Motivation

I am trying to lose weight by the summer time (you all know that, I posted a blog about it), but I need some motivation. So I have made myself a motivation calender that I look at every morning when I wake up and every night before I go to bed. So hopefully all that will remind me to lose some weight and get healthy. I am also giving myself rewards if I work out at least 5 days a week for a month. I haven't come up with rewards for every month yet, but I will. I am really hoping to keep on track and lose some pounds! Here is my calender, I have whited out the pictures of me, nobody wants to see those.

(I just noticed I spelled calender wrong on the picture, oh well) I am pretty excited about it! I have also started me a journal where I am writing down my weight and exercise. I have also been keeping track of my food and counting calories. It is driving me crazy so it better work. Hopefully by summer I will be looking good!

Hair Cut!

I finally got my hair cut today. It was way over due. I went with my best friend Shannon and we both got our hair cut short. I think they cut off over 8 inches. It feels so nice to have short hair once again. What was I thinking letting my hair get that long. It was to the middle of my back, I don't think I have ever had my hair that long in my life. It was nice while I had it, glad it's gone though. We went to a place called the Stepping Stones. It was a really nice place. We had coupons, $15 for a hair cut. Good deal! They ladies were really nice. The stylist that did my hair thought I was 16 years old! She got a good tip. It was nice to have someone think I was way younger then what I am. I think I will be going back to that place again. It was good pampering, even if it was just getting our hair done. Maybe next time we will go for massages or manicures. Here is what I now look like,

I Workout!

Ok, so Jeremy bought me a very very nice treadmill for Christmas (I've been asking for one for a while, so it's not a bad Christmas gift). This treadmill has everything! You can hook your iPod up to it and train with Jillian, Nike and probably Dr Oz, WHO KNOWS! The bad part to all of that is you have to buy the programs, $20 each. That's alright I don't need Jillian to yell at me make me cry while I'm work out, I can make my self cry. I am pretty excited to have myself my very own treadmill. Now it's time to make myself a goal. I personally hate making goals because it's to much pressure and if it doesn't work out then I feel really bad. I'm pretty bad at making commitments, I'm always changing my mind and if I don't feel like going some where or doing something I don't like feeling pressured into keeping that commitment. I know pretty bad, I just like to do my own thing. Any way, I need to make a goal and stick to it. I didn't do very well with my last goal (like I said it's to much pressure). My goal this year is to get down to at least 120 lbs. That is what I weighed after I had Tyra. I would be pretty satisfied with that weight. I am hoping to do this by the summer time or at least before next year. I just need to work hard and stick with it. Now I just need to stop these brownies from jumping into my mouth and other junk food too. It's just hard to talk myself into eating healthy. I have never been a big fruit eater and I am very picky with my veggies. I am opening up to more veggies though. Not tomatoes though, never tomatoes, or peppers! It seems like every healthy recipe has those two things in them. I guess I can just leave them out. Anyway, that is one of my goals for 2012. My treadmill is pretty sweet, so why wouldn't I want to us it. It inclines and declines all on it's own, it has a billion settings and speakers so you can hook your iPod or mp3 player in and listen to music with out putting ear buds in. Not sure how fast it goes, but I wont be going that fast. Now I just need to keep my kids and my cats off of it. I will be having a love hate relationship with it. It will all be worth it in the end. I just wanted to let everyone know that my sister Katie as inspired me so much. She has been doing so good with her goal. So Katie, I am going to catch up with you and then you will have to find someone else to give your clothes to! Good luck to you all on your goals for 2012!
