Time gets away from me so often. I am still working out hard. I started working part time back in September and the school system I work for has a program for employess on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is free and awesome! It is a work out program with a circuit training design. The first two weeks were hard and my abs hated me but I am doing much better now. I am still running/jogging and trying to get my mile quicker! I am now doing an average of an 11 minute mile which is a difference of 2 minutes from when I first started! I am really excited about that!
Sadly I haven't been crafting to much although. I am the worst time manager EVER!! LOL! My next project is a quote to go over our bed. I started working on it but then got stuck with the circut and haven't tried again.
I recently joined Beachbody and got my first bag of shakeology to try. I traded some extra 31 stuff I had for the bag since it is so expensive and I am super picky. I didn't want to hate it and spend that kind of money. I did hate the first batch I made but now I add soymilk, strawberries and either yogurt or bananas to it. I want to try the peanut butter powder but I have yet to find that. I also intend to buy a fitness program but I keep going back and forth from insanity to brazilian butt lift. I need to lose inches and weight but I'm not sure which to do. I don't know if my body is ready for Insanity. I will decide eventually!
I need to do another measurement of my body soon but for now my weight is decreasing! I am now down to 189!!
That's it for today! The weather is gorgeous and me and my little man are going to be heading out to play soon!
This is my journey to finding the person I have always wanted to be, happy and healthy! Follow me as I navigate the tricky road of weight loss, motherhood, wifehood and military lifestyle!

New year New Start
I got very sidetracked with all the holidays that are packed into the end of the year! I haven't blogged in FOREVER! But I am back and hopefully sticking around! So some things that have happened since the end of September:
1. Jogged my first 5k and survived. It was a color me rad run and I enjoyed it so much! Super storm Sandy did come close to my house so I had to leave the girls weekend early and head home. But we did the run and had a blast doing it!
2. I joined a company in the direct sales area called Thirty One Gifts. This is my third direct sales attempt but I LOVE this one. I am currently working on building a team and advancing in the company! I had a great start and I am looking forward to this upcoming year!
3. We are retraining our labs on how to stay home alone. They are 4 and have regressed because of separation anxiety when I leave. :/ We have had 2 successful outings and come home to find no mess, I am hoping it sticks!
4. I went to work part time and temporarily. I don't enjoy it either. I miss my baby and hanging out with him. But he stays with his Great Grandparents so that is good for them and him.
5. We put our credit cards away and will not be using them AT ALL in 2013! We will be paying them down and working really hard to get out of debt!
6. My baby brother got married! It was a beautiful wedding and I am so excited for him and his new wife!
I think that is all the stuff worth mentioning! I did fall completely off Weight Watchers and I haven't jogged since I did the 5k or even attempted exercising. That is changing tomorrow. I am back on it! I bought a Kinect with my Christmas money and the game The Biggest Loser. I did the profile set up tonight and bought a scale. I am starting the program tomorrow! I will also be putting my feet back on the gravel and jogging! I will stick with it this time! I put my food journal on the fridge, so there will be no excuses! I also wrote out the menu and got all the ingredients for my meals! I am excited to get back on track! We are also budgeting hard core! As I said we locked away our credit cards and now it is time to start paying them off! I am excited about that!
Here's to a great start to a great year!
