Weekly Goals Link Up

Let me just say I'm ready to get this weight off and keep it off for real! As I was blog stalking this weekend I saw a post by Skinny Hollie where she did mini challenges for herself where she went without something for 21 days. That totally clicked with me! 21 days!? - surely I can do this! So instead of weekly goals I have goals for the next 21 days!

Goal One:

  Absolutely NO real soda! If I drink soda it will be diet, but I will try to stick to water. 

Goal two:

  No Fast Food. For some reason this is so hard for me. I'm so used to eating this that sometimes I eat it without even thinking, but NOT for the next 21 days!!

Goal Three:

  I'm scared to even write this, since every time I have tried to do the 30 day challenge -- but my goal is to do the 30 day shred everyday for the next 21 days. I know that in order to work this into my schedule I will either have to do it in the morning (EARLY - like 4:30 am) or late at night after I'm already exhausted. It will be a HUGE sacrifice, but one that I need to make to jump start this weightloss process again. 

Go link up your goals and lets finish September strong!!

Five on Friday!

School is back in session and I have survived a whole two weeks!! Whoop Whoop!! Such sweet kiddos full of SOOO much energy!

Linking up for Five on Friday!

1. I'm in huge puffy heart love with this foundation! It's by Jane Iredale and I love it! I was worried since it is just a powder that it wouldn't cover, but it covers better than any other mineral foundation I have ever used. 

2. I'm loving that Walmart (yes I said Walmart) had all their maxi dresses on sale for $5. That is a freakin steal and I have NO problem wearing Walmart clothes, especially for $5! 

3. Did anyone catch the big Labor Day sale at the ZigZag Stripe!? Amazing!! I just got my order with these amazing new dresses! You must check them out! Sizes small-3x large! (P.S. I'm not getting paid to say that, I just love them!)

4. I loved this super short work week we had! I think every weekend should be a 3 day weekend! 

5. I'm in love with that fact I was raised in a small town. We had my grandpas visitation tonight and it was so nice to see everyone from my childhood. It is such a loving and caring community and in times of sorrow they really pull together and give each other support! Awesome feeling!!

Hope you all have a great weekend and I'll see you back here Monday for my weekly goals!!

So What Wednesday! -- A Little Late!

Linking up for So What Wednesday!! This is seriously one of my favorite link ups!

* So what if I bought stuff to make S'mores and then joined a DietBet. I guess I will really be testing my will power by not eating the delicious s'more! 

* So what if I have all my fall decorations out and fall scents in my scentsy. I know it's 90 degrees put, but doesn't it look so cozy and comfy!?

* So what if I'm a huge sucker for reality TV. Bravo is my favorite channel! They have all the best drama filled shows! LOVE!

* So what if I went way over on my budget this month. This whole Dave Ramsey thing is hard! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

* So what if I took away the Princesses paci over a week ago and all I want to do is give it back. She looks so grown up without it! I just want her to be little!! Lol

Hope y'all have a great short week!!  

Diet Bet Motivation

As I was catching up on blogs I came across Amber's talking about the Diet Bet she was joining along with Skinny Meg. I thought about it and then ate some chocolate. Then I weighed myself just for giggles and HOLY TOLITO!! I weigh A LOT! I knew I had gained some weight because my pants were getting tighter but I had no idea. That's when I realized this Diet Bet is exactly what I needed!

I must lose 9 pounds in the next 28 days to be able to split the pot! So here's my plan!

1. Eat within my calories everyday this week. I get 1500 so I need to make sure I don't go over that. 

2. Wear my fitbit tracker to keep track of my steps and make sure I get my 10,000 steps in a day. 

3. Drink water!!!

* So what if I'm too tired to stick to my cleaning plan. I mean who has time for a clean house anyway?! Not this chicka! Bring on the wine and bubble bath, because ain't nobody got time for cleaning. 

* So what if every time I watch Pretty Little Liars for days I feel like "A" is everywhere. Have I mentioned that I HATE being scared!? And seriously!? Ezra is A!? I can't wait till October!

* So what if I gave up on potty training until October. This summer was terrible and we are gone half the month of September. I will conquer this in October! 

* So what if one of my goals for next week, will be to go to bed before 9! Teaching is exhausting! Come try it out for a day if you don't believe me!
