Day #2: What I wore today!

So here is day #2. Let me tell you something, I am not a fancy person, not one bit. I guess I got a little bit more fancy today (not really).

This picture was taken by my little Shelby! Ok so this is what I was wearing (I changed, sorry I need comfy). The sweat shirt it Mossiso, which is a Target brand I think (except I bought mine at a thrift store for $.50) My pants are Levi Jeans (bought a long time ago, do not remember where) My white under shirt I bought from Khols My shoes are Xhilaration (have no idea where that brand comes from, but I got mine for FREEEEEEE) Bobby pins in my hair are probably from Walmart and my make up I bought where ever I could get it for cheap. See I'm very stylish! Most of my clothes come from a thrift store cause I'm to cheap to buy new ones. Now since Shelby took my picture she thought I should take hers.

She picked her outfit out all by herself Shelby's skirt came from a thrift store Her pants are hand me downs from her sister Her boots from Shoe Carnival Her shirt from Dillard's And her head band from the BX I love how she dresses herself, so stylish

30 day photo challenge

So I am going along with this 30 day photo challenge with my sisters. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out, I have to remember to take some pictures. I'm pretty forgetful most days. So here is my picture for day #1,

1. Self Portrait I actually took this picture the other day. I would have taken one today, but I didn't want to. My face is pretty zitty, hopefully it will clear up soon.

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!

YAY for INTERNET!

Ok, we now have really good internet so I might start writing on my blog. It depends if I can pull myself away from our new Xbox Kinect! That thing is AWESOME! I also have a lot of catching up to do around my house (a lot of cleaning that is). We are starting to get all organized (if you don't look in the room that will soon be our office, I think that's hopeless). We have been living in this house for almost 2 months now. We are doing really well. The area is really quiet (if you ignore the freeway). Tyra really likes her school. We still don't know our neighbors, I guess that's ok. Our yard still needs a lot of work on it, but I think we will have to wait till spring and just work on the inside stuff. We are alive and doing well. We took a nice trip up to Northern Idaho to visit with Jeremy's family for Thanksgiving. It was pretty fun, we had our stressful moments. The girls really enjoyed it. We also got to go see my brother and his family in Sandpoint Idaho. It was good to spend a day with them. We then drove down to the Tri-Cities to see Jeremy's Uncle and Aunt. They have a really nice house, I want one just like it someday. We are glad we are home. We have a lot of stuff to catch up on so this week is pretty busy. I will try to blog more though.

We have moved

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are a live and moved into our new house. We moved our animals last night. They did not like it and I think they do not like our new house. They are country animals, so the big city (well semi big) scares them I think. I will have pictures up as soon as I get a little more organized. I will also be sending out address change cards as soon as I find some I like. I'm not brave enough to make them. We are happy here, it feels like we are staying in some kind of rental house. I'm sure that will all change when we start paying the bill. Tyra likes her new school so far. It is a lot bigger then Base Primary, but it looks really nice. Her teacher seemed nice too. We are looking forward to our new adventure, and hopefully meet new people. Haven't met the neighbors yet, but that's ok. I think we are going to like it here. Words from Shelby, "I Love This House"
