I would totally do weigh in Wednesday but.. I don't own a scale! My reason is I want to be more concerned with how I feel and look than how much I weigh. "Healthy is the new skinny!"
I do weigh myself if I am at someone's house who has a scale just because I can't stand not to. I still want to know if I have lost any,. But it's usually just 5 +/- so it's no fun anyways.
I dont want to be so focused on a number that I am doing unhealthy things. I want to recognize the changes in my body, and see and feel the results of a healthy lifestyle.
Since my pants are still giving me a muffin top and I refuse to buy new ones.. I am focusing on drinking more water and only water- hoping it will flush out some of this spare tire! My next post is going to be all about water :)

L❤ve story
So I started this post a few days ago and my phone died and deleted it! 😵😠😩
Let's try this again! It's going to be long...
So, in 8-9th grade AIM was the big thing. I talked to this guy SeXyShAnE123 (or something like that) -he had a bleach blonde bowl cut.. Gag!- My cousin and I went to watch him play football one day and I was supposed to meet up with him after the game but that never happened because my cousin started some drama with one of the cheerleaders.. Well, a few weeks later I moved and never talked to the guy again.
In my new town I dated a guy named Johnathon off and on for 5 years. We were engaged for a while and had a bad break up after I finished hair school. I decided to leave all the drama and move back to my home town.
After being back in town about a year and dating plenty of losers, I started working at the salon I went to growing up. The owners son hang around all the time and would bring his loser friends in all the time. One day Shane walked thru the door. -You know how they say when you know, you know? Well I knew!-
I tried to talk to him a few times and he wouldn't even look at me! I asked the salon owner about him and she told me he had a girlfriend and that I didn't have a chance with him because she was a model. -like the kind that plays Fiona from Shrek at Disney world? 😂- So I kinda left it alone until I heard they finally broke up. So the next time he came in for a haircut I told him some friends were going to see Little Big Town and I was the only one without a date and told him he should come. Well he came.... With a skank, I mean date!
I was so mad! Especially since every time I looked his way he was staring at me! He added me on Facebook a few days later and asked me on a date. We went to Applebee's and then to a friends house to watch American Idol lol.-lame!- The next week -jan 18, 2007- he asked me to be his girlfriend.
March 5, he piled up pillows and blankets in the bed of the truck and we parked out in the field so we could lay and look at the stars. He said "hey, you wanna marry me?" And put a ring on my finger. 😍
January 18, 2008, we got married!
After we had been married a few months I was playing on his old computer at his parents house. AIM popped up and I realized that I knew my husband a lot longer than I thought!
I have been happily married to Sexy Shane for 5 years now! We have been thru the Marine Corps, a miscarriage, and plenty of hard times, but we are blessed beyond measure. We are best friends and worst enemies. We make each other crazy and keep each other sane. We're complete opposites but we complete each other. He is a wonderful husband and a amazing father. I'm a lucky girl!

This is my lifffeeee
I have been in the worst of funks the past few weeks. Sick husband, sick kids, sick mama! I was too busy taking care of everyone else to get any rest and take care of myself... Such is life when your a mom. Not complaining.. it just took me a little longer to get back to 100%.
Now that I am feeling much better.. And not consumed with caring for a man child and two babies.. I am attempting to get back into routine. Except.. I don't have a routine. Yes, I know routine is very important for children. Do my kids have a routine, nope. Bed time? Nap time? Nope. Nothin.
My goal this week is to figure out a routine that works for us and start the adjustment of enforcing it. This should be interesting!
My two year old, Audrey, it the most stubborn child I have ever met. She has quite the personality. Yesterday she got in trouble. I fussed a her and she threw her little hands up and said "this it twazy!" And ran to her room and slammed the door! Yes, I said she is two, not fourteen! As if that wasn't bad enough.. She opens the door and yells "this is my life!". I couldn't help but bust out laughing. What does that even mean, and where did she hear it?
Ill never have to worry about her letting people walk all over her, she is too much like her mama already- tells you what she thinks. And she's such a diva!

Turdsday
I feel like a fat lazy turd today. It's 10:30 and I'm still in my Jammies watching jake and the never land pirates. I did do my fAB workout and fix breakfast so far but still.......
I was so excited Tuesday because I put on my new workout clothes and decided to go to the park with my mom and kids. I had it in my head that I was going to run around the lake while mom walked with the kids. This was going to be my first attempt at running since highschool track. So I started running.. And I started peeing! Haha just a little tinkle, I decided I better stop before I wet my pants! Thank you two big beautiful babies I birthed! So I guess I will be buying some poise pads before I try again. So sad. 25 years old and no bladder control.
At least I looked cute in my spandex!
Speaking of those big beautiful babies, my oldest (Audrey) is fully potty trained! Praise The Lord!! It's been a long time coming and I am so proud of her. She is even keeping a dry pull up over night! So she is having a "potty princess party" at cherry berry very soon. -fun fact about me, I can turn anything into a party-
Update- it really was a Turdsday! I did horrible with my eating. So bad that I ate something I NEVER eat. McDonald's. I only ate fries and a coke but how gross! I worked until 8:30 so we had sake for dinner, I ate every bite of my hibachi steak and half my fried rice. I just decided eating clean/no cheating could kiss it for the day. I even had a glass of wine before bed.

fABruary!
I started this blog a few months ago. It was originally a "how to" for parties, showers, weddings, sewing, photography and whatever else I like to do. Recently I have started attempting to meet some goals for my life and I decided to use this blog to document my progress instead of all the how to crap. (Ill still throw some in tho!)
I deleted all the how to mess and renamed the blog "By the Grace of God". I am a proud Christian. I know that if not for the grace of the good Lord I would not be where I am or who I am today. He has blessed me beyond anything I could ever deserve.
So, I guess I should begin by saying if you are looking for a well written blog with correct grammar, you can just keep looking. ✋Ain't nobody got time for that!
I am going to set my long term goal, and some monthly/mini goals.
My long term goal originally was to loose weight. Fast. I have realized lately that my goal is actually to just be HEALTHY! To exercise, eat right and just make healthy decisions. When I do that, the weight will take care of itself. I will feel good and make lifestyle changes that will stick. I want to be the woman God created me to be. I want to be a good example for my children, and a confident, attractive wife for my husband. And I wanna look good! 👙
My mini goal for this month is something my friends and I are doing. It's called fABruary! Or Fab Ab February. It's a daily challenge of sit ups, push ups, and plank. By feb 29 I should be able to easily do 100 sit ups, 25 push ups, and a 2 minute plank. I will have some FAB ABS! The other challenge we are doing is to eat clean, no cheating for the entire month of February. I might die. No chocolate, no alcohol, no nothing. My weight goal for the month of feb is 10 pounds. My spiritual goal is to do my devotion daily! I struggle with this, but my hubby got me a kindle for Christmas, i already downloaded a bible on it and I plan to find a good devotion and stick with it! I'm praying for motivation this month. I'm sure gonna need it!
I plan to post my progress weekly!
