5 Positive things about myself

I thought I should keep up the motivation train and say some positive things about myself today.

1. I love when i have my pretty days :) it really shows, just like in this picture. I know I am pretty 
2. I am a fun person. I may not be as fun or as much as a social butterfly like I use to be, but i am not a boring person, just gotta have the right people around me. 
3. I am the blondest brunette you will ever meet, this is positive because well that means i can make someone laugh with my sillyness. :) 
4. I am for the most part easy to get along with, when i feel like that connection with someone we generally are friends for life. 
5. I have a huge heart. My heart has room for anyone who wants me in their life and respects me and treats me like I would them. 

Now a little back tracking to Fathers Day.

We got Delaney for the day, it was extra special because we got to have her over to the new/old house and show her awesome room! Which she approved! We ate lunch at Texas Road house and had a busy afternoon. Here are a couple pictures :) 

Tevis is a great father. He is a fun loving dad who is always gonna be there for his little girl. I hope and pray one day he can be a father to a baby of our own one day.
Hope everyone had a great Wednesday!

here is my MOTIVATION....

Things are about to get real on the blog today....
jaws may drop and i may cry.

Looking back through pictures I cant believe i thought i was FAT in high school, gosh, to have that body back. I would slap the crap outta myself for one, WOW WOW WOW!
I am gonna post some pictures, this will hopefully help with some motivation. I need Tevis to take some "before" pictures of my whole body and have him help measure myself so i can document my progress.

Now that we have finally moved and things are going to get much better, especially my anxiety. I need to get back on the wagon, i really want a gym membership, only $10 a month, i can do that!

back in 2007, i was 18, had braces and look i am in a TWO PIECE. NO idea what my weight was, but good enough to be in that bathing suit. I remember that summer i was at my lowest. I wore shorts and tank tops a lot. 

lets fast forward to 2010.... this is what happens when you get braces off, get comfortable in a relationship, birth control, infertility issues, etc etc. 

Now...2013...i think the above picture in 2010 i was at my heaviest... i am currently at 210lbs. over the course of a year i have only lost roughly 10-15lbs... in my head i am dancing, but I KNOW and smarter to know that i could have done way more to increase those numbers. My OBGYN is glad to see a drop in weight, but needs to be a bigger drop.

I know i am in a better place now to get moving and lose some weight. I want to see the scale go down a lot. I want to be out of Plus Size clothing. I don't like the word "diet" and i don't like counting calories. I must find something that will work for me. It was very hard for me to post these pictures, i don't feel like big but i know I am. Thought about liquid diet, but don't want to starve myself. I think i need to maybe start off by doing the Detox Erica did @ Loyal Run..read that HERE... and then just eat clean as possible along with NO junk food, pop, and fast food. Eating out is something we do often, it just happens and is more convenient  I just need to order better stay away from the really bad foods. I get on and off the wagon A LOT. It happens, to us all, the point is getting back on. I will of course get to exercising too, need to burn calories. I think a gym membership is my best idea right now.
I have a 5K race in September i signed up for, i want to be able to walk/run without dieing.
Please give words of advice, encouragement and praise... i do not need negative comments! Thanks! I can DO THIS!

Making a house, OUR HOME.

 I know i've teased you all through IG mainly of pictures of the new house! I am here today to basically photo bomb you, ENJOY!

I am just going to show what we have done so far inside the house, outside will be another post sometime.

Welcome Home, finally, Britney & Tevis. 

This is the living room, BEFORE

this is living room, almost AFTER. Lots of decorating to do(notice no more WHITE WALLS)

Mounting TV above fireplace

DONE! need to hide wires still and get a small table to all of our stuff in the corner, BUT I LOVE IT above the fireplace

Taking a break, we painted Saturday from 930am-10pm

So happy to get rid of white walls, giving the walls color makes it feel more like a home.

Our friends bob and karen, helped making a house OUR HOME! 

Front door entry way, i forgot to take a before picture. We took curtains down and put window film up, great idea!

this is suppose to be the formal dinning, it will be my school corner, BEFORE

AFTER! walls painted. needs decorating

the wall way up above was already painted a DEEP red, so i decided to be bold and take it all the way down

other side of wall

bye bye white walls

waiting for it to dry before we thought of doing something else to the wall....

karen thought feathering the wall with the color we did the outside walls would tone down the deep red and be unique

picture doesnt do it justice, looks amazing in person.

painted the inside of our big window deep red and feathered that also. 

delaneys bathroom, forgot to take more before pictures, OOOPS. 

getting rid of the brown walls, gonna open it up with some yellow, Her favorite color

she loves tie dye and peace signs

almost finished product, flooring is going to be replaced soon and new toilet.

my front loaders, LOVE THEM! flooring will be replaced soon and going to paint in there soon.

delaneys room, BEFORE, blue and green

she requested pink and purple

i love these colors

Hope you enjoyed seeing pictures of our house turning into a HOME! 

still work to be done inside, but its come a long way and only took 6 days to make it the way it is! Sorry it was a lot of pictures, but have to show it off! 

the house is a 3 bedroom, two bath. I didn't show pictures of the spare bedroom or our bedroom/bathroom because nothing has been done there. that will just make for another post one day!
