Well, a lot has happened since I last posted, but it doesn't really seem like I have a lot to tell. Life!
I didn't really get to finish my 21 day challenge, but I am still having success with my weight loss and eating healthier. I was doing very well on the challenge and seeing some success, but the timing was just really bad! We had a trip planned that put me out of town for 5 days and then we got iced in, in Arlington for an extra day. Needless to say...I wasn't going to drive to Dallas (40 minutes each way) to pick up more food for the program. When I got home it was really difficult to fit it into the routine of our daily life. I really enjoyed the food and I wish I was able to stick with it. However, I did learn A LOT! I learned about fixing foods that are healthier and portions. Even after just 1.5 weeks, I was able to train myself to only eat the right portion sizes. My body just recognizes that it is satisfied faster! It is awesome.
So...the results so far: I am at 134 lb (pre-pregnancy weight was 133!) and I have lost 3 inches in my hips!!!! I am so excited! I had to buy new jeans because I was really tired of pulling up my other ones all the time!! I am continuing to learn and adjust what I eat and what I do for exercise. Everyone is noticing the difference and it feels GREAT!
My Mary Kay business is going really well! I finally recruited my third person and have now earned my RED JACKET! That is one thing I LOVE about this business. I am my own boss and if I want a promotion...I just have to do the work to promote myself. If I don't meet my goals...no one can fire me. I just push back the deadline a little! And you mothers know that with two little babies...deadlines get pushed...a lot! :)
The family is doing great! Travis is being shifted around at work to a better team. He is pretty excited about being on a different team and actually enjoying his work.
Jayden is getting so big and is such an awesome big sister! She helps out so much around here,especially with her little sister. We were playing a game the other night and one of the cards asked Jayden to say the name of a friend, "KENLEY!!" is the first thing that she yelled! :) My heart melted!! There is just nothing like sisters!
Kenley is WALKING!!!! Scary! She has really started to move and groove! She loves to dance and it is very entertaining to watch her try to walk and dance at the same time. HILARIOUS!
Well, that is about it for now. I really am trying to be better at posting. I need to schedule a time each day to sit down and do it. I'm just really bad at scheduling! :) We'll see what happens!
Thanks for sticking around!
