{Summer is Close Enough...}

I HATE wearing contacts....I avoid them at all costs. Trying to put something in my eye while I slowly see it coming is not something that my eye likes. And then to take them OUT! OH. MY. GOODNESS! So yeah, to say the least I don't like to wear them. Besides the fact that I like my glasses. I love how you can get different styles, and since I like the pinup style I can wear glasses that compliment that. :-)
BUT...on to the REAL reason I was talking about my contacts.

I LOVE BIG SUNGLASSES!!! :-)

And these are something that you can not wear with glasses...I have to wear my contacts....these are the only reason I even got contacts. lol was so that I can wear my stunna shades in the summertime! :-) So here's a pic of me in my new stunnas!!!!! :-D

{Carmen Electra}

Last night, I ended up doing a workout video. I have a difficult time in the evenings with actually wanting to leave the house with the boys. They can be stressful at times. lol So, I ended up doing the warm up instructional, the warm up, and the instructional to the first dance on the first Carmen Electra Strippersize workout dvd. It was really difficult to get through it with the boys here. I tend to let them stay up on the weekends, but I didn't really want them to see me doing a "sexy" dance. lol So I got interupted a few times, but they stay upstairs for the most part. And I was able to get in a workout.
Fingers crossed that I keep it up. :-)

{Food & Activity Journal}

This...is my food and activity journal...I love this thing lol I find that for me it's easier if I write down all the things that I eat or drink and the activities that I do for exercise. It lets me see what food choices I've made, how much I've eaten, and how much activity I have in for the day. It's also a place that I can write down ideas for healthy eating. :-) And since I made this myself it's in my favorite colors :-D And I have tons of pictures to help motivate me...


The first section has a monthly calendar so that I can keep track of my weigh ins...

Each divider has pictures that I like of me....well, when I liked how I looked. I felt good about myself. I was eating healthy, working out.....most of them are from the summer right before I got pregnant with Ace.






The main part of my journal has one side for my food choices and the other side for my activity choices. I also have a spot to keep track of my water intake.
I love all the details that I was able to put into this for me. And the pictures really do help me see not only how'd I'd like to look again....but they give me a realistic view on what I can look like. I don't feel that pictures of models or actresses helps me because I'm not them...It's not my body...and I don't have people to cook for me, clean for me, watch my kids, or tell me how and when to workout...so I know that I will never look like them. Which is okay, because I know I can look good and healthy....I have proof in my own pictures. :-)

{Once Again}

I have noticed a pattern to my healthy lifestyle. Well, mainly that when I get depressed about something I eat more...not just more, but bad for you things more. I finish off the kids plates...it there are left overs I find myself eating another plate full just because it's there. AND I also don't want to work out either. So it's this HUGE circle that keeps going and going...and going...and going....lol UGH!
I started paying attention to what I was eating again, and was doing really well....but then got lazy and ate a bunch of junk food....I know that if I don't buy it I can't eat it...but it's so hard to not buy it.....for me it is anyway. And tonight I FINALLY did a workout video!!! Yay me!! :-) I did 30mins of a pilates cardio workout. There is more to the dvd, but it's 78 degrees in my house cuz it's so nice out today, and I was dripping sweat...even with the fan on me. So I'll either do the other part tomorrow....or do a different dvd tomorrow, and work up to the second part on that dvd. :-) Oh wait! Tomorrow is Sunday.....I'll prolly go for a walk with the boys tomorrow instead....I really try not to workout too much on Sundays.

I was just SO excited to be in a good mood that I wanted to share it!! lol
