31 Day Challenge

So what is the 31 Day Challenge? It's a challenge from the blog Nesting Place that she does every October. You pick a topic and write about it for 31 days. I've been thinking about joining and decided that I wanted to. I love to write but don't get to do it enough with being a mom. 

 My topic is something very personal to me and quite scary to share with the world. For a long time now I've felt very stuck and I've had trouble figuring out why. Lately it's dawned on me that it has to do with this scary ride called motherhood that I've been on. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE being a mom and I LOVE Lexi more than life itself, but I kinda feel a little lost in this new identity. So instead of sitting here and do nothing about it I am going to try and focus part of my day on just me. I've left my topic vague because I am not sure where I want to go with this but my posts are going to focus on various things that I either enjoy or that intrigue me. 

 So please join me on this crazy, scary month that I am about to embark on. I will update this page with links to my individual posts for easier reference.

Florida Keys Review

Image
  Florida Keys April 3rd-8th, 2021 Our Florida Keys trip was for Spring Break 2021. This was the first visit for my family, buy my in-laws who travelled with us have been a few times. We flew direct from Cleveland to Miami and then Miami - Charlotte - Cleveland return flight. Once in Miami we rented a car and drove down to the keys.  Day 1: We arrived in Miami around 10am or so. Got our rental car and headed down to the keys! Here are some pictures from our drive down to Key Largo. We stopped in Key Largo at Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill . It's definitely a bar type restaurant, but for a quick lunch it did the trick plus the patio is nice and overlooks the ocean. Great views especially after being on an airplane all morning. It was a nice introduction to the keys. After that we headed the rest of the hour or so down to Duck Key were our condo was. The drive was fairly easy without a lot of traffic.  Our condo in Duck Key was really nice. It was three units. Two on top and one...

31 Days 2013: Weight Loss!!!

Today has been an awesome day from start to finish!! Things just seem to falling in place and that makes me very happy as well as way less stressed. The best news of the day is that I lost more weight!!!! For those that were not aware I have been actively trying to lost weight since after I had Lexi. Well I lost the 25lbs of baby weight I gained in April, but wanted to lose more. So from that point on I started really focusing on losing weight. It already helped that I stopped having Starbucks multiple times a month and sometimes a week as well as pretty much stopped eating out. At home I focused more on healthier menu options as well as potion control. I also started tracking my food with MyFitnessPal . I truly believe those three things helped me continue losing weight because all I did for working out was walk. I would say around August/September was when I started adding more exercising into the mix. I focused on things I could do at home with the baby so it wouldn't ta...
