Let me just start off saying I'm proud of myself for sticking to "healthy choices" and blogging more than once :) today was a good day all in all! I cleaned a little bit out of my storage and make a donation to helping hands, which makes me feel good. I also saw a friends dad there dropping off also. It's nice to see a familiar face and get a weekday hug! I also cleared my car of Hobby Lobby Christmas goodies!! 🎅🏼 (when I'm poor, remind me of how great my trees will look!) I went to the grocery store, the Bullpen, and then picked my little man up from Pre-k. I had a headache and couldn't tell if it was from my contacts or not eating enough. We came home and I switched into my glasses and ate a lemon pepper chicken breast...and a biscuit with peanut butter. No judgement, I'm not perfect, just trying to work on this bod 😜 

After some rest with a nutcase child who is acting super wild and crazy lately, and once my excedrine migraine kicked in I finished packing up the Christmas stuff in my totes. Tomorrow I have a full day of dropping totes at storage, and taking my car to the Chevy house for a little looksie. We finished up dinner and I did Lance a favor by picking Arielle up and dropping her off at their apartment so she didn't have to be at Haleys all night while he closes this evening. I stopped by the gym for a little sauna time. I cannot explain the feeling I have there. It's a very uncomfortable, snooty place to be. However, I'm not there to make friends, just get some exercise in and drop pounds. I don't know if it's the area or the people these days...or just a douchey mentality. The staff who check you in aren't friendly and neither the members! 😳 I sat in the sauna for 35 minutes and drank two bottles of water. It feels good to sweat! 

Tomorrow is a new day and I need strength to deal with the lifestyle changes im making as well as patience in handling my precious spawn. He is a lot of work lately, and I'm hoping it's just a phase that will pass. He seems to really be testing me and his limits!! Good night and sweet dreams! :)

Sunday 1/3/2016

Such a good weekend, and REALLY looking forward to this week! Dallas goes back to school, and this mama can get some stuff done for a few hours while he's gone :) I have been strong in dealing with Lance, which so far so good. I am also excited about getting back into exercising regularly. I am so tired of being GIGANTIC, out of breath, too big for my body and most importantly my confidence is in the dumps! 

Sunday, Mom and I went to Canton to shop at first Monday and literally shopped until we dropped! I got 2 pairs of cheap boots ($15 each) that are ready to be dropped off at the Bullpen for monogramming!! 

I have really been wanting a pair to monogram but waited for the right pair ;-)

Mom and I both got cream boot socks. We loved them both so much we each got a pair as opposed to sharing as we would have. They were also half off!

They have the one-minute manicure samples in a bathroom we went to. I loved the smell, (Pink Lily) so I bought a few small ones to try. 

 I also got too much Christmas decor at 50-75% off! One of my favorite places had really cute stuff in my color scheme! --so I helped myself to plenty of goodies! 

(Those are big bags, not small!) lol!

I also bought 2 late Christmas gifts I have been wanting to buy. Both Lance and I got engraved Yeti cups. They are so cute and I'm excited to use mine!! 

We met up with the Poe's for lunch at our normal spot. When we left Canton, Mom and I grabbed Tacos and came home to relax! 

Umpy wanted me to take his picture with the dogs, because they all looked so cute right there! What a goof! 

Saturday, Dallas and I went to The Poe's to open Christmas presents with them. Dallas loves going to play over there AND wanted to eat the chili Shannon had in the crock pot. The relationship Presley and him have crack me up. He loves to aggravate her but gets defensive when she gets upset. They are a mess! Shannon and I had a good little talk and we left about 10:00pm! I was hoping Dallas would fall asleep on the way home, but of course not. When we got home, he wanted to open the blind bags Shannon got him...and of course we did. 

I private messaged a friend from high school whose body is amazing!! I asked her for some diet tips and she has gone out of her way to give me a plan! I can see the results from a poor diet (greasy skin, unhealthy hair, and obviously my gut!) I have a positive attitude and this HAS to work! I have no energy and want to be the best mommy to Dallas I can be!! Busy, busy week ahead! Lord guide me in the direction you want me. Please help me to make wise food choices as I change my lifestyle and get fit. I also pray for the victims of the wrath of the tornado. Help them find solace in still having their lives and families. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN!!
