So apparently I blogged and they didn't post! Oops! I just logged into blogger and saw two blogs I posted, one in December and one january didn't post! Goodness! That's how long it's been since I've blogged I didn't even notice! 

Hoping to keep up with this a bit more this year. So I'm starting now! 

Yesterday was my LLL anniversary. I've been officially accredited for 1 year now.  This past year has been so rewarding being able to give back and help others and provide support to others is the best feeling ever! 

I've learned so much in this position and have become a much more confident person and mother because of it.  

So many big plans for LLL this year. Hoping to get a few more leaders so I'm not spread so thin. Currently I have enough people coming that I'm doing two meetings a month so my one isn't overflowing!! And we are already planning for world breastfeeding week in August. Last year my group was really new and I had about 60 people show up. I'm expecting to double that this year!  

So that is why I keep so busy! I encourage any nursing or expecting mom to look into your local LLL group! It is the best way to mingle with like minded women that help and encourage eachother and mother through breastfeeding!  

So now that I'm off my LLL soap box! I also want to to encourage you to volunteer! It fills your soul and your heart and if you haven't ever or have thought about it but haven't made the leap, do it!! I promise that you will not regret it, not even a second! 

Healthy

We started on the healthy train pretty hardcore last year when Ryan's crossfit box did a paleo challenge. During that challenge Ryan lost over 30 pounds! 30! Guys my husband is so skinny and fit!!! 

Anyway! We've kept up this paleo lifestyle and i have been really hammering down on exercising. I think part of the reason Ryan was so successful was that he paired it with cross fit. 

I don't do crossfit. Maybe I should... But I have a hard time making classes as a mom and I'm afraid of messing up my neck or back.  So thankfully there are things you can do at home! I've joined the beachbody world and have become pretty obsessed with my PIYO DVDs. These workouts are like 20-30 minutes which is totally doable and it is easy on my bad neck and back. It makes me feel so strong. Push-ups, side bends, down dogs... Ugh I love it and you sweat your butt off! I pair it with zumba or running  and I'm hoping to be the healthiest me I can be this year. 

Ive decided that I'm going to (try) not to worry about the scale. Scales are so stupid! And instead just focus on being healthy and strong! I get super depressed when I start worrying about the scale. But it is just a number. I know I'm building muscles which weighs more than fat so that is another reason why that scale is so stupid! 

So here is to 2014, being healthy and strong... not skinny!

Anniversary time!

I was in 10th grade and I saw this new boy in school. He was tall and lanky with blonde hair and blue eyes. He played an instrument in band. I was pretty smitten. But too shy to do anything about it.  He went on to date a girl that was a year older than me and I remember always being a bit envious of them.  

Two years later this boy asks me out on a date. I had tickets to go see George strait. So I turned him down. Luckily he was persistent. Our first date was a disaster and I didn't speak to him for a few weeks. Then I saw him at an assembly looking all kinds of sad and I asked him if he wanted a fresh start and to get to know eachother slowly again. He invited me to ride on a Christmas float in a parade with him. We held hands and the rest is history. 

That was 12 years ago. 6 years ago to the same day we got married. 

Happy anniversary to my husband!
