motivation!?

Last year I spent so much time focused solely on my husband and our home, and whatever plans I had with him, our family and friends coming up. I had no focus on myself at all. None. I rarely went to the store to buy ME anything. And, unfortunately I completely lost focus on my body. I would notice I put on a couple pounds and in my mind I would say "I'll go to the gym later". Later never came last year. Like ever.

Sure I went to the gym a couple times with my husband, because I was at the stage in my  relationship where I didn't want to do anything without him. Or when I had days off and he was at work I would go to the gym for an hour, if even. I would go through stages where I told myself I loved my "curves", but get real Summer, curves and rolls are different.

I even wrote a post sometime at the end of last year when I got a wild hair up my a$% for about 20 seconds about wanting to lose weight. It didn't last, of course.

So here I am, week two of having unexplained motivation that I am just loving right now. I just have to focus on myself for a little while, too. I mean there are ladies out there with full time jobs, a husband, and two kids that look better than I ever have. If they can do it, I sure as hell can. Right?

Not let me tell you, I am scared to lose this motivation. I worked out on Monday, pretty hard then tanned, and my doctor told me I cannot do that again until after my egg retrieval. No strain to my lower belly. She said I can do light walking.  So last night my husband and  I walked 2.5 miles around the neighborhood. Is that light walking?

So here I am, with all of this motivation bottled up inside me to move around and make a difference to my body, and I can't for another week and a half. So I am hoping that this motivation that I struggle with so much, is NOT just because of the hormones I have been injecting to my butt every night. I hope they are true, and they stick around.

I wonder if this a journey I am about to take with myself, or just smoke I am blowing?

Another perfect weekend!

After my husband got off work Friday evening I pretty much begged him to go to the mall so I could buy the sunglasses that he already said he would buy me {it comes out of the same account though, so?} He finally agreed after I said we can get food after, and I would be very quick in the store! 

I bought the Daisy Chain Oakley's in gold! I love them, and promise to take very good care of them!

We went to Claim Jumpers for dinner. I love this place! I got a 7oz steak, and hubby got steak and shrimp! It was so good!

Saturday morning we got up around 7:15ish because I had a blood draw and Austin said he would take me since he never goes to the appointments with me. After the blood draw we took some boxes to my parents house, and grabbed lunch.

We hung out at the house for a little bit, and I decided to go to the gym while Austin played video games. I ended up working out, coming home, renewing my tan membership, tanning, and then cleaning the whole house. It doesn't sound like much of a day, but honestly it was relaxing and perfect. We rarely spend our whole day at the house, so I actually liked it.

Body Heat is the only place I will tan in Vegas!

Sunday morning around 9:30 am our new couch came! It's beautiful! At first we thought it was going to be too big. We ended up having to move the console to the other side of the L so that there was more room on the other side of the couch to walk! It is a huge and comfortable couch! I am so happy with our decision.

Around 10:30 am our friend Lilly came over to do magic to my hair, with a gift in hand. A perfect throw Mr. & Mrs. Throw pillow! She has no idea how much I love this little thing!

She added some blonde highlights to my hair! They are very subtle, and beautiful! I have never had my hair done, and liked it this much! She is amazing at her job, and if you are in Vegas, and need your hair done, let me know. I think next week we are going to add a lot more blonde, I am excited!

Sunday evening we had our parents over for Carne Asada. I think everyone just wanted to come over to check out the new couch. I love Mexican nights, and oh my god, dinner was so good! I love spending time with our families. We are truly blessed with a warm home full of love! I love every minute of my life with these people!
