Taking The First Step!!!

Anyone that knows me, knows I use to be skinny!! Big butt, but skinny!!! And I know that looks are not everything, but I need to find a way to feel better!!

I go on roller coasters where I do great and lose a little then I gain it and more back! I never had to diet or watch what I ate, then I had 3 kids in 3 years..... Needless to say, now I'm fat.

I just can't figure out how to make a good change that is healthy for me. I don't have a lot of spare time to go to the gym daily with my work schedule and the boys. Plus I am an extremely emotional person and when I'm upset I eat and can't sleep so I eat more. Plus I have zero self control. I need to be in a junk food free zone to control it or something. Plus even when I'm not stressed or emotional, I dont sleep well and get bored so I eat.....

How do I make a fresh start? I need to do this for myself to feel better and for confidence. I know I will never look the way I use to, but I just want to feel and look better!!!!

So I need to be more active and healthier.... Help me people... Help!

Cleveland Aquarium

The kids are on spring break this week, and with yesterday being my only day off, we had a fun day!

First we met up with Liz & Sofia and went to Hard Rock for lunch! It was fun and yummy!!!

Then we all went up to the new Cleveland aquarium in the flats. I didn't realize it but they shut down Rock Bottom Brewery, and moved the Improv! So that is the building where the aquarium is. It was really neat, yet really expensive. I have more photos on my camera, this was all I had from my iPhone before it died. The glass tunnel and the touch area was the kids favorite, and it was neat. But not worth the money of 1 trip. For me and the boys it was almost $70. And we were only there for 2 hours and that was going through it all twice. So for $50 more, we got a pass for a whole year. Which if we ever went one more time doing this saved me money. Cuz I know between family and friends we will go back! Yet if your only going once, it's not worth the money at all!!!

Over all the kids had a lot if fun seeing each other again and they loved the aquarium, yet as a parent I was a little disappointed!

True Friends

Have you ever noticed how many friends just come and go in your life, but only a few stay forever!! We all have those people we see every once in a while or just run into each other, which is great!

Yet those friends that you can see every day, once a month, or a couple times a year, that you can truly be yourself around, and it's like time never passes...... I have a few of those, and I'm so thankful. Of course we all wish we made more time for each other, and that we did more together. But we also except each others lives for what they are....

We all have a lot of friends that we know on different levels, but those true deep down sisters are the best!!! I love my girlies!
