Wow..these past 2 weeks have been so wonderful!! Okay so all my sisters came to visit for Spring Break..and I had such a great time visiting with them...we got to spend a lot of quality time together and it really made me miss the days when we were all together. Easter turned out to be really good...we colored eggs, hunted them and then the fam made dinner together, which isn't something that happens very often. So It was really nice to spend the day with just family in somewhat of a normal gathering. The kids also had a lot of fun, which is what really matters....Of course the house has been non stop commotion with the kids running around..driving everyone crazy..but its worth it all just to spend time with my sisters...I love them :)

March 20 ~ Soooo Excited
I'm so excited that my 2 little sisters are coming for Spring Break. I love them oh sooooo much and miss them so much that words cant explain. I cant wait until they actually move back here this summer. My brother and my sisters are so special to me, I love them so much. We will all be together at once, so I think we are going to go take some pictures for my mom and grandma while they are here. Okay well that's all...just wanted to share my excitement!!!!

March 18 ~ Starting Over, Part 2
Okay where was I....oh yeah, the whole health kick..well Alyssa and I went walking twice last week...slacked this past weekend cause my sister came into town, and hopefully if it doesn't rain again tomorrow we will continue....Its so depressing wanting to lose weight...and then its sooo hard to stick to the actual process of losing it. No one really knows how hard it is until they have been in the situation themselves...its easier said then done. However i am officially sick of it and will be doing my best to lose the weight so I can be happy once and for all. Not that i am completely miserable in life right now, cause i have plenty to be grateful for...but it could definitely be a lot better...my main focus is to do it for myself and not because others want me to lose weight....I need to do this for me and my health..so I can watch my daughter grow up and see her children. Okay enough of that..
My next goal that I want to meet during my journey towards weight loss is school. I hated high school so much, and never cared much for college...it just wasn't talked about much in my household growing up so I just never really gave it any thought...Now that I am older I see how important it really is to have an education...you really cant get a decent paying job unless you have some college background, and I want so much more in life then to have to live pay check to pay check...i want to take my daughter on vacations, go shopping when I want to, have nice things in life...I'm not materialistic, but I do like nice things. So, in order to have those things I have to get my crap together and get back in school. My dream job is to be a make-up artist...always has been. I did the cosmetology thing in high school, and it was fun and I learned a lot, but it focused more on hair..which isn't my thing. There are beauty schools that offer estetician courses which goes hand in hand with doing make up...but now that I am a mother I really feel that that career would require a lot of time away from home...and when I was growing up my moms job kept her away from home a lot...and I don't know that I want that for my daughter...So...witht hat being said...my next choice is to become a Registered Nurse. I would be an awesome nurse. I was a nurse aide forever when I got out of high school..and I loved it...but after i had my daughter I never went and got re certified after being out of work for 2 years to stay home with her. So after I went back to work I did some home health and this past year I worked a couple desk jobs..which are fun and all, but I really don't need to be sitting on my butt for 8 hours a day. So next month, hopefully I will get to start taking classes to be re certified as a nurses aide...which will get me back on the path to becoming a nurse. What I mean by that is it will get me back in the groove of things so I can do that while going to school to become a nurse starting this fall. And if i stay focused I know I can do it...as well as my boyfriend who wont let me give up...he is kinda hard on me about it..but i do realize that its only for my own good cause he wants me to be successful, and I want to be as well...so I listen to his lectures and bite my tongue...cause I know it is what i need to hear to keep me motivated. Thank you for that babe =)
I really think that by starting school and losing weight...things will start to fall into place for me and my daughter. All I want is to be the best mom I can be for her and any future children I might have. As well as for my younger brother and sisters who are just as important to me.
Im really glad that I got a chance to blog tonight, I feel so much better after getting all this off my chest, cause beofre I sat down all I wanted to do was cry! Im glad I feel better now. Im really not sure how many people read this, but if I had no readers at all...(thank you for those that do) ...this is still a great self help tool when I blog...cause I rarely talk about my problems with people ( im usually listening to theirs) and this is a good way to get it all out. Okay well Im all done for tonight...thanks for stopping by :)

March ~ 13 Starting Over
Okay so today I am starting over, starting over on my path to happiness, health, and success. I know it wont be easy, but I know that if I stay focused I can do it. There are so many things in life that can easily take you away from your priorities, and it happens to everyone, but the most important thing is to acknowledge it and pick up where you left off. Which is what I am doing now. I used to blog all the time when I opened my site, then the chaos of the holidays got me off track, and I had really crappy hours at my job, and not to mention I have a 3 year old that wants and deserves all the little free time I did have. However i am going to make it a point to blog atleast 3 times a week, I really dont think my life is exciting enough to do it everyday, lol.
My journey to health is a must. I have gained so much weight this past year. Its sick. I blame it partly on the Depo shot, and some because of having a desk job, which I never had till this past year, and the other part is pure LAZINESS!!! Yes I said it..too lazy to want to exercise. its either exercise or watch The Hills or Rock of Love??? yeah you know which one im picking. But today me and my daughter went for a walk around the block, it was nice and refreshing, and also a really good time for quality time with just her and I. So I am going to start walking while she rides her little Dora bike at least 4 times a week, I would like to do it everyday, but so I dont go back on my word, I will just say 4 times a week :) I feel like my weight has played a major factor in my unhappiness in life, so I really do think that becoming more healthy and losing weight, a lot of other things will start to fall into place.
To be continued....
Giving Thanks ~ I am thankful for being alive :)

Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each
of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important,
Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest
to your heart
Cling to that as you would your life, for without
them life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give
Nothing is really over … until the moment
you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less
than perfect,
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's
impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your Dreams. To be without
dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget
where you've been,
But also know where you're going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
every step of the way.
Giving Thanks ~ Thank you to Kendra from GND for posting this..It couldnt have come at a better time in my life. A reminder of how precious our lives are, and how we take it for granted too often.
