Well hello there bloggers and....blogees???? lol Is that what you're called if you're an avid reader of blogs?
I know, I know....I've said "I'm back!" before and it never quite stuck....but really and truly...I am back this time for good. Well, at least for the next year. Yes, as you may have already guessed, this is a blog entry about....you guessed it....my goals for 2014. *Note: I used the term 'goals' instead of 'resolutions'* What I do - which I realize, may be different than others - is to make GOALS for the New Year and then seek to achieve those goals. Some goals may be extremely easy, while others may be extremely difficult. But reaching those extremely EASY goals seems to make me more motivated to attack those lofty, more difficult goals.
So, with all that being said: Here are my goals for 2014. (Not in any particular order of importance)
1. Lose 70lbs (Yes, this is one of those LOFTY, and more difficult goals. HOWEVER, I WILL accomplish it. 70lbs is what it would take for me to be at my ULTIMATE goal weight of 150lbs. I am determined to finally reach that goal. I do not care if it takes me until midnight on Dec. 31st 2014! I WILL do it. That's all there is to it).
2. Run two 5k's and two 10k's in the year 2014. (This is my attempt to get my running back up to par and to get myself worked up to a half marathon. Some of you - if you watch my YouTube videos - know that I have made a life goal of running a FULL marathon by the time I'm 30yrs old. This gives me about 3 years to work on this life goal. So, in 2014 this is how I will be working my way up to that goal).
3. Begin Schooling for my BA in Legal Studies. (This goal is an example of one of the easier, more readily attainable goals. I have already submitted my application and transcripts, now I'm just waiting to see if there is availability in the Spring Semester for me to begin, or if I'll have to wait until the Summer sessions begin. But still, it is important for me to obtain my BA and its something I want to begin doing THIS year).
4. Daily Meditation. (This one is also fairly simple. I remember taking a class in college - which was a bit of a blow off course - but in it, the professor taught the importance of meditation. And we even practiced meditation in the first 15 minutes of every class! Some of us just thought it was lame, but I have to admit that I began to look forward to those first 15minutes. So, I would like to begin daily meditation. I want to do it in the beginning of each day, but ultimately, as long as I can get in some meditation time before I go to sleep at night, I will consider that goal met).
And that's really it! I know, its not a very long list but I feel like if you make too many goals, you will forget about the ones that are REALLY important to you. And these few goals are the ones I'm most focused on accomplishing. I guess another goal is to continue with my Youtube videos which are mainly focused on weight loss. I really enjoyed sharing my life with others on Youtube and I found that my journey to health and fitness was really interesting/inspiring to many others who watched. So I'm starting that back up as well. I have been making videos for the past few months already and I want to keep that going.
In addition to my Youtube videos, I will also be blogging from time to time. I'm making it a goal to blog at least twice weekly, but I may blog more. My blogs will probably be mostly about weight loss and my efforts to get back to my healthy weight, but from time to time, I tend to ramble. So get ready for that. (haha).
Well, if you made it this far, I thank you. I wish you all a very happy, healthy, and successful New Year. Make it a GREAT year! I intend to.

Inspired
So.....its been quite a while since I graced this blog with my presence. And a lot has been going on in the life of Me. The most important thing that has happened is that I've found my 'Motivation Mojo' once again. Whew! Thank goodness! I thought it was lost forever. But no, it was just hidden under stress, baby blues, and a whole lot of bad eating habits.
First of all, we got sick. And by 'we' I mean the.entire.house. A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling pretty motivated on a Monday so I headed to the gym with my boys. I had a wonderful workout and was feeling great! I headed home and proceeded with a normal day. Rob (the husband) had to work all day and night so I was on my own with the boys. We went to a new produce store and walked around a bit, went to a cool $5 dollar fashions store that I found in my area and then headed back home. I started to feel a bit off in the late evening. When 9pm hit, I was hugging a toilet bowl. I proceeded to show that toilet bowl some real hugging love every hour on the hour for the rest of the night. On top of that, my oldest son (almost 4) came in to my room in the middle of the night in between my puking episodes and began puking himself. Then I found out in the morning via text messaging that my husband got sick at work as well that same night. Yes, you guessed it. The dreaded Stomach Flu was upon us. The puking (and other not-so-pleasant things) only lasted 24hours but after that my body felt like it had been run over by a truck! I think I slept for about 18 hours the following day. Then finally the baby got it. He was running a fever, vomiting, and had this very deep cough. The cough got worse and worse until it eventually landed us in the ER. My little man was diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection brought on by flu-like symptoms. He was immediately placed on antibiotics and I had to give him 5 breathing treatments a day for a week and a half.
SO......with alllllll THAT being said, we are FINALLY back in good health and I am able to take the baby out of the house as he is totally better. This means that I have been able to get back to my workouts. I got back in the gym on Monday and have been going faithfully once a day (its only been 3 days...does that qualify as 'faithfully'? haha). But more than that, I FEEL much better about things. And by things I mean, my body image, my health and my weight loss endeavors.
For a while since I had Jonah (that's my new little man's name), I have been feeling this pressure to be back to where I was before I got pregnant with him. And this pressure was (and still is) totally self imposed. I will be around other women who have children or who have just had a baby like me and I think, 'I need to get fit. I need to look good like them/better than them'. Ugh. WHY??? Why was I feeling like that?? It was like this nasty competitive mindset that was really starting to bring me down. I mean obviously, we're all different. Some women can have a baby and gain next to no weight and 2 weeks post partum they look bikini ready. Other women, like me, do not have that luxury. It takes much time and effort simply to be 'One-Piece Ready'. (lol I will NEVER be able to wear a 2-piece after these boys of mine. My stomach looks like a Texas Road Map of stretch marks. Oh well!) So the bottom line is, why was I allowing this negative self talk to get to me? Well, the truth is....its a lot harder to stop than you might think.
When you beat yourself up for as many years as I have, this negative self image is something that becomes a sort of security blanket. Never take a compliment, deflect them all with self deprecating humor. Always frown when looking in a full-body mirror. Always suck in your tummy and say to yourself, 'I wish I was thin' when looking in said full-body mirror. These were the things that some how, in a very weird way, comforted me for so long. So when someone tells me I need to do the opposite...??? Well, saying its a hard habit to break is an understatement. Its nearly impossible!
However, I'm doing my very best to turn down the negativity in my mind. I don't think it will ever go away completely, but what I do know is this: Every day that I stay on track; every day that I get in a good form of exercise; Every time I choose the healthier option....the easier and easier it becomes to be positive about myself and my goals.
And that's what its all about.
I'm back folks. I'm back.

Days of Rest (6&7/30)
Yes, I guess I missed a day, but it was intentional. Why? Because I made an intentional decision to take the day off on Thursday. It was my Valentine's Day gift to myself. We ordered pizza for dinner, Rob bought my favorite bottle of wine (of which, I had a couple glasses). I went to bed Thursday night without picking up or preparing for the next day. I just did NOTHING. And of course, I didn't go to the gym either.
Now, today- Friday- was a different story. Today was a very much unintended rest day...well, sort of rest, but not really. I got up today with every intention of hitting the gym, but when I looked at the clock, I was brought back to reality. I didn't get up until after 9am! My boys (BOTH of them) slept in! I'm so used to the baby monitor acting as my alarm clock and the baby waking up at around 5 or 6am and thats when I usually start my day. My ENTIRE schedule was kind of thrown out the window this morning. Plus, those two glasses (or so) of wine I had the night before didn't help either. AND I woke up to a house in chaos. I failed to notice how messy things really were when I went to bed the night before. It was just a MESS!
****For those of you that don't know, I'm kind of a clean freak.....sort of. I don't think its anything more than a normal person, but recently a friend of mine diagnosed me as a "Compulsive Cleaner" and...I think she may be right. I think I may have a problem here. haha******
So I started to clean up the mess and before I knew it, it was after 1pm! Then we had a doctor's appointment for Jonah which lasted FOREVER. The doctor's office was behind schedule today so we ended up waiting like an hour before we were seen and then it took even longer when we actually got seen because of a mix up about what shot it was that Jonah needed today. By the time we got out of there it was after 5pm! I got home, made dinner, ate, kept cleaning, and then looked up to see it was after 7! The kids area at the gym closes at 8pm on Fridays, so by the time I would get there, I would barely have 30minutes to work out. So, I decided that the gym wasn't a possibility today. HOWEVER, I feel like it was entirely a "rest day" because I was getting some pretty good physical activity in by cleaning the house. Moving furniture, sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, etc etc etc. Yeah...I think I did a minimum amount of physical activity today, but...it will have to do.
So there you have it, thats my coupla' days in a nutshell. I'm now sitting in front of the TV, half watching "Pretty Woman" and half typing this blog entry. I'm about ready to call it a night and get ready for a fun-filled day at the fair tomorrow. Well, hopefully....if its not too cold.
Goodnight!

Pushing (5/30)
So, I haven't made a video for my Youtube vlogging channel in over a week. Ugh! What is WRONG with me??? If I blog, I don't vlog. If I'm vlogging regularly, then I'm not blogging. What the hell??? I really need to get this all together. For real.
Anyway, I came on tonight to discuss what its like to truly PUSH yourself towards something. Tonight, I pushed myself. And it felt good in the end.
After cooking dinner and eating it, I had made the decision that I was going to sit around for a bit to let my food digest, then I was going to pack up the boys and head to the gym, with or without Rob. Then...I ended up taking a little cat nap, which was actually maybe only 20minutes long. I got up and laced up my gym shoes, then heard the distinct sound of rain coming down in buckets on my roof. Lord, if theres one thing I hate, its getting rained on. Seriously, its one of my biggest pet peeves. So I thought, 'oh well...guess I'll just wait an hour and see if it dies down or not...' and sure enough, it did! But the longer I was sitting there, the more and more I began to talk myself out of going. It was like this mental tug of war in my head - go...no don't go...yes! go!...no...let's not - I swear, I felt like Jan Brady in the Brady Bunch remake movie when she hears that psycho voice in her head. Yes, it was really that bad.
But before I knew it, I grabbed my water bottle and my purse, got Jeremiah's shoes on (the baby was fast asleep so I left him at home with Rob) and out the door we went. It was as if I just shut my mind off and let my body just go through the motions of getting us out the door. And ya know what? When I got to the gym, the work practically did itself. I really, really, REALLY didn't feel like working out tonight....but once my feet started to run on that treadmill....I just kept going and going, like the Energizer Bunny.
So for right now, I don't care that I haven't dropped 30lbs yet. I'm just happy that I'm finally turning a new leaf with my activity levels. I'm MAKING myself go to the gym, even when I don't want to. I'm PUSHING instead of giving in. If I just keep pushing, then I'll be at my goal before I know it. -And in that sense, weight loss is almost like an analogy for giving birth....hmmm....weird. -
Goodnight!

Inspired (4/30)
So, I posted this on my Facebook page earlier today...but something really inspired me today.
I was at the gym this morning - as usual - and I saw this man whom I've actually seen many times, but today I had the pleasure of working out next to him on a machine. This man is probably 60yrs old at the least and....he's blind.
Now, I've seen him before. He has this little headset that he wears when he's on a machine and it hooks up to what looks like an old school cassette player, but I'm guessing its a machine that hooks up to the workout machine that he's on and it tells him in audio how fast he's going or how long he's been working out for, or something like that. He also has his little walking stick and he uses it by placing it against a machine to feel if there is any vibration, if there is then he knows someone is using that machine, if there is no vibration, then he knows its free for him to use. I mean, I have really watching this man and...I'm amazed. I'm inspired. I'm just totally humbled.
Here we are - and I use the term "we" as a general term - anyway, here we are everyday coming up with every excuse under the sun as to why we can't find the time and/or ability to get up and get some exercise...and then...there's this blind man who can not only find the time to go, but does so every.single.day. I mean, if THAT doesn't wake you up, then what the f*ck will????
I have decided that whenever I feel like just skipping the gym because I'm being lazy and whiny and I just 'don't feel like it', I'm going to remind myself of this man. I'm going to sit here and think about how difficult it must be for him to get up and get out there everyday, yet...he does it!
So, yeah. Put that in your proverbial pipe and smoke it. If a 60yr old BLIND MAN can get out of the house once a day to workout, then YOU can surely make time for a 30minute walk around your neighborhood.
Goodnight.

Weigh In Tomorrow (3/30)
Yeah, I'm a little nervous. I always get myself a little worked up before a weigh in, especially when I'm apart of a challenge. Don't know what I'm talking about? Well, as some of you readers may know, I'm apart of the Youtube weight loss community. Yep. Thats right! Along with this amazingly riveting blog of mine - please note the sarcasm - I also make videos on my very own Youtube channel. And yes, you guessed it, these videos are about weight loss. Well, a few friends that I have made through "the tube" - as I like to call it - are hosting a Biggest Loser challenge and I am one of the competitors. Hey, laugh if you want, but I'm in the running to win $150 to a store of my choice. Hell yeah! I wanted in on this competition for sure. Well, that and I also needed something that would help to keep me focused and driven.
Well, I'm having a visit from "Aunt Flow" at the moment (side note: if you don't understand the "Aunt Flow" reference then google it, or look it up on urban dictionary....or...okay, I'll just tell you...I'm on my period!) and I'm worried that it might effect my weigh in in the morning. Lord, I hope not. I have been really good these past few days and exercising like crazy, so I hope it reflects on the scale in the morning. But, we'll see.
Other than that, everything was pretty great today. I went to the gym this morning and was going to go back tonight, but I admittedly got sidetracked with putting together a Valentine's Day gift for my Grandma, so the gym got put off. But I ate very well today and didn't even snack late at night! SUCCESS!!!
Now, I've just cleaned up the toys and prepared the baby's bottles for the night. Rob is already fast asleep and I need to hit the hay as well! Until tomorrow!
Goodnight.

Horrible Headache (3/30)
The title says it all. I have had a horrible headache pretty much all day and I can't figure out why. Am I properly hydrated? Yes. I drank a TON of water today not to mention a couple of small glasses of all natural fruit juices. I just cannot shake it. And no, I didn't take any medicine for it. I'm someone who does not like to take medications unless they are absolutely necessary. So, I'll just try to sleep it off tonight and see if it goes away. If I wake up and still have this nagging headache, then I'll take something for it.
So, it was a pretty good day for the family today and for my activity levels. We went to the YMCA as a family. The boys went into the play area while Rob and I headed for the fitness room. Our first stop? The treadmills. We ran for a total of about 35 minutes. I was very proud of myself because I ran for 27minutes straight without stopping, and at a pace that I have recently worked up to. When I first started running this time around, I was barely able to run for 2 minutes at a pace of 4.8mph. So I have been slowly and surely working my way up with speed drills and endurance running training. Today I did 27 minutes straight at 5.4mph! Now, back in the day I was running at about 6.0 to 6.2mph...on a good day I could even sustain 6.5mph! So, only being at 5.4 shows that I have a ways to go to get to where I was, but still, progress is being made. And thats the name of the game.
So, I'm going to cut this entry a little short tonight as I'm not feeling at my 100% best. But here's hoping for many more lengthy blogs in the near future.
