I am kind of feeling like I was not pushing myself hard enough.
But I am dying in the workouts!
I know that this cardio thing is not my friend,
but I also know that it can be.
It will be.
Well, we might be frienemies.
HAHAHA.
Today was the fit test, we do them every two weeks.
That is a tough test.
I pushed myself to do a little more than the first test,
but man is it hard still.
I think I am using hard in every sentence in this post. LOL.
I can feel myself getting a little stronger though.
I will take the little bits.
Now on to some great news...
Drumroll please!
I LOST INCHES!!!
Everywhere.
Every part of me is down.
YES!! YES!! YES!!
So, that pumped me up.
Tomorrow's workout is going to be hard core again
BUT
I know this works and my body will say thank you..
someday!
Did you get up and move today?
Are you going to?

Health.Beauty.Confidence.
I am on a journey.
A life long journey.
Taking me on a trip filled with
curves, turns, stops, yields.
You name it, it has it.
29 years in the making.
29 years of excuses.
This year. THIS year.
THIS YEAR.
Is mine. And every one after too.
I am really for the challenge.
I am ready for the routine.
I am ready for the discipline.
I am ready to feel good about me.
Inside and Out.
This journey is not an easy one.
But it is okay to fall into temptation.
I just cannot stay there.
I have to get back to it.
AND I WILL.
These new posts will about my journey.
How you, yes you, reading this..
will HELP me to stay motivated.
You will be my voice in my head.
My partner in crime (the good crime).
And for that, I thank you.
Health.
I am on a road to healthy eating.
Recipes forthcoming (even if they are not good -
as a reminder to never make it again).
Workouts. My schedule I am following.
Progress. Weekly, to keep myself motivated but also see results.
Little by little.
Beauty.
Learn to love makeup.
The true reason for the stuff.
Learn to do my hair, not just a pony tail!
Dress to impress. Somedays will definitely be in my sweats.
*Sorry hubs*
Sermon series to learn how to be a better me.
Better for my husband,
my co-workers,
my friends,
my family.
And loving Him in doing so.
Confidence.
With time. This will come. I know it.
It's a full plate.
But I know I can do.
I know I will love who I become.
I know you will too.
Will you help me stay on my path?

Contain Yourself
I moved to Houston after college and well I was in heaven of the biggest stores you have ever seen and so many different ones that "St. Petersburg/Tampa" did not have.
I came stumbling across an invite for bloggers to come check a new store coming into the Tampa Bay area.
The Container Store!!!
Be.Still.My.Heart.
The grand opening is Saturday and Sunday!
For a little lunch box and a fabulous tour (which they should offer to costumers),
I fell in love with The Container Store even more.
Did not think that was possible.
Did not think that was possible.
This is Elaine, our guide and Container Store guru.
She is so lovely.
Their employees are their first priorities.
You do not hear that anymore.
They have it right - if the employee is happy, the customer is happy!
This little store is packed into 25.000 square feet.
Yes you read that right, 25,000 square feet.
Man do I want to buy a new house and organize EVERYTHING!
Husband might just go crazy ;) so I will skip that for now.
As I kept forgetting that cool feature on my iphone - paranarmic,
this would of been the PERFECT time to use it.
Next time folks. Oh there will be a next time.
Some stats:
Over 55 types of trashcans - who knew ?!
Over 80 type of hangers in 200 ways - that's a bit much? maybe? Ha!
I think it was over 80 different kinds of hooks! Man that aisle was impressive.
Shoe storage.
And its other possibilites.
They are endless.
Elfa.
Their own design. It is AHHHmazing.
Go check it out. It will not disappoint.
The Container Store's best selling product is their Elfa Premier Storage System.
For the brides out there:
They have a aisle dedicated to restoring your dress/garmets!
My favorite part of the tour was the tower near the registers...
tiny little gadgets. perfect little stocking stuffers.
Check that out too.
Seasonal sales are stores nation wide, and with this opening this weekend
The Work Smart Office is the section on sale!
Whoop.
So many pretty file folders!!!
Another popular choice,
the little black dress that stores all your jewerly.
Clever guys. Clever.
We all were given an AMAZING goodie bag.
Wow. The best bag EVER.
What a lovely lunch and tour.
Thank you to The Container Store Tampa and Elaine and her team.
It was just lovely.
I know the store will have great success here!
Best of luck!
Will you be visiting the Grand Opening weekend
or do you wait for the crowds to settle?

Mint(y) Fresh!
When I think of mint,
my mind races to...
and the little jingle that goes along with that.
Double your pleasure. Double your fun. It's the right one. The Doublemint gum!
Hahaha.
Back to topic.
Mint was the color of choice for this bride to be!
Sand was the burlap, so much better than the real sand.
Sand was the burlap, so much better than the real sand.
That momma's vision was displayed perfectly.
Very happy momma and bride.

Pretty in Peach
This past weekend I had the pleasure of being
the behind the scenes guru
for a lovely couple seeing visions of peach for thier special day.
I loved how they incorporated the bouquets
into the centerpieces and not just in vases!
Clever.
It turned out lovely if I do say so myself.
