Happy birthday to ME!




Today is my 34th birthday! I always welcome another year! I always feel accomplished if I've learned something new. This last year of life was a test, and I passed! I'm still smiling and I'm still coming up with ways to be a better person all around!

This has been one of the best birthdays I've had in recent years and the day is only half over!






I kinda have an admirer but I'll save those details for another day :)

Back to me!


Let me first say that I'm not stepping back on the scale until 9/1. My family has been here, my sister...2 nieces and 1 nephew are still at my house. They've been in Houston for two weeks, leaving tomorrow.

My mom, gram and baby sis were here as well for a few days. It's been a fun, crazy and reckless time! I've been eating, drinking and partying!



I love this picture!

Julianni was chosen as a park ambassador for the Houston Parks Department through the Houston Ladies Tennis Association. They chose 72 kids out of the 2800 across the city that participated in the youth tennis program this summer.

Here are a few picks from the awards ceremony:











Let me tell you this was one of THE BEST lasagna's I've ever had! I ate it all...head hangs low...

I am a very proud mama! When people meet my girls I hear nothing but great things! As a single mom that's the thing that matters the most. It validates me and all that I do for them sniffle!

I've been thinking I really haven't taken any full body pics in awhile. Here are a few over the last few weeks :)













I seem to have the same poses?? I'm working on it! There's still lots going on in my world, I can't wait to have that sense of normalcy again.

Moving this upcoming weekend, birthday next week, shadow boxes to be completed AND school starting for my girls. Somehow I've got to figure out how to jump back into my fitness routine. This entire summer has been a MAJOR FAIL!

I won't make excuses, I will do better!

Weigh Day 8/6/12




Let's get right down to business! I am up .6 lbs from last Monday. No complaints, my eating was off (calorie busting) over the weekend I'll talk about that in another post.

I still didn't buy a measuring tape, when I went to Joann's AND Michaels I forgot both times lol! But I did have the girls snap my pics after my Saturday workout. I had to have them do it while I was thinking about it...please excuse the hot sweaty mess!









I'm not feeling the mini muffin at all, I'm working on it! Last weeks workouts were Turbo Fire and Jillian Michaels' Ripped In 30. Five workout sessions, here's my last weeks totals:




I've got 5 workout sessions scheduled for this week, plus another potential calorie busting weekend with my family reunion (sigh). I'll get my workouts done, guaranteed!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!

August progress post!

I wanted to post this yesterday but was up early (4:30 am) completing a shadow box that needed to be mailed yesterday! Thank goodness I met my deadline but I was SLEEPY when I made it home!

Here's my scale pic from this morning pre workout:




Then I got ready to take my measurements and guess what? I can't find my damn measuring tape? I asked peat and repeat aka Julianni and Mimi and of course they haven't seen it hmmmmm okay O_o! So what I'll do this evening is take a couple body pics, and jot down my stats then post that tomorrow!

By my calculations I am up a whopping 21.8 pounds since this time last year. It was more...I've been chipping away at it.

I'm no longer stressed, irritated, frustrated or sad. Actually I'm finally getting back to my happy place! Let me tell you it feels really great! I've got my journal in my bag, still working on my new goals and rewards list. This time I think I'll be putting away $5 per pound to go towards shopping when I get back to #165.

23 weeks left in this year to lose 21.8 pounds, totally doable for me!

Oh yeah and in even happier news, my mom, gram, sister's, brother, nephews & nieces will ALL be here next week for our family reunion!!! This is just the pick me up I need! I miss them all SO MUCH :)
