Staycation Day One

Hello my peeps!  So today was the first day of my staycation! Woot woot!  To say that I am excited is a understatement.  I haven't had any type of vaction in sooooo long!  

So today I got all of my little cleaning stuff done and laundry so that I have the rest of the week as me time.  Then I headed to a baby shower. It was so cute and the food was smelling awesome and there was cake. But I will say I was proud of myself I stuck to the fresh fruit and a few crackers and avoided the cake.  Woo hoo I so wanted some of that cake with the buttercream icing.  It was just calling me Heather....Oh Heather!!! But yay me I resisted.  

My mother in law flew in today we went and picked her up from the airport.  The kids were so excited to see her and the first thing she said was Damn it's hot! LOL she is from Missouri where she said they were wearing jackets when they left there today!  

Zoe said grandma when we get home will you play with bubbles with me cause I have to show you how awesome of a bubble blower I am!  LOL it was cute!

Freeze!

So tomorrow will be a busy day.  Birthday shopping for Zoe.  Cupcake making, decoration getting, gift shopping day!  Whew should be fun though.  Hope ya'll's Saturday is supercalafragilisticexpealidosious!!!!

Love You Mean it.....

Thursday.....My Friday!!!

Well chicky's we finally made it to Friday Eve!!! However today is my Friday HOLLA!!!  Today was  definitely better than yesterday Thank You Jesus!!!  I have come to grips with not getting on the scale which is a big step for me but I almost feel relieved.  The scale has been like a ball and chain around my ass! So it's refreshing to know that I won't be getting on it for a few more days.  Depending on how I feel about it I might not get on it for longer than that.  I will no longer let the scale define who I am now or who I am striving to become!!  Ok enough of screaming from my soap box.

So tomorrow we are going to pick my mother in law up at the airport and I am totes excited.  I know it sounds weird but I truly love my MIL she is awesome and we plan on having an awesome time.  Zoe (my youngest) turns 3 next week and we will be having an party for her on Sunday complete with bounce house & horse shoes.  So stay tuned for party pics!

I plan on hanging out at the beach everyday I can over the next week and catching some rays.  This is very exciting to me  because even though I live 15 minutes from the beach I never get to go. Probably because I have been ashamed of my body and have had no desire to show it off.  Now don't get me wrong I am not going to be strutting my bikini yet.  You noticed I said yet.  This is a big step for me I have NEVER liked myself in a bathing suit EVER.  I am feeling better about myself than I ever have. I feel like I am learning to get fit and I am realizing I don't want to just settle.  I want to work hard to get to where I want to be.  I have made it further this time than I ever have.  So even though I am going to chunky dunk it at the beach I am going to be proud of what I have already accomplished looking at the good instead of how much I have yet to lose.  Plus we all look better with a tan am I right?

I want to give a shout out to all my followers I am very excited and I hope to keep you thouroughly entertained! Thanks for letting me bend your ears!

Love Ya Mean it!!

Linkup-WIW!

 

Happy Hump Day womp womp!!  So today I am linking up with Erin & Alex for Weigh In Wednesday!  Both these chicks are awesome they really inspire me if you haven't check em out!

 

So lets be real I really wanted to call it Wreck-It Wednesday!! The reason being is that when I stepped on the scale it was STILL the same 177.4. I wanted to bust my scale with a hammer.  Ok so I know you all are rolling your eyes saying what in the hell is she upset about?!?! It may not be a loss but it wasn't a gain either was it? And in theory that is all true but the heart of the matter is I have busted my ASSES (yes I have a big one and sometimes mistaken for multiple) exercising and have tried to stick to the diet fairly well! So this week I have vowed to stay away from the scale.  I acutally feel thinner and I feel like my clothes are looser so that is a WIW victory to me.  It will be difficult to not weigh I thought that the scale would actually motivate me but I think it actually hinders my progress. It doesn't take into account how I actually feel so I vow to not step on my scale until next Wednesday and see if that makes a difference in my overall weightloss attitude.  Let's call it weightitude we all have it the one where we are telling everyone we see about our victories or the the one where we are hiding from everyone that we know will ask about our progress.  So I have decide to own my weightitude and to not settle but we happy with the progress I have made.

 

So on another note tonight is date night again with the hubs! Woohoo I always look forward to us time.  Also tomorrow is my FRIDAY!! Hellz to the Yeah! I will be on vacation all next week! Stay tuned for some awesome beach and fruity drink with umbrella pictures! My little girl turns 3 next week and we are having a birthday party for her on Sunday complete with a bounce house for kids and horse shoes for us adults along with some adult beverages!

 

Love you Guys Mean It....

 

 

 

 

 

Tough Tuesday!

Hey ya'll! It is officially Terrible Tuesday for me! I know that is exactly what you all want to see me post about, but it has just been one of those days. 

 

My kids just whined and cried this morning (God love em) everything I asked them to do I got the eye roll or the I don't want to! 

 

My husband seemed to wake up on the wrong side of the bed. He said he just felt irritated and didn't know why.  I wanted to say well join the club.  I love him to death but GEEZ! I don't know about you guys but I am not allowed to have a bad day!  He just seems to be picking at everything the kids do today.  UGH!

 

Work has been somewhat of a disaster.  At work I had to spend most of my day babysitting an employee who was reported for suspicion of drug use so we had to do a random test. She couldn't go alone and I had to spend the entire day with her in the lobby of the lab while she drank tons of water and could never go!!!

 

 

OK so now it is 4:00 PM and I am in the mood to just go home and go to bed, but I need to do day 7 of level 2 of the 30 Day Shred!! I am just not sure I am in the mood to have JM scream at me! Maybe I will scream back!

 

 

Ok enough venting WOOOSAAA!!  So right now I am going to take a breathe and refocus myself and hopefully my family has gotten better attitudes when I get home. 

 

On a happier excited note. I will be on Vacation starting FRIDAY!! WOOHOOO!! I am super excited! I haven't been on vacation in so long! We aren't doing a whole lot but I plan to spend everyday I can at the beach. Gonna get my tan on! I look like casper right now.  Scary thought I know!

 

So here is to looking forward to lazy days at the beach with a book and maybe even a fruity drink with an umbrella in it and to a better tomorrow!

 

 

Love You Guys Mean IT....

 

 



Weekend Recap!

Hey my fellow bloggers!! Hope everyone had a fantabulous weekend.  Mine was not very eventful but we got a lot of stuff accomplished.  We are moving into a bigger house around May 11th and I am super excited but my garage was extremely full of crap that I haven't looked at in like 2 years.  So the hubs and I set out on the impossible  possible task of going thru everything and either trashing it or giving it to Goodwill.  So we got up at the butt crack of dawn and it was so fricken HOT!! I literally looked like I peed my pants and felt like I smelled really bad! After we made numerous trips to Goodwill and the dump we could finally see the bottem of our garage.  We did this most of the day Saturday.  I had all kinds of intentions of exercising but after sweating balls all day in the sauna of a garage I was like NO FREAKIN WAY!!

 

To top it off I was starving!! Which is not always a good thing because I tend to overeat when I am starving! I did OK not great I had a burritto and a hot pocket. Oh yeah we were grocery poor too so I was out of all my healthy stuff! Can I say that they were both the bomb diggety!! Lots of salsa to go with them!! Yummy!

 

Later after dinner the hubs and I had intentions of having a movie night and we picked out a few I was so excited the girls were at their dads and the little one had already passed out for the night.  Guess what.....didn't happen I couldn't have stayed awake to save my life!!! I felt bad but if someone had held a gun to my head I couldn't have stayed awake.

 

 

Sunday was laundry and grocery day!! Yay two of the things I love  hate to do the most!!  We shopped and spend way more than I wanted to and then we did laundry the rest of the day. 

 

I know that all sounds so very exciting to you all!!

 

So today is Monday and I am back on the healthy clean eating and exercise wagon!! I only have a week left on my diet bet so I have to really buckle down.  We are also having company come in on Friday and will be here a week.  It is really going to be a struggle to continue to eat good. These are people that like to FRY everything!

 

Do you guys have any tips on how to eat out and eat healthy or how to eat healthy when you have company?

Finish the Sentence with Jack & Holly

Hey all today I am doing the Finish the Sentence Linkup with Jake & Holly....

 

 

 

1. I laughed so hard I cried when... my mother-n-law had a little too much to drink at our wedding reception and she took her teeth out and was trying to kiss (gum) everyone.  Yes she went there.

2. My high school...years were awesome but I was a band geek but we had the best group of friends and this one time at band camp.....
3. It really pisses me off... how nasty women's public restrooms are....I just don't understand how we women can be sooo nasty you guys know what I am talking about.
4. In ten years... my youngest will be 13 holy cow and I will still be dealing with a teenager I am working on being that MILF I know I can be. 
5. If I could erase one thing... would have been to wait to get married at 19.  I know at the time no one could have told me different but I see now how foolish it was.
6. In 1999...  My first child was 1 and I was totally still rocking the big hair do.  Curly lion mane and all, hug ass bangs.
7. Honestly... Can't we all just get along. In light of the recent boston tragedy just wish we could all just get along and not live in fear and worry.
8. To me, Sushi... is scary looking sometimes but AWESOME!!
9. Someone really needs to invent...a handheld fat vacuum that we can use at home and just get rid of that unwanted underarm fat.  Am I right we all could use a little less flap. 
10. The first time I drank alcohol... I was 15 and my mom and dad left us with my uncle and he fell asleep and me and my friend took a bottle of Boons Farm lol and drank too cups and felt SICK and puked everywhere LOL. And No it didn't keep up from doing it again.

11. The one question I would ask God is... why do you have to take those so young.
12. Lindsay Lohan... needs to eat some carbs!

So there you go! Hope everyone has a great Friday eve!
