I am sure I'm not the only one who has the days of not wanting to eat healthy or not wanting to exercise....right!? Some days are harder than others but it is amazing how lately I have been able to push through all those excuses and keep going strong.
Why is that? Well I have finally started getting myself more involved again with other people and groups who have the same mindset as me, I've set goals for myself and made promises to my friends and family ESPECIALLY my kids, that I would reach those goals.
Today was one of those days, I was trying to get the kids ready to go for a walk with me and as I was getting Vitto dressed I felt like I pulled something in my back. Most days I would say "oh that hurts, I'll just stay home now and go tomorrow" NOT TODAY! I took some Motrin, stretched and packed the kids up and got them out and I walked the fasted 1 1/2 miles I have done yet! It felt great, I still feel great. just because I took a 25 minute walk, my good friend and basketball buddy for life told me not to long ago...just remember how you felt after that workout especially on those days you don't want to! Thank you Donna for telling me that and I love that your voice popped in my head when i almost said no!
One of my favorite quotes from when i played basketball was you miss 100% of the shots you DON'T take" so guess what....I/we have a shot at taking a walk everyday and making good food choices everyday.... NO EXCUSES!

Loving what's right infront of me!
It's amazing how sometimes we can just keep going and going and not realize that what is in front of us is truly amazing and a blessing from God.
For a while I was just kind of well....going along with my day, playing with the kids, cooking everyones food, getting kids ready for bed, and doing the same thing the next day. It wasn't until not to long ago that a realization hit....I am taking for granted the life I have. I have just been going along with the day and not realizing what a blessing it is for me to be a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM). For someone who alwasy has worked or been busy with my own life and likes, it was hard for me to realize how this opportunity is amazing.
Now, after some praying and reading, I'm refreshed, revitalized and so proud to be home with my two little ones to teach them things, watch all of their developments everyday and well just be so blessed. I feel like this is exactly what God had planned for me and I can't wait to see what else he has in store for me and my family.
I'm so lucky to that I have an awesome family who constantly helps me out and things of me when opportunities arise. Just and example: my cousin Tim thought of me when it came to his business marketing. So it's giving me the opportunity to still keep my mind and skills intact at this time. I'm so happy and the best part it has to do with sports so that is even better! You can check his company out at www.dreambats.com . He does awesome work and the business is just growing and growing I am so glad i can be apart of this.
Until next time....have a great day!
