15 Things is more then enough. They are harder things this year. Some are the same. Maybe if they are on my list 2 years in a row they will get done the second time around. I am grateful for another amazing year to come. I am blessed to have my sweet children and my awesome husband who put up with me and make me feel special. I am grateful for my family and friends, and all the support that others have given me. Even though I have 2 days till 2013, I am starting today! 

What did I do???

Its almost the end of 2012. I am a little sad. 2012 was a good year for me. My family and I were able to do so much together. We took an amazing trip to Disneyland, I went back to school and I finished school. I did things that I wanted to do, and I am so blessed for all the opportunities that I have been given. Last year I wrote a big list of new years resolutions. Here they are.

My New Years Resolutions -

I actually accomplished more then I thought I was going to. This makes me feel good and I can see that my huge list was not so hard to finish! I can't believe it was a year ago when I wrote this! It seems like a couple months ago! I will write and post my "new" new years resolutions. For now, GOODBYE 2012!!!! 

A little update.

This week I have been so sick, I hate that's have not worked out, but I know my body needs to rest to get over this stupid cold! I've decided that as soon as I can I'm starting cut, (lower my body fat) this week I've really tried to eat healthy this week. But it's a week before Christmas. I've gained weight, staying inside because of the cold and not going out to play and not sticking to my clean eating has not been good on my body. It makes me mad, but I'm also have more muscle mass then I ever have. I won't have a problem cutting. I want it more then anything. I can do this!!! With 6 days till Christmas I am promising myself that I won't gain anymore weight. I got a job as a personal trainer I start in January. I also am teaching a group fitness class! This is huge and just what I wanted!!! I'm so excited to start! It's a good feeling to know all my hard work studying has paid off!

Motivation???

I found some pins on pinterest, thought I'd share!

Guess what???

So.........
I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I now have to be CPR certified and I'm an official personal trainer!
Thank you for all the support!!! And thanks to my awesome husband and kids who have been so supportive!

Easy Crockpot Chicken

Last night I made some amazing chicken for dinner and who knew it could be so easy!

You need a package of chicken breasts. 1 cup water. 1 light raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

Put all of it in the crock pot for 4 hours! Done! I added rice and a salad. Perfect healthy dinner!

I hope it's over!

This has been super busy month and I'm not doing very well updating my blog! With Christmas right around the corner, and trying to finish school this has already been a busy month!!! For 3 days I have been taking my final exam to be a personal trainer. I find out within the next three days if I passed. I think I did good. I took my time. I studied like crazy. I think I know my stuff! I pray that I passed so I don't have to go through 3 more days of sitting in a chair!

I have already been offered a job, I'm so excited! I just have to pass this exam. I think that is why I am so nervous! I want this job so bad. Send positive thoughts my way!!!

I am still really hoping to compete in a Body building competition! The last 3 months I've gained weight I've really bulked up, not what I want. So now it's time to cut. I'm giving myself 12 weeks. I've started now at 1500 calories a day, after Christmas I'm going to 1300 calories. I'm starting new years resolutions in January, I will post those at a later time. It's time now to go over my old resolutions and see how badly I failed ... Or succeeded!

I'll post as soon as I get my results! Send me happy thoughts!!!
