Day One!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Decided I wanted to start my 30 day challenge today, and not wait until the first of the month because I am so eager for change (: I also decided to blog about my experiences… I read if you go public with weight loss or something you are trying to achieve you are more likely to be successful! So we shall see!!
So far today I started my day by doing what I usually do at 6:30am and that’s help Jesus get ready for work. Then he left around 6:50… I sat down for a bit and then decided today was the day for a new me, so I hopped in the shower and put on a cute outfit and actually did my makeup

Then I did the usual cleaning and cook myself something to eat before my Brooklyn got up… It wasn’t until 10am that Brooklyn got out of bed… By this time I was done with everything! Everything was done by 10am just by me waking up a little earlier and me taking time to actually get ready!
So far this self challenge is wonderful

Let me tell you it’s now 2:45 and I feel wonderful… I have absolutely nothing to do except spend time with Brooklyn and think of what songs I want to do in Zumba today which is unusual. On most occasions right about now it’s crunch time before Jesus gets home from work (cleaning, cooking, getting ready) but not today… My day is going by much nicer!

Oh and I have yet to yell at Brooklyn! I am in a way better mood Today….

For my workout today I did Zumba, crunches and lunges, and I am about to do Yoga! :))

What I have ate:
Banana Smoothie-Breakfast
Apple-Snack
Chicken Quesadilla -Lunch
Tuna and crackers-Snack
Chicken Soup with veggies-Dinner! :)

What I wore today:
well this was a fail the pic was a fail... not what I wore. It's extremely hard to take a full body pic when the only person home is Brooklyn. This is her attempt of taking a picture


So far today I am feeling wonderful (: 



30 day challenge

I woke up this morning feeling a little pumped to take on the day. This is unusual because I normally wake up or am forced to wake up every week day at 6:30am help Jesus get ready for work then hop back into bed by 7:00am... After that I sleep in till about 9am or so and then get my mommy duties on. Mind you I usually am just chilling in my PJ's until all the housework is done. I never fully feel good about myself, and I know things could get done a lot better if I feel better about myself.

I constantly read in blogs that the first thing you need to do to get your day off to a great start is simple: Shower hahaha. I always told myself "when I am a mom I will Never be one of those moms who just wears sweats all day". Well guys that's me in a Nutshell. I shower and then hop right back into a pair of comfy shorts or sweats... This is totally not the person I thought I would be before I came a mother... but I blame it all on Zumba. Why get dressed when I am just going to get sweaty in a couple hours, right? Wrong. I go throughout the day feeling HORRIBLE, I bug Jesus at work sending him texts like "Oh my god, I am so lazy", "Brooklyn is driving me nuts", "Seriously babe can we just start working out" "OMGsh this is the last time I'll ever drink", "I feel sick", "I just weighed myself and I gained another 2 pounds"... YOU GET MY POINT! Everything I ever text him about myself is negative and why... I believe it has a lot to do with my groggy, boring, Plain Jane, I just got out of bed appearance. It's so easy to pick out the negative things about you when you obviously do not care about the way you look.

Oh and don't get me started on the days when I make plans to hangout with a friend... Sometimes I just cancel because I am way too comfortable in my sweats. Pathetic right? Christina or Yvonne will text me "I am on my way" and I have to make up some excuse to keep them from coming right away because I still have yet to get ready. My usual response is "Give me 15 min, I have to get Brooklyn in the bath" haha blame it all on Brooklyn right...

Well I decided today, yes TODAY. That I am giving myself a 30 day challenge. What is this 30 day challenge? This Challenge is to reinvent myself! I want to feel good when I wake up each day. This Challenge includes but not limited too lol Weight loss, Eating healthier, finding God and most importantly getting Dressed each and every day!! NO SWEATS!

So follow me through this 30 day challenge of reinventing ME and I will give you cool TIPS, Recipes and just a good read.
