My gym(Planet Fitness) offers free tanning if you have the Black Card Membership..which is only $20/month. I had never been tanning in my life but I thought I would start. I've been only 3 times now...for only 5 minutes each. So far I see no change in my color lol!! But I'm assuming it'll take awhile and probably more time in the bed. I'm working on it. Honestly I am still very tense the whole time being in the beds. Sounds stupid I know but I have some fears of tanning. That's why it took me so darn long to ever do it!!
Fears
1. Claustrophobia..I know not really a fear but yea..it's tight in there!
2. A light bulb will burst and cut me! LOL!
3. Someone will walk in on me..even though the door is locked.
4. I will BURN TO DEATH like the chicks in Final Destination 3.
Ok Ok..they're strange fears..but yeah. I'm facing these fears and just doing it!!!!! I want to be tan darn it!!! And I hate being out in the hot sun. So...yeah.
Ok, on to working out. I have been working out pretty much every day. Last 2 days(yesterday and today) I didn't work out but I will be right back at it. Actually I may go to the gym tonight after work. It'll be SUPER late..but better late than not at all. Just need to remember to take my gym clothes and put them in the car. Hmm..I think I will do that right after this post.
I weighed in on Sunday and it was 236.4. I have lost a couple lbs while on the cleanse. Which is over btw. :)

Sunday Weigh In
Ok, I finally remembered to weigh in! LOL! But, unfortunately I forgot until mid day. Usually I weigh myself first thing in the morning. So I am still at 239...boooo!!! It's only day 2 of the Cleanse though, so I have lots of faith that the cleanse will jump start the weight loss for me.
Today I got a trial pack from a friend for ACE. It's a week trial. We will see how those effect me as well. Always up to trying something new!! You never know what works best for you until you give it a try. So, I'm excited to see.
I had a wonderful workout with my best friend Nicole this morning! I was so glad to see her really enjoying working out!! She has committed to doing a workout with me 3 days a week. Rather it's in the gym or doing something active. I'm really proud of her!
Tomorrow morning I have a morning workout planned with my Aunt Bev...super excited about that as well!
Having a partner for the gym makes it SO much more fun!!! Anyone else want to join just let me know! We can either go to the gym, do something active somewhere, or you can join Nicole and I when we do something outside of the gym.
Oh, let's go on a hike!!!!! ;)

Super Excited!
Today has been a GREAT day!! So excited because I will be taking my boys to the movies in a few minutes. I haven't had good quality time with them (outside of the house) in quite awhile!!
Lately I've been lazy and just eating cereal for breakfast, not a very good decision. At least it wasn't a very sugary cereal lol, but still. And yes I use Almond Milk, not actual milk. But last night I decided to quit being lazy and made a HUGE pot of Steel Cut Oats and put them into individual tubber ware bowls. So I have breakfast (and a healthy one at that) for this whole week!!!
Hey, that's a step people!! One step at a time!!
Also, today I ordered a Herbal Cleanse from AdvoCare for my husband and I! We will start that tomorrow! YAY! Been really wanting to do another cleanse for a long time now. This will be so good for us, and will help jump start my weight loss. I've been so over due.
A friend of mine on FaceBook loves and uses AdvoCare products but also uses a product called Ace. It's still new to me but she's had amazing results with it. So I will be getting a week trial pack from her on Sunday or Monday. Don't get me wrong people, I LOVE my AdvoCare...I'm just always willing to try something new. As long as it's not a lot of chemicals. Hey, if I wasn't willing to try something new, I would've never found AdvoCare!! :) In case you decide to try a trial pack of Ace, you can contact her on FB. Her name is Alex Davies.
If you want to try AdvoCare, you know you can just contact me! ;)
My Aunt Beverly committed to come with me to the gym both Monday and Tuesday morning..so I'm super excited about that!! I love having a workout partner! YAY!
Today I will be cooking spaghetti and meat balls for the family...with mock meat! So let's see if they will even notice a difference. I will let everyone know tomorrow.
Well, that's all I got for y'all today! I will weigh in Sunday!

So Out Of Shape...
So yeah...today was the first time I worked out in a couple of months. So ashamed to admit that too. So many people have been messaging me saying I'm such an inspiration and yet I haven't deserved that.
People are always asking me for advice. Honestly my best piece of advice I can ever give is "Don't EVER quit!!"
Seriously! I learned that first handed. Once you quit for awhile it is SO hard to get back on track. Luckily I've been okay with my eating so I haven't gained too much weight back. But my workouts have been non existent.
Today I made the decision I will start up again. I went to a park near my house that has a nice walking trail early this morning and walked a few laps and even jogged a few, then I used the park equipment to do some stairs and other various exercises(it was early so no kids there yet thankfully lol). I wasn't out there for maybe 45 minutes total and I thought I was going to DIE! It was SOOOOO hot! Well, I do live in Texas so yeah lol.
But that right there showed me how out of shape I really was!! Before I stopped my workouts I would walk 8 miles easily!! UGH!! So so so ashamed of myself.
But at least I'm getting back to it!!! That's the best you can do. It sucks starting over but it's so worth it. If you don't quit to begin with you'll never have to start over lol!!
Keep me accountable people!!! :)

Raw Burrito
Today I made a Raw Burrito! I got the recipe off of RawKristina's YouTube channel. (I put the video on my last post) Surprisingly it wasn't as good as I was hoping it'd be, but it was still pretty darn good!
Most importantly, I tried something new. My family tried something new. My husband was actually excited because he got to help me in the kitchen. Which he rarely gets to do. We love trying new things together so that was a plus lol!
Here is a picture of the burritos! I know to make it where I'll LOVE it, I'll probably try it again but with a few different ingredients. There was too much bell pepper for us. The sauce has bell peppers in it and you add more peppers on the burrito so I think that was my main problem. Next time instead of bell peppers on the burrito I will try onions and jalapeno peppers. That sounds YUM! So yeah, it's always a process and you'll have to have trials. :)
