So much going on!

Oh how I've missed this blog world because my world has been crazy!

I officially lost 30 pounds. Woohoo. Oh and I had a workout buddy a week ago.

Now for the craziness of my life.
First I had some medical girly problem a couple weeks ago.

Then I started working out after I started feeling better and got major case of shin splints.

Oh and my husband and I decide we want to build a house instead of buy and all last week I have been doing the run around getting the paper work and loan stuff done. (this made me have a couple of melt downs). My husband thinks since I went to real state school that I can do it on my own. This is our first house and I just don't want anything to go wrong. I will do a separate blog later on when the house starts to go up.

I found out this week my grandma stopped her dialysis because she's ready to go HOME. She's tired of being in so much pain but she's ready to go any day now. Sad part is I haven't seen her in about 3 to 4 years. I live in New Mexico and my whole family is in California. I was able to talk to her and make her laugh today. Glad I caught her when she was still good. My dad said there is times she doesn't know who people are.

Oh and this is my last week of class. Next week is finals.

Some foods I have been eating:

My new obsession!! So good. Jennie-O Turkey Burger w/ jalapeƱo and pepper jack inside.
I added 1/2 avocado and ketchup. I have had this for the past 4 days.
 
This is something I have been eating for years. Cucumber, tapatio, lemon juice and little bit of salt and pepper but this time I also added Avocado. So good.
 
My goal for this week is to get back into the groove of things.
So I started a new diet bet. Here is the link if you like to join http://bit.ly/11wLXko

My obsessions

Ok I have been a horrible blogger!

First off it is my oldest niece's 10th birthday. Happy Birthday Sierra!!!!

Sorry this blog is going to be everywhere.

I have mentioned before when I get into something I kind of obsess over it. That could be good and bad. This semester is my first one back in about 7 years and I obsess over my grades. I worry about getting really good grades. Yes, I know no employee is going to look at my grades for employment but it's just something for me. It makes me feel good because I have struggled my whole life with reading a spelling (haven't you figured out by reading my blogs my grammar sucks).

My second obsess is my weight loss. I know it's not healthy to weigh yourself every day but I do. I helps me. If I lose I get excited and want to get back in the gym and continues to eat right. I want to keep the pounds falling off but if the number on the scale says I gained or staid the same I get my butt in gear. I watch what I eat closely and push myself in the gym. I do eat out because I don't want to cut things out completely but I weigh myself the next day to see what I am dealing with. This works for me. I still get Starbucks every big once in a while (closes one is and hour and a half away) and I eat my steak, cheese, and saucy gooey yummy food because if I say I can never have it again I will crash and stop eating healthy and binge eat but I have those few and far between.

Some of you know I did a Diet Bet online and loved it. I had to lose 4% of my body weight in 28 days. I had to lose 8.1 which I did plus some. My official loss was 10.2. I am really excited and I should find out how much I won soon. I also started another one. It keeps me on track because I do not like to lose money. As long as you lose it you get your money back and possibly more.

On another  subject, I have been thinking about finding a 5K around here but my itty bitty city doesn't really do much. I did fine a 5k in Roswell May 11 which I am going to attempt to do. I have been trying to get back into running again. I loved it but haven't done it in years. I have been doing some the past couple of weeks. I also have been trying to find other races but the only other is a Marathon, 1/2, and 5k on Sept 2. I was going to attempt to do the Marathon but the time line is cutting it close and I do not want to get hurt. Plus my husband has to work that day and if I am doing my first Marathon I would want him there. I have decided to just do the half marathon. I should have a good amount of time to train and not feel rushed. I will keep you guys updated.

BTW I need some new good healthy recipes because I have been making the same things over and over. Leave me a comment below with your favorites!!
