 "Always remember that the future comes one day at a time."  - Dean Acheson

 I had my daughter 2 years ago and since I have not been able to lose any weight. I also just had my son about 2 months ago which made things that much more difficult. That's usually how it goes, you have no problem putting the weight on and then you try to lose it and while you may lose a few of the pounds it becomes harder and harder. "insert that's what she said joke here"

My self esteem definitely isn't great and I'm finding it hard to keep up with my 2 year old. This shouldn't be happening I'm only 22 years old... I should be on top of my game right now. I should be running around with my kids, enjoying life to the fullest. And that is exactly what I plan on doing... starting now.

Today was my first day doing Turbo Fire by Chalene Johnson and let me tell you she means business. I have never sweat so much in my life. I'm not gonna lie, it was in no way easy I really had to push through to finish and by the end I wanted to collapse. But it felt great! I had so much energy today that I haven't had in a while and I can't wait to keep going with the program and see how it all turns out. Chalene's attitude throughout the entire workout is so positive, it makes you want to push through and go your hardest. 

Eating healthy is something I have never really done so I have a feeling it will take me some time to get where I want to be. I started counting my calories today and hopefully I will get better as I go on. Tonight I am making homemade sweet potato fries and turkey burgers. That's about as healthy as I'm ready to go right now lol. 

Today I weigh 182 pounds... but hopefully eventually I'll be able to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 145. I'll be blogging weekly if not every few days with my progress, and if you too are on this journey of trying to be healthier and happier, just remember that you aren't alone.

Have a wonderful day

True Blood Season Finale

Yes... I am in fact a True Blood fang-atic ha-ha <---(my attempt at cheesy humor) Sunday night was the season 4 season finale. What are your thoughts.... truthfully I thought it could have been a bit better, although I loved it. If you don't watch it... START! Here are a few highlights....

So Marnie comes back and possesses Lafayette. Uses him to kill his boyfriend Jesus and take his magical powers passed down to him from his crazy mexican grandfather. Lafayette then sports this pretty intense demon face so... Marnie (1) everybody else (0). Success! Her plan is to kill Bill and Eric as revenge for what they did her her, Antonia & everybody else. 

To save Bill & Eric... Holly, Tara & Sookie call upon the spirits to come and take Marnie away. Then there is this ghost scene, which in my opinion was pretty lame. Eventually Marnie gives up and Bill and Eric are safe. Yay. Sookie later tells them that she loves them both but can't choose so the best thing to do would be to leave both of them. She tells both of them not to follow her as she walks out of the house... they don't. Not sure if that was what she really had in mind or if it was girl code for you best freakin' follow me. I personally would jump on Eric in a heartbeat... fact.

 Tara has a hole in her cranium ... o snap

 

So Debbie being the crazy ass that she is shows up with a shotgun points it at Sookie, and Sookie tries to talk her down. Seriously Sookie... use some of that crazy light action. Tara leaps in front of Sookie as Debbie fires and it catches her in head. I can't help but feel like this all could have been avoided had Sookie done something in the first place. I guess she makes up for it though when she pins Debbie down and blows her head off.  I can't really see them killing Tara off though. Thoughts? 

P.S  I absolutely loved when Pam stormed into Fangtasia looking for Eric, shouting that she is so over Sookie and her fairy vagina.
