Just Me

How on earth as it been 3 years already?? I still can't believe you're gone. We've all had 3 years to mourn your loss and deal with this unbearable pain. I can't speak for everyone but the pain I felt this day 3 years ago is the exact same pain I feel today, I've just learned to deal with it. October 16th has been burned into our hearts and minds. We'll remember this date for the rest of our lives. Because this day is when we lost a friend and a true champion and role model.  What a great role model you were Dan. Your boys are growing up to be just like you. So caring and kind and so well mannered at such a young age. You've left a footprint in their hearts and they will carry you around forever. They have an entire racing family behind them, and I promise your boys will know you and how you were, because we will show them the best we know how. Continue to look down on us. While we all look up at you hoping we can live life you, if we all had an ounce of kin

Not only is today my best friend's 25th birthday, but he also landed himself a job today in Wisconsin and I'm so freaking happy and proud of him. I told him yesterday that he was going to rock his interview and that they wouldn't know what hit them and they would have to hire him on the spot because he's just that damn good. Now I don't know if they hired him on the spot of not, but he had his interview at 12 and he already has the job. Pretty kick ass if you ask me! So happy for him, I even had a few tears of happiness run down my face! :)

So on my 7 day detox I lost 6.8 pounds! Which is awesome!! I also lost an inch on my hips and half an inch on my waist! Monday I started a new workout program which is called Slim in 6 by Debbie Siebers. I'm on day 3 and so far I'm really enjoying it. The first day was a little difficult, not only because it was a new program but because it is so different from what I've done in the past. But I'm really enjoying it and will keep y'all updated on this as well. :)

Today is the last day of my detox so I will be posting the final update tomorrow! I do feel a lot better about myself I do know that! I'm not as bloated as  I was prior to the  detox, which is awesome!  I can't wait to see my final results tomorrow!!!

Sorry I have slacked off a little bit. But I'm on my last 2 days of the detox so it's back to cleansing/fasting! So far I'm loving this detox I've had no issues with it and it is definitely something I see myself doing again if I ever slip up on my eating healthy. I definitely don't recommend doing it all the time but once every 3-4 months I certainly think is okay! I'll post my weigh in and measurements on Sunday!! I think y'all will be surprised!! I know I am so far!!

Today was the third day on my detox. For breakfast I had my shakeology mixed with orange coconut water and almond milk. For lunch I had a salad with shredded chicken for dinner I will be having another shakeology! :) so far things are going well and I feel great!

I've been doing a lot of thinking about people who have been in my life. There are some people who are gone for various reasons. Then there are those who have come into my life and stayed. There are a few people that were once in my life that no longer are. While they were in my life we had some awesome times, but I have to set back and think for a moment. Were those really awesome times? or Was I simply being fooled? I don't know, I can't answer that and probably never will be able to. I think it is an un-answerable question. Because, honestly it could go both ways, you can field answers on both sides. But instead of dwelling on the realm of possibilities, I'm going to assume for my sake that they were truly awesome times. Because yes, I did have fun with those people whatever it may have been. I wish those people good luck on their endeavors, whatever they maybe. I'm not going to set back and wish ill on these people, because what kind of a person would that make

It's my second day of the fasting/cleanse day. The rest of yesterday wasn't to bad. I really wasn't hungry and when I was I just ate a few strawberries. Today, though, is a different story! I've taken 2 out of the 4 fasting solutions today. My tummy is hungry! But I'm pushing through and not giving in. When I get really hungry I'll just eat some fruits and veggies to hold me over. Tomorrow I get to eat and I'm super excited!!! Yay for detox!!

Measurements June 8th Weight: 255.4 lbs Hips: 53 in. Waist: 43.5 in Chest: 44 in I will record these again next Sunday. So far the fasting has been okay. The fasting solution I have to take tastes like absolute crap but I know it will be worth it in the end! Flushing out all of the bad toxins in my body! I fast again tomorrow then Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be eating days, Friday and Saturday will be the last 2 fasting/cleansing days. I'm so excited to share this journey with you all.

So I'm starting my 7 day detox program through Genesis Pure. Here is the link to the program menu. http://www.genesispure.com/ templates/genesis/public/pdf/ 7_day_detox.pdf However, I will be changing a few things around. Instead of using their shakes I will be using Shakeology that I already have. I'm very excited/nervous about this because I've never done any sort of a detox. That being said I think it will go very well, and I'm not doing this to just 'loose weight' I'm doing it to flush my body of all the toxins I've ingested in the last few months during my hiatus of healthy living. I will say though I did weigh myself because I was curious to see how much weight I had gained, to my surprise I only gained 3.5 pounds in 3 months, so that's pretty okay if you ask me. I know that's no excuse for my hiatus but I'm blessed that it was only 3.5 pounds, because it could have been a lot worse! So I'm looking forward to this detox and eating

I've struggled with weight my entire life. I was in jr. high and was a member of Weight Watchers, at 13 years old. Weight Watchers did work for me and my lowest weight I believe was 140. Which is my ultimate goal weight, as of now. But it got to expensive going to the meetings so we stopped. As we stopped we also stopped eating healthy like we were doing while on weight watchers. Slowly, the weight came back on and ultimately more weight. By the time I graduated high school I weight about 200 pounds. Then it was time for college, being a college student I definitely didn't eat the way I should, during my 4 years of college I put on another 60 pounds roughly, weighing a whopping 260 pounds. In the next 6 months I put on 20 more pounds. My highest recorded weight was 280 pounds and that was Thanksgiving 2012. Now, I know that isn't healthy whatsoever, and I know what I need to do. Its a simply and easy equation. Eat healthy and get off my ass. The beginning of the year is the

This week I celebrated my 25th birthday. Holy Cow where has the time gone? I kept things small and just had a cookout with some of my closest friends and family. I had a great time, it was a lot of fun! I got some really cute things, and some wine glasses. :) I really can't believe I'm 25, I'm a quarter of a century old, holy crap! I can remember in high school, which was just 7 years ago, saying I wanted to be married and have a family started by the time I reached the age 25, or at least be engaged. Well, here I am at 25 with none of those things. And I'm okay with that. Things happen for a reason, and we may not always understand them right away, but I know God has his own special plan for me, and I need to let things happen the way they are meant to happen. I also thought I would have many more things accomplished. I thought for sure I'd be graduated from college and working in the IndyCar Series doing my dream job from the time I was 13. Ha. Sorry I had to chuc

  Matt Little My dear friend Matt Little moved to Milwaukee, WI yesterday. Matt came into my life 4 years ago while living at Sycamore Place Apartment in Terre Haute. I'm so glad he introduced himself to Kayla and I, and at this point he was just visiting, he hadn't even moved into the apartments yet. However, when he did fate would have it that he would be living right across the parking lot from Kayla and I's apartment. In these 4 years Matt has become my best friend, and I'm so thankful for that. He has such a bubbly, goofy personality. He can always put me in a good mood, especially when I'm feeling down. He has the best personality and has brought so much joy and excitement into my life, and has opened my eyes to many things!  We have both changed a lot in the past few years but we have grown closer as friends. Even though he lives roughly 5 hours away now, I know we will stay in touch and remain friends. He has helped me get through a lot of things and is o
