I don't really have anything to blog about but it's been a beautiful day outside & I'm happy I've been blessed to be able to see it!

Hope everyone has been able to get out & enjoy this awesome weather!

The past prepares you for the future....

....I think I'm beginning to figure it all out. I've always known the things of the past prepare you for the things that are going to occur in your future. I just don't like the waiting game. If I could just get a small peek into my future, I'd take the opportunity. Why? Because at the rate things are going, I truthfully have NO clue what my future holds.

25 (almost). single. single mom. never in a serious relationship.....i could go on & on but i'll stop there. I'm FOREVER grateful for all of my faults, out of them I've gained some blessings, like my bookie!! I wonder sometimes how things would've been if I would've moved out west & been a single mom out there?? God only knows :)

I just wanted to get that off of my chest. No complete thoughts are coming out tonight.

Peace & Blessings.
Besos. xo

Terrible Two's?

I must say I've had my share of "terrible two' moments with Myles, but I've had SO many more laughs at this kid. He's wise beyond his years and I consider it a blessing to have him in my life.

He's so friggin smart it makes me chuckle how some of the things he does just goes beyond what I'd expect a 2 year old to know.

This is just a test :)

Showing my aunt a few things!!

Happy Sunday :)

Today.

In no particular order, these are the random thoughts that are going through my mind right now:

• I gained 3 lbs from my last weigh in. #nobueno
• Tomorrow, I will be going grocery shopping & my kitchen will be filled with healthy eats & snacks. (I think I'm most excited about the fresh fruits & veggies, especially carrots & celery)
• The Lion King is sold out, that broke my heart.  BUT i think I may go see Steve Harvey.
• Daniel isn't coming to town this weekend, all a big miscommunication
• Myles is still sick, has a dr's appt on Monday.
• Shana announced she got a new job & her last day is Tuesday. Of course this got everybody at work talking.
• I'm excited b/c tomorrow I may be getting a vacuum, finally.
• This title is called tomorrow, but I've talked about things in the future. 
• Today was a GORGEOUS day outside. 
• I'm pretty much booked for the next two weekends. Traveling and such. Which means I HAVE to get an oil change tomorrow.....DC on St Patty's Day & Raleigh the weekend after that. 
• The Skeleton Key is on, I love this movie! Such a surprise ending :)
• Myles was sleep by 8:30, ME TIME!! *throws confetti*

bah humbug

Ever feel like in the blink of an eye EVERYTHING goes wrong??

....yeah, that's how I feel right now.

Myles is sick with pneumonia, gas light came on, stomach hurts. BLAH!

In the midst off all this noise, I'm still grateful to be alive.

BTW, I weighed myself today and I gained 3 lbs! #nobueno

I need to hit up the Y Friday to see about joining. I'm NOT playing.....

Anywho, I'm going to bed, hoping tomorrow will be A LOT better than today. 

merp.

more music--enjoy!

Tomorrow, a new journey begins

Beginning tomorrow, I will be on a weight loss journey for 8 weeks.

There is a contest going on at work, which begins tomorrow 3/5 and ends 4/28, if I'm not mistaken. There are 2 teams from my particular office that are participating. My team, the Waist Watchers, and the managers group. 

There are a total of 9 of us on our team. All females, all of us feel as though we need to shed some pounds. 

When I stepped on the scale Thursday, I realized I wasn't as much as I thought I was, but I could still benefit from losing almost 40 lbs. My weight, 236.8. I have no shame in telling how much I weigh because when the end of this is up, I'm going to tell you all my weight then and hopefully it'll be 200 or less. 

I'm going to give up bread for the first week of this change, which will be my biggest struggle. I'll be joining a gym. Thinking about making it the Y because they have an area for kids. I know this will not only be beneficial for me but also for Myles as well. Even though he's only 2, there are times where I'll just allow him to have a happy meal from a fast food place and he's satisfied. No he's not one of these 2 year olds we see on talk shows that's 50-60 lbs, and I want it to stay that way.

I will admit, today I planned on being a super fat kid and just eating everything fattening in sight.  It's 1:35 pm EST and what have I indulged in?? Hot tea with lemon and honey. Some fat kid I am huh?!? 

Hopefully, this journey won't just be for 8 weeks, it'll be something that will allow me to continue, and joining the gym will be very beneficial as well. I'll be keeping a food journal and we have to weigh in every Tuesday with our weight. I'm really excited for this journey, but I do realize that a change is a MAJOR part of this. Not only change but self control and also the willpower to continue on and be a team player. NO cheating, NO slacking.

April 30, I will give you all my new weight. Hoping & praying I don't let myself down OR you all that actually take the time to read the blog!!

Happy Sunday!!

BTW, UNC beat Dukie by 18 points yesterday!! Hence my CAROLINA blue font color :)
