Escaping Time....

Time is such a valuable thing... we seem to take advantage of it instead of just stopping to enjoy the time we are given.. life is really short if you think about it..

I realized this morning that i need to enjoy my free time as much as i can... its hard to balance working full time and still remembering to have your own time to just enjoy living.. we do work so we can be able to do things and have things that we want and enjoy.

I love getting up early and just sitting on my deck and pondering life and the beauty of the things i have been given... i think we all just need to take time to live simply and love our lives for what they are... right here right now is all that matters! :)

I encourage everyone to take time to ENJOY and live your lives to the fullest right here and now! :) :) :)

Things that i LOVE:


My House is something that means a lot to me and that i worked hard to be able to have.


I love to be crazy and spontaneous. :)


Of coarse the LOVE OF MY LIFE! :) He means the world to me!


I love walking down the beach and putting my feet in the ocean.


And i love the outdoors.

RAINY Days!!!!!!!! :)

I have to say i love a rainy day every once in awhile! :) it gives me a little time to just relax and not feel like something has to be accomplished.. very good day for me to finish up the twilight series ive been reading for the last couple weeks!

BACK ON TRACK.

So i've been faced with the hard decision of how am i going to Lose Weight... i know, i know... its a question most people ask themselves lately.. i've been really struggling with being overweight lately because i can tell my body does not like it. I've been wanting to be healthier and get myself in shape for my own safety not because i think im fat or anything i just need to be a healthier person!

So i did it!!!! Today i signed back up for Weight Watchers Online... :)




I started weight watchers back in Feb and i did pretty well for about a month and then i had a lotta things going on in my life and i got off track some so i just quit and didn't wanna waste my time and money on something that i wasn't 100 percent committed to, so now i HAVE to be 100 percent committed to being healthier and eating better! I also just wanna feel better! I know the reason i've felt so crappy lately is because of the foods i eat.. they aren't doing anything for me but draggin me down!




I'm really excited to be committed to this and if anyone has any thoughts or comments for me or on weight watchers i would love to hear about them cause i am determined to succeed! :) I need all the support i can get!!!! :D

HaPpY!!!!

I'm so happy my life is just crazy good right now! I can't even explain it to anyone.. its just GREAT!! :D

Motivation

What comes to mind when you hear the word MOTIVATION?

Motivation to me is when you have a goal that you are trying to achieve and something pressures you into accomplishing that goal.

Sometimes motivation can be hard to find no matter how bad you want something in your life... its will power and training yourself to get into the right mindset in order to achieve something. I have such a hard time motivating myself but i know that it can only come from yourself because when people pressure you into doing something you tend to do the opposite (not all the time, but most of the time). Its almost like you have to force yourself to do it or else it WON'T happen.

I love that we have choices and we have to make our own decisions in life sometimes its hard to make the right one... or maybe the better choice for you!?!

I'm curious to hear what other people do to motivate yourself or where your motivation comes from when you are put in a situation that you need to make a choice.

Finding happiness within

Life lately has got me on edge, in a vulnerable and interesting way. I've been presented with some AMAZING things in my life these last couple months and sometimes you gotta just sit back and look at things from the outside in and just ENJOY the moment with an open and happy heart!

As happy and crazy as i am, life can still get me down.. i know its hard for me to say that out loud cause i try to hold such a tough surface, but we all have hard times, we are human after all! Being put in a vulnerable position no matter what it involves is such a humbling experience, yes it can be Scary but it gives us the chance to make a choice. If we didn't get put in a place to have to make decisions life would be so boring, we all have passions and goals in life, and its up to us to make those things happen or at least try to! :)

I'm so FREAKING happy right now! I've never dreamed i would ever be where i am in life right now, i love experiencing the joys and excitements in life theres just something SO trilling about it! My biggest down fall is being able to hold myself together when everything else falls apart, because we all have to be our own person, you have to make your own choices and decisions. All our successes in life come from ourselves with a little motivation and support from the people that love us, but we have to pursue happiness in our own lives for the sake of keeping ourselves sane and whole.

Life is just such an amazing experience!

Being Green...

What going green means to me!

Organic foods are grown free of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones and genetically-engineered substances. Eating Organically is not something that i am doing because its more nutritious or its better for me, although it some ways it is. I recently have had a few discussions about what the purpose of eating organically or buying organic products is and those few things described above say it all... its better for the environment.

Benefits of Recycling
-Recycling protects and expands U.S. manufacturing jobs and increases U.S. competitiveness.
-Recycling reduces the need for landfilling and incineration.
-Recycling prevents pollution caused by the manufacturing of products from virgin materials.
-Recycling saves energy.
-Recycling decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.
-Recycling conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals.
-Recycling helps sustain the environment for future generations.

(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

I think recycling can be so easy and look at all the positive effects it can have on the environment if we all just do a few small things to make it possible!

I've just been really thinking about why people eat organically and why people are So obsessed with recycling and such... and so i googled these things and what you see above are a few things that helped me understand the benefits being green has not only for us as people in this crazy world but also for our environment!
