Five on Friday!

I'm back with five on friday, haven't done in then a while. When you're done reading my five remember to go on over to The Good Life Blog and link up with us!!!

Here we go:

1. For the past 2 weeks I've been dealing with this huge painful lymph node on my neck....no idea what its from or if its going away....had it during my trip but I don't think it bothered me as much cause, well I was drinking a lot, lol. Finally sucked it up and went to the doctor yesterday and can you guess what I have? Never realized it was an actual thing that I have Cat Scratch Fever?! Doctor prescribed pain meds and I should be fine but totally random and weird right? And if you're asking I do have a cat....stupid cat!

2. I'm a big planner and I don't normally get into my personal life much but I get super excited planning parties! I almost went into business doing that....anyways, my little guy is turning 2 here in October and I am already planning the damn thing! Fire Truck theme is what we are going with...I mean, how cute is this?

My dude loves him some fire trucks! Plus, since I have the fire department hook up, the fire truck will be making an appearance!  (hubs is a firefighter, and yes, he's brought home the gear ;)

3.  Speaking of hot, it has been crazy hot here in the beautiful state of Florida. One of those states where it says its only going to be 85 or 90 too but it feels like 120 freaking degrees! So with that & the pain in my neck, the extra poundage I put on in Key West has been hard to shed . So I've been having to eat really well to make up for it, and proud to say that I'm already down 3 of those 5 pounds, woohoo!

4. I'm in a couple of fitness groups on Facebook and one of them, the other day, someone posted about how they give themselves incentive for losing the pounds and I thought it was a brilliant idea so I'm going to start doing it starting today! She has a jar and every pound that she loses she put $10 in it, so at the end of it all when she hits her goal, which my goal is 40 pounds to lose, you then take that money and go on a shopping spree. I I love this idea because of course in 40 pounds I'm going to need a new wardrobe and instead of worrying I'm not going to have the cash for it then, I'll just save up for it. So that'll give me $400 to go shopping with & I am super stoked!!! I'll be buying a lot of Kiki LaRue with that money, lol. It is true, you do you become sort of an addict with their stuff. Everything that I've purchased has fit me perfectly and I've had no problems. If you're not sure who they are head on over to Becca's shop and tell her I sent you. Right now she's having a huge warehouse clearance sale!

5. And last but not least, I was thinking about making a video of my workouts. I've had a couple requests but I'm not sure what the consensus is, so if you'd be interested in seeing a video of my workouts, whether it's my classes that I take or what I do at the gym on my own or even what I do at home,  let me know! Just leave me a comment below and I'll start working on the video for you guys. Also,  if there's ever a recipe you'd like me to try or skinny up let me know that too. I'm always willing to try new things and I love being in the kitchen.

Happy Friday everyone and make it a great weekend!

Five on Friday!

It's here again....Five on Friday. If you haven't linked up with The Good Life blog, every friday we come to you with 5 things we are into, liking, or plain just do just doing this week, so here we go.....

1. Catalyst from Advocare. I have to be honest, I had no idea what Amino Acids were....just new that it helped with muscle tone. So I bought them on a whim and a prayer and I am here to tell you, these pills are badass!!! I can see muscles where I didn't before. I feel like I have more energy...they are pretty terrific. And I looked up what Amino Acids are and they are proteins....so I'm guessing they are helping me add more of that to my diet without having to scarf down lbs of actual meat....

2. I love myself a funny saying on a tshirt...I have quite a few Nike ones...my fav is below...I feel like they shit talk without me having to do the talking, nice! You have any good ones?

3. Greg is back!!!! I know that means absolutely nothing to you out there but for me this is huge!!! He is my fav instructor, motivator and friend and he has been away on vacay for a million years 2 weeks. He left right after I got back from mine so it feels like an eternity. Got a good workout in yesterday...

4. Finally met Alyse my Advocare gal and she is the shit! She and her family were vacationing practically in my backyard so I had to jump in the car and head on over to meet her! If you need any information about the Advocare product line or just wanna ask questions about how she has the lost the lbs, just shoot her a question on fb.

5. I put up another giveaway this week with A Tad Monroe! First, let me say how awesome you are out there to turn this little ole' blog into 600 likes on fb! I just think its so amazing and to some that may not be a lot but I'm so excited to be so close to 1,000....so that's where the giveaway comes into play. Share my facebook with all your friends and with every new 100 likes, I will be giving you readers some fabulous jewelry! And we hit 1,000...who knows! If you can't wait till then, check out their Trunk Shows every tuesday eve....I have scored so many cute pieces....

So there you have it....my Five on Friday! Now head on over to The Good Life blog and link up! While your there, check out some of the other ladies on there....

Happy Friday! Make it a great weekend...do something that pushes you!

Five on Friday!

Most of you know I am on the Advocare 10 Day Cleanse. I just finished Day 5 so that'll be my #1 today!

1. Halfway through the cleanse! Wo-hoo! So I haven't eaten completely clean through this (damn it!) I tried but gave in to a few temptations. I didn't do this cleanse for weight loss, I did it to curb my sugar craving & clean my system from the vacay....and tmi, it def has been "cleaning the system" if you get my drift.

2. I had a awesome personal training session with my gal pal Dennelle. It was hard and I sweat and worked my ass off but it was great and I am quite sore today. I will be featuring her soon in the blog. She has lost over 70lbs and she is smokin!

3. The family and I got a cute little kitten. We had a dog, our 1st baby before we had the kids. He passed this last christmas and we miss him so. We had a long discussion about getting another pet but as a mom of 3 under 6, I couldn't handle another baby aka puppy so we went kitten...less work....hopefully

Meet Tigger!

4. Got me a massage today from a friend. I love having a friend that is also a masseuse....that's not the only reason I keep her around ;) Totally needed it after the crazy workout ↑

5. Signed up for my 7th 5k of the year. My resolution for 2013 was to do one every month. While I was on there, I signed up for one in Aug & Sept so I'm set for the next 3 months! I'm not a huge running fan, I'm really not the greatest runner either but 5k's work for me. Just the right length to keep me interested and determined.

Love the jewelry? There will be a giveaway soon for it!!! I am so exited!

Happy Friday!

Now go check out The Good Life Blog and her 5.

Five on Friday

I decided to link up with The Good Life Blog for the first time & do the Five on Friday! All you do is share 5 things about you or what your into...anything..... So here I go.....


1. I am at the beach today....and lovin it! It's gorgeous out here in sunny Florida.....jealous?

 2. Freakin out a bit! My birthday is literally 2 days a way...I'm not too scared about turning 30 as much as I am terrified what Attack will be like on sunday. I've been told I'm on stage for the whole class. To top that, my friends are taking me out saturday night so it should be interesting...

This was last year & 25lbs heavier

 3. I am loving me some vitamin water lately. Now, I know this has been out for a while but I've never had it. I did some major couponing a few weeks ago & scored 30 bottles for only $11...so I thought I might as well drink it...yeah its good!

4. Yesterday we celebrated my daughter's 6th birthday! My kiddos are so cute...I mean, come on! :)

5. I go on vacation in less than 2 weeks! I am so excited to get away....the family & I are headed to Ft. Lauderdale for a week....lounging by the pool, surprise airboat ride for the hubs on Father's Day *shhhh & a visit from my folks so maybe that means a date night for us...hmmmmm, better start buttering them up for that one ;)



 Well that's it for me today... Happy Friday!!!
