So I know that sometimes it's hard to stay motivated. I know that our lives and duties as women take most part of our days. I know that the number one thing I think about all day long is "What in the heck and I going to cook for dinner?" Seriously, it really is. I get stressed out about it. Because we like to eat healthy, but I also have to keep a pretty big rotation. I dont like to keep eating the same things. I get burnt out on eating some of the same things alot. So I spend half the dang day thinking about food! lol...no bueno!   How I stay motivated: 1. I read other womens stories/blogs. Seriously when I read that a woman who has gone from my size/weight or even bigger has surpassed he goal weight and then some; wow. It motivates me to move my ass ans quit thinking about ice cream! 2.  I pack my gym clothes and they are in the car with me. When I leave work I can go one of two ways home; but both ways pass by the gym. So I have no excuse! 3. I surround myself with like-minded individuals. Im really blessed that Jeremy is as into fitness and being healthy as I am. Because our family memebers and friends are not! So we are very lucky! 4. I remind myself often why I am doing this. To be healthy is to be happy is to be healthy.   I hope that I am able to help motivate you in some way. I know that some of you that follow me on Instagram you guys inspire me too! I look at yalls progress and I love it! Its such an awesome feeling to see progress and to know that all your harwork is paying off! So kudos to those of you who are dominating the evil fats! Go girls!  

So keep it going! And dont forget to link up!   Peace and love,

New Sandals!

Warning: Very short and boring post today! lol..

 

 

So yesterday after I got off work I decided I wanted to go to Target and get a new pair of sandals. I have a turquoise pair and a black pair. I was missing a brown pair. So I was lucky to find some cute ones in my size! Last box too!



Please excuse my unpolished toe nails. That will be changing this weekend!

 

So we found out last night that Jeremy has to work all weekend. So it looks like its me and Lady all weekend... =( I hate when he has to work on the weekends. I know that we live together and I see him everyday. But only for like 3 hours at night before we go to bed and then about 45 minutes in the morning. He's my best friend. When Im not feeling good or sad or just wanting to be home. He's my home. If he's not at home I dont feel warm or comfortable or at ease. I get ready for bed and actually get in bed about 30 to 45 minutes earlier than he does. I like to unwind from my day early and catch up on emails or read magazines in bed; while he...well I dont actually know what he does while Im relaxing in bed! haha... But on days that Im really tired; I try to fall asleep without him, and I just lie there starring at the ceiling. BUT as soon as he climbs in bed, its like BOOM Im out! haha! So I cant sleep without him. If he ever had to work out of town again Im pretty sure that I would become an insomniac. He worked out of town when we first starting dating...before his toothbrush had a spot at my place in the bathroom! It sucked, but I visited often! lol..

 But now, three years later, I couldnt do it! (ok, I could but it would SUCK!) You hear me Mr. Favors? I said no! Ok! lol.. love you babe!

Green Thumb / Motivation Mondays

 

So lately, Jeremy suddenly has this green thumb!

 

We currently have 4 tomato plants on the porch. And he's just so excited for them!

One of them even has tomatoes on it!

 



 

Last week we went to Lowe's and stocked up on supplies and bought two more tomato plants. We bought two from Walmart Saturday and then he decided he wanted two more. So ok fine, load up Maggie! (Maggie was my next door neighbors dog when I was little and they took her everywhere  in their big van. She was a long haired golden retriever. Super smart, Super talented dog...so it just stuck and we always say Load up Maggie when we are all going somewhere)

 

 

so perrrty!

pretty spring flowers

 

 

 

the veggies

I have been trying to widen our weekly recipe rotation. For awhile I was just cooking the same few things because they were easier to just "throw together" but I could tell Jerms was getting tired of the same thing. So last week I switched it up! And found some pretty easy recipe!
I made Chicken Stir Fry!!! Ohhhhh goodness it was sooo good! Jerms loved it as much as I did!

It was delish!

 

 

And I made chicken enchilada bake. Which was so delicious! I called for corn, shredded chicken, cheese and corn tortillas with enchilada sauce. I think next time I'll add black beans and maybe some chopped tomatoes. 



And last night I made a pineapple cake. Jerms loves pineapple; so I thought I would make him a little treat!

 

And it was def a hit!

Motivation Mondays

So Wendy and I are starting something new next week.

 

Wendy of A Daily Dose of Del Signore and I want to bring all of our weight loss bloggers and non bloggers together now to offer support, motivation and any kind of inspiration we can.

But we're gonna need your help!

Whatever you've got, bring it!

 

We're searching for weight loss stories, progress updates, healthy recipes, great tips...

We would love to hear from you any tips, tricks, advice etc that you just want to put out there to help anyone else who reads our blogs! We really hope that this can and will start something great and keep us all motivated! Since summer is almost here! 

 

We're going to start next Monday, May 13th!
