I bet you thought I had up and disappeared didn't ya? Thought I'd given up again or lost the motivation to do this. Well folks, never fear,  I didn't disappear and I haven't given up or lost motivation ;) I simply decided that posting daily was not necessary and that I would post one or twice a week that way I'd actually have stuff to share. I felt that doing it daily didn't give me much to talk about and I want to keep ya coming back for more so I felt I should do it this way.

So I've been gone for 7 days. In those 7 days I've kept up my workouts every single day except for Sunday which is my rest day and I've actually lost a couple pounds already, go me! I still need to do better about eating healthier or less. I am proud of myself so far for keeping up with it especially with how the 30 day ab challenge gets more and more each day! The workout for the Big Life group is consistent but don't them both I won't lie is tiring and alot for someone who for the past 9yrs has sat on her bum all day! I am determined to stick to this, to set it through.

I finished my first college course, Introduction to Design Applications, for my degree in photography and got an A! The class I'm taking now is Fundamentals of Design and so far it's pretty easy and I'm liking it. My next class will be Principles of photography, I'm super excited for that one as it will be my first real photography class! I'm hoping to get alot of hands on experience in that class ;) So glad my schedule was changed last minute to the class I am in right now as I was supposed to take a remedial math class, yuck!

Sunday I got to do a photo shoot with a dear old friend from high school named Heather and I had a blast and am so proud of the pictures I took! I also got to hang out with another friend from high school and that was a blast to, it was so great to just get out and unwind!

This coming Sunday will be my oldest daughters 18th birthday! I can hardly believe it myself. I keep asking myself how did this happen, I feel like I closed my eyes and she grew up, everyone always tells you how fast your kids will grow up and folks they ain't lyin! My youngest son had his 14th birthday this past Monday too. It's been a fun and interesting week to say the least. I hope you all had a wonderful past week yourselves and I'll see you in a few days with more updates ;)

Get er done

Hi again and welcome back to my blog! It's day two in a row of my blog writing, go me!

Today was a decent day overall, work went well overall, one of my calls dragged on forever and in the end I accomplished nothing so that was no fun. I'm a technical support representative for an internet provider in case your wondering. So I take inbound calls from people when their internet is down, I took the job thinking I'd rock it and love it and ya that did not happen, took me up until very recently to get to a point where my call times are within what the company wants me to have and literally taking the same type of calls daily for a seriously crap internet provider sucks bad! The customers take it out on me as if I'm the problem when really it's the crap company that refuses to shell out money so these people can have a reliable connection!

So I was good all night until my husband accidentally yanked the cord to my headset out of my computer then I had to restart my computer so it would work again cause my computer is having some issue I cannot fix that's on my last nerve to because when it comes to fixing computers I'm usually really good at it, like have a winning streak of 99% for real and this issue along with others have eluded me so when he did that it brought all that to my attn so it put in the bad mood I'm in right now actually! Paid alot of money for my computer and I want it to run right! The whole thing got me thinking about crud in my life to so it's not been good!

On a happier note I got my exercises in today!! Still working on living that Big life! Did 20 sit ups, 30 lunges, 8 crunches, 8 leg raises, 12 second plank, 40 arm circles backward and forward and twenty minutes on the elliptical, go me! I'm alive and breathing and am fairly healthy I guess in that I'm not sick. I need to push myself to drink more water though! Hope everyone had a blessed day and has a blessed day tomorrow!!

The Real Healing Journey Begins!

So last Thursday I became a member of the Big Life, lead by Pamela Crim. Pamela leads myself as well as a bunch of other girls and by a bunch I really mean a ton! This group is about living the Big Life, the life you were made for, the life your were destined for, the happy life, the great life, the healthy life, you get the idea. It's about not living the same boring life day in day out, it's about challenging yourself, making real life changes, weeding out the bad and keeping the good, making daily, weekly and monthly goals and sticking to it, we ask hold each other accountable! Living a no excuses life! I have only been a member for a short time but wow, how much I am loving it already is just awesome! One of my best friends from high school is a member too, she is the reason I joined, she told me about it and I had to go check it out of course! Being a member means you get exclusive access to the website, the Facebook group, the weekly meal plans she provides that includes the grocery list for that week, how awesome is that, the monthly exercise plan, the daily devotionals that are amazing and the weekly live stream session that she does and of course her support along with the support of every other girl in the group! 

This is going to be an amazing journey for me, I can feel it already and I hope that you will come along with me on this journey by reading my blog! I hope to be funny and inspiring and real too! Not going to lie, I've been horrible in the past about blogging but this time I am determined to keep it up! I'll be posting pictures of my exercising and just random other pictures I take to because I'm also studying to be the best photographer I can and make a business of it so if your reading this and your in the Colorado springs area of Colorado and like what you see and would like me to take some pictures for you please let me know! I'm dirt cheap ;) Thanks so much for reading to the end too! Have a wonderful and blessed day tomorrow!!

I will post some pictures below of my exercises I've done today and a link to my photography page and to the Big Life site so you too can join! There is a monthly fee of $25 but I would be lying if I said it wasn't worth every penny cause it is, I promise!!
