Me in a dress?! What?!

YEP! This is the first time I've been in a dress since my wedding..that's 3 years ago!!! Thanks to all my hard work, AdvoCare products and the support of all my friends and family I am down 34.6lbs! I still have a ways to go before I hit my goal though, but I know I can do it!!! 

My goal is to lose 43.8 lbs before that ball drops on New Years Day!!!!!!! :) You think I can do it?! 

I love challenging myself and I would love it if someone joined me in this weight loss! Let's do this together!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!

Zumba!!

Since I've gotten my membership at 24 Hour Fitness I've been taking Zumba classes. My first class was with Tamika and some of the ladies had told me she was the best. But I still tried the other two instructors as well. Well, they were right. Tamika is definitely the best!!! Her classes have a moderation in dance types and is intense! You leave that class dripping with sweat!!! I LOVE it!!!!! 
I've learned a few things about Tamika. She has been featured in the 'O' Magazine!!!! OMG, right?! Also she used to be a cheerleader for the Sacamento Kings NBA Organization! Awesome huh?! 
I definitely suggest her classes! You will NOT regret it!!

On that note, I had convinced my husband to join me for 2 Zumba classes so far, and he loves it! So guys, Zumba is not just for girls!! My husband hasn't been the only man I've seen in our classes either. LOL! 

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! 

The House

I apologize for my absence. The move was pretty stressful considering we needed to get some things into working order before we could move in. And some things had to wait til after we were moved in. But everythings good now. We are officially moved into our new house! So exciting!!!!!!! We still have lots of cosmetic work that needs to be done but I don't think it'll take us more than a year to get everything done(thats inside AND outside). We are so excited to finally have a home of our own! 
I want to thank all the people that helped us! :) Our good friends Richard, Jenifer, my wonderful mother, and of course my awesome Aunt who gave us the opportunity!


Update:
I have lost 22 lbs since I started my weight loss! YAY!

So Proud

I have been so proud of Kaysen. He has started to learn so many new things, and in just a week! He has learned to say these words..no, ta-da, drink, moo, grandma. That's a lot in such a short time! He's just getting smarter and smarter! I love him! :)
