This comment made me think...

I received a comment on my last post regarding my long distance relationship that really made me think. Polar's Mom posted this...

Polar's Mom said...

You know what? I think as soon as you accept the situation, and this sounds weird, but love it, then planets will align to get you too together. I know this is easier said than done, and I know you are probably stressed alot, but I got a good feeling for you guys...keep your chin up!

Polar's Mom thank you for saying this! I've never thought to love and accept the idea of being apart. I've spent the last two + years stomping and kicking the shit out of the entire idea!

When it comes down to it we've made the decision to make it work and to stay a team while doing so. I have never had a feeling of such peace and calm in my relationship. When I tell you we compliment each other well it's an understatement! We're both Virgo's with super similar personalities. He gets me and he allows me to be myself. He's the first man that I can really share my feelings with.

I'm going to try and take Polar's Mom's advice. I'm going to try to live and love him in this moment without complaining. Real unapologetic, unconditional love is hard to come by. I have that with my honey.

Thanks to all of you that left comments on that post and wished your blessings upon us. That meant a lot to me * tear*! He doesn't read my blog but I'm sure if he did he'd say thank you as well...in his SEXY "Nawlins" accent!

The Honey Do *smiles*

For those of you that are new to my blog, I appreciate you coming to hang with me :-)!

I've mentioned this before in previous post but I've been in a long distance relationship (me in Houston, him in New Orleans) for two years, two months and twenty four days...but really who's counting?



Honey do's truck

Okay so having his truck parked outside is a big damn deal, he hasn't been in Houston since June and I hadn't seen his face since the end of July! It's hard on me going through my days without having him here physically. This is one of the greatest challenges I've ever faced.

I know that it's equally hard on him and I can forget that at times. There are so many things to factor into our visits, mainly cash and our kids. There's always something going on and something that needs to be paid for. Now the girls are getting involved in sports, his son plays basketball damn near year round...I don't know how we're going to do this?

I do know that there is no other man better for me. I kept asking God for signs, whether or not I should throw in the towel or keep working at it. I get signs all of the time showing me that he is IT and I keep going. His way of handling things is completely opposite of mine, I don't understand it but I respect it.



He chills when he's with me :-)...my leg and my foot

We had a very good weekend, did a lot of talking and a lot of laughing. Even if we're in the same room not talking, just relaxing...I'm happy and he's happy!

I ask my blog buddies that do pray to keep us lifted. I know that I wasn't sent someone so perfect for me and me for him with no purpose. I don't understand the distance and why we met the way that we did but we are very close because of it.

Nothing is guaranteed but if you have someone that is good to you and for you, cherish that. It's hard to come by and easy to miss of you're not paying attention! All smiles!!

*I miss him already...soon as he goes...half of my heart leaves with him*- The LDR

Healthy Lifestyle Meet Up- Help Through The Holiday's!

I'm a lil tardy for the party, as the other ladies have already posted about our first meet up last weekend! Please cut me some slack..thanks!



The ladies and I!

The weather was absolutely perfect for the walk! It was nice meeting the ladies that I hadn't already met. After the walk at Hermann Park we ate lunch at Hungry's Cafe.



I had had this! Tex-Mex omelette, black beans and new potatoes...Delish!

I'd never been to Hungry's before, the food was pretty good! I didn't walk out feeling overly stuffed which is a great thing being that we were meeting to work on our healthy lifestyle!

So our next event is in the works...SKATING!!! Woot Woot! I haven't been on skates in years BUT I'm up for the challenge! For those of you that didn't come to the walk, come kick it with us at the rink! Tentative date is Saturday, December 3rd. Details soon to follow!

Thanks to all the ladies that participated Ro @ Ro Gets Fit, Trina @ Me So Hongry, Makiea @ Interior Intensive, Shawn @ Changing Weighs, Dee @ Just Dee AND my girl Mo, who doesn't blog but is committed to a healthy lifestyle as well!

Our girls Reiko @ Gods Favorite Shoes, Juanette @ Fashion Nette-Work ALMOST had lunch with us...but did share a few laughs before we parted ways!

Please have NO reservation about coming to hang with us if you couldn't make it! We all have a common goal to support each other and crack jokes in between!

My very FIRST outfit post!

The weather was nice enough yesterday morning to wear what I intended to wear to church last week, here it is!

I immediately fell in love with the shape of this dress as well as the $4 price tag! Let's see if I can get a good grade from my fashion instructor Queen Reiko @ Gods Favorite Shoes

















Dress- thrifted, Belt- thrifted, Necklace & Earrings- Anne Klein, Shoes- Nine West

I like the way this turned out! My girls took turns taking the pics so there are a few from both of them :-). They're learning a few things too! I noticed while editing the pics that my necklace is crooked!! Dang it! Oh well!

This was fun and I can see myself thinking more about what I wear and how I wear my clothes. Watch for the next outfit post!

New bracelet techniques!

I've been wanting to make cuff bracelets for forever but oddly enough, I have to be in the right mood to create!

Last weekend I was in the mood to create and I came up with these!









Pics aren't the best quality but you get the idea. I've never made anything like this before, I like the way they turned out! I'm calling these "rough drafts" because I need to tweak some things.

Because I am loving this style of bracelet I'll make more this weekend! Pics to follow :-)

Weigh day..and a lil something fun!

It's that time again, weigh day! One way I hold myself accountable is to be completely honest with my journey.



Scale pic 11/1/11

I believe that's up a little over five pounds since the beginning of last month? It could be worse...trust me! Losing 100+ pounds wasn't as difficult for me as maintaining my loss. I haven't been tracking my eating but I have been working out. I know that planning and tracking is even more important than working out. Today I am committing to tracking everything I eat for the next 30 days. Good, bad or ugly I'm writing it down!

This just came to me but I now understand that reaching my goal weight was like chasing a high (I've never done drugs but I can imagine)! I have to be straight up honest with you when I say, that high of chasing my goal weight is gone because once I reached it, the high was gone!

I've flip-flopped a few times about what my next goal will be, I still don't really know? I like the way my body looks between 160-165. I like the sexiness of lean muscle too! When I really know...y'all will be the first to know!

I could talk about my workouts and food but I'd much rather share my girls' Halloween pictures now! They are growing up SO fast! I think they were calling themselves Diva Fairy Princesses lol!


















If you haven't already got in touch with me regarding the meet up on 11/12...please do so!!
Houston Healthy Lifestyle Meet Up! RSVP by 11/5/11 if you haven't already done so!
