I work out : )

over the weekend, I had a little bit of a binge on junk food. Being at "Fiesta" Fest you kind of feel like you have to partake in "fiesta" foods : ) cotton candy, funnel cake, pancakes ( my school was trying to win the record for most pancakes flipped at an event- of course I could have done worse if I ate meat. Then I came home to CRASH really hard- walking around all day made me really sleepy. I woke up hungry and for some reason we decided pizza sounded AWESOME. We had not eaten pizza since February when we gave up cheese for lent. Jalapenos, Pineapple and Mushrooms was awesome.
Then Sunday I held an event at church and made some yummy dips, and not very many people showed up so I ended up eating some of that.

With all that said, I was pleasantly surprised to see a three pound loss on the scale Monday morning. Then I realized that I had worked out more last week than any other time before. Since I am a part of the running classes, I am following my homework guide. With that said, I better " run"out the door, I do not want to be late

Review: The Polygamist's Daughter

{necessary information} I received this book as a try-me from Tyndale Publishers and the opinions expressed in this blog are mine alone and not those of the author or publisher

{transparency} As I am writing this blog, it is #enditmovement (<---from the website):  "END IT is a Coalition of the leading organizations in the world in the fight for FREEDOM. Each of our amazing Coalition Partners are doing the work, on the ground, everyday, to bring AWARENESS, PREVENTION, RESCUE, and RESTORATION." As seen in the picture above, people wear a red x on their hand to raise awareness in daily life, and in sharing with social media circles. It was apropos that I finished this book ( it only took me two days) on the day of this movement. Anna speaks about the slavery she had to endure - child labor and seeing family members (without saying it) trafficked for the gains of her father. This is still happening in our own country. This is still happening in our backyards. 
SLAVERY IS STILL …

Life: Adoption, Foster Care and Us

Image
I was in middle school attending a party of sorts at my friend Olivia's house, but this story has nothing to do with her. I had met her brother Colin ( who looked different than Olivia) before but it had not clicked to me that they were not a mixed family household like mine (Dad from England, stepmom and stepbrother from Mexico, stepsister half Mexican and blonde hair blue eyed me). 
My Siblings and Me Incognito
I lived in a bubble where I had not had much interaction or talk about the word adoption other than the Summer Camp and Christian concert pleas to adopt a child monthly(which after this moment I had to drag myself away from each time because I wanted to adopt all the kids but didn't have income of my own at 14 ). That night my eyes, heart and mind were blown open to the world of adoption. I do not completely remember the details of the night, other than walking away with the desire and passion for adoption. In the same explosion of the heart, I felt like I was being lea…

Life: Weight

"Now that you are losing weight, you're actually looking pretty" "I will teach you how to cinch at the waist, for when you decide to finally lose weight"
Direct quotes I have been told over the past month. If you follow me on any form of social media, you know I am kicking butt and taking names to get the weight off. I have lost and kept off about 20 pounds since summer 2016 alone. My journey so far as lead to about 60 pounds. I am currently wearing a smaller size then I wore my senior year in high school ( when my husband and I started dating). I am not sharing this to get a "congrats" or "way to go" or brag on myself, I am sharing to share what changed for me.
I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I have struggled with my self image my entire life. I have heard comments like the ones above my entire life from people close to me.  My legit weight loss journey started in 2010- when we started the year by giving up something different…
