Life is what you make it...

I believe you choose the life you have. If you want to be happy then that's a choice you make. Sometimes I have moments when I feel sad, am being selfish or ungrateful but they are few and far between. I usually snap out of them pretty quickly. I found myself the last couple weeks looking at the things that bothered me instead of looking at how blessed I am. I let others who were upset and being negative effect me. I am now choosing to look at all that I have and be thankful. I have a fabulous life and am very blessed to have an adoring husband of almost 16 years and 3 wonderful and healthy boys. Life isn't perfect but it's pretty darn good.

I chose to make the most of my life, to be happy and to live everyday without regrets. To cherish the memories and look forward to the future.

A bit bad today...

I went to bed way too late last night and woke up way too early. Went to work and just knew today wasn't going to be the best day. I didn't go work out during lunch even though I knew I should and came straight home after work even though I should have went to the gym. I'm not going to beat myself up too much. I know I just feel so much better and feel like I accomplished something when I do get a good workout in.

but hey.... looking forward to tomorrow and a great workout!

I feel great..

So it's been about 4 weeks now that I started trying to eat healthier and work out. I am still doing Zumba twice a week and last week I joined Anytime Fitness. I'm working out during my lunches and either before or after work. I am couting my calories and trying to eat foods that are good for me. I am feeling really good, alot more energy. I have lost 14 lbs so far. I haven't been able to tell much of a differance yet but I know if I keep it up I will soon be able to tell.

I have been buying alot of organic foods and trying to stay away from anything processed. It use to not be a big deal to me but I finally decided I wanted both myself and my family to live healthier and I know this is better for all of us.

The kids are enjoying their summer. Ralph just stayed at my parents for a week. I sure did miss him. None of the boys have been away from me for that long. He had a really great time and is ready to go back.

Ralph leaves to go on his yearly fishing trip after work this Friday. He will be gone until Wednesday. We don't get to talk to him at all while he is away and we all miss him like crazy. I know he'll have a great time though. I am planning on taking the boys school shopping while he is gone and will plan a few fun things to do with them.

So, that's all for now.
