As much as I don't like the number 13, I'll let it slide.

I don't know what it is about that number, but I just don't like it. I don't know when it started but I just know I don't like it. I remember when I went to get my first license plate for my car they handed me one with a 13 on it and I asked them to switch it because I just felt like it would be bad luck, luckily they did. BUT I will not let my dislike of that ugly number ruin this year or my hopes for it so...

HAPPY 2013!

2012:
-Lennon turned one and has been growing and just such an amazing human being to watch.
-I joined two amazing companies and have seen my sales grow, plus I get to talk about two things that I love and use on a daily basis.
-My relationship is stronger than ever and I am proud to see that we have grown.
-I've learned much more about myself and about life.
-I got a promotion and a raise at my 9-5(or 7-3:30) and I have learned so much within this company.

I really know 2013 will bring so many more blessings to my life. One of the things I am focusing on again is getting healthy, I was doing so good I lost 80 pounds and then the holidays came around and I started slacking so I want to get back on track! One thing I would like to tell you about is Greens a daily vitamin supplement you put in your water:

Build your immunity and it helps with weight loss, click on the picture for more details. It's cheaper and better than the leading alternatives! Plus it's something I use daily. 

What are key things that helped you change around your mentatlity in regards to becoming a healthier person? I need any tips I can get to get me back on board!

Thank you to anyone and everyone that checked out my blog in 2012, I know I can be scatterbrained and sometimes lack content but I appreciate every view. I can't wait to see how this grows in 2013!

I am Back!

So it's been a long hectic week and I am so so so happy tomorrow is Friday! I will be doing a pamper party girls night with Scentsy, It Works and Slumber Party products! I love hosting these events to help my friends (and myself) bring in extra income!

Our local party city opened up a liquidation center and had EVERYTHING marked down to $1, so we got most of the birthday supplies for both my mom's 50th and my son's 1st for a GREAT deal. Plus I'm making a lot of the supplies on my own thanks to pinterest!

On a healthier note, I am attempting to lose 10 more pounds by our San Diego trip next month, plus I have 40 more pounds to go to hit my goal weight and a total of 120 pounds lost! 80 pounds so far, I hit a plateau and got super discouraged but sought the guidance of a friend of mine who was in the same position as I was after she had her daughter and she steered me in the right direction. I am now eating 5 small meals a day to equal about 1100-1200 calories. I am using PROFIT (https://wrapyourwaytothin.myitworks.com/Shop/Product/933) protein shakes to supplement one meal a day and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I mix mine with either almond milk or water and they are delicious both ways. I bought a blender bottle:

 on Amazon, they run about $5-$10 depending on the size you get but they are AMAZING perfect for your protein shakes, or morning smoothie/juice blends.

My friend also recommended I try the Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown. Now I am a huge fan of The Biggest Loser and of Jillian Michaels who dealt with her own weight loss struggles, however I also know she is a fast past trainer and well I'm not in the best shape. However when I saw Yoga I was thinking this will be a great routine to ease into.... It's a great routine but it's not your typical yoga, it's a fast paced repetition based yoga. You will sweat and you will get your heart rate going, you will also feel the burn the next day. If you are new to Yoga or working out in general, they do have a beginner model showing you modified versions of the poses. It's a great workout though, it has 2 different levels and I would definitely recommend it! 

Ultimate Body Applicators

You can tell what arm she "wrapped", these are real results. You can get these results on any part of your body. Results like this make me so happy to be apart of this company. Of course I still believe you need to change your lifestyle to be healthy, but for those of us who lose like 80lbs in less than a year, we sometimes have extra skin hanging in places we don't like. These wraps helped me tone my stomach, they've helped me reduce my stretch marks and they have help my arms shrink.

But when I saw that picture above I was even more amazed, it's just such a drastic but real difference. Whenever I see that underarm flap, I always think about that movie with cameron diaz where she compares her underarm flab to the american flag waving. Who wants a waving flag under their arm? Not me, that's why I have to continue to work on it, as well as when my order of wraps get in I will be doing another session on them! My goal is to lose 20 more pounds by my son's birthday which is September 10th.

Who wants to lose weight with me? We can keep each other motivated? It's always easier with a buddy!

Birthday Party Planning

We have started to plan our son's first birthday. Most of it will be DIY, mickey mouse clubhouse. I am so excited, but also so nostalgic, this past year has gone by so FAST. I wish I held him more, cuddled on him, just enjoyed every second. Time goes by so fast once you become a parent. My son is the love of my life, I couldn't ask for a better human being to enter my world.

We are going to check out a local bakery on Saturday they do gluten free cakes and cupcakes, since Lennon can't eat gluten we will be getting both gluten free. I'm also going to do Hot Dog's (which I don't particularly like) to go with the hot dog song at the end, pizza slices shaped like mickey and deli meats shaped like mickey. I'm so excited it gives me a project to do for the next two months.

What did you do for your child's first birthday? did you go all out or keep it low key?

That's a picture from when he was like 6 months old, he's just full of personality. Love him! Love being a mom. Can't wait to be a stay at home, thankfully my It Works! is getting me closer and closer everyday and letting me pursue my education!
