31 Days 2013 - Identifying

So yesterday I discussed letting go in order to find what makes me truly happy. Well today I need to identify some of the things in life make me completely happy. I've been pinning various articles today about how to determine what I am good, how to live a fuller, happier life, and how to get out of my own box. It is going to take me a few days to read, see if they could help me on my quest, and figure out how to incorporate them in my life so I thought I would just list some things right off the top of my head that make me happy and maybe even some that do not make me happy. Let the random list begin...

 What Makes Me Happy
1. Lexi
2. Coffee
3. Warm Weather
4. The Beach
5. Traveling
6. Food
7. Target
8. Crafting
9. Books
10. Music
11. Friends
12. My Sisters


What Make Me Unhappy
1. Extremely Cold Weather 
2. Drama
3. Friends Who Are Only Around When It's Convenient For Them
4. Money/Bills
5. Disorganization
6. Clutter
7. Most of My Previous Jobs
8. Tradition Work Schedules
9. Being Stuck Indoors (i.e. When the weather isn't so great)

 As you can see my lists are not that long or even finished yet but these are the things right off the top of my head. I am hoping that as I write down these things that it will help guide me to better my life in the way I want and cut out things I don't like. I believe this could also help me figure out that career question that I need to deal with. I'm off to read some of the articles I've pinned. Hopefully they will inspire me and help start answering some of the many questions I have to figure out!

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...
