Gratitude ... Day 91 - April Fools Jokes

Grateful for jokes!!!  I left the office for 2 hours and look what I came back to!!!

Gratitude ... Day 90 - Beach Body

I am SOOOOO GRATEFUL for Beach Body!!!  They provided me with a workout video I could live with and fit my lifestyle.  I then started Shakeology and my cholestrol is down.  I recently became a beachbody coach specifically for the discounts on shakeology and have found myself totally getting into this coaching thing!!  No shock there, I am being complete held accountable myself- who is going to be inspired by someone not living it themselves and I see numbers on the scale weekly I haven't seen in years, and I get to INSPIRE and MOTIVATE others through either helping individually or PLANNING (another Brooke Fave) groups to hold each other accountable and do workouts together through facebook.  This is just awesome and I am loving the transformation that is occuring within me inside and out!

Gratitude ... Day 89 - A place called Home

Today I was at my moms for the majority of the day for a pampered chef party and then we decided to stay for dinner since it was snowing for some reason, yes I was wearing a sun dress and flip flops.  And I was just thinking about HOME and how nice it was to just be able to hang out and enjoy the time there and not have to rush off or feel like we needed anything!  I Love HOME!!!

Gratitide ... Day 88 - Neighbors

The neighborhood we lived in previously in our townhouse was really one of a kind!  We have met some really great friends, one is now the god-father of Emily, two families we now do an annual vacation with, one family we do a ton of stuff with our kids, one family used to babysit Ryan, and all of them we enjoy having over for cookouts, going to their house for cookout, sitting in the middle of the street drink and eating for no particular reason...and today for this awesome wine tasting Sonya put together!!  We are so super grateful for such amazing people in our life!!

Gratitude ... Day 87 - Shawn T

I know I don't stop about T25 and how great it has been for us, but it really really has.  I have never been able to stick with a work out program before because it was too long and I would get bored or not have enough time to do it.  T25 is 25 minutes, but more than that I LOVE SHAWN T.  He is so energetic and motivating and as long as I am able to get my butt downstairs to push PLAY, he takes it from there, THROUGH A TV!!!!

T25 has 3 different levels, 2 come with the program alpha and beta.  Eric and I just completed Beta today (10 full weeks) of T25 and have lost a combined 31 lbs.  I am 2 sizes down from where I was when we started.  And more than that we FEEL GREAT!!!!  Of course we have a long way to go, but T25 has shown me there is hope and IT IS POSSIBLE and I have never been more excited or more motivated!!!  GRATEFUL FOR SHAWN T AND T25!!!

To celebrate our MAJOR vicotires on our journey today we added a banana AND Peanut Butter to our morning shakes and it was DELISH!!!!

Gratitude ... Day 85 - The Tax Man

Today I am grateful that there are people out there that know a heck of a lot more about taxes than I do.  I always try to figure it out on turbo tax and then become completely overwhelmed.  Today we met with a guy that was referred to us and he is great.  Totally laid back, totally hates taxes, but wants to save some money - AMEN!!!
