19 Days

I have 19 days till my sisters wedding and my goal of 145 pounds. I still weight 150 :( But I took before and after pictures and I can see a little difference! Working out 6 days a week and eating healthy are paying off, and see the small changes are making me want to see a HUGE change! So my journey continues! I will be in the 130's by July. I can't wait to see the after pictures then!!!

Well here they are, 3 weeks down! Its funny cause most before and after pictures show the tan person as the after, mine are opposite! Hahaha!!!

Pinterest Ideas that WORK!

Going through my pins, on Pinterest and there are a couple that I have done and I have not talked about! How can I not share some pretty cool ideas???

The first one, is the Mascara Trick.
- Add 4-5 drops of saline solution to your dried up mascara. It works!!! I have done it 3-4 times to the same mascara tube and I am still getting more out! This is a great idea to save money.

Stain remover from carpets.
- Sprinkle baking soda on the stain, let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then vacuum it up. Make 1 cup vinegar, 1 cup water, and 1 drop of dish soap, add it to spray bottle and spray on stain. Let it sit for a minute and then scrub. Stain came right up! I even used this on high traffic areas, works great!


Then we have one that I pinned and it does not work.
- Put one cup of baking soda in your toilet and let sit for an hour, then flush and its clean. THIS DID NOT WORK. DON'T WASTE YOUR BAKING SODA! It did not even work a little bit, and my toilet was not that dirty. I will stick with Comet!

Weekly Goals

I am at a stand still in my weight loss. Today I kinda gave up, and gave into the movie theater popcorn and a chocolate treat. Tonight, I am so mad at myself. After all my hard work, why did I give into my cravings and give up what matters most to me? As I sit here and regret my choices for the day I am thinking about what I am going to change, and what I need to do for me. This week I am getting out of this weight loss rut, and I am going to hit my goal of 145 by then end of this month. I can do this. I just need to try.

My weekly goals this week are not just weight loss. I am going to try one thing each day from Pinterest for kids. I have a board labeled "kids" I don't know if I have ever tried anything on there and I have a TON of pins!

This week I am going to try new recipes that are healthy. My family is sick of eating the same healthy food, so I am going to kick it up and add some new flavors. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I am going to try one new workout a day. Just one new set of exercises that I can add to my routine.

This week, I am going to do a service project. I don't know what that is going to be, but I was reading over my new years resolutions and on my list was. Service. This week I am going to find a way I can serve.
