This is what makes me happy today :)

I love spring snow. It comes and it is enough to make a snow penguin or snow man or snow whatever you want and yet in a few days It will be gone! Today we (Meaning my two youngest children and myself) went out in the back yard and built a snow penguin. Why you may ask is it a penguin? Well I will tell you. My cousin in Texas asked if we would build her a snow penguin. I told her we would when we got some good snow......WELL Here it is!!! Have a Happy day!

I can choose to be happy

I have struggled with weight for 8 years. I gained nearly 100 pounds when I was pregnant with my oldest child. I have never since been able to lose it and I have felt like I am going to be this heavy for the rest of my life. However after venting with my trainer yesterday he told me something that will help me to do better. I KNOW I can lose this weight. I keep expecting it to come off and quickly but that isn't how it works. He told me that I need to be positive about getting healthy and do things that will benefit me. He said that I get too stressed over losing weight and getting healthy and that can keep me from losing the weight. It applies in my regular everyday life too. I am trying to move forward in my spiritual life as well and I can't because I am convinced that I will never be able to get there. I feel like I am stuck in a rut!

My trainer has no idea how much he helped me yesterday when he sat down with me and talked to me about my attitude towards my life. He helped me to realize that I need to be positive and I need to work hard but not TOO hard. It will come off. I will grow and learn.

I vow to be positive from here on out. I know that it is a process and I will probably have some days where Negative tries its best to get into my head but I will work hard to keep the negative thoughts away.

I can choose to be happy. I can choose to be positive, I can choose to move forward. Keep moving forward and Upward!

I CAN DO THIS!

Have a :0) Day!

There is a floor in this room!

Okay so it has obviously been a long time since I have seen the floor in my laundry room! It is there though! I finally got the energy up to get it done. For the longest time I just let things get messy and I didn't care. Lately I have wanted so badly to declutter my house and get things clean! Today was one of those days. I got my laundry room done and worked on the kitchen and wow, can I just say that besides this massive headache I have, I feel GREAT!!!

This is a good day for the M2B:)

Have a fabulous evening!

A week in review

I am horrible at this every day updating stuff! As if you couldn't tell, anyway here is an update on the M2B:).

March has been a pretty stressful month. I know it is only the 9th and we still have a lot to do and to learn. Things just don't seem to be going our way. Life seems to be going in a downward spiral. It is quite insane. Finding happiness is getting harder and harder to do. Last week was a week of sorrow and stress. I am thinking that there wasn't much that made me happy. There are a few little things that really helped though and so I will tell you about them now.

1. My husband has a job. It isn't really helping that he has not had a lot of work but he has a job and that is Awesome.

2. My friend (she knows who she is) made me laugh at the gym. That is hard to do when I am in my slump.

3. My physical trainer cares. I know he does. He really wants to help me and he is trying so hard to help me figure out what it is going to take to get some better results.

4. I was able to go watch my friends kids and I enjoyed it so much. I got to hold her little baby while he slept. I didn't want to give him back. It was so sweet. I needed that.

5. I got out of town! 4 days. I took the kids to see my Mom and her fiance, my brother, and My dad and his wife. It was lots of fun. It was a good break and I was able to relax for the first time in a VERY VERY Long time.

6. My oldest had her follow up appointment. We were given permission to play around with her meds to find a good combination so that she doesn't get so tired. They say if she goes another year and a half without any seizures they will try and take her off her meds. So here is hoping.

7. My family is awesome and they have done what they can to help us out this month and I am so grateful for them.

8. My 2 year old LOVES going grocery shopping! That is nice because she makes grocery shopping so much more bearable because I so DISLIKE it.

9. My kids are always so good about getting up and getting ready for school in the morning. It is a happy thing to not have to fight them each day.

10. WIC- withouth it we would have NO food.

11. Fake boo boo's. I know this one sounds so funny but my youngest is having bandaid issues lately. She wants them so bad and so she pretends to have boo boo's. SO FUNNY!

Okay okay, so as you can see I have many reasons to be Happy. I am lucky even with the trials we are enduring through to have such things to be happy about.

Hope you all enjoy your M2B:)!
