All I want...
...is to breathe out of my nose. Ugh!!! Being sick sucks!
Austin, TX is the allergy capital of the damn world. But I think I'm beyond the allergies now...and I am not happy.

No exercise
Yup...the title says it all. I didn't exercise on 2 of my scheduled exercise days this week. Why...umm I could tell you, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that it is so not acceptable.
My girl Ro talked about it just yesterday in this post. Actions speak louder than words. I can say over and over that I want to do this or that...but unless I do it...it's just BS. This is the funny thing. Who am I fooling? Nobody but me!! So I promised myself 3 days of exercise this week. I will get those 3 days in. Gotta get 'er done!!!
Hope everyone is having an awesome week so far. I have my bimonthly dinner with the girls tonight. We are going to PF Chang's. I'm already looking at the menu to minimize the damage.

I love to shop
Seriously...I'm like the brokest broke person in the world...yet I love to shop. I mean I can't stop shopping. It's sad!! Today I went to Nordstrom's Rack ( I love that store). I went there because they always have shoes for my extra large feet (size 11). OMG. I found some of the cutest shoes. Of course I tried them on to make sure they would look perfect. But they were not perfect. They were off a little. I'm not sure why. So I tried on a pair of flats in size 11...they were like damn flip flops. Hot damn...my feet have gotten smaller. I tried on the size 10's...to damn tight. Are you kidding me. I'm wearing a freaking size 10.5. Do you know how hard it is to find a size 10.5...extremely. Drives me insane. Yet, they carry them at NR. I found two cute pair. I got the cutest pair of Cole Haan black pumps for $75. That was pretty awesome for a pair of shoes that start at $248. I'm one happy chica.
Oh yeah. I am firmly in a size 18. What?!?! Yup...I can't believe it either. I'm happy...but it's only the beginning. There are more sizes to drop. Many many more.
Healthy living is hard for someone who is addicted to sugar. Yup...that would be me. I can do great all day...and then after a great workout...all I want to do is consume cookies, cakes, anything with sugar.
Please share with me some of your healthy sweet snacks. I need all the help I can get.
On the weight loss front I was down 1.8 as of Wednesday last week. Well do to my sugar infused binges those 1.8 came back. I'm so glad they didn't bring any extra with them. I'm still well on my way to losing the 5 lbs I need to lose for the month.
Exercise this week will only consist of 3 days. I need to study for my test. So 3 days a week for the next two weeks until after I pass my test. Meal planning is also on the menu. Mostly fish and chicken. I have a plan on trying some new veggies. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Have a great week everybody.
P.S. I'm going to try not to shop for one full month. Wish me luck.

Kickboxing and PHR
Last night was kickboxing. It was my first time trying it. It was hilarious, because I was the only big girl in the room. When the instructor started talking she looked dead at me and said, "If I need to come around and correct your form don't be offended." I truly wanted to throw my water bottle at her. Needless to say she did not have to correct my form at all. However, she did need to correct others...several times. Take that!!! LOL
Overall the class was fun...but intense. I had sweat coming out of my eyelashes people. It was a great working and made me realize I truly need to invest in a heart rate monitor ASAP!!
In other news...I didn't workout tonight. It sucks because it is a workout night. However, I truly needed to study and create more flashcards for my PHR certification. I have 18 days until my test. I'm really excited. I'm prayerful that I will pass. This is just one more step in the right direction to getting my dream job. Also, I want to have this under my belt before I go to law school.
What are your weekend plans. Me...nothing much...trying a Body pump class on Saturday morning (if I can get out of bed).
Enjoy your weekend...remember that healthy living does not have weekends off!!

my life is boring
Everything is going well. I started the week off right. Monday and Tuesday were great days of exercise. I went to the gym Monday night and spent some time with the treadmill and that evil bitch StairMaster. You can ask Ronnie what my shirt looked like...it was not pretty. LOL
Yesterday was Go-Go Cardio. Let me just say I've been taking this class for over a month...once a week and I still lose a lung during the workouts. I LOVE IT!!! I even convinced a friend to join me. She cracks me up every time. She has no rhythm at all.
So my goals this week are to lose 3 lbs, work out 5 times and eat on plan. So far so good!! We shall see what happens.
Other than that my life is the same boring. Tonight I'm going to kickboxing. Wish me luck!
BTW...I tried this delicious, quick recipe that Ebbs suggested. Check it out. You will enjoy it.

I did it
I joined the gym. Yup. The health insurance allows you to join for $25 a month. Not only do you get to go to the gym of your choice...but you get to go to any of the 8,000 gyms on the list...anytime!!! How freaking awesome is that?!?! I'm super excited. Especially since they offer a body pump and kickboxing class.
Oh yeah...and the studio where I take Go-Go Cardio added some new classes for the new year. Guess who will be up in the place...ME!!! LOL
Well this post is not much of nothing...just wanted to say...I joined the dang gym. Woo-hoo!!
Have a great remainder of the week.

Words and Phrase for New Year
Well here they are. My words for 2012. These words and my phrase have meaning for me. They will be my guides through 2012 along with my smart wellness goals for the year. This year is going to be fantastic!!!
Fearless: adj.
Free from fear; bold or brave
Bad ass: adj. (Thanks Vanessa)
1. Used to describe one who totally owns who he/she is, is uninhibited in who they are and doesn't let what other people think affect his/her actions/decisions.
2.Noun: A person who is the best of the best at what they do professionally and/or personally. Being a Bad ass goes hand-in-hand with being self confident, secure and uninhibited.
Dedicated: adj.
1. Wholly committed to something, as to an ideal, political cause, or personal goal.
Phrase of 2012
It always seems impossible, until it's done. (Nelson Mandela)
In 2012 I will leave my fears in 2011. I will step out on faith and follow my dreams. I will apply for the jobs I am qualified for and not be afraid of rejection. I will pursue my photography and not be afraid of criticism. I will take my PHR certification and not be afraid of failing. I will retake my LSAT and know I am smarter than a standardized test. I will live my life without fear!!!
In 2012 my inner bad ass will show on the outside. I'm not longer going to let what others think of me count at all (yup...sometimes I do...but they don't know). Nothing or nobody is going to stand in my way of success...that includes me. I'm getting out of my own damn way for a change and I'm going to keep on climbing!!!
In 2012 I will be dedicated to reaching my personal and professional goals. I will be dedicated to losing the weight. I will be dedicated to educating my children. I will be dedicated to my marriage and making it the best it can be. I will be dedicated to me. Dedicated to loving me even on the days when all I want to do is bury my head in the sand. I will be Dawnya...and Dawnya will be happy!!!
Nelson Mandela is a great man with great insight into life. His quotes and speeches always inspire me to do better. At this moment the thought of losing another 100 pounds seems impossible. But Mr. Mandela is right...it seems impossible, until it's done. I will get it done. I may not lose it all in 2012...but I will get there. Every pound is a victory and one pound closer to goal.
Be blessed in 2012 my friends...be blessed. Have a safe, prosperous and Happy New Year!!!

Fitness equipment, words of the new year, life
So apparently I need to post more. Gotta make that a priority...because writing this blog and reading your blogs are one of the many keys to my current and future success.
Fitness equipment:
Remember I said I was thinking about getting a treadmill. Well I want a treadmill and an elliptical (thanks Ronnie) or StairMaster. I am the worst about going to the gym. They would just take my money and I would never go. I just don't want to do that. I don't have any extra money just to throw away. So I'm trying to convince Charles this would be a great investment into our healthy future.
However...in 2012 our health insurance will offer a membership to over 8,000 health clubs for $25 a month and a $25 initiation fee. I really need to weigh my options. Let me know what you think.
2012 Words:
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to participate in this word game. The reason is I have more than one word. I have three words for my new year. One of which I totally stole from Vanessa...and she said we could share. I love that warrior chick!!
Life:
Christmas was awesome!!! My kids were hilarious. They played, they fought and they drove me absolutely crazy. Which made for a wonderful day. Oh yeah...the migraine appeared out of nowhere on Christmas Eve and just went away yesterday.
Other than that...life is good. I'm making great choices.
I'm down 1.2 pounds this week. A new low for me. I'm excited that the scale is steadily moving downward. I am taking even more steps to ensure that it continues to go that way. I have a scale and measuring cups at work. I have a scale and measuring cups in the glove compartment of my car and Charles truck. I also plan on carrying measuring cups in my purse. My mom bought me all the measuring cups for Christmas. She knows how much I want to make a difference in my life.
I've been staying on plan with eating. Well except the 2 weeks I didn't make a meal plan. I'm back on my meal plan. Which I love. I'm super excited that I paid the few bucks to buy these meals plans. Yup...making my own was not working so I bought someone else. However, now that I have used hers I am starting to branch out and try new things. Like tonight...I'm making my own ranch dressing.
Okay...that's enough of my crap. Love you all. 2012 is the year of success!!

Tomorrow is the big day
Tomorrow is Adoption day for my little guy. We are so excited. I actually worked today so that I can take tomorrow off without using leave. It's going to be a great day. All 3 kids will get to bang the Judge's gavel. The judge we have has been a part of this case since the very beginning. We are coming full circle. Our family is complete.
God is so amazing!!! He blessed us with children that we could never have on our own. He strengthened our marriage when it was falling apart. He has kept us afloat with the financial hardships of raising 3 kids without being prepared has caused problems. God has just been keeping us. I'm feeling so good today. Thank you, Lord.
Band wise...today was weigh day. No change. No gain and no lose. Which is a good thing. I didn't plan my meals last week. Let me tell you...meal planning has been a big thing in my recent losses. So I will have my meals planned this week. Including our lunch tomorrow to celebrate the adoption. I have already reviewed the menu at the restaurant and picked my entree.
I didn't exercise last week either. I will have that covered this week too. I'm still thinking of joining a gym....but, unless I hit the lottery I'm going to have to pass. Maybe I can convince Charles to buy me a treadmill. But the last time he did that I used it as a coat rack.
Oh well. Happy Holidays to you all. Enjoy your family. Remember the reason for the season.
P.S. What are your goals for the New Year? Not resolutions...but goals. Goals are measurable.

Fill Day and other stuff
So today was a fill day. I had a fill on November 17th which put me up to 7.7 in my 10cc band. It is a great level. I'm loving it. But today was still a fill day. Oh and a meeting with the nutritionist. Which by the way was my first time meeting with her.
I weighed in. Guess what? I lost 9 pounds in a month. Yup. Awesomeness (I love made up words...I think this is a Laura Belle word). I'm super excited to be heading downward. I actually lost 2.8 pounds last week ( I weigh in on Sunday). I was superduper excited when I saw those numbers on the scale.
In other news...I did not find my fitbit. Which I totally cried about. I have already decided I will get a new one. I'm going to place my order in the coming weeks.
I thought about joining a gym. Then I ate a cookie. Just kidding. I seriously considered joining the gym. But I'm afraid it will be wasted money as I wouldn't go. Plus, I learned that I would still have to pay to participate in certain group exercise classes. That is insane. If I pay a membership the classes should be included. I guess that's how they get rich.
I'm starting to get excited about Christmas. Especially since I'm don't with my shopping after today. Yippie!!!
I recently purchased some photoshop software. I'm so excited to play around with it. I can't wait to master it. I will be attending a photography weekend in Dallas during the month of January. I'm so excited. I get to go to several different classes over the course of 2 days. I've been wanting to go for the last 2 year, but something always came up. Well I've already paid for it and I can't wait. If you love photography and would like to learn more here is the link to the website for the Rocky Mountain School of Photography weekend workshops. See if there is one in your area in 2012.
Well that's all folks!!!

Top of the morning to you
Good morning everyone!!! Sorry I have not been posting regularly...but I'm living life with 3 toddlers. The best I can do is come to work everyday.
How have you all been. I miss you. I am reading your blogs. Entertaining stuff.
Life is good. The scale is actually going in the right direction. So I'm really happy about that. Exercise is just that exercise. I still don't love it...but I do it.
My youngest son will be adopted in 2 weeks. I'm so excited. I'm done with "having" kids. Three is enough for me. LOL
Yesterday was a great day. We went to the Christmas tree farm and cut down our tree. The kids were not in the festive mood. They kept talking about how cold it was. LOL. It was like 42 degrees. Seriously...this is Texas....I did not move to Texas to be cold.
Well the tree is home and waiting to be decorated. Which will more than likely take place tonight since Charles is off from work. My daughter is really excited about it. She reminded me this morning that the tree didn't have any lights on it.
The bad part of yesterday is my Fit Bit is missing. I had it on all day yesterday. Yet when I went to take off my clothes last night it was not in its designated spot on my bra. I'm so upset about this. First off it was a gift from an awesome friend and my PBC. Secondly, it keeps me on track. What the heck am I going to do without it? I'm really hoping it is inside of my car or Charles truck. I didn't get to look last night because it was so dark. Worst case scenario is it fell out at the Christmas Tree Farm. Gosh I hope not. If I don't find it by the end of the week I will just have to order a new one. I love that thing.
In other news about my life...there is nothing to share. Sorry!!
How have you all been. I miss you. I am reading your blogs. Entertaining stuff.
Life is good. The scale is actually going in the right direction. So I'm really happy about that. Exercise is just that exercise. I still don't love it...but I do it.
My youngest son will be adopted in 2 weeks. I'm so excited. I'm done with "having" kids. Three is enough for me. LOL
Yesterday was a great day. We went to the Christmas tree farm and cut down our tree. The kids were not in the festive mood. They kept talking about how cold it was. LOL. It was like 42 degrees. Seriously...this is Texas....I did not move to Texas to be cold.
Well the tree is home and waiting to be decorated. Which will more than likely take place tonight since Charles is off from work. My daughter is really excited about it. She reminded me this morning that the tree didn't have any lights on it.

What up my peeps
Over the Thanksgiving weekend I lost 2 lbs. Yup...I ate what I wanted (in measured portions) and I lost weight. It was awesome!!!
With the Christmas holiday fastly approaching I have got to start some shopping. My children do not really know about Santa. I'm trying to tell them about it now. They do know that Christmas is Jesus's birthday. My daughter is excited because that means cupcakes. Yup, the kid knows birthdays equals cupcakes. Hilarious.
We are going to go cut down our Christmas tree next week. I thought it would be this week, but nope. Oh yeah...I'm taking my daughter and son to the ballet on Friday night to see the Nutcracker. I'm so excited. Then they have a Christmas party on Saturday morning starting at 10 o'clock. We are going to try our hardest to get there in time to see Santa. If they don't make it they can see Santa again the following week at their next Christmas party. Yup my kids go to 2 Christmas parties a year and they get gifts at each party. The love it. I love it...because that is one lest gift I have to buy.
Last night I went to a Go-Go Cardio Mix class. OMG. It was so much fun. But let me tell you...when I left that class I was sweating like a greased pig being lead to the slaughter house. I mean I had sweat in my eyes...and I had on a dang headband.
I've set a goal to run a minimum of twice a week. My stretch goal is three times. That may not seem like a lot...but I can tell you it is more than enough.
In 9 days Ronnie and the boys will be coming for a visit. Try not to be jealous....okay..I know it's hard...but try. We are going to have so much fun.
That is enough rambling for now.
