Hey all,

Sorry, I have been away for a while. I am just getting used to my new schedule. Many of you know that I am a stay at home mom and now I just started a new part-time job in the evenings and it is interesting and fun!! The best part is that it no sales at all!! Yipee!! All I do is data entry for Sears Holdings Corp. The challenges I am having is making sure I get my exercise in before or after work. It’s better if I do it before because once I get home at 9:00pm my mind is not even thinking about moving a muscle. lol. The other challenge is that this job rewards you with lot of sweet treats for a job well done and there is a breakroom with lots of treats, vending machines, and a open cafe too!!

Now I have been again at home for almost 4 years so I have to get used to that type of environment again. You maybe thinking why? You? Oh yeah me!! On Monday and Tuesday I was like a kid at a candy store. I snacked and snacked. Then wednesday morning I got the bad news from my scale to STOP THAT SNACKING!!! My scale was up 1.5 pounds as a result of my snacking. People it wasn’t small snacking. I had fries, cinnamon roll, snickers, chips, and candy both days. What was wrong with me?? I don’t know. It was just right in my face and easy to have right them and there.

So I got my butt together and came up with my plan to overcome thoses obstacles. You know it, BYOB!! (Bring your own bag!!) A bag of healthy snacks and dinners so that I can keep on track. So far it is working and the small gain is going away. Thank GOD!!!  Also, I met a few ladies that I will be working with that are watching their diets too so we help each other out and will continue too.

Now, I am very tired and I better get ready for bed. I really did workout today. I did 25 minutes of Tae Bo this afternoon will my little boy played with his train set and then he came in a finished the workout with me. He was sooo cute. He said I exercise!! Arman sweaty too, need to take a shower mommy. I love it!! Then when I got home tonight I did 20 more minute of step aerobics too. So, I am about to hit the showers and get ready for tomorrow. Arman and I will be most likely going to the park and I may take him to the pool too. We shall see.

Have a great eve,

Natasha

Hi my losin’ friends,

I know it is late today, but is never too late for some true heart warming motivation. I just could not rest tonight until I share this quote with you all.

Enjoy,

Natasha

“It takes a little courage, and a little self-control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal. It takes a great deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin. No matter what the battle, if you really want to win, there’s no easy path to glory. There is no road to fame. Life, however we may view it, Is no simple parlor game; But its prizes call for fighting, For endurance and for grit; For a rugged disposition that will not quit.”
