As Mother's Day draws near...

Thoughts on my own mother...

Thank you, Mom for helping me to become the woman and mother that I am. I love you. Happy Mother's Day.

My thoughts on Motherhood and my own children.

Thank you, My babies for making me a Mommy. You are my everything's! I love you both so very much!

A new week, a new workout and a new me!

Hi All!

So, after I began the KettleWorx program last week, I have discovered that 1, I love Kettle Bell workouts! And 2, I think that I like Jillian Michaels to kick my butt instead of that KettleWorx guy. LOL! Her workouts feel better and she is way more instructional. Anyway, I recommend that route if anyone decides to do it.

Sunday, was weigh in day and I am down another 1.5 pounds...yay! That brings it to a grand total of 40.1 pounds. WOO HOO! I'll take it! I still have my goal of 20 more pounds before my 20 year High School Reunion which is on July 22. I am sure that if I stay the course, I will accomplish it.

Have a wonderful week!

Be kind to yourselves.

KettleWorx, my new love and hate!

My husband and I decided that we MUST get exercise back into our routine since for the last few weeks, we have been slacking! So, this is what we have started...

All I can say today after starting this program yesterday is...OUCH and I believe it will work!

Wish us luck...please? LOL

I've missed you O' Blog of Mine!

Happy Sunday All!


I hope that everyone has had an amazing week...or few weeks! I have not been on in quite some time as I have been struggling. :( I have also been helping my mom settle into her new home and honestly, just haven't had much time to sit down and write.

Today, as I weighed in, I realized that I have fallen short on updating my blog on my failures and successes. Last week's weigh in...FAIL! I was up a pound and feeling awful about it! I went through the week beating myself up at every turn and justifying every "bad" bite that I took, which weren't that many, thankfully. Of course, I knew that this morning was once again weigh in day and let me tell you, I was nervous! Well, this week's weigh in...SUCCESS! I am down 4.6 pounds from last week and I am very proud of myself!

Now, if I could just get that workout back into my daily habits. :) I feel so much more motivated starting this new week and I am sure that as long as I am kind to myself, I will get back on the right track! As of today, I am down 38.9 pounds and that is in just a little over 4 months. I LOVE BFC!!!


Have a wonderful week everyone and BE KIND TO YOURSELVES!!!
