Move your body!

Speaking of Beyoncé, I love love love that she is supporting Michelle Obama in her efforts to stop childhood obesity. What better way is there to exercise then shaking it like Beyoncé? Sign me up. I'm going to ATTEMPT to learn these moves but we'll see how that goes.

Oh motivation, where are you?!

My weight has been a constant struggle for me ever since the 3rd grade. I always joke and say my weight gain was due to my introduction to REAL bacon, (We ate turkey bacon up till this point because my Uncle Jihad lived with us and he was a Muslim) but looking back, I think it was actually the split between my mom and dad.

Diet and working out have never really been my friend. Like most other people I say that I'm going to diet or work out then I see some chocolate or smell yummy Chinese food.

I'd like to think that now that I'm in my 20's I have a new mind set. I'm a mom! This really is something I thought I never could do and it is an inspiration to push me to achieve all my goals. So now I'm going to dig extra deep and work on losing weight and gaining a healthier diet.


So here, on my always truthful blog I'm going to make some diet and exercise goals.

1. Cut out as much carbs as I can. CARBS ARE MY ENEMY! Maybe if I say that enough it will come true, haha. They are my biggest weak spot, I looove them, but now it's time to say goodbye.

2. Walk at least 15 minutes each day. This one is a toughie for me because of baby Bryce. Jesse is good with baby but he needs breaks more than I do. I am dedicated to at least get my 15 minutes.

3. Start going to the gym next month. This one is going to be a stretch, but I'm feeling hopeful.

 My inspiration.

Any tips, suggestions and support will be greatly appreciated!

Music Monday!

It was so relaxing to wake up this morning and be with Bryce.

Here are some songs I'm finding addictive.

I seriously can't get over Beyoncé!

She is my body inspiration.

For some reason my weirdo brain was getting Radiohead and Audioslave confused. Lame I know. So Jesse set my straight last night, by showing me the clear differences. Now I can't get enough of his voice.

Even though this song is EVERYWHERE! I still love Adele. She has a magical voice, gets me everytime.

Andddd, I have to leave you all with some Foo Fighters. This is my favorite song off of Echoes, Patience, Silence and Grace.

In completely unrelated news, it's our anniversary tomorrow! I'm very excited for whatever Jesse has in store for me. 

I hope everyone's Monday was as musical as mine.
