T25 Results

Hi guys!!!
I know it's been awhile since I've posted. I've been super busy with life. Just living. I've recently become a Beachbody Coach and have been doing my T25 every single day! It's been amazing, and I'm not in the last week of Beta. The results I've gotten so far are truly sensational! I can't even believe it! I never though I'd get my body back to the way it was before having a child, but now it's even better than it's ever been in my life.
Here- take a look and see for yourself!!

These pictures were taken in week 1, 5 and 7 of T25 Alpha and Beta and right now I'm in week 10. So, next week I will start the 4 week Gamma program!

I've honestly never stuck with any work out program this long and I've never given anything my all as I have this.

But the results speak for themselves and I couldn't be more happy and proud to be a Beachbody Coach!!

If you're interested in hearing more or have any questions on becoming a coach yourself, please please let me know!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I've been craving some bad bad chinese food....so for my birthday next week (while Chloe is a day care) Andy's taking the day off work with me and we're going to PF Changs! It's actually good Chinese, but Chinese nontheless!
• I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my friends baby boy so that I have a little squishy newborn to snuggle!!! I cannot wait! If she doesn't go into labor on her own, little Benjamin will be here tomorrow!!!
• We are counting down the days until March 18th for Andy to be done with School! It cannot come fast enough!
• I'm pretty sure our taxes are already spent. Credit cards, new pots and pants, and we need a new crock pot too....ours keeps on over cooking stuff...Booo!
• I'm happy about Chloe moving to the next room up at school because now they play REALLY hard, and that means she's REALLY tired by the time bed time gets here, and she doesn't fight it AT ALL! Amen to that!
• I was going to buy myself some TOMS on Zulily when they had them, but I only got Chloe a pair, so that means Mama gets the $10 ones from Dots...oh well....Chloe has better shoes then me, it's ok!
• I got another tattoo. It's a heart on the back of my ankle. And I already can't wait to get a matching one of the other ankle. Yep, it's happening.

• If I put that picture in there to make this post look longer. HA!

Head on over to Shannon's blog, check out her face lift (blog, not her face...LOL!) and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!

Fab Friday

It's been a few weeks since I've linked up with the Always Fabulous Laura from The Everyday Joys! She's amazing in every single way a blogger can be, and to top it all off, she's on my Scentsy team....(or shall I say, I'm on hers....lol) Anyways, here is my list of Fab things that are....well....Fab for me:

• Our Day Care Tuition goes down starting today! We prepay for the 2 weeks ahead, and Chloe starts room 6 on Monday, so today's Tuition payment is $470 instead of $570! Sucks that we have to start supplying them with diapers, but that's only until she is potty trained! Thank the dear lord!
• The scale has been fabulous for me this week...it actually hasn't moved up or down, and for me, that's a win! I don't care that I don't see it moving, as long as it's not going up, that works for me. I've been VERY VERY consistent with my tracking calories and I've been under, or over by very little for the past month! So that, for me is awesome!
• Only 5 more weeks until we go to Florida and I have pretty much everything Chloe and I need as far as warmer weather clothing goes! I am sooooo stoked! She's got a few new pairs of shorts, some summer dresses, and some amazingly cute pink canvas TOMS that I ordered from Zulily yesterday! I cannot wait to get them! I just hope they make it here before we leave.....
• My work girls are amazingly sweet in that they are all helping me meet my goals for Scentsy this month.....AND because they are ordering from me, I will be able to get some stock for my parties and order some of the scents that are being discontinued! I am Soooooo excited!
• And last but not least, and maybe possibly one of the best things, because it's the one happening the soonest.....tomorrow me and my girl Mallory are getting matching tattoos! Just little outlines of hearts on out ankles. I cannot wait! 
• Oh, and to top that off....My birthday is March 5th! YAY!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I didn't really like the 300 ab challenge when I did it before, because I'm not sure that I had great posture when I did it, but I think hubs and I are going to attempt it.
• I was going to start potty training last weekend, but didn't. I wasn't in the mood for it.
• I can't wait for this Saturday! I'm going to Spring Sprint in Lansing, and that means a WHOLE day away for Mama! I'm looking forward to it!
• I'm really having to think about things to say SO WHAT! to this week....
• I have spent a lot of money in the past 2 weeks because I know that we are getting our taxes back and I will just pay all my cards off at that time. Mama needs some clothes for Florida!
• I usually just put MMCH on when Chloe and I get home just so that I can get dinner started. I feel bad because I really want to spend that time with her, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
• When it's time to get up in the morning to work out at 5am, I always have a debate in my head....sometimes the bed wins.
• I almost didn't participate in SWW today only because Chloe was fighting bed time, and I knew that we wanted to do abs, and I just didn't think that I would have the time...but I MADE time. LOL!
• I would have felt left out of the loop if I didn't write this up and and link up!
• I kind of feel like a bad ass with my new hoop ring in my nose! But I love it!
• Me and my girl Mallory found a Groupon for $30 to get $60 worth of a tattoo....so we're getting little hearts on our ankles.
• I'm surprised at how many things I've been able to say SO WHAT! to this week :-) But I am done now.
• I have been warming my BBMB scent Sage and Sweet Grass in my Scentsy, and I'm in love. It's like the perfect green.....rain.....grass....spring time scent, and I love it. Spring is ALMOST here!
• I've already decided that I have an addiction to Scentsy, (obviously, since I sell it) but I'm really scared for when the new scents come out in March because that's just going to add about 15 more to my collection.......Oh Lord help me!

Head on over to Life After I "Dew" and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to!

Newest Ink

It's my birthday, and I cry if I want to. Cry if I want to, Cry if I want to...you would cry to if you got a Taaatttooooo too!!

Yep, you read that right. I got a tattoo yesterday! Take a look for yourself!

My good friend Melissa was soooo gracious as to come with me to get my tattoo, and we grabbed some lunch afterwards at Panera! We used to work together, and then she got pregnant, and left on Maternity leave, and then didn't come back. OH, The NERVE! How dare she leave me?! Lol!! Just kidding (kind of). But anyways, I love hanging out with her, and I am so happy she shared this special moment with me! Thanks girl!!!

My Ink

Since ya'll know pretty much everything else about me, I thought I would fancy you with a post about my tattoos. I have 4! One on my foot, (a frog) one on my back, (what they call a tramp stamp) one on my right ribs (my daughters name and birth date) and one on my left wrist. (3 7's for my wedding anniversary)
So, I will give you a little run down of how each one came to mind and became reality.
So first up...the frog on my left foot. My maiden name is Leap. So my family has an obsession with frogs. My sister got a tat on her foot of a lizard due to get childhood nickname being Lizard. My Dad gave us girls nicknames....she got the cute one. Mine is Worm. When I mentioned that I wanted to get a tattoo to represent my family, they all suggested a "cute worm" I said "NO WAY!!" Nothing about worms is cute!! NOTHING. So I figured I'd go the other way and get a Frog. It would represent my family, and I knew that I would be able to find something that looked good. So I came up with this: 

And the best part was....my brother did the tattoo. He's an AMAZING artist. Not paid, just as a hobby. And he actually dipped into tattooing for a little while, and just happened to have a tattoo gun. So one day, I went to his house, and left with a fresh piece of ink on my foot. I LOVE it!!
Next up would be my "tramp stamp" This one came before my frog. I got it when I was just 18 years old. Kind of a spir of the moment thing to kind of rebel against my parents. It was right after graduation and I had gotten $100 from a family friend as a gift, so I decided that was it. I was going to get my first tattoo! My Mom didn't believe that I would do it, and wasn't very happy when I came home inked up. LOL!!  So, here is the pic of that one: 

Done in a friends basement...he did tattoos with a gun and all...just not in a parlor. LOL!
Next up, my daughters name and birth date. I wanted to get something done special for her, and didn't really know how to do it. So I just decided it would be her name and birth date on my ribs. And it would be motivation for me to get skinny again!! I won't show it bare until next summer (hopefully about 20 lbs lighter) So this one was done on her 6 month "birthday". Hurt like a MoFO!! I wasn't expecting that...but I guess that's what I get for getting it on my ribs....OUCH!

And then, last but not least my wrist. This one is 3 7's in white ink on my left wrist. Nothing big, just very simple. I didn't want something that was going to be really out there, and I didn't want like black ink on my wrist. So white ink just seemed like the way to go. Took less them 5 minutes for the whole thing to be done, but it was the most painful 5 minutes of my life. Even worse then the one on my ribs I think. And that one only took like 25 minutes to complete. So, here is the wrist.

So, whatcha think?? Ya like? I do plan on getting more...next in line will probably be on the top of my right shoulder. It will be "I am who I am" in cursive writing. That will  be to represent me being adopted, and just to make it clear that no matter where I came from, who raised me, who gave birth to me, I will always be me....myself and true to me. I don't want to be that girl with tattoos all over...not that I don't think girls that have them are bad....I think that they look awesome. That just isn't me. Every one that I get will be hidden, and only visible when I want them to be.
