Where is that Damn Yellow Brick Road?

School and Dance, and Work.......Oh My!!!!!!!!!!

Kinda feels like I'm in the Land of Oz.... everything is topsy turvy. My lazy days have given way to sleep deprivation once again, stress of many kinds, and trying to maintain my marriage and my house in the midst of it.  And it's only been 2 weeks!  Oh, and I was asked to be in 2 different performances in June, which is fantastic, but means extra rehersals and now the stress of trying to lose this weight on top of everything else.  I know the universe is putting this out to see if I will finally stand up, and take care of my needs first for once.  Not stretching myself thin, trying to please everybody like I normally do.  I refuse to do a mediocre job at a bunch of things this time.  Dance is important becuase I need it to stay sane.  School is important because I don't want to have to pay back the GI Bill if I fail.  Babysitting is important because I truly do love all those kids, and the moms......but I think sometimes a couple forget that I have a life outside of taking care of their children.  So babysitting drops to the back of the pack, which makes me feel terrible, like I'm letting people down.  But then I have to remind myself that I have been struggling these past couple weeks just to get everything done, not getting done with homework until about 1am, then staying up until about 3am winding down from the adrenaline pumping to get me through studying.  Then my husband's alarm goes off at 4am lol.  Sigh.  Looking for the flying monkeys at this point.......oh! There goes one now!

It'll fall into place at some point, I know it will, but until then..........Anybody seen the Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion?  Cuz damn if I don't need to find the wizzard to get me back home, and quick!

Peace y'all

Shameless Plugging :)

So even though I have been fighting with my body breaking down on me, and having a horrible inability to lose weight right now I'm trying.  It's super frustrating to get on the scale one day and see that I've lost 4lbs then get on it the next day and see I've gained 2 or 3.  And all it makes me want to do is down gallons of ice cream (I did almost a 1/2 tonight).  But like I said I'm trying. 

So here are my shameless plugs.

I am in love with Shakeology!!! I hate, hate, HATE meal supplements and protein shakes and the like.  But this stuff is amazing! I got the vegan tropical strawberry and look forward to it every morning. And sometimes I have to force myself to not have one for dinner as well lol.  There's so many different recipes you can make with this stuff, my favorite is to mix almond milk and almond butter with it, it tastes like some kind of dessert :)  I have more energy, I feel lighter and except for the ice cream binge tonight which I am now regretting, my cravings have decreased which is wonderful.  I'm actually craving veggies and protein again and the small amount of carbs I have been eating during the day are becoming less frequent in craving.  I still get severe cravings at night, but have learned that's due to whatever is wrong with my thyroids, and not just a lack of will power.  Well worth the money in my eyes!

I ordered this stuff through Beachbody.com which is great. It's like one stop shopping as far as weight management goes.  None of the stuff is super hard core like the stuff my husband is doing at bodybuilding.com but they have every workout video from Insanity and P90X to Hip Hop Abs and Ballet Booty.  Yep, it's pretty diverse.  And there's a pretty decent community and they hook you up with a beachbody coach to help guide and inform you on your transformation.  (Note: My friend Gabriella Harrison is a beachbody coach and can be found either on facebook or the beachbody.com website)

So even though it sucks having such trouble losing weight I feel better that I'm at least making an effort....just hoping I'll actually see some results soon!

Try the Shakeology, full 30 day money back guarantee if you don't like it or don't see any results!  And look up Gabby while you're there and tell her I sent you!
