Eating Clean...

You would be surprised at how not easy this is sometimes. Working in a restaurant, this is probably the hardest thing for me. The working out is easy but the eating clean is hard. I'm still amazed at how many people think they don't need a lifestyle change to lose weight or get in shape but it truly is changing your habits.

I saw a picture of myself today and it was of the day I graduated high school and WOW! I was thin! And then I thought I was fat. Funny! I started a program today through called Turbo Jam. It's a lot of fun and easy to do. I am so determined to get into the best shape I can be in. Through this program, I am signed up online through a place called

It's really helpful to me because I have my own online coach and a team of people who constantly encourage you every day. You can also schedule your workouts which I'm finding is really helping keep myself accountable. I actually have the opportunity to meet my online coach next month when I'm in AZ. She lives there!

I find that working out is helping vent my stress and along with pursuing the Lord, it's making me a happier person! I was at Fred Meyer last night and ran into 2 people I haven't seen in a very long time. It was fun catching up and talking about life and what's in store for the future! I might have a roommate already that wants to move with me!

I recently made some more changes in my life. I call 2010 the year of intense change for me in every sense of the word. I'm cutting out all negativity possible out of my life! Call me Ms. Positive cause why waste our energy on negativity. We can learn something from everything!

and life goes on...

Life has been really stressful lately... with work, family, and friendships.

I'm working on getting some consistent quiet time in my life. I have such an odd and abnormal schedule but I'm really working on it. I've been on and off my healthy bandwagon but I'm getting back on track this weekend. I'm leaving for AZ next month and just need to be consistent with food and exercise

Recently a very long and important friendship of mine came to a sorta a HAULT if you will. I get really frustrated with some people who claim to love the Lord and they overdo it, they throw things in your face in an overstuffing, uncomfortable, judging way. I know all I can do is continue to serve my life for the Lord and let Jesus deal with everyone.

I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with some of my best girl friends last night and had some awesome conversation with my girls! I really love my friends! They are always there for me and encourage me when I feel down in the dumps. What a blessing it is from God to have great friends like that.

I hate where I work but I'm only going to be around for another 8 months so I try to suck it up and just go in with a smile and do my job. I'm going to the mall tomorrow to see if I can pick up some extra hours and get some cards and debt paid off :)
