I have an entry about it…

See, my husband, my kids and I have been living with my parents. We were always an extra paycheck short of being able to afford our own place. Times are tough and jobs are scarce. I can only work so much without needing a baby sitter and its just not enough with my husband and my checks combined.

We found an affordable living space in a nice area that was PERFECT. We were put on a six month wait and started saving heavily to our ability for when we got the call and sure enough we did two weeks ago. We  had the money to move out but nothing extra for what we needed. Sure enough, we had to charged up our credit cards. putting us in a bad position, but oh well we gotta do what we gotta do.

My husbands joining the National Guard for that Extra income to help us. But until then we will manage. Okay fast forward to the point..

So we’ve been charging for stuff because we have no money and four days til pay day, however I am just SO happy.. Somebody wanted to buy wraps. they did not want to order online. So they wanted to buy from MY stash which is retail price; I made $80.

$80 which bought us groceries. $80 which could have maxed out our credit cards or maybe even over limit. $80 that we did NOT have until Friday. I am grateful. Some people say It Works is a scam, a scam how?!

The products worked for me, my mom, my mother in law, my sister in law, my friends. I watched and wrapped personally these people who got AMAZING results.

I make extra money monthly by selling to people or having people buy from me, these products, that do exactly what it is meant to do. I just don’t understand why people knock it sometimes.

I have been short of money, but I was sick of living that way so I joined. And now I just hope people follow my story and see my succeed and decide they want to try this also. Until then, that’s my story update from the last few months 🙂

Much love to all ❤

i have my moments…

I dont try as hard as i should, at least i havent been.

Although i hate seeing what i look like and i tell myself it needs to change, i still dont try as hard as i should..

I have been making little changes here and there instead of a burger, i get a wrap, instead of a sandwhich i get a salad.

Not big enough changes though. -sigh-

Life has been testing me, i keep trying and trying with i have and something always has to interfere making my progress worse. Then i just want comfort food!

I have started using some of ItWorks products, which are naturally based so it doesnt make me feel as bad, but i really just need to incorporate exercise in my life.

I have also been having a sweating problem. Like not a glisten but the kind my hair gets wet as it starts dripping down my face talk about embarrassing. I have never been like this. Doesnt help its been humid!! I swear its all this extra weight… smh.

Okay Okay I regressed…

I stopped temporarily on my weight loss after the wedding. I was happy enough to have dropped a whole dress size and IDK life happened, a lot of vacationing, eating, visitors, yeah. Stopped with the weight loss. I should have had more discipline I know. But at least I didn’t gain much than I had lost. But I am starting up again. I recently signed up with ItWorks! And now will be selling the product as well as using it and starting my own 90 day challenge, I would LOVE for others to join me along the way so we can share our progress and what products we are trying… if anyone would like to let me know! It will be fun. Maybe choose a work out video or something to do a few times a week and be weight loss buddies-group!

Much love to all!

Work from home.. Ways to make money…

So since I have been at home a lot more I have been trying to find ways to make a LITTLE extra money.

I am not talking get rich over night type stuff, just ANYTHING really I don’t care.

I came across this instant rewards thing that pays you per referral to try out major companies. For instance, I signed up with godaddy for $12 got myself a website I can  now link this wonderful blog onto and what not, and now if anyone else wants to give it a try I will then get $20. And you guys give it a try and refer people you then also get paid commissions!

http://www.starter.instantrewards.net/index.php?ref=668365

Here’s the link if anyone wants to give it a try. I saw a person making around 120-200$ a week just referring people through facebook. I researched it, and now giving it a try 🙂

Anxiety…

Part of the reason of failure for me happens to be anxiety.

If I start craving something I get anxiety if I don’t get it. I will try to eat something healthier than what I am craving but the anxiety will cause me to keep eating until I am satisfied or I get what I am craving.

One of the main reasons, well the only reason I suppose, I haven’t been able to work out like I would like is my fear of going to the gym alone. I don’t know why but my anxiety gets crazy and I damn near get a panic attack. I can say I am going to go, get dressed, get in my car, pull up to the gym but I will not be able to get out. I recently got a gym membership and I haven’t gone ONCE. It has been OVER a month now. I feel like if I had someone to go with me the first time to at least get the initial freak out out of the way it will help conquer the fear and anxiety to keep going but I just haven’t done it yet.

I have tried going once by myself, I got on the tread mill, and after 5 minutes I almost had a panic attack and had to leave. I do not know what it is, but I will get over it. I will conquer this. I will be able to go to the gym so I can continue this journey of a healthier lifestyle and lose the weight I need to.

I wanted to address this issue now while I was still early in the journey so I can put it out in the universe and kick this anxiety’s butt. Say “SCREW YOU” I am outing myself, outing my gym anxiety and hoping it will help me overcome it so I can also look back in a couple of months and say HA. I did it. And if anyone else is like me and has this irrational fear as well, you can read this and see that is do-able. I have not done it yet, lol, but I will get there. . .We can all get where we want to be with the right mentality. Our minds are stronger than we can possibly imagine. So when you think you can’t possibly go ‘there’, you can.

*Of course I have anxiety in all sorts of situations I deal with, I was using my anxiety of eating and the gym in particular though for this post, everyone deals with anxiety in different ways and forms*

❤ Much Love and Peace to all ❤

End of week 1,beginning Week 2

Yay let me start by saying 5 pounds is a great start. I still have not been able to work out “hardcore” or at all like I picture myself doing in my head but I have dropped down and done like 20 girl push ups, 20 crunches, 20 squats, and some arm weights at least 3 times that week. And although my “diet” started hardcore and strong I did ease up a little. For instance, I did have a cup of coffee with milk and a LITTLE sugar towards the end of the week. But I still made sure to not eat out (yesterday my husband did buy me a soft taco from tacobell which i was upset about but oh well i ate it) Clearly I still lost weight and didn’t go up so I will just not do that again lol. This week I hope to really add more “weight training” or cardio in and just keep eating healthy.

This is really frickin hard. Its not easy. I am queen of fast food pizza and burgers. Midnight drive thru’s and baking cookies.

The one whos “tried” everything and tried a million times and the one that “nothing” works on.

I will be the one who actually tries with no excuses this time and actually succeeds.

❤best of luck and love to all ❤

Green, Purple, Pink…

The less I eat out and more “green” I eat… the more I am actually ENJOYING IT. I had a “wrap bowl” today which had lettuce and spinach and normally I would somewhat gag as I forced myself to eat through it engorged in ranch or something but today I actually was longing for the taste in a weird unfamiliar way I was not used to and that is when I realized I was becoming USED to eating healthier and actually ENJOYING and LIKING healthier food. They say it happens but I did not know it actually does… THANK GOD I don’t have to gag through greens for much longer 😉

and I might actually start craving it!

🙂 Okay quick post ended ❤ Much love to everyone!

busymommy,dieting,makingchanges…

I don’t know what it is about today but danggg have I been busier than normal.

But besides that, today is also DAY NUMBER 2 Of my “OFFICIAL” “REAL”TRYING HARDER FULL FORCE dieting. And HONESTLY I feel like it is getting easier to say No. I really hope I do and don’t become one of those cliche people that say oh you can do it anyone can do it, if I can do it you can do it, but you darn bet ya I do hope so because Mark my words as date number two and if you have been following, I have “tried” everything, I have failed, I have been unsuccessful, I have paid money for prescriptions that didn’t work, (Contrave being one, another example being a combination of topamax with a stimulate) I have tried that Garcinia Cambogia or whatever the heck its called lol. So I am trying to make this another one of those posts in history to look back on as proof of my struggle. *Only Day 2* For Breakfast I ate Toast with Egg on top with some Salsa on it. Lunch I had this little chicken wrap kit thing my husband bought me that said the whole bowl was 270 calories, I swear it was mainly lettuce and had like no chicken but whatever no complaints :), and dinner I had a real piece of grilled chicken wrapped in a real piece of lettuce with a few drips of ranch in it. Oh I also had Green tea with No sugar and black coffee again no sugar.

If anyone knows me they know i LOVE my coffee with LOADS of sugar and cream or Milk, and like 3-5 cups a day SO Eliminating the sugar the last 2 days is a HUGE accomplishment alone, and you know, I never thought I’d like it before clearly which is why I dolled it up so much but WOW its actually not THAT bad…

I have noticed I have cut out alot of pointless snacking through-out the day and as I mentioned saying NO to foods has become a lot easier… So honestly after many of many times tryinng before I feel this time MIGHT just be successful which is why I want this to be a mark in my journey to reflect back on, especially for anyone who thinks they cant. TRUST ME, its hard.
