Bear Lake

We were able to go to Bear Lake with my family and had a wonderful time until I saw some of the pictures of myself! UGH, no one should ever see me in a one piece with out a cover. Not sure what I was thinking. Well at least they are good motivation, right? That aside, it was a wonderful relaxing weekend and really enjoyed being with our kids, nieces and nephews.

We got rained on every afternoon but it was ok, we were already wet. But when the lightning and thunder came it was time to go back to the cabin.

The last day there was the best. Wonderful sunshine and clear water. We finally found the PERFECT beach. Unlike the one above, full of mud.

One of my daughters and I went out on the paddle board, that was really fun. I look a little scared.

Bear Lake it one of our favorite places to go.  We have a 5 hour drive there but totally worth it.

The first 20 lbs lost

I know I have a long way to go to get to my goal but 20 lb loss is a good start. Here's to a lot more work!

I HATE THE MIRROR!

As of June 12, 2013 I had lost my first 20 lbs. Then I went to a four day family reunion at Bear Lake and came home and had gained about 3 back!!! URG! For some reason when I look in the mirror this week I look and feel extra big. I forget that I HAVE lost weight. I think we get use to the way we are looking and then it isn't good enough any more. It sure makes this journey feel extra long.

I have started INSANITY workout with my husband. We are one week into it. I love it and hate it at the same time! It is so stinkin' hard. It helps that we do it together before bed every night. I hear about a lot of people that have tried this workout and gave up quickly. IT KICKS BUTT!! This is a 60 day program. I really hope I see some great results at the end of those 2 months. I need to start seeing results or it is discouraging!

Self Preception

I have realized lately that how I perceive myself is how my daughter have started perceiving their selves. I saw this on a craftyhealthymommy.com 

I really need to watch what I say about myself so that my girls don't say it too.
