Blog Party!

Thanks to my friend Kate I decided to join the Party!  This is my first year so I hope to obtain many new followers and friends!  A little bit about me.

I got married July 11, 2009.  I just turned 25 in March.  I come from a VERY family oriented family and they all mean the world to me.  Along my 25 years of living I've lost my Dad when I was 18, my Sister when I was 23 and my Mom the most recently last June, just under a month before my wedding.  Life has been tough but I've gotten through it...with the help of my loving husband.  We've only been married less than a year but have spent the last 7 years together.  I can't even imagine a better support system for myself.  We are currently trying to conceive and are struggling.  That's been a journey in itself and I plan to blog about it along the way.  I've also decided I wanted to get "healthier" so I've been exercising 6x a week and I'm enjoying it!! I've started many exercise programs and haven't succeeded...so this is a BIG accomplishment.  I also plan to blog about my journey on trying to lose weight and all those struggles, accomplishments, failures, and everything else that comes with it! 

I'm excited you all decided to stop by and please read back on my other posts!  Follow me and comment so I can follow you as well! 

Some of the prizes I would love to win would be:

40- One winner will receive a 3 day 2 night stay from Holiday Inn Main Gate East in Kissimmee, FL (less than 2 miles from Disney World) a value of $250. Provided by: Holiday Inn Main Gate

Okay, well today while I was getting dressed ( I got to wear jeans to work today and it's not even a Friday!!! Thank you TAKS!!!)  and I realized they felt a teeeeeennnnnny bit looser.  Turns out, I got to tighten my belt to the next hole!  Now, this may not be something to celebrate to alot of people-but to me, its great!!!  I'm excited to finally see some kind of results.  I've been working my butt off and continuing with the running program....which is a MAJOR PLUS for me!  I might actually enjoy running.  Once the weather gets much nicer out, and not dark and gloomy like it is today-I might start running oustide. 

I'm a horrible, horrible, blogger!

Soo many things have happened since I last updated you all. I went to see the dr again. She took more blood and said she doesn't want me to start taking any fertility drugs until I am 100% ready. I'm thinking a little more time spent on getting down some lbs might do the trick, so that's my main focus.
On that note, I've been working out. AND not only working out but I've been sticking to it. I think I'm going on about 5 full weeks of consistant Zumba and also I'm doing this again. I'm about to start my 2nd week and its awesome to get back into running again. I'm already down 4.5 lbs since my last dr's appointment and while I'm feeling great, I hope it continues!! On Mondays, Wednesdays AND Thursdays I do Zumba, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays I run the c25K and on Saturdays....well it ends up being my off day but I think we will start going on walks. I was lacking in the motivation department but then it hit me and I've been nonstop since. I could definately work on my eating habits a little more, but now that I've been working out I've been WAY more cautious about what I put in my mouth and have dropped Sodas like a bad habit. This is a BIG accomplishment because I had to have a Dr. Pepper or Coke daily or else I would get the biggest headache known to mankind. Now, its straight water. I do get my caffeine kick with tea occasionally but as of right now, it will work.
My nephew Robson is cutting 3 teeth, his 2 top teeth and 1 bottom. He's been a crying mess lately. Good thing Edgar and I get to watch him on Saturday! lol Also, my older nephew Michael and his girlfriend and my soon to be niece had their baby on April Fools Day. He was an 8 lbs 15 oz cute bundle of joy. His name is Landon, and while she went into labor on the 31st (which would have been my Dad's 55th birthday) he felt the need to be born on HIS AUNT's, my niece, Miranda's 13th birthday.
I also turned 25. I was sad about turning 25 the whole week leading up to my birthday. My sister cooked dinner for me. It was also a reality check when I realized it wasn't my Mom that was going to be cooking for me and that was hard to swallow. In the end, I had a great birthday and I am looking forward to what is going to happen this year. I hope its a great year for me and Edgar both. I see some really great things happening in our future.
Well....its Monday and its back to work I go. Have a great week!
P.S. Edgar and Have been keeping up with our goals for 2010 and we have seen a movie every month AND we went to see the Boston Celtics vs the Dallas Maverics in March. It was so much fun!
