Day Nine

I have been really focused on exercising and eating right and last week from wednesday to wednesday I lost 2 pounds.  I am hoping to keep up the new good habits and lose another 2 for the next weigh in.  I am doing a few things to help me attain my goals.  I am inputing all of the food I plan on eating throughout the day, in the morning into fat secret.  I am exercising everyday, except for Sunday, in the morning so I don't have time to talk myself out of it.  I am talking to my dear friend while I exercise, she is my exercise buddy.  Together we are making changes as we continue to do good with the workouts. I want this to be a permanent thing in my life.  I want to do many things with a fit and healthy body.  I will save those ideas for a different blog post.

7 Days

I look back on my life and I am the person who says "where does my time go." I complain about not knowing where my life is going, because it is flying by so fast.

However, I am also the person who cannot stick to any goals.  I have decided to be really good for 7 days (starting today).  I have a few things I would like to stick to, such as counting calories and exercising daily (even if I can't walk, sit, stand from the previous workout).  These 2 thing seem simple enough RIGHT. 7 days is not that long and hopefully after that 7 days, day 8 won't be hard and I will continue to do good.  I have been waiting for a life changing experience and since one has not come along, somethings got to give.  I need to make some changes for myself.

I am needing some MOTIVATION.  You would think the health risks of being overweight would be enough motivation to be healthier, RIGHT!  To list a few that are TERRIFYING, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea and I don't know shortness of breath, ha.  But I would like the other things that healthy fit people have like the ability to do whatever, whenever. For instance if given the opportunity to learn to surf, I want to be fit enough to take it.  Or I would like to go hiking without feeling like I may keel over any second.  I want to go shopping and not HATE it.

This blog post is for me to remember 7 days will fly by just like everything else and I will gain some new habits.  

Brown Birthday Party

Warning.......NO PICTURES AGAIN :( (now is not the time to be without Facebook)

Seriously I LOVE the BROWN'S!!!  I could not have picked a better family to marry into.  Grandma Brown turned 90 and Jen and Stacey threw quite the BASH.  I am sure Stacey did not sleep for at least 2 days before the party.  I love meeting new cousins and I love learning new things about cousins I already love and I love snatching and loving the little ones.  I think I was a baby hog with baby Bear, I am certain I could have brought him home with us (I'm pretty sure they call that KIDNAPPING).

They had a ton of good food and cake and ice cream.  There was a DJ with lights.  I can't decide what was more fun, holding baby Bear or watching April dance.  She really knows how to cut a rug:)  I loved how she would just let loose and danced like no one was watching.  She is definitely a great example of living life to the fullest.

Happy Birthday Grandma Brown.
