Magical Times

Hello friends, I am sorry that it had been so long since I posted. It has been a crazy week. I celebrated the 4th with friends, had a weight-in, worked a lot (including a double), went to Disney, and had a fun Christmas in July day. Because of all this craziness and the necessity of sleep I haven't had much time to get far with my other goals. I know this is going on the second week of this. I am kind of disappointed in myself and am going to be trying extremely hard this coming week. I have however learned several things and have been working on changing some things within myself.


The 4th of July was so much fun. I did have to work but I got time and a half holla! Plus I only had to work till 5 so I got, off freshened up, and had some yummy BBQ. Then we watched first wives club. If you guys haven't seen it is a must. I love that movie. We ended the day with watching fireworks.

One of my friends Liz is moving back home to NY for at least 6 months and wanted to go to Disney before she left. So of course we went! I have been to Disney so many times in my life that I decided to spice it up a little by looking for hidden mickeys in the park. There are tons of them throughout the parks they can be in and on anything. For example in small world there was a key in the back of one of the animals that turns and the head of the key looks like mickey. I found several on this trip and was very excited.

Christmas in July was so much fun. My friend Jeremy and I watched A Muppet Christmas Carol. It is one of my favorite Christmas movies that I have to watch every year. Then we painted water colored Christmas pictures while having good conversation. I hung my picture on the fridge :)

I have been learning that when it comes to eating it is about balance. If you have a not so great day then try to balance is out by keeping it more under control the next day. If you know that you are going to have a busy day and will be burning more calories then you can afford to eat a little more if you want or need to. If you are out with friends or if you REALLY want something then don't always deny yourself. Just don't go overboard eat say two cookies instead of 4 or more.

I have learned that it is important to cherish the times with your friends. There are several lessons that you can learn from friends. I am all about conversations and so I love just talking with friends while hanging out. It is amazing how having a friend to talk to who will truly listen and really cares can help. The lessons you learn from friends can be more valuable then taking time to get other things you want to get done done.

Also another lesson that I have been learning and attempting to put into action is that sometimes you have to put yourself last. We all have selfish moments it bound to happen but I am coming to see that there are appropriate times to speak up and ask for what you want and times not to. I can be beneficial to put your wants aside sometimes. It can be hard to figure out when those times are appropriate though.

So for now I leave you with the challenge to do your best to live each moment in the moment.
