Goals

So my weight loss journey isn't going the way I had hoped it would and there a few things that have gotten in the way. 1) James leaving and being gone for 4 months 2) Zane deciding that naps are for sissies and he doesn't need them anymore 3) the fact that we are basically still in the middle of winter here in good old Portland, Oregon 4) I have just had the motivation to get myself up and start really working out. So this past week I decided that I was going to give myself an ultimatum: either lose the weight or be completely unhappy for the rest of my life. After I did that I decided it would be much more motivation for myself to get into the workout part of my weight loss journey if I gave myself smaller goals then to just look at it as losing 30 - 40 pounds! So I am breaking it up into 10 pound increments and when I reach that next 10 pound loss I will reward myself with something that I want each time. I know it sounds a little selfish but I really need this extra little push because I have a hard time making myself workout on a regular basis so I think if I have a small goal to reach I will work harder to get there so I can get whatever I choose it is I want after that 10 pounds is gone.for.good! (well until I get preggers again that is.) So for my first 10 pound weight loss goal I am thinking when I get there which I will be down to 147 pounds because I am at 157 now and I started at 167. I am think I will give/get myself a few new clothes items seeing as I will be down 20 pounds from where I began and I will need it. I think that is a good little incentive for myself to get there. It will probably end up being a really cute new dress and skirt and maybe a top or two. I am really going to do it this time because I need to be happy with myself again. I haven't liked the way I looked for a VERY, VERY long time and I don't want to feel that way anymore. So wish me luck on my new adventure into my weight loss journey!

Maybe a couple dresses like these:

Jessica Simpson

Banana Republic

Or a skirt like this:

Old Navy

Or some cute shirts like these:

GAP

Dreaming...

Right now I am dreaming of a white sandy beach in some very beautiful tropical place. Somewhere like this...

With a chair, umbrella, or hammock or maybe even all 3 would be great! To have a vacation to relax would be absolutely amazing... but I won't be doing that for about another year or so because of my husbands new position at work. No vacation time until we're done training. It's going to be really hard to wait but I will just have to make do with maybe a day trip to our cold beach here in Oregon.

Friday Finds

So I decided I would start a "Friday Finds" blog each week. This one kind of ended up as a ode to camera & gray "Friday Finds" it wasn't on purpose it just happened that way! But I am loving each of these things and desperately wishing that I could get each and every one of them!

SOURCE

Oh and I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE some photography classes so I would know how to use my Nikon camera James & I got for Christmas from my parents. I would love to take amazing pictures of my son and family moments. Maybe next term I can get into one at the community college near us. It would be fun and very informative at the same time. I have always wanted to take a photography class and now that I have a baby and a really good camera I really, really want to take one!

Outfit Inspirations - I broke down & bought one!

So I broke down and bought one of the outfits that I showed you on Friday! The casual outfit was just too cute and I had been eyeing those shoes for MONTHS & MONTHS! I actually only bought the sweater, shoes & scarf. I have the white t-shirt, a purse pretty much exactly like that that my hubby bought me a few years ago & it is actually from the Jessica Simpson line, earrings that are very similar that I got for free from my mom & I have a really cute watch from Coach that I got for my birthday a few years ago from my parents. So all I really needed were those 3 things! I ordered them all offline so I am awaiting their arrival and then I will model my outfit for you once I get them all! :) I am very excited.
