Movie Inspirations
I was thinking yesterday that there are some Books that just need to be made into movies that haven't been. So I decided I should compile a list. So here it is, I will add to it as time passes (don't worry).

...wow...
Wow, it has been a long time since I have been on here, sorry anyone who may still be trying to follow my blog. Life has been busy, as it always will be. We now have a new member in our family, Raina, our precious little girl that we adopted from Oregon Dog Rescue. She is one year old and keeps us busy. Additionally I have applied to a Masters Online Program for the Health Sciences and should know within the next few weeks if I was accepted. Seeing as I have been SO out of the loop in virtual life I am offering up a gift of restitution. I am holding a drawing through Rafflecopter for a Mary Kay Satin Hands Set retailed at $34 just check out this link: http://t.co/XaYcefZVLj to add your name to the hat!

Focus on Change
Wow, where has the time gone. I have been reading other blogs, I have been working on my diet, and even working on my physical activity since Christmas but it has been FOREVER since I have gotten on here and wrote anything. Apparently I am not a very good blogger, but I enjoy it and my stuff isn't too bad when I actually do it. (•‿•)
Well, I might as well start from the "beginning". I've realized that I have been totally focusing on results and not being the best at trying to change my actually habits and thoughts. I decided that this needed to change! I got on Facebook {don't we all anymore?} and I made a group of friends who I knew were also interested in getting healthier and losing weight. I try to post at least once a day some sort of inspirational photo, status, or combination there of to help not only them, but myself at making it through rough patches and to stay motivated. A friend introduced me to Biggest Loser online and they have little challenges and such that you do. It was here that I found an idea that I have taken on and am making a habit. Every time I go into a restroom I take the time to do 10 squats while I am there {do this inside the stall unless you want to look a little funny}. It has worked out great! I am looking at adding a new habit soon and have thought about doing 20 jumping jacks when I first get out of bed {or something like that, holler if you have any good ideas}. I have also really tried to focus on the foods that I eat, not only am I trying to eat fewer calories, but I am really honing in on good food choices and then I will later spend more time focusing in on the calorie intake versus usage. I am eating lest white carbohydrates and am trying to eat more whole grains. I have learned that I really enjoy quinoa, barley, and wheatberries when they are prepared properly.
I really feel good about what I have been doing and where these steps will take me. Still, my greatest downfall is still sweets!! I am consistently having urges to eat ice cream, chocolate, and desserts with fruits. I know that as I get stronger in the habits that I am currently working on and as I chip away at my desire for desserts that I will be able to achieve that which seems impossible now.
