I was thinking of trying different work outs I'm seeing on pinterest and sharing my thoughts. Let's call it Working It on Wednesday!! Today's work out is...<br />

Over all this is a good little work out. I wouldn't use it as a main workout but a little bit of one is better than none! I might use this on days where I KNOW I was LAZY at the gym or to wake up a bit more in the morning. </div>

The hardest part of this journey was beginning. The heart wrenching part was stepping on the scale and seeing my weight in a public setting. I watched the arm going around and bounce in an area that was shocking.. <br /><br /> I have never ever shared my weight with anyone beyond my doctor. I dated my exboyfriend for YEARS and he never knew. I am going to share it with my readers.<br /><br /> When I started this, I weighed 284 pounds and I am 5' 5". That is technically, morbid obesity. I wasn't even that heavy when I was 9 months pregnant. I pretty much burst into tears. <br />
<br />
Seriously, guess how much Green Bay's quarterback Aaron Rodgers weighs?<br />

<small><span style="font-size: small;">The 6'2" quarterback weighs in at 225 pounds. I weighed more than him.. That was SHAMEFUL. Since that day I have lost 19 lbs by cutting calories and carbs as well as increasing my activity level and lifting weights. I might not seems like much but its a big success to me and that time on the scale my tears were joyful.</span></small></div>

In January, like many people I thought, " hey, I need to get into shape.." Then finally on February 9th, I did something about it. I walked into a gym and joined. It was terrifying. Exciting too. I started going to work out on my lunch breaks and eating better. I feel sooo much better than I did before. I've lost 19 pounds so far.<br /><br />I have a big goal to reach. I'm hoping to blog at least once a week to publicly share my successes and set backs and maybe I can inspire someone else. <br />

It's been almost a year since I left the blogging world. I briefly attempted to start a new blog but I figured I'd come back home like a good long lost daughter. <br /><br />My life has changed a bit and my blog will reflect that. I'm now a single mom who is struggling with making a lifestyle change to be healthier and lose weight. <br /><br />I have missed blogging and reading my friends blogs. <br /><br /><br /><br />It's good to be back! :) <br /><img align="right" src="http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l125/SweetJennaBaby/jenna2-1.png" style="border: 0px currentColor;" /><br />

I have had a upheaval in my personal life and I'm just trying to get through it. C and I have ended our relationship of almost 5 years. It's been hard. What's harder is that I am the bad guy. I'm not going to be very open about this but there it is. It's over. I'm a 30 year old single mother. This is so not where I thought I'd be. This are the card I've been handed and I'll do my best to play them well. <br />
<br />
I hope everyone will understand my absence. I will hopefully be back to blogging soon but right now I don't have it in me. <br />

I have no idea what happened to my blog swap post I wrote it last night and schedule it to be up by 2pm today! It disappeared! Here I go again!<br />
<br />
<br />

I have now participated in my very first blog swap! I do believe it was a success! I had sooo much fun picking out gifts for Jessica at <a href="http://lildavismichael.blogspot.com/2012/02/seriously-impulsvie-blog-swap-vlog.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MommysSippyCup+%28Mommy%27s+Sippy+Cup%29">Mommy's Sippy Cup</a>. <br />
I must say I LOVED my gifts! Jessica gave me a beautiful blue scarf that I wore to work today! I also receive a Real Simple magazine which I love because I never buy mags for myself. She also gave me some yummy chocolate covered pretzels! The pretzels disappeared VERY quickly. I MAY have eaten them for a super healthy breakfast….<br />
I think my favorite gift is the wooden painted sign Jessica got me. I hung it up the second it was out of the box! <br />

I know her in real life and she is awesome.(yes, I am name dropping, thank you very much). This is co-hosted by </span><a href="http://www.cherishedbliss.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ashley @ Cherished Bliss</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. I don't know her in real life but her blog is great! </span><br />
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I almost never agree to things blindly but when Janette asked if I wanted to be a part of this I was all like "Yo! Sign me up! I am so down.." or something like that! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Janette walked up to me with a Hello Kitty bag that contained my </span><a href="http://www.pickyourplum.com/?a=18145" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pick Your Plum</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> package.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was nervous and excited. What is it?! * prayed of God don't let it be something that needs sewing skills.*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I waited until she was gone to open it. I didn't want her to see the look of panic! I'm not THAT creative of a person. I just get lucky and sometimes I make something very pretty. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

Ten Things To Smile about on Talk To Us Tuesday!!1<br />
<br />
1. We took Monkey to the ENT today and his hearing is now perfectly normal! He passed their little test with FLYING colors and Dr. Awesome was very impressed that my 2 and a half year old can spell his name! :) It's adorable. I should post a vid of it for ya'll.<br />
<br />
2. C is actually getting me a Valentine's Day gift without me picking it out with him at the store this year. He was sooo cute this morning when he asked me a million questions because he wants to do a good job. ** I am still a bit bummed that he refuses to get me flowers because they die. <br />
<br />
3. C actually watched a full episode of The Big Bang Theory with me. He hated it. He can't stand Sheldon but he tried so that counts.<br />
<br />
4. I found out my favorite perfume has been discontinued BUT my bestie has a bottle to give me because it doesn't smell right on her. So yay for me.. <br />
<br />
5.I am super excited and SUPER NERVOUS about tomorrow Pick Your Plum Challenge link up. Even more nervous because I know some creative ladies had the same package as I do. <br />
<br />
6. I am happy about doing more with my blog. I'll be trying to update the look soon and I MIGHT be going to the blog confernce in Sept.<br />
<br />
7. C and I filed our taxes and I will be getting my driver's license back and be getting a car!! <br />
<br />
8. Having little conversations with my kiddo makes me so happy. I love that he can now tell me he played blocks and colored at school. It's soo cool! <br />
<br />
9. It makes me smile that C supports all the nutty little things I latch onto.. like this blog. :) <br />
<br />
10. My readers make me smile. Your comments, emails and just the fact that someone is reading my drivel makes my day. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Okay, not really but I've got a fever. BABY FEVER. Ugh! I miss being pregnant.(not to mention how fun getting preggers is!) I miss having a little teeny baby.<br />
<br />
It's so hard to avoid the fever too when I'm surrounded by some of the cutest babies/toddlers in the world at my job. <br />
<br />
I have two family memembers that are expecting and I'm kind of jealous. C and I aren't in a postition to have another baby this year. We're going to aim for next year though!!! If I don't get pregnant in 2013, I'm done. So I guess everyone cross your fingers for me! I'm hoping to have a little redheaded pistol running around someday. :)<br />
<br />
So how about a little hair of the dog? Look at all this cute little ones and cute things for little ones I've found on pinterest! <br />
<br />

Everyday my little man gets closer to being 3.Everyday he becomes less my little baby and more the big boy he will be. Everyday when I hug him close I try to memorize that hug, that moment, knowing that before I know it he won't want to hug me in front of his friends and will stop running to me.I hope that day is far far away.<br />

I did the writing prompt a bit differently than suggested and just shared some about my pets.<br />

This won't surprise most of you but I am an animal person. I've always had dogs, cats or birds growing up. I even had hermit crabs! Right now, I have two dogs and I'd really like another or maybe a hamster or a hedgehog. If I were single and without a kiddo, I could be an animal hoarder. Seriously. **nah, I couldn't MAYBE a crazy cat lady**<br />
<br />
My first dog was a cocker spaniel named Sandy. Sandy should have been named Satan or something of that vein. I was no older than three when she bit me square on the nose. I'm pretty sure she dd some permant damage,altought no one agree with me. I just know that THAT'S why my glasses sit crookedly on my face. Sandy <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Then my sister and I fell in love with my Aunt's cockatiel . Somehow, we ended up with parakeets. (Note to my parents, you weren't folling anyone with a parakeet. A parakeet is NOTHING like a cockatiel.) </div>

My family briefly lived in the sticks when I was 9ish. We lived next door to my aunt, uncle and cousin. </div>
I loved it. *Go figure* My cousin Becca and I would take long rambling walks in the "woods" behind our homes. We stubbled across a puppy one day. I was so exciting I carried the puppy to the woodline and then had it follow us to my home. I told my parents it followed me home and I begged to keep it. Two days later, it had destoryed the house and killed 2 of my uncles prize chicken. Starr as I named him/her was a COYOTE puppy! Needless to say, we let Starr back into the wild. Can you blame me though?!? Coyote pups are sooo cute.<img alt="" class="uh_hi" data-height="225" data-width="225" height="225" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSg--PgRIgjKrJHxjAwkQXliQVAf8aHlF9dC2hbsIwQ3DuAtyYzOg" style="height: 225px; width: 225px;" width="225" /><br />

I currently have two crazy dogs in our family. Ranger, an overweight grumpy 8 year old Beagle and Rebel, a 3 year old Pembroke Corgi. (and, yes if we get another dog he will have an "r" name. This wasn't played. I had Ranger for years before Rebel)<br />
<br />
<br />
. I adopted Ranger in 2003. He was the cutest thing I had ever seen. I paid $182 for him. He was/is spoiled rotten. <br />

This is Rebel. She's spunky loud and so affectionate. <3 We resuced her from a family in Azle that was mean to her. She still has a lot of fears, mostly brooms and my dad, but she's so sweet with Scout.<br />

<br />
I want to share a story with you. This story will almost certainly changed how you view me, it may change how you feel about me as a person. This story was a major event in my life. It changed something inside of me. <br />
<br />
I have hid this from many and only a few know. I wasn't ashamed. I just didn't want to deal with the drama and judgement.<br />
<br />
Now, I want to share my story but I am still afraid of the judgement. I tend to say I don't care what others think but that isn't entirely true. In many ways, I do care what you think and I want you to like me, heck even love me. This secret story is something that must people feel VERY strongly about one way or another.<br />
<br />
I want to tell you the story that changed such a big part of me but I'm worried what you would think and what others will think. <br />
<br />
I suppose it doesn't matter in the big picture. Your views on it may change how you see me now but it won't change the past. <br />
<br />
<br />
Do I share this story and face my fears of disappointing my friends and reader? Do I keep this to myself? I am not ashamed but this isn't something I would yell from the mountaintop. ( because it is so personal and a hot button issue with most)<br />

Great idea, right?!?! I know I've already done my goals for the year but I think adding a word for the year could be a reminder of what I'm hoping for. So what's my word? One doesn't do it for me. I'm using 3 words<br />
<br />
<br />
My words are: Focus, Create and Love.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to focus on whats important to me. My family, myself and my work.<br />
<br />
I'm going to take the time to make beautiful things. <br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to love more. I'm going to be kinder and show others love.<br />
<br />
<br />
What's your word or words for the year?<br />
