One Step At A Time...

when you are 1!

I have reach a hurdle in my weightloss journey. I am lacking motivation. I don't know what happened. I was doing so well with working out but now I just do not want to do it. I did my yoga tonight for the first time in days. Where did my motivation go? I know I can do this.

Look at those innocent ;) faces? I do declare that my babies are the most beautiful babies ever born. They are my gifts from God. I am lucky enough to be their Mama. I love you, Cohen and Liliana!

I am so over laundry! Everywhere I look, I find more!! It is breeding itself, I just know it! Then you take into consideration the sock monster that lives in the dryer! I have a basket full of unmatched, lonely socks! I can handle the folding part when I actually get a chance to sit down to do it. Putting it all away is a different story though. Someday though I will have my laundry machines on the main floor and life will be easier...right?

My new favorite site! http://www.vinegartips.com/Scripts/pageViewSec.asp?id=7 I have been using vinegar to clean for a while now. I have not found anything that cleans my floors better! I will be scouring this site now for more uses. On other topic, Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms of human babies and fur! It is a day late but better late than never! I just want to let my mom know how much I love and appericate all that she ( and my wonderful dad) do for me and my family. They have helped us so much even when they could not afford it. I am so glad that I know that I always have someone to talk to when I need help or advice. I love you both so much. It is because of you, that I am the person I have become. xoxo

Yesterday Pastor Rob talked a little bit about patience. He said we have become an instantous society. We want things now and do not like when we have to wait for them. In turn, we have become very impatient. This made me think about my kids and my patience levels with them. If they do not listen to me the very 1st time I talk, than I am ready to lose it! I feel like I have no patience when it come to the people that I love the most. I realized that I need to ask for help to help me to have patience with my kids and husband. I also realized that I need patience in terms of my weight loss journey. I get so upset that the weight is not coming off like I want it too. I need to remember that it is a long road and not a street. I need patience in order to keep on this road.
