Be You.... and .... LOVE IT!

I have always been a bigger girl

it's who I am, yes I can fix it, yes I have and am trying.

But over the last month I have started to come to a realization.

Life is short, Live it up, and Love yourself!

Be yourself and LOVE IT!

How can anyone else love you if you don't love yourself?

If you have been following since January I started running.

It first started out to lose weight.

Now it is so much more.

I don't run everyday anymore and for me thats ok.

I run for fun, I go on walks, I do different workouts.

I just try to stay active and feel better.

I do, I feel great!

Does this mean I am going to strut around in a bikini? Heck no!

Does this mean I am gonna wear my tankini, cut off shorts, and a tank top with pride?  Hell yes!!

I love following Skinny Runner blog.

She is hilarious and is a great inspiration.

One of her posts she was talking about the way women talk and think of themselves.

She made a great point.

If your inner self was a person, you would NOT be friends with them

You would not like the way your friend talked to you.

I also have decided to take on what my friend Courtney does.

She says she doesn't use a scale.

I totally threw mine out after hearing this.

It's probably the smartest thing ever!

I always missed out on doing fun blogposts like What I wore Wednesday and I always take pictures and am never in them.

Not anymore.  Pictures here I come!



This is what my night looks like....

The babies, Facebok, Cardinals game, Sweet Tea and the Couch with a blankie :)

These 2 cuties are still a little doped up from going to the vet and getting their womanhood taken away. (I dont know if it is spayed or neutered, I never remember which one it is for girls)

and could someone please get our oldest another dang cheeeeseburger! sheesh :)

Oh and PS I am researching and practicing my photog skills so maybe someday I will be as good as DrewB and SandyC.

Marbry Family Reunion 2011

Hubs' family is pretty awesome

I mean I fit right in so how could they not be! :)

Every 2 years we have a family reunion in Ohio were most of the family lives

Hubs and I love road trips

We talk, laugh, sing, yell at drivers and talk about how awesome life is

There are always multiple get togethers and we go to an awesome outlet mall

Its the best weekend you could ask for

Its one of those weekends that I want my camera to capture every moment!



Awesome and Awful !

You know what's AWESOME?

An amazing summer day!

-Our weekend in Ohio for the family reunion

-Laying out at Holiday World

-Taking care of some really great patients

-Having a clean house

-The orange marking on our lot that proves they will be digging the basement soon

-Cool new neighbors

-Having a spontaneous visit with my daddy

My friend Carri got a new camera!

My husband encouraging me to look into my photog business again

You know what's AWFUL?

-That 2 of my favorite restaurants are closed in Jasper- Quiznos and Subacos

-Taking care of mean patients

-Having to call complete strangers from across the country that they need to fly home to see a very sick family member

-Only seeing my bestie at work for 2.5 seconds because we have sick sick patients all day

-Hubs being at work for like umpteen hundred years

-The fact that I don't look half as good as I feel



AND WERE OFF!

Well We are here,

but you get the point

We were only 1 hr behind schedule (this is good for us)

Only one cat was really mad at us

and only one tried running out the door

we had a very nice drive

we solve world problems in the car, yell at people, sing songs and I dance

Hubs is asleep and I just got back from the Gym

This hotel is awesome!

gotta love super sweaty, stinky, gym shots!

Ran 1.5 Miles, 100 sit ups

Now to shower and visit with the family!

Yay for good times! :)



Stay tuned......
