Day #7 My Dream Wedding

Do I Dream Of Weddings?

YoU kNoW iT

My dream would be a BeAuTifUl Fall tent wedding in my backyard

But do you know how much tents are? At least the kind I want? They are a lot of money.

I still can picture so many other things I want even if I can't have a tent.

I want beautiful green and Ivory plants and flowers all over. I will have a green wedding. All different types of greens, it's what I have always imagined.

Now picture this below with green 

I may throw a little brown in there or maybe black depending on the time of year

I want it to be comfortable but classy

Cute but not tacky

I think.........

I want...

A 

Maggie Sottero Dress

But that could change

I know no matter what that day will be perfect

I'll have my castle and my prince

Hopefully Day #8 Won't take me long to post



Go Jazz

So my bff Erin's Father, Mr. John Brophy has had access to 5th row Jazz tickets for years! Since my senior year I have been hoping maybe one day he will throw them my way. I always tell Erin, if you dad doesn't ever want them I will take them off his hands. So the other night I take Trevor over there for the 1st time, all the guys were talking and so what does Trevor do, he says "we can take those tickets off your hands"(we meaning the boys). I overheard and walked in the room and I see John hand Trevor the tickets! I couldn not believe it, no way John doesn't even know him! I have been wanting those tickets for years! So I said you better take me! Well of course John says you have to take Toss. So I stole Pete or Taylor's ticket and I know they weren't too happy about it. I just could not believe after all these years all I had to do was ask and I am sure I would have had 5th row seats a long time ago haha. Anyway it was a blast, and I will have to try and get the other boys some tickets so they don't hate me for life. Sadly..... D. Will did not play but I had a great view of him the whole game and the Jazz still won!! GO JAZZ!

I hope one day we can afford season tickets, we seriously had so much fun! I love that we both love the Jazz!

So trevor knocked the guy next to him over as he went for this little ball. He didn't even realize how aggressive he was being he just wanted the ball! He was so proud of his great catch!  

Apparently this guy is a big deal (in my sarcastic voice),  people wouldn't stop asking for his autograph, they ended up leaving early. Thats what you get for being good at basketball.... at BYU..... in the state of Utah.... You can't go anywhere!

Honestly the Jazz Bear is the best mascot ever! He is the highlight of the game sometimes, I honestly can't stop laughing at him! He cracks me up!

GO JAZZ

Thanks John!

Before the game we went to dinner at The Himalayan Kitchen, it was so YUMMY! Thanks to Taylor and Kallee's recommendation, it was a perfect night!

Day #6

A photo of an animal I would love to keep as a pet.

 I flipping LOVE animals!

This is so easy

I will have one of these

Yes that is a Teacup Pig

I want one so bad

One day

Mark my words

MY DREAM

Is to have a Sea Lion, but I don't even think it is legal to own one, so I may just have to fulfill my other dream and become a trainer and SeaWorld

I just want to kiss his little whiskers they are so cute!

 

On a more realistic level

I want an Alaskan Malamute, Akita, German Shepherd, or a Lab I WILL have one!

But for now my favorite puppy is my Rocky, I love him so much and for now this is all I can have until I have my own place.

I love my Rock Man

He is so handsome, even though his hair his turning white

I love animals a little too much if you ask me, don't even get me started.



Day # 5 Flashback

A picture of myself 2 years ago

2 years ago I had just moved home from Dixie State College and I finished my Associates Degree

It was a very bitter sweet time in my life.

I was excited to move home but it was hard to leave St. George

This picture is from winter break when our crew from dixie all met up and went ice skating it was such a blast!

I haven't changed too much physcially, but a lot has changed since then!  

Fun Facts/Tips take it or leave it

So what are the basics of being healthy? Most of this know what it is but when is the last time you made sure you were doing it?


Are you getting at LEAST 7-8 hours of sleep?
Are you drinking LOTS of water? Forget the 8 glasses of water a day thing.....drink as much as you possibly can!!!
Vitamins? Are you low on iron? A lot of people are.
Two things my trainer recommended I take EVERY DAY
1. Fish Oil
2. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)-CLA helps you to get rid of body fat and generate muscle. This is one of the few weight loss supplements that are safe to use. Studies have also shown it reduces the risk of cancer at several sites, including the breast, the prostate, the colon, the lung, the skin, and the stomach.
Pay attention to your body if you feel overly tired and exahsted you could be low on Iron or vitamin D. Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins
3. Mulit-vitamin
Speaking of trainer... he is kicking my butt! Talk about every part of my body being sore YEP!
I learned at a Mary Kay party host by Kalyn....
For ever night you don't wash your face you age 13 days! Can you believe that! Sick! So whenever you are laying there in bed too lazy to get up and wash your face ( this is me on a regular basis-  props to you if you are in good habits and never miss a night of washing your face) anyway just wash you face at night or you are going to wrinkle up pretty quickly haha


As for my weekend
It rocked :) I love when I don't have to work weekends. I got a lot of homework done and still had time to play.
-Homemade Pizza night

Day #4 Bff's

Pictures of my best friends!
I do not have one best friend, I feel so truly blessed to have had great friends throughout my life. Although some of my friends I don't see much anymore I remember those days when you could not find us apart, When we would talk on the phone for hours, and we were just two peas in a pod. Here is a shout out to all my Best Friends of the past, present, and ..... future? maybe haha

Ok I went a little overboard but I love all my friends!

I love you all

I miss some of you way too much

You have all changed my life in some way or another and I will be forever grateful for you

You know you can call me anytime for anything

Love you all 

I feel so lucky to be so close in age with my sisters. For 3 months out of the year we are only a year apart. Ex: This year we will be 23, 24, and 25

I love them and they are def. my best friends

Roommates! Some of the best friends I will ever have! College days were the best staying up to all hours of the night :)

Now if we are talking I am madly in love dream date

Day 2

Day #2

Post a picture of something you ate today

So it took me a while to post day #2 but I will finish this challenge!
One of my goals this year, of course is to lose weight and I have one of these after every workout :)

Protein Shake

They are so good and not very many calories, So refreshing its my dessert for the day. I recommend chocolate flavor, with strawberries and ice So so yummy! Lets hope this helps shed the pounds! :)

Tomorrow is a day I am fearing! About a year ago I bought some training sessions with a trainer at my gym. I wanted to get all in shape for the big day! But after every thing went down I kind of lost my inspirations. I ended up gaining weight instead of losing it. So I have been trying to lose the weight before I started my sessions but it just wasn't working out so I decided to just go ahead and do it. So for the next 5 weeks I will be working with big man Presley, a very large black man that is in the best shape I have ever seen. His words were "I am not going to go easy on you, I know you can do it and we need to get this weight off as soon as possible. You are a beautiful young lady and I want you to see results."

Therefore I hope you see why I am scared. Tomorrow is Day 1 of training with Presley. AHHHHHHHHHH
I am so excited, I have been running at least two miles a day ( I know thats not a lot for all you marathon runners but its good for me) haha.....  along with other things and I have been trying to prepare but lets just face it. I am so out of shape that I know I am going to die tomorrow. Wish me luck! Now I don't want to turn this into a fitness blog or anything but I def. want to share my results. Also I want to share tips with anyone who is interested, (although I know Im not skinny I do know how to get skinny) so I will put things here on there about my progress and what I can offer for all of you. Most of this comes from the advice Presley gives me. I mean he isn't just one of those people that just says he is a trainer. He as all the classes and certifications you could get, he also does competitions that a based on how he looks. He says give me a date and tell me to look a certain way and he will get there. He is awesome! 

So my first tip:

Tip #1
Don't eat fruit after your meal eat it on an empty stomach. I mean yes fruit is healthy but if you want to get the most out of it with how it digests, eat it before you eat a meal.

Tip #2
When you eat almonds try and chew them as many times as you can, maybe anywhere from 20 to 40 chews it helps as an appetite supressant. Almonds are a great healthy snack, but make sure you count how many you eat they are a lot of calories and if you just eat them out of the jar you may eat 30 before you even know it! I try and eat 10 - 15 and I could probably cut down on that.

Well if you think what I say is bogus thats fine but I hope as the weeks go on I can start to see some results and share some fun tips with all of you!
