Getting back into my cricut!

So glad I finally got my cricut back up and working. I had some issues with my design studio now working, it still will not download new cricut cartridges but I will get to that later. For now, I got a NEW cartridge from amazon the other day and it showed up yesterday which meant I went crazy last night instead of sleeping.

Look at all the cool orders I got done last night!

 My cousin over at http://sweetsouthernmel.blogspot.com/?m=0 asked me to help her out on a new project for her daughters room. I can not wait to see what she does with this. It should be amazing and it will add to Lanie's room perfectly. Love the quote too!

 This was done for a family member who is adding some life to a wall in her house. This will be the center point of the decor and she will be adding black and white pictures in frames around the name of her farm. I can not wait to see it done as well. I love starting a project for people and see how it ends up.

Car back window monogram for my favorite 16 year old. She just got her licence last week and along came the car :) So we have to dec it out for her. I love these letters as well.

By the way is the Calligraphy Collection cartirdge. It has 6 different fancy fonts and a lot of extra saying and decor items. Like "Merry Christmas" "Happy Birthday" "I love you" "Bride and Groom" 

It is a have to have for sure. I cant wait to get my next project. Maybe I should go buy wal-mart of the cake carries and totes and just start going crazy, wait I need more vinyl..... 

Headed out to see what I can get into HEHE! 

So I promised you guys some updated pictures of myself since I started working out. Well here they be....

Today with my comfy clothes on

Today just addede a OLD Navy work out sweat shirt cause they are the best thing since slice cheese, and its FALL outside!

So I have not put this picture and my older picture side by side yet  but I do know I have lost 3.5 inches off of my waist area.  So I know I am firming up for sure. Now out the door to the cheer gym, we are putting down a new competition spring floor today, WOHOO! AND  we have practice all evening! See ya'

Weight.... go away!

I have battled with my weight for years and years and hmmmmm years. I have never been "fit" but going through school I was very active and worked out when I could. Also in high school I was on the golf team which meant I had to walk anywhere from 4 to 9 holes a day, everyday after school. Then the craziest thing happened, I got pregnant and lost yes LOST 12 pounds during those 9 months. AND THEN... when I quit breast feeding the weight just started piling on. As fast as I could change clothes I was another size up. WOW... it was not good for me or my family, life or husband. 

Here is me before I started working out

So here I am 7 years into my marriage with a very active child and I decided about two months ago that I was going to take my already full crazy life and add in an hour workout everyday and not only that I have to drive 30 min to the gym and 30 min home. OMG! So here it goes... within the last 2 months I have learned a lot, sweated a lot but have yet pleased with my weight lose. I have lost 11 pounds which is great but I have changed my eating habits, exercise habits... blah blah blah! Well here is one lesson learned.... DO NOT USE just any "weight lose" drinks. After a month and a half of working with a trainer 3 days a week and doing hour cardio the other two days, I had only lost 2 pounds! 
WHAT THE HELL?
So during a frustrating work out and weigh in with my trainer I had to explain IN DETAIL, everything i eat everyday. "Mornings I start with a yogurt and then I come to the gym and work out and on my way home I drink my shakes...." He says "what shakes?" the p90x shakes, duh? Arent they like the best thing? WRONG! holy gez, after looking over the label with Mr.S I came to know I was taking in like 60 grams of sugar and like 80 of carbs! I shoudl have been gaining weight. Can you believe that? It is horrible! So I went on detox and more people should be do this detox more. I lost 7 pounds in one week. NO LIE! people with bug butts can not lie, if you dont believe me listen to the song. :) So even though I have a love/ hate relationship with Mr.S he is working his magic on me even though I have not came to really noticing it yet.  

More to come. Im going to TRY to add a photo a week and depending on my viewers, I will add my work outs, recipes, and the detox.
