Happy Sunday to ya folks!
I hope everyone had a great weekend and a nice Sunday.
Prayers for Orlando. When will the violence end? So senseless, tragic, and just sad.
My boys were with their dad and I got some time to clean out, pack some stuff up, and sell some things! It was, overall, an accomplished weekend. I feel like the boys will be shocked when they come home to no dining room table, no shelves, and no dishes. Paper plates it is for the next few weeks.
I wanted to share my workout goals for the week. I'm not going to be too ambitious because when that happens...I fail. Or I hurt myself.
So with that being said .. here are my workout plans for the week:
Monday: Barre Code and Brawl (similar to a kickboxing .. you know.. jab, cross, jab, knee)
Tuesday: Barre Code
Wednesday: TBC (similar to a bootcamp with a little HIIT mixed in) and my personal trainer.
Thursday: Barre Code and Zumba (haven't done Zumba in a minute .. okay .. like thousands of minutes.
Friday: Barre Code and Turbo Kick (cannot wait for this.)
My new favorite class, High Fitness, won't be back in action until 6/21. This is a wonderful, fun, high energy cardio class.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

A Little Taste
Happy Memorial Day to You!
I hope you enjoyed your long weekend and we all remembered what the real celebration is for.
We had a good weekend.
Friday my boys wanted to go to a little "Friday Night Live" at the school so I dropped them off. I thought only one was going but they both ended up going. I then went to a girlfriend's house and got to spend time with her, her hubs, and both of her boys. One of which is a 13 month old flirt. He is too cute and I loved watching him smile and laugh. The cutest. I really love babies smiles when they only have a few teeth. It is the cutest thing.
I did the most fun workout on Saturday. I didn't die, thought I might, but I didn't. It was lots of high intensity and fun music. I will definitely be going back. :) After that, we headed to my parents for the night and stayed the night. I took the boys fishing (which was a fail) and then we went to dinner. We went to one place and my parents went to a different one.
Sunday, my mom made the best breakfast .. French toast .. and bacon .. lots and lots of bacon. We had a late lunch/early dinner and headed home for family movie night. "My Girl" it was. My boys liked it..I cried. Typical.
Today, I woke up to a scary text from one of my closest friends. She had to have emergency surgery and thankfully she is back home now and on the mend. But man, I was a mess. I love her like a sister. We then rushed back to meet some friends for a movie only to pull in and find out it was Sold Out. Fail!! We then came home and swam and laid by the pool. Pretty chill afternoon. I like it!
I hope everyone had wonderful weekend and got some rest and is ready for the week!
I have an appointment with my trainer Wednesday morning ... not sure what I'll fit in tomorrow...We have plans tomorrow evening. Can't wait to spend time with my ex-Stepson...though to me, he will always be my "son."

Currently ...
Feeling .... sad. We were supposed to make a trip to see my bestie and she is unfortunately, under the weather .. waaaaay under the weather. Her health is way more important so we will definitely be rescheduling.
Reading ... nothing ... I suck...I want to read more...It's always loud here. Dang boys..:) Wouldn't have it any other way. And by the time it's nighty night time ... well, duh, it's eyes shut!
Watching ... "How to be Single." I rented this the other night and have literally watched it 4 times. My rental is up in 3 hours. Boo.
Wanting ... a Massage! I have three free ones to use my June 5 .. pretty sure that isn't happening.
Working on ... blog posts .. thinking about what all I want to blog about until the adventures at the parentals begins.
Loving ... that there is only 3 1/2 more days of school. That is only 4 more lunches to make. YES!!
Hope everyone is having a great week. One more day. You got this!!

I'm Going Home
Wow .. once again it's been a while.
At the end of February, man, I got some pretty unexpected news. It rocked my world. All is well and back to normal and for that I am so thankful and grateful!! I've done a lot of soul searching the last few months.
Who am I?
What do I like and love to do?
What do I want to do?
How can I make a difference? Make a change?
What will make me happy?
Will I ever love myself?
I have put a lot of trust and faith in Him. I have not once questioned why things happen or happened. They just did. He knows why. He trusted that I would handle it. And, I did.
What now?
Well, like I said .. I've done a lot of looking at myself on the inside. I have made the decision to move back home. With my parents. For a few months. Max .. a year. There is a lot I want to accomplish in this time frame. I have a goal. A time limit. Nothing more.
My kids are excited. They think Gemms will be cooking them a huge breakfast every morning. Let's just be real .. all Grandmothers can cook, right?! And my mama's breakfast is no exception. None of her meals are. She is an uh-mazing cook!!! I keep telling her she needs to open up her own catering biz. She won't.
And guess what .. you guys (well, whoever reads) are coming along on this journey with me.
I will be posting about our move, how life is living with your folks is, workouts, what I'm doing back in the hometown, etc. I am excited. Nervous. The fear of the unknown is a scary thing. I really think this will be a good thing, a new beginning. Moving an hour away from a completely different city will be a change for us, especially my boys. They've always lived in the 'burbs. Now, it's more like a town. A small town. About 35k people. So, this move really will be a new beginning.
We will be moving in the next couple of months. We will slowly move things a little at a time.
Here's to next time. And I promise it won't be three months!

Happiness
Happy Sunday to You!
This post will be nothing about losing weight or eating healthy or working out. Instead, it's going to be more of a therapeutic outlet for me today. I would absolutely love feedback and suggestions...if anyone reads this...lol. And PS: it will probably be all over the place.
Since my divorce I have said, manytimes, "I don't even know who I am anymore." Fast forward almost 19 months later ... and that is still true today.
For a long time I had thought about making a list of all the things I want to do or would like to try. Call it my "divorce bucket list." I never have. Well...actually I did a couple months after but I wanted to do another one since time has past and well, let's be honest, I have done not one thing on that list.
I have been angy, sad, depressed these last few months. I told a girlfriend of mine, last week, that I have accepted that I am going to be single forever and I am okay with that. She told me something that really resonated with me. She said, "you just have to really love yourself before you will find love again." Boom...she nailed it. And that got me thinking, how do I love myself. What do I even want to do or enjoy doing or love doing? What makes me, me? What do people love about me? So I pondered over that the rest of the weekend.
Then ... last Sunday (Valentine's Day) me and my sister went to see How to be Single. I freaking loved that movie. It was the perfect movie at the perfect time for me. I laughed, I cried, and it taught me to look at being single different. It taught me to embrace singlehood and take this time to rediscover myself, who I am, and what I want out of this life. I knew I wanted to see it again.
And first, I wanted to write all of it down. And I did just that. It is a continuous list, as I think of something I want to do or try or learn. There is no time limit on my list.
Not only am I a single woman but I am also a single mom. And as a single mom, this presents me with .... challenges, per say. It is challenging to fit in workouts and me time between working a full time job and shuttling boys around to practices and games and birthday parties and wherever else they need to be.
Thankfully, they are with their father on his weekends so that gives me time to do what I need to do which is clean the house, do laundry, games, grocery store, and then rest from the week prior. What single mom has time to actually enjoy time for her? Well, this one. I am going to make me a priority from now on.
I want to learn to play tennis...I want to take a cooking class...I want to teach Cize...I want to smile more...I want to be happy everyday...and most importanlty, I want to love myself.

I am super excited to link up for the first time ever with Christy @ planestrainsandrunningshoes. I have been following her for a while and I just love her blog. I have a sister who lives in DC so I enjoy telling her all about Christy's adventures she does in the Capitol.
Feeling ... Great!!
Reading ... "The Luckiest Girl Alive" by Jessica Knoll. Let me correct myself ... I am about 4 pages in because I always start reading at the skatepark or soccer and well, let's be honest. I get distracted. It seems like a really good book and I will be done with it before month end! Boom
Watching ... I am actually watching nothing...I do not have time to watch tv. I am seriously thinking of canceling my cable and just keeping netflix. However, I did binge watch Season 1 of Younger. Is anyone watching this..I love it!
Thinking about ... Summer vacation.
Wanting ... It to be Spring.
Annoyed ... Workouts .. they are sucking this week! I have only managed to do Cize. I got stood up my trainer yesterday...boo! We are a go for tomorrow at 9:00 AM sharp!
Drinking ... Water of course. And it tastes so much better out of this cute little water bottle.
Excited ... for our 3 day weekend! No school or work Monday!! Whoop Whoop!!
Loving ... This awesome weather in Texas today!! I'm not mad about! 70 and Sunny!
Have a good day!!

Old Habits Die Hard
Or that's what appears to be happening.
I sound like a broken record. I will blog more. I will blog more. It is sort of a therapeutic outlet form me. So why can't I just DO IT?!
What am I doing??
Not sure anyone really reads this .. but I am .. working full time. Being a single mommy. Which, PS: Is my favorite thing to do (not the single part.) Shuttling my boys to wherever they need to go. Trying to keep my house cleaned...PS: this is hard. Way, way hard. And trying to get this body in shape! I have goals and I am working on those.
I plan on taking my kids on a big trip ... for them anyways ... this summer. They are stoked! I am stoked. And I am so blessed I am able to take them on a trip like this as a single mom and doing it all by myself.
What do my workouts consist of ??
Currently:
Typically, MWF - personal trainer
This is changing this week to:
MWF - personal trainer and CIZE - My true love!! Have you done this? I have big plans for this.
TR / R - The Barre Code - My second love!!
....aaaaaand when I am feeling extra ambitious ... I hope to run / walk 6 days a week ...
I have a little goal (which I dislike putting out there) to run a half by the end of the year. Obviously, I need to be running more than 2 miles but ... baby steps folks, baby steps!
I hope to provide a weekly update on Sunday evenings as to what am I doing for the week. I feel as though this would hold me accountable .. to write...
What am I eating??
How about ... what am I not eating!! This is my biggest struggle. And after I workout .. guess what .. I am starving!! Does this happen to anyone else??? It is so annoying.
Personal Life??
Well, thank goodness I have awesome kids, an even more awesome family, and awesome friends. And when I'm not hanging out with awesome people, I am usually watching the Hallmark Channel. I absolutely love this channel. Especially at Christmas! I'm not dating because... well... I don't have the time or the energy. I figured that what is meant to be and when is out of my control and I am perfectly happy doing me, focusing on my kids, and better myself for them.
Hope ya'll have a great Tuesday!!
