I think I found a workout buddy.
Being motivated to workout can be hard especially when the only person you have to motivate you is yourself. My roommate from years back just had a baby and is struggling to lose the extra pounds. She reached out to me today for help and that I will do. We live pretty close to each other so meeting up wouldn’t be a problem.

Benfits of getting up early
Woke up at 9AM and worked on my core as soon as I rised. Walked the dogs, did the laundry, picked up some groceries & did some light house cleaning.
Now excuses me while I enjoy the rest of the afternoon and evening to myself.

Relaxed Sunday
I have the apartment to myself. Mom and the boys came over to stay a few days during the beginning of the week and Honey had a the past two days off. So this alone time is definitely needed.
Cuddled up on the couch with my monsters and a cup green tea listening to music and updating my resume.
Being unemployed is getting old =/
Enjoy your Sunday guys

I bra shopped today. Went from a 42DD to a 36D. Soon I’ll be able to shop in the pretty bra section =)

Scary what’s in some items huh?
Definitely is, I’m so glad I stopped putting that toxic junk into my body.

Before I would just throw whatever seemed appealing into my cart. Now the nutritional facts and ingredients is what catches my eye.

I feel like I have been at my 160’s forever. I’m a little disappointed that the scale hasn’t budged this month and I take full blame for that. I can’t expect to eat whatever I want and not exercise and see results =/

Slowly but surely getting back on track.
Staying motivated to lose weight and exercise is tough but I’m glad I am always able to pick up where I left off when I find myself falling off the wagon.
