It's Been Awhile!

WOW! I haven't posted since November!!! I am slacking big time folks..sorry bout that! What all has happened?!
Let's see, Marc and I both turned a year older in November. December Kaysen turned 2 years old! Which is still a shocker for us. He is getting so big. Aidyn is getting really smart!
Christmas was a BLAST! I loved celebrating our first Christmas in our new home. 
NEW YEARS! Welcome 2013!! How are you going to make this year better? What are your resolutions? 
Mine are:
1. Work harder on making Myself and my family healthier. 
2. Reach my goal weight.
3. Bring Marc home from his job.
4. Spend more time with God!

In April it will be a whole year since I started my weight loss journey. I've lost 42lbs. I know that's a great number but honestly it disappoints me. I feel like I should've done a lot better, especially since it's almost a year. BUT I did take a month here and there to slack off(which I shouldn't have done!)
So this year I WILL reach my goals before 2014!! Good thing is I have a whole year lol!!!

Found out my friend Amanda is expecting another baby! YAY! 

I know this post is super random..but had to catch up lol!!!

Holy Crap Kaysen is scared of bubble gum!!!

Yesterday I was blowing bubbles with my gum because Aidyn was asking me too and I noticed Kaysen was fussing...it was almost nap time so I figured that was his problem. First off, I was just blowing the bubble...NOT popping them!! So there was no loud noises that was freaking him out. When I had to carry him into the house from the car I blew another bubble for Aidyn and Kaysen literally cringed away from me and started screaming!!! 
I was like..ok...well I showed him I threw away the gum, and he still wouldn't come near me. So I picked him up to show him that there was nothing in my mouth. Nope, he just started screaming and crying again. I decided to lay him down at that point thinking he's just tired. 

When he wakes up from his nap he still won't come near me. Marc comes home and he is stuck to him like glue. Wouldn't even sit in his chair for dinner because it was near me. He wouldn't even look me in the eye, if he did he started crying all over again and clinging onto Marc! This went on until he went to bed. It literally broke my heart that I couldn't give him kisses for bed. :(

Luckily he woke up just fine this morning. All happy again. 
But I've learned that I can't chew gum in front of him again. I don't want a repeat! 


Craziest thing I've ever seen!!!!!

Quick Update

I really need to keep up with my blog more, but it's hard to when I know I don't have very many followers anyway...so share my page!! Please?! :)
Anyways, lately lots of things have happened. My little boy turned 7 years old!! Can't believe he's getting so big so fast!!! He also joined the cub scouts! :) He loves that so much!

That's him at the birthday party!

We also got to enjoy Halloween!!!

This is my boys Halloween costumes! They had a blast!!!

My husband and I (and a friend who's not in this photo) got to enjoy an adults Halloween party! We had so much fun!!!!!!

Kaysen is getting so big but with that he's getting an attitude. LOL! The picture below shows what I mean. He just wasn't happy with having to pose for a picture with big brother. 

24 Day Challenge

Nicole and I have started our 24 Day Challenge with AdvoCare! We are on day 2! I am super excited to see how this changes our lives!! After we're done I will be posting our stats and our before/after pictures. So please stay tuned to see those! I won't be weighing my self at all until day 25 lol! I want to be shocked when I see that scale! 

Marc had finished the Herbal Cleanse couple of days ago and he had lost 4.5lbs! He also lost a pant size! He is so excited and so happy about that! I am so proud of him! :) Ever since he has been eating a lot healthier and smaller portions. Can you believe that?! I was shocked at first myself! My husband-before the Cleanse- could EAT EAT EAT! LOL! But nope, he started the Cleanse and got himself on a healthier diet. Gah words can't explain how proud I am of him! :) 
Because of that it's been a lot easier to make sure I'm sticking to my healthy eating as well. It was really hard beforehand because he'd be bringing home Sonic milk shakes for him and the kids and drink them in front of me lol! But now he doesn't even want anything like that! So that really helps!! I am also glad it means our family is becoming much more healthier! 

Usually for morning I'd eat a bowl of cereal because I was too lazy to actually get up and make anything--plus I was never sure what to make! But today I got up and made us veggie omelettes! It was my first time ever to make an omelette so I was nervous but they came out great!! And they were yummy! My husband left for work on a full tummy and smiling! Made me so happy I could do that for him! I know cereal never really filled him up lol! 

Ok, that's it for now. 

I would REALLY love to see some more of my friends get on the 24 Day Challenge! It will change your lives! You don't have to get on a strict diet, you don't have to eat less, just eat healthier! That's all! And drink lots of water lol! I know ya'll can do this! Also I will be here to help along the way. You need advice, need help, even need reminders I am here!!! Heck I text Nicole daily to make sure everything's going great(she asked me too lol)! I can do that for u too! 
If you're interested just let me know!!! 

More News!!

Marc had finally decided to take the Herbal Cleanse from AdvoCare! He is on day 5 and has lost 3lbs! He hasn't even been working out either due to us being very busy lately lol! I am very proud of him! I am so glad this is working for him. I know it's important for him to clean out his body so when he starts taking different products they will work even better for him! 

My two good friends Amanda and Nicole have decided to join me in the 24 Day Challenge after we get paid this next week!!! I am SOOOOO happy and proud of them for making this decision! They will NOT regret it! It will bring them such happiness and make them feel so much better about themselves. 

I challenge YOU to take the 24 Day Challenge!!!

Cancelling Curves

:( UGH! My husband got a promotion, which is wonderful, but with the promotion his schedule had changed. With the new schedule and Curves hours I would've been able to go only on Saturdays. That's not worth the monthly charge to me. So, I cancelled Curves. Sadly! I really loved it there. The women were great, staff was nice, and loved the workouts! I had lost about 25 lbs there within only about 2.5 months!!! I do recommend it to anyone! If my husbands schedule happens to change again I might go back. Until then I will be working out at home, and next month I'm going to look into the 24 hour fitness. Mainly because they have day care so I could go anytime of the day, or even at night!!
I haven't been able to go to Curves for awhile now, and I've been feeling it. For awhile there I felt like I lost my drive. Which has made feel tired all the time again and irritable. I hate this feeling!!! Today I will get back on track!!!! I will be doing another workout when I lay down Kaysen for his nap. Which is in like 5 minutes lol! Wish me luck guys! I need to reach 200lbs!!!!!!

Please make sure to check out my AdvoCare site! I will be ordering more products for myself with our next check. Our products are great and helps keep me energized and motivated! I hadn't been able to buy any for the last couple of months due to us moving into our new home. I think that has to do with me losing my motivation to work out as well. So I will be buying some again soon and it will help so much! Can't wait!

Painting the Room

We finally started painting the boys room! YAY! The ceiling is Outer Space Blue and the wall is Amazon Grey both by BEHR. Right now only thing that's needed to be done is touch ups. I am so excited! We had many people helping! We had Danica, Bobby, Jenifer, Aidyn, and of course Marc and myself. I will definitely put up a picture once it's totally done. Probably be tomorrow though. 

Small Update

Just an update.
The house is coming along, but slowly. Marc's busy work schedule doesn't help in that department.
My kids are growing so big! Aidyn is growing like a weed! Next thing I know he'll be my height! Kaysen is just getting so much smarter. He's learning a few more words, but is so much more social. If that makes sense. Even though you can't understand most he says, he is always trying to talk to you. Makes me smile every time!!!

Homemade gifts for Fathers Day

I found this awesome idea for a Fathers Day gift on Pinterest! I was so excited to do this project! But I gotta tell you the one part that I thought was going to be easy turned out to be difficult!! I needed to find lots of different types of candy. I went to probably 7 stores to find all the candy I needed! The most difficult to find was Now and Laters! I couldn't believe how rare it is to find that in a store! It was ridiculous!!! 
Anyways, so I made a card for Marc "from the boys". I also bought an extra poster board for Aidyn to make his own "card" for Marc. He is excited to get started on it, which he will be doing in just a moment. 
I am going to post a picture of the project I did. Tomorrow I will most likely post a few pictures of Marc getting his "cards" from us!
