Ms. Determination

Yup, it might take me a while but I’ll get there eventually. Just a quick mid-weekend check in! It was a gorgeous day today and I was getting my to do’s done. I’ll be single-momming it this week so I’m determined not to drown! Tomorrow I’ll be prepping for the busy week ahead. Planning out…

Clarity

What a day, oy! I’ve been struggling for a few weeks; I can’t seem to get my head in the game. I feel distracted. So this week I began an eight-week progression into a new mindset. Hypnotic progression just helps give you clarity and focus, I know, I know what it sounds like. For me,…

So in love

A picture says a thousand words. I love that we were looking at each other the moment that this was captured. When my older two children were this age, I didn’t want my weight status documented – anywhere! Now, I can’t stop taking pictures! I want my children to remember me, and I want to…

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing, Hoping.

As much as I’d like to think it, I can’t will anything to happen. If I could, I’d have everything I wanted; the body I want, the hair to match, kids who aren’t constantly bickering, and the bags under my eyes would be nonexistent.  The list goes on. I’m a pretty intense/passionate person, I was…

She sets the city on fire

I love that song, by Gavin DeGraw, every time I hear it I turn it way up.  What’s that saying? Some days I can conquer the world, and other days I put laundry in the oven.  Yup, pretty much. Tomorrow will be better!   Every morning, we get a chance to be to different. A…

Actions speak louder than words – I’m struggling

  I broke and cried the ugliest cry this morning. I tend to carry a lot on my shoulders and I just couldn’t anymore. I’m overwhelmed. I slept terrible last night (or didn’t sleep really). I did my respective drop offs, came home cried out my ugly cry and jumped in the shower. We all…

Nothing but a LOVE struggle

Today reflected a large amount of questions, thought, and opportunity. We had a morning here, let me tell you.  Woke up late, unfinished homework from the weekend, missed the bus…spilled breakfast you name it, it happened.  While I was on my now drop off rounds (since we were so late) a thought popped into my…

Feeling Preppy

While my main focus with this blog is weight loss, it involves your entire life.  I’m a mom with three kids, two in various activities. I don’t have the luxury of just dropping everything for the gym and focusing on how many lettuce leaves are on my plate.  I’m busy, as we all are. My…

Push it

I dragged myself out of bed this morning at 4:45am…got dressed, put my shoes on, and left for the 5:30am spin class.  It’s been a while! . It’s so early but I knew it would be my only opportunity to work out today and I need to get some spin time in. I was super…

Week-end recap

It’s been a busy few days! I’m feverishly reworking my website, getting the kids organized to start school, and the laundry pile never seems to end! Total full mom mode! We had a great time on Friday night at the pep rally for football – Matthew is so excited to be playing again this year…
