Finally motivated!!

So like many resolutions some of mine have fizzled out... But I'm glad to say I'm making progress with my weight loss!

I lost a couple at the end of last year but then Christmas hit and all the junk was so irresistible.. After my Christmas binge I was sitting at 155 lbs.. I'm happy to report after weighing this morning I'm down to 148! For just a few weeks that's pretty damn good if I do say so myself :)

Myfitnesspal is definately playing a big role! Me and a few other friends use this social media to keep track of each other and I must say it really does work if u stick with it! I keep myself under 1200 calories, myfitnesspal pal tracks everything for me and bam! Weight loss is happening!

3 more pounds and my 1st goal will be met! Soooo excited!

My wedding is in 4 months and I'm going to the beach in 5... I want to be comfortable with my body! That's my ultimate goal!

Tomorrow my best friend and maid of honor Jamie and I are going wedding dress shopping, I must say I'm pretty excited.. Especially since I have lost a lil weight! It's going to be a good day!

This is the dress I want... Hopefully I can find something like it!

Resolutions..

I have so many New Years Resolutions I feel like I need to write them down to keep track! So here goes...

1. Be the best mother/fiancé/wife/ teacher/daughter/friend that I can be!

2. Quit smoking

3. Get to my goal weight of 135 lbs

4. Quit sodas

5. Complete the insanity challenge (I've been doing insanity but was on a break, going to start over on Monday)

6. Save money!

7. Find a new teaching job when I move in May

8. Start grad school

9. Survive planning my wedding (ahh)

10. Take care of my body and health (vitamins, moisturize, lots of water, etc

Some of these I'm starting Monday when I go back to work.. Like insanity and no soda

It's a lot of changes but all are things I need to do to be a better me! Definitely ready to feel the changes!

I'm going to end with a picture of me and my world.. Love him to the moon and back!

Insane, yes I am!

So I have decided to do the Insanity challenge! Yes it's gonna really kick my butt! Since we've decided to move our wedding date up to this summer I've got to do something extreme! Wish me luck! Hope to post before and after pictures really soon!!

Tomorrow it's back to school, workouts, and Kase back to preschool. Guess enough with the procrastination.. I've got lesson plans to do!

Question: Does anyone have any secret weight loss tips that could be helpful??

I'm back!

Wow I haven't posted since July! Well I'm back.. And here's a few updates..

• I'm engaged!

• Kase had his 1st birthday last month

• I have started exercising again with a girl from work, although we aren't hitting it quite as hard as I need to be!

• I will be moving in with Jon in June.

• I'm loving my first year of teaching 1st grade and I'm really going to be sad when I have to find a different school when Kase and I move. 

• I've decided to run a 5k in may, a glow run to be exact, which means the training is fixing to pick up its pace!

Those are just a few... 

What's going on now.. Christmas is coming soon and I'm staying broke! It's going to be tough this year! 

Went deer hunting yesterday, shot my first 8 point! 

Such an adrenaline rush!

Also I did a month of plexus slim.. If anyone knows any details or has has good results please let me know.. My month experience only lost me 4 lbs.. But I've been told I didn't give it long enough.. That's before I started exercising by the way.

Well I'm closing out with some pictures, hopefully it won't be another 4 months before I update again!

Comments/Replies

I also want to say that I'm doing all this from my phone and here lately it's been acting up.  If you do leave a comment and I don't reply, it's not me being rude because I always try to reply.  Same with my comments on other people's blogs.. They haven't been wanting to post.. Sorry guys! Ill try to get this fixed!

Random Stuff and a Continuing Vent

Hey folks, (or lack there of since I don't think anybody follows and I don't know how to link ha!)

I love snow cones don't u? I craved them while I was prego and the craving has just always stuck.. I'm beginning this post with something happy as you can tell. Hint hint, Jon, nothing says I love you like a good ol' homemade ice cream with extra cream :)

So I'm fixing to get a new car. I love my Accord but a two door and a baby just don't go together. I'm really leaning towards a Toyota Rav4. I love the new style and I can afford to get a brand new one.. I'm soo excited cuz I've never had a new vehicle before. I'm looking at it as a mommy-mobile plus a graduation gift to myself.

Not bad huh? I'd really like it in silver though!

Schools just around the corner and I'm fixing to have to get busy with everything. I've really enjoyed my summer with my baby boy but I'm so ready to get back into a routine as well.

He was eating his first Oreo :)

Anyways.. I've ranted on and on about exercising and losing weight..have I? No! This summer has made me so lazy it's ridiculous! I'm really hoping a routine will whip me back into shape. I mean as you can already tell about my post so far I've been eating snow cones and Oreos.. Do u think when school starts I'll have time to do these things, well no! Things around here are about to change and this time I mean it!

On a lighter note, this is too funny not to share.. And Jon would kill me if he knew I posted it.. But when you go down early because you can't handle your adult beverages, this is what happens...

I wish my camera would have done a better job.  You can see the star on his knee and the lines on his legs. He was covered! (Except his face, cuz I'm such a good g/f and wouldn't let them do that).  Anddd.. Just so y'all know I had no part in this, I was just a spectator :)

Question:

Is anyone out there? Haha what I mean is does anyone read what I write? 

Committing to Running

Well I haven't forgotten about my lil ole blog, just haven't had anything exciting happen worth posting about.  Kase and I are home, after over a week of being gone I was beginning to get a lil homesick.

Anyways, I've been doing a lot of thinking and I have made up my mind to get rid of all the excuses and run.  I gripe about having a belly but in not doing anything about it.  

1. I'm going to run/jog/walk everyday whether it be outside/treadmill or whatever for at least 30 mins a day.. I'd like to do an hour if time allows.

2. My goal is to finish a 5k.. And I mean run the entire thing. This is goal number 1; goal 2 is a half marathon!  I downloaded one of those 5k apps and in going to follow those workouts.

3. Insanity! I have it.. I've done it 4 times. How much sense does that make? I have one expensive workout DVD set that is proven to show results and its just sitting on a shelf.  I'm not saying I'm going to have the time to do this everyday but I'm certainly going to do it more often.

Questions:

1. Have you ever ran a 5k?

2. Does anyone have any motivational tips that could help me get going?
