Birthday

Just in case I don't get a chance to post tomorrow because it's my birthday, I wanted to post today.

So I made it another year! I'm 33 tomorrow! I went out with a small group of friends Saturday to this awesome restaurant called Eddie V's. It was a LOT of fun... Good food and great atom sphere..  Here at work tomorrow, my team is taking me out to lunch to my favorite place! You know it! Benihana's! Who hoo!! Then later my husband is getting a small cake from Kroger and him and the boys will sing happy birthday mommy and help me blow out my 33 candles. I might just put like 23.. We'll see! 

I ordered my new kitchen dining table last thursday from Ashley's Furniture. It's a Dark expresso type wood table that has "red" leather chairs. Trust me , its awesome! I got 6, because I just didn't want 4 because we always have company and our family my "grow" one day and where would the other child sit! We got a 5 year protection plan on it too! It'll help with these boys! It protects, pen marks, finger nail polish remover, any type of hot ring marks from hot food, cup rings, scratches or tears on the leather chairs... etc... It seemed actually worth it now than before with NO kids.. I'll love it and will post a pick when it gets delivered in two weeks! Hopefully sooner! :)

Hmmm.. What do I want to accomplish at 33?  I want to run a half marathon with my sister in December, I want to continue to be "conservative" with our money and NEVER go back to credit cards, I want to be a great teacher to my kids.. I want to be a more understanding wife with my husband, I want to be a great employee at my job, I want to continue to eat healthy and exercise regularly and I want to join a new church and start my boys in Sunday school.  Hopefully, I'll accomplish all these things..

I'm leaving you all with a photo of me before the dinner Saturday.. I got this dress at BCBG in Dillard's at their extra 40% off sale this past weekend. I'm SOOO glad I went in there b/c I haven't shopped at Dillard's in awhile, but I was destined to find this dress! It's so simple and I can't wait to wear it again! Oh and was a very affordable price if you've ever seen BCBG's prices.. Have a great week! This is before Eddie V's in Dallas Saturday.... Babysitter took the shot!

Okay, so Insanity DOES work? LOL!

Okay, so I decided to weigh myself this morning after not doing so for 3 weeks, due to NOT seeing the fast results I thought I would. (ha ha to myself), and I've lost 5 lbs!!!! May NOT be a lot to you all, but its just enough for me to stick to my life style eating change and continue, my hard workouts with Shawn T of Insanity! I also have to give credit to the Tropical Shakelogoy meal replacement shakes in the mornings..  So these next 4 weeks of Insanity get really tough (as I hear) with all the MAX interval training that I'll be doing.. So staying off the Sodas, sugars and carbs is working plus exercise, who would have guessed!? LOL!!

Today is a Happy Friday for me... I feel great, I've lost weight and its the weekend!! :)

The lesson I learned today is, don't be easily discouraged if stuff doesn't go your way as fast as you want it. It all takes work and motivation and just keep at it... It'll pay off!

Yal have a wonderful , safe weekend and until next time................................

Insanity

So this is my 5th week of Insanity... Check back with me after the next 4 weeks to see hoefully good results.. I'm sticking with it and now drinking the Shakeology Shakes they recommend with the program.  I've lost only 2 pounds, but probably some inches.  They say the real weight lost happens in the 2nd month... I'm committing to 6 days a week now. Before I was only doing 4-5 and maybe running on the days I skipped. I've incraesed my water intake that had been lacking.. We'll see.

Also, my sister wants to do the White Rock 1/2 this year with me. She said she'll fly down in December and do it, but won't by her plane ticket until I register! LOL! I've been wanting to do a 1/2 for years, so since she's motivating me, I'm going to suck it up and start training in July like most training programs for the White Rock which is now actually called "MetroPCS".  So that's that.

One bunk bed is up, but realized we will have to move rooms in the house for both beds to fit better. So we have to take part of it down and move it and then build the 2nd one. It'll be a moving room weekend... Along with my husband playing golf Saturday and me taking the boys to ANOTHER birthday party... 

Other than that, Mother in Law left last weekend, but nothing too big going on. Preparing for my Dad's side of the family's reunion in Little Rock the following weekend... Road Trip with the family. We are renting a suburban with my mom, dad, and 15 year old niece and nephew and maybe my Brother! HA!!  Luckily, its only 6 hours tops!

Should be fun to see some of my cousins....

Although, I may be taking a short Vegas trip for a friend's husbands 40th. We'll see! Have to find the cash......

Big overtime check hopefully coming in soon next week , you know from the strike that my husband worked. Should help bunches!

Today at work , I lead my 2nd call to the clients (AT&T). Wish me luck! I was so nervous 2 weeks ago and then we had July 4th break, so now hopefully, I'll be more relaxed! Love it though! :)
