Weigh in 6/24/ Plans....
So I did not weigh in...sorry...I know some of you are frowning right now and giving me sass in your head but it was my anniversary. I am starting my look better naked plan and I will give every person that leaves me motivation a 10.00 if I do not follow it!! I know it's not a lot but I have a feeling with money on the table I will start getting emails and texts with all the support I can handle.
On a lighter note I have been reviewing my school plans and doing homework on something that I have had my eye on for a while.
Stroller strides....
I remember when I was pregnant I wanted to stay in shape so bad. I wanted the support of other fit mama's but it was so hard to find. There were not many pre/post natal options in decatur or in denton and I was even willing to pay. So with my first pregnancy I gained 80 and around 50 with my second pregnancy. I bought all the right magazines and video's but it was not the same as interacting with other mommy's. After I had my babies it was an uphill battle. My kids do not like the gym daycare and I am an extreme outdoors person. I love to run and workout outside. It's hard to do with two kids and that is when I discovered Stroller strides. It lets you workout with your babies and helps you interact with other moms. It using learning tools for your children and it just flat out sounded like a good time...to bad there was not one close within a 60 mile radius..
The point of the story is I think I am going to open a stroller strides in Denton or Decatur. I am very undecided which place.
I would love opinions from anyone that is interested!!

Weigh in 6/17....
So I officially did my weigh in on Thursday since I knew having the day off would reek havoc on my weigh in. I bought a new scale and have been very skeptical if the numbers are right because as soon as I got on the scale it popped up 152.6!! In my head I am jumping up and down screaming, singing, and smiling so hard my face hurts. BUT I am wondering if this number is right?? I stepped on and off the scale 6 times and let me tell you 152.6 is what popped up every time.
That means that I am 7.6 pounds from my ultimate goal. Let me remind everyoen including myself that my original goal was 160. 145 in my all time ultimate goal and at the point I just want to tone up and love my body...I can not remember the last time I was this small..maybe when I met my husband when I was 15?? That was 10 years ago...It feels amazing and I want to keep this feeling.
ON another note I am going on my anniversary trip next friday, July I have my FIRST girls weekend getaway, and I start my observation Monday morning.
Despite all my school drama I am really excited about the future. I know that the school year will suck for me because I will not get to see any of my friends but I have to keep the big picture in mind and my true friends will stick around.

Firefly Race
Me and one of my best friend Brittney did the firefly night run in plano. This was so much fun. The night started with a delicious dinner at maggiano's. We then went to the race 2 hours early to get in line for the packet pick up. After we recieved out stuff it was just a waiting game. Brittney killed me when we started running, she was so fast! I have not ran in like two weeks and I was feeling the burning air in my chest. We finished the race 1497 out of 2396...not to bad...I had a blast and the night ended with some drinks at applebee's. Here are a few pictures~

I pray I can...bless you teacher friends..
As I have mentioned several times I am TERRIFIED of failing. I quit before I get started or I give up halfway through so I don't have to be let down. This has been the case with my school. I am sure that I am driving all my friends and family banana's with all the switching of my majors just within the week.
I am terrified to do physical therapy even though I know I will be really good at it. School is 3 years longer and very competitive to get in. I feel like I need to be a genius and lets face reality I am far from that. SO I choose teaching. still a scary route because I am not walking across the stage with a job. Teaching although filling for some seems like so much work. I have to hand it to all my friends that are teachers. They are dedicated 10-12 hours a day if not more when they are a coach. I am sure it is gratifying. They do not get paid near as much as they should for their hours. Yesterday though I watched a woman my age cry for what seemed like forever because her job was one that did not make it. She had applied at daycares, and was then applying to waitress....ARE YOU KIDDING ME...I have been a waitress for 4 years now and the last thing I want to do when I graduate is to continue to be a waitress. So with that being said I am taking a huge step into the fear of failure and I am going to give this school thing a real shot in a major I am going to keep secret until the fall. I want to be sure it is the right thing for me and I make the grades I need. Please keep your fingers crossed as I venture into the unknown!

Weigh in 6/3
Official weigh in this morning...
Let me start off by saying I have been REALLY bad. I have not worked out in at least two weeks. My eating has not been terrible but it has been no where near great. I have been working a lot and trying to clean and be a little active at home. I have been swimming, and fishing so I think its safe to say I have burned a few calories.
That being said I have been able to maintain my weight at 154.4. I want to be 145 by June 24 when my husband sweeps me off for an adventure for our anniversary. That only gives me 21 days to get off some pounds. I however am not going to push it. I know that weight will come off when I put the work into it. You can not expect to lose weight if you are not willing to do the work. I am great at making excuses. I am to tired, to busy, do not feel like it, and the list goes on. What makes losing weight so hard is the excuses we make to ourselves. As I have mentioned before I am terrified of failure. Keeping all this in mind I am going to try really hard this next week...I just want to see what the scale will say if I give my all for just a week...Stay tuned for next Friday's weigh in!!
And PLEASE feel free to encourage me and help me stay on track!!

My perfect summer...NOT
My summer has officially started and I have managed to not workout and stress about money and school. I have tried to make plans of attack but at every corner I am defeated. I have tried taking different approachs and expect a different outcome and that has not worked. I have lost motivation and for some reason I feel like I am okay with being defeated. Two weeks ago I was raving about starting Insanity and going to college next fall. Until I met with advisors at UNT I thought I had everything figured out but man was I wrong. My choice to do physical therapy was botched when an advisor told me that it was highly unlikely that I would be accepted into a program due to my grades. So I changed back to teaching which is what I originally wanted to do anyways. My though process was that if I do something that i LOVE it will show in my grades and in my personality and a person hiring would see that. Then the advisor told me I would need to change my major. I was not prepared for that at all. I was in love with my major. I was excited about it and soooo looked forward to it. Why were they trying to shatter my dreams? Then I asked my friends what they thought. Being realistic like they are they said the same thing the advisor said. In the end I was unwilling to accept that I was being forced and encouraged to do something that I really didnt want to do and even I was making excuses to be unhappy. After much thought I went with what my heart told me to do. I may be jobless when I graduate but so are thousands of other people. I have to hope that eventually the economy will get better and there will be a need for me somewhere in this world.
As you can tell this alone has made me feel sorry for myself and a little on the depressed side. I hate not having a plan or something that is a for sure thing but I keep telling myself that if I do not try I will never know if I would have succeeded or not.
