CHANGE is the hardest part of LIVING

I will be the first to admit that taking on a new challenge to improve my body physically and emotionally has always been a huge uphill battle for me. I fight with myself on a daily basis when it comes to food. God blessed me with ghetto fabulous curves and a very slow metabolism. LOL
Thank god for my great teeth and hair right? :)
After a great but overwhelming week of journaling and counting everything that went into my mouth I wieghed in last night at my first wieght watchers meeting. With a best friend in tow I stepped on the scale.........................to see
3.4lbs down!!!!!

I only hope to continue the journey to my dream goal. My biggest addiction/struggle as we all know is Starbucks coffee. Like I tell my friends thank goodness I don't smoke and drink alcohol as well or my lifestyle would be really expensive. LOL The original drink I was getting is 13 points on the WW system (holy crapper). Sometimes I would get one twice a day. I assume since it tasted like cake it was likely to have the calories of a piece, right?! :(
I did my research and have tried numerous exchanges until.............. I finally(sigh-gasp) found a favorite...venti nonfat caramel cappuccino for 3 points. Very exciting.
Here is to another great week of going healthy......
Also a shout out to a couple other blogger friends YOU ARE AMAZING AS WELL!

It's a New Day

Tonight at 6pm I signed up to start taking back MY life and most of all MY body with the help of Weight Watchers. The new system is awesome, overwhelming but awesome!! Lucky for me I have a great cheerleader by my side. My first goal 11lbs. I can do this, I will do this and I will do it for me! Watch out world!!!

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn, a new day
a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Want to Hang on Wednesday

Just don't want to forget these moments. Your hand is so little in mine...for now. One day mine will be so little in yours young man. Mommy loves you Bubby

Dalton's First Overnight at Grandma's

Yes, Daddy and Mommy left you overnight for technically your first time. Your Aunt Ashley will argue the fact stating I left you all the time with her when you were a baby however, I am pretty sure I may have had postpartum cause I don't remember that and have had a huge grip on you since then :)
Well it was time for Mommy to suck it up and let you start staying overnight. We both did great. I didn't cry and neither did you. I think age four was a great time for both of us to start :)
You told Grandma that whatever you guys did at her house was to be a secret.
You slept on Pampa's side of the bed since he was out of town and then Pampa told you he was gonna start calling you Pampa.
You helped Grandma make cookies.
You packed EVERYTHING to bring over there, including a entire box of donuts for breakfast, a movie(smokey and the bandit), your jammies and some cars. Mommy also threw you in a Thomas toy surprise! I know Grandma really enjoyed you as much as you enjoyed the entire concept....thus begins many overnights ahead. :)

Monster Jam

WOW what an adventure us Wood's had today. With snow still on the ground yet 60 degrees outside we loaded up as a family and headed to Monster Jam at the Sprint Center. Wahooooo we were excited! I am almost 30 and I had a freakin blast, minus the fumes from the exhaust, other than that WooooooooHoooooooooo! It was awesome!!! Daddy and Dalton watch Monster Jam reruns daily on TV and little did we all know brother (Austin) was a secret huge fan of Grave Digger. Happy early Valentine's Day boys!

So many cute photo ops with my guys. I took 75 photos and about 15 videos!! It was a great time. Here is the arena before showtime.

Me and my without a doubt BOY

The beloved husband and Austin

LOVE THIS PICTURE

Austin being a HUGE FAN!

MY BOYS

Nobody is having any fun here ;)

The boys picked out these 20.00 plush Grave Diggers....again Happy Valentine's Day

Personally, I am a new turtle power fan but the boys LOVE this guy, heck the crowd LOVES this guy, meet GRAVE DIGGER!

Until next year.........

Cute??? Not at 2am!

Yes, I agree he is CUTE, sometimes too cute but there is absolutely no cuteness when this child gets up to pee at 2am and decides why not talk and bother mommy who has to work in the am regardless. Another great reminder as to why I only had one :) You know what's on my mind right now and since 2am.................................................COFFEE

Attempting to Catch Up...

Where in the heck have I been since Jan 20th, my last post? I will tell you...SNOWED IN for the majority. The snow is ridiculous here in KC. Last week we had 12-14inches not to mention the 4foot snow drifts. WOW! It's actually snowing right now as well :( This means I have been cooking, cleaning, shopping, gossiping, sleeping etc. WE NEED SPRING
Let me break down the madness for you:
Dalton is now a month into Martial Arts class the Mini Champs edition. So every Tues and Thursday Russ picks him up from daycare and takes him to the 4:10pm class. I hurry to leave work and meet him there. (separate blog will come on this, he is too cute)
The entire house got sick,it's like wildfire I tell ya!
Moose is 35lbs---4 months old.--totally house trained, kennel trained. He sits, shakes and plays dead! He is our bestest friend ever!
Dalton had his first overnight at Grandmas--(also another post)
I started making tutus and I think I may have something here. See me at Etsy.com (the badge is on my page)
So see life is crazy. I know I left things out like....PICTURES. I promise to return but holy smokes it's 10:40pm TO BED I GO :)
I will try again tomorrow!
