HOLY COW!

You see that pic up there^^^? Yep, that's my clothing! Pretty much my whole closet at that. Since I have lost 30lbs I've been wearing shirts that hang loose and no one could tell I had lost anything and pants that kept falling down! Even my workout pants would start sliding down during Zumba class! So today I decided to go through my closet and get rid of all my BIG clothes! People say NEVER keep your fat clothes cuz then you'll subconsciously think it's ok if you get fat again cuz you'll still have your clothes. Well not me! I am getting rid of them! The only fat clothing I kept were like 2 big shirts to wear around the house on my lazy days! HAHA! You always gotta have something for those lazy days! 

Now I need to figure out what to wear til I can get more clothes. LOL! I'll probably go to the thrift store because I don't want to spend lots of money on clothing that won't last long on me. Especially since I'm about to do the 24 day challenge from AdvoCare! I know I'll be losing more!! 

I'm still 48lbs away from my goal weight and I WILL make it there soon!! I need to set a goal date as well. Hmm...You guys think I can lose 48lbs before 2013 starts?! I bet I can! That's my goal! 

I WILL lose 48lbs BEFORE New Years Day!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Things are Looking Up!

Marc and I have been working a lot harder on selling AdvoCare and I think it will definitely pay off! I've gotten quite a few people very interested in getting products! Tomorrow I get to go to my first mixer! I am so excited! In November I'm going for an event in Grapevine called AdvoCare Ladies Alive 2012! It's ladies only..for a weekend! It's gonna be so much fun!! I'm glad Marc supports me going. He actually pushed me into buying my ticket lol! Can't wait!!

Everyone!! On the 10th I'll be ordering my 24 Day Challenge with AdvoCare! It's a great way to jump start your weight loss! Many people have gotten AMAZING results so I can't wait to get started! I am encouraging my friends and family to join me in this amazing opportunity! If you would like to purchase the challenge let me know and I will order one for you! 
We can all measure and weigh ourselves and take BEFORE pictures together! Then start the challenge together so we can support each other throughout the challenge. Then at the end measure and weigh ourselves again and take AFTER pictures! It'd be great to see what results we get! 

Let me know if you want to join in!!!!

School Starts Soon

Yep, my baby starts 1st grade on Monday. So excited yet so sad. I can't believe he is growing up so fast! He is super excited but keeps saying he's going to miss me too much. Aww!! Melts my heart! Last year my husband was the parent that got up every morning to get him ready and drop him off at school. Even though he could still do it this year I decided since Kaysen is older and I have a membership at 24 Hour Fitness it would be great for me to do it this year! YAY! So every day I will be getting up EARLY(anyone who knows me well will tell ya I am NOT a morning person haha), getting myself and both boys dressed, feed everyone, drop Aidyn off at school then head over to the gym with Kaysen to get my daily workout done! I'm actually anxious to start this new schedule! :) I think it will be great for all of us. 

On another note, AdvoCare is really starting to pick up for us. No we haven't sold anything yet but we started speaking with one of our advisors and they have been helping us greatly! They will be helping us talk to some people(potential customers and potential distributors). We are so excited to finally really get started with this! If you're interested in becoming a distributor please let me know! We can all start making money together! I do know that the advisor that is helping us is making quite a bit! So that gives us the motivation we need! :)

Update on Weight Loss

Yep, that's me. Four months later I am down 30lbs! I did skip a month(so I guess this is 3 months later), which I regret now, but I am proud of myself! I have been eating healthy, exercising, and taking AdvoCare. I still have 48lbs to go until I hit my goal weight. Just wait, it'll totally happen! I can' wait! But I just gotta take it day by day. It's a lot of hard work. Just thought I'd post this so everyone can see. Yes it takes time to get there, don't give up!!!!!!

Busy Busy Day

Today has been so, yep you guessed it, BUSY! I was running errands from 11-3, then had to put up groceries, clean the house and pay bills. Now I need to get beautified and cook dinner since I have guests coming over in about 30 minutes! WOW! Hectic right? The best thing is that Aidyn, my oldest, was very polite and well behaved ALL day! I am so proud of him. I just ordered some more AdvoCare products! Ready to get this weight loss back under control! :)
Tomorrow we will be going to the Dallas Farmers Market! Never been and heard it was great! I can't wait to buy some fresh produce! It's always yummier when it's locally grown. Then tomorrow night is...ta da da da...DATE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!! It seems like forever since husband and I have had a night to just ourselves! :)
Thought I'd update a little, but I gotta go. Like I said, BUSY DAY! 

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! 

1st Grade

Yep, Aidyn is now a 1st grader. I just finished his registration for school. I can't believe how much he is growing. I still remember his first day of Pre-K!! :( 
On that note, Kaysen is almost 2 years old! HOLY CRAP! Before I know it he'll be starting Pre-K! OMG my kids are not going to be babies very much longer!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

New Healthy Recipes/Tofu Chocolate Cake

I have found an app called Spark Recipes on my iPhone and I am so happy I got it! I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to eat healthier. The recipes seem so easy and there are so many! It also gives you the nutritional values on each recipe and people give suggestions how to tweak each recipe in their reviews. 
Tonight I decided to try and make the Tofu Chocolate Cake. Sounds nasty I know! I thought the same. But I went and got the stuff from our local Sprouts store and made the cake. Turned out YUMMY! A friend, who I told was a regular cake, loved it and didn't even notice a difference. He was shocked when I told him there was tofu in it! LOL! I didn't put icing on it so honestly it looks like brownies. I'm sure tomorrow my kids won't even notice a difference either. I used tofu and a cake mix that was sugar free and gluten free. Yet it still tasted sweet! I will post the recipe below this post. I was a little upset to see that my sister was kind of arguing with me saying there's no way it's healthy since it is cake. Yes it's still starch, BUT it doesn't have sugar, it doesn't have gluten, eggs, oil, etc. It has way less calories as well! So it may not be COMPLETELY healthy but it IS HEALTHIER! My kids love brownies and sweets(who's doesn't right?!) , and I know I'll feel better watching them eat this cake knowing they're not loading themselves up with all those other ingredients. I will post recipes as I try them from now on. I won't be able to start new recipes until next weekend unfortunately since I already did my grocery shopping for this whole week(before I found this app). 

Tofu Chocolate Cake:

Ingredients:
1 box super moist chocolate cake mix(gluten free)
1-300g block of soft/dessert tofu
1/2 cup water

Directions:
Mix together tofu and cake mix. 
Once mixed add in water and stir until smooth. 
Pour into baking dish(will be thick so you may need to smooth it flat with a spatula).
Cook according to directions on the cake mix box, depending on what type of dish you use. 


**DO NOT add the oil/egg/whatever else the cake mix box says you need-the tofu takes place of all these!**


ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible Two's ALREADY?!

OMG! Kaysen has been so hard to handle lately! I swear him and Aidyn decided to switch attitudes. Aidyn has been so easy to deal with and so much better and calm. Kaysen on the other hand has not! He loves to test his limits big time! For example he loves to turn the TV off. He goes up to it and turns it off. I say NO Kaysen! I go get him and sit him on the couch. He gets up and walks over to it and puts his finger right in front of the button and turns to smile at me waiting. I say...NO. Then he presses it!!! UGHHHH!!!!! This goes on over and over!
When he wants something or I have to take something away from him, he squeals...and LOUDLY! Then throws a fit! He will scream and cry and kick his little feet. I'm like WHOA, what happened to my angel?! Everyone who has been around Kaysen knows he's always been so calm and quiet. So this is like day and night. Seriously! He's only 19 months old...how will I make it through the terrible two stage?!

24 Hour Fitness

Since I have cancelled Curves, my husband and I joined 24 hour fitness here in Cedar Hill. And we love it! We have been doing cardio, weights, and classes! Today I will be joining their Zumba class! So excited!!!
The best part is they have a Kids Club so I have somewhere to take the kids while I work out. YAY! I really need a workout partner though. I don't get to go very often with Marc so I need someone to come with me!
Today I drank some Slam from AdvoCare and it has me going! I am so energized!!! Also it's YUMMY! Go buy some!
