This is the sunset I want to ride off into some day.

My favorite quote

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the
world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not
just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Hi

Hi Everybody,



So here I am again.... YAY!!!!! :) So I've had a pretty good week even though I'm feeling completely UNenergized today. I wrote in here on Monday, then Tuesday I got up and MOVING at a decent time. I put moving in big letters because getting up at a decent time is not my problem I actually like getting up at 8am but my problem is I like to get on the computer or turn the tv on and I can easily sit in front of either of those electronics for 2 hours until it's time to get ready for work or wherever I have to go or do that day. So anyways Tuesday morning I headed for the gym then upon getting there realized a Zumba class was about to begin and why not I'll try the new leader and see what happens. I loved it.... I mean Myra was still my favorite leader but Linda's not bad I personally think for me what makes it or breaks it as a good experience or not is the music. I'm all about music love it it is one of my few passions in life. Anyways I enjoyed it. Then I went for a quick swim in the pool and headed for home. I was going to go to the gym again Tuesday night with my workout buddy and friend nicole but I got off work late and was really hungry and wanted to get home and get some dinner. I figured it wasn't too big of a deal since I had already done one good workout that day. Then Wednesday I was going to go to the gym again in the morning to do a workout but I overslept of course it seems the only thing that gets me out of bed these days is work(money) or caffeine. I need to stock up on some 5 Hour Energy. Anyways I went to work and even before I left I told myself "since you didn't go to the gym this morning (I knew I wouldn't go at night cause I had plans) you will will will take the dog for a walk tonight" I love to go for walks I'm not sure if I've put that in here anywhere but I really do like to go for walks especially in this crisp fall weather we've been having in Ohio lately. So anyways I am not a big fan of walking bymyself I will if I have to it's not so bad if I have music but I prefer to walk with a baby in a stroller or a dog don't ask me why but I feel like I stand out less as a fat chick going for a walk but rather just a lady taking her dog for a walk or taking a kid out to tire them out and get them some activity either way it takes the spotlight off me. I don't know I just came up with that it sounds good lol. Anyways I like to walk my dog but before she had a big problem with pulling and it drove me crazy so I just stopped taking her for walks. But a couple of weeks ago my parents bought her a harness that is supposed to keep her from pulling so much while walking. I love this thing I would recommend it to ANYONE. She walks so nice now I love that both of us are getting more exercise because of it and we're getting out in the beautiful weather like last night was amazing. Anyways moving on so I pulled myself out of bed this morning again and went to Zumba class again. I wasn't quite as into it today as I was on Thursday but the moves were a little harder and I wasn't following all that well but I figure as long as I stayed and participated for the entire class (which I did) then it's a good thing. Afer the class I went to the gym and did some weight lifting cause I really havn't done much this week and while I'm happy with myself for being more active and doing more cardio I know I need to keep up with my weight lifting as well. So there you have it my productive exercisable week. I have to go get ready for work in half an hour but I want to let you all know I'm reading Shay from the BIGGEST LOSER her blog she links it to her facebook alot like I do and every thursday she does where she answers the first 25 questions asked and I'm going through the last few she's done and reading them they're very educational I am really enjoying reading them so I would suggest to you to take a look as well. I feel like I might be reading alot of her blog/website in the days to come so please check it out..... http://www.shaysorrells.com/?cat=4 BYESSSSS

Happy Labor Day

Good Morning everyone, So As I promised it doesn't matter what I write about as long as I write and right now I don't have a whole lot to say.

I think it was Friday that I wrote in here so I'll start with Saturday. It was a pretty great day. To start I was home alone all morning which is always good for my soul then I went out and did my part of the paper route my dad and I do. Which wasn't so bad because the weather was beautiful. Some people (Luke W.) may think otherwise but personally I LOVE LOVE LOVE this cooler weather Ohio is having right now. Fall is by far my favorite season only to be followed by Spring. :) Anyways then I went to Lane Bryant (not to work) to get FREE CLOTHES!!!! I loved it, you see I was going out with a friend of mine that evening, and I wanted to get a new top. So we went to a friend of mines house for a cookout and mini bonfire. Which was really nice cause I don't get to see him very often and him and his wife are having their first child and I got to see the nursery which is comming along beautifully. And we just plain had time to catch up. Then after that a guy I went to high school with was playing at a club in Bowling Green so we went to see his show. It was awesome. If you have time and have never listened to him you should definently check out LUKE JAMES he auditioned to be on American Idol last season and made it to the cut of the final 24. Yesterday was a a nice day too, I got to sleep in (as I did today) Then I went to church which I hadn't been to in a while so that was nice it was a great messge and they sang one of my favorite songs at the end. Then I came home and we had company over and my mom and I made an awesome dinner. Complete with cheesecake, salad, my famous sauteed mushrooms and onions (yum yum yum), moms amazing mashed potatoes, and grams famous roast beef (which really gave mom a run for her money this time around). After dinner I took my puppy for a walk. My parents bought her a walking harness which makes walking her a heck of a lot nicer than it used to be. She used to pull so bad when i would walk her and I love to walk her but I just couldn't handle the pulling so now that she has this harness we're going to be going for a lot more walks. We usually just go to Pemberville But there is a park in Perrysburg I've been wanting to take her to it's not an actual dog park but it's just a big beautiful park with a huge walking trail going around it and there's lots of dogs that go there to walk. Now that I think of it Pearson Park would be another nice place to take her to walk but thats a longer drive to get to. So now today I usually go to the gym on Monday nights but because of it being Labor day they're open but they close early and I work one thirty to six thirty today so by the time I get out of work which is when I would normally go to the gym they will be closed. :( ok well I gotta go get me some breakfast talk to ya all later. BYES

Welcome Back

Hi Everybody, I'm sorry I haven't written in so long I think thats how the last three posts have started but whatever. So here I'm going to try something new, as far as the blog goes I'm going to write a little at least a couple of times a week, here's the catch; it might not always be about weightloss but I just want to try to get into the routine of writing in here again. Also I am going to try to keep to workouts and diet stuff but here's the other part I'm hoping will keep me writing, I'm only focusing on writing maybe a paragraph to two each time I write.

So here's what has been going on with me, I have been super super busy I have recently started yet another job I am now working at Bob Evans, Panera Bread, and Lane Bryant this is all in addition to the paper route I do on the weekends with my dad so now people understand a little better why I have been M.I.A. so much lately. However I do need some encouragement to get to the gym more often you see it isn't just the blog I've been slacking at lately. I have only been getting to the gym about one to two times a week. In my defense I have also been trying to add a walk in in addition to the gym visits. I have a workout buddy now so workouts are good when I do go I just have to focus on getting there more often. It's really been bothering me that I haven't been on the track I was on before.


Also I auditioned to be on the Biggest Loser again. My mom and I went to an open casting call a couple of weeks ago. I really felt like it went really well but I didn't get a call back from my audition. Thats ok though I'm not letting it get me down I'm in the process of getting a snail mail audition tape and eleven page application out the door I just have two more questions to answer and need to get it in the mail :) wish me luck :) Also I have a friend I met at the BIggest lOser filming of this seasons premiere and he's on the brink of getting into season 11 we think so cross your fingers and say a prayer for him as well.

ONe last thing Season 10 of the BIGGEST LOSER starts September 21st this is the one I'm sure I'll be in lots cause I was at the challenge for the hope to be contestants I was right there with Ali and Bob along the whole thing and during the contestants weigh in I was standing right behind their families. SO PLEASE PLEASE WATCH AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ME!!!!!!!!! :D

Talk to you sooooooooon Bye
