"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; do good anyway. Give the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

Operation Ipad!!

This is week two people!! Let me update you all with my losing weight progress. lol

So April 8, I weighed in at 204.4... Oh how I hate the 2 in that number! lol But all last week I got in a 30 minute run monday through saturday! Thank you so much to Mone for helping me with getting my workouts in. He watches the kids while I go to slcc and work out.

My plan is to PACE MYSELF! So for week one, my plan was to run 30 minutes. I wont throw in lifting to my workout till my cardio is up and most of my fat has gone down. So for maybe the first 3 or 4 weeks, Ill be doing straight cardio depending on how my weight is looking by week 3.

This week Ill be running 45 miles with a little more resistance and a higher crossramp. How about that? lol And let me tell you, I just got back from my workout and 45 minutes with the higher crossramp and higher resistance, IS KILLER!! But I love the feeling of my back all sweaty cause then I feel like Im doing it right. haha

I've limited my calories and carbs. I eat 1200 calories a day unless my workout allows a little more. =) Most days last week I stayed under my alotted 1200. The My Fitness Pal says that if I dont eat or hit my 1200 calories a day, Im putting my body into starvation mode.. Do I care? lol hell no! haha

I did pick up this cool little recipe off of pinterest. Lettuce wraps that are only 60 calories a wrap!


You all might be thinking, that looks like some gross stuff.. but for real... IT IS BOMB.COM!! And all it is, is LEAN turkey, minced garlic, cilantro, red pepper flakes, lemon and lettuce. As far as the amounts of each ingredient.. I kinda just added to my liking! haha I loved these wraps and if you ever get a chance at them, I recommend them!

So, I weighed in yesterday morning. And in 1 weeks time, I went from 204.4 DOWN to 197.3! ha! How do you like that transition!? Im back in the 190's! So for week one, I proudly report that I lost about 7 pounds! (6.8 to be exact). 

Im feeling good and still going strong! Im very proud of myself and I cant wait till my results show it!

As far as Tamara and Hene go.. They are my support system, my cheerleaders through this weight loss journey! I love them to pieces and thank God that they are here with me to motivate me through this and just overall in life too! Im truly blessed with two amazing kids and I enjoy them every single day!


Theres my girl supporting me while I make my lettuce wraps! I LOVE YOU GIRL!


Theres my stud muffin! Hes so good in Nursery! He just lays on his blanket on the floor and laughs at all the kids fighting over whatever toy! lol I LOVE YOU SON!


And here they are doing what they do best every night! Getting ready for MOVIE NIGHT! haha

Well, thats all for tonight folks! Upcoming blogs/events include, Sunshines Birthday Party, Tamara Hosts A Monster Crew Campout and Going Through The Temple For The First Time!!

Lots to look forward to! =)
