Love is in the Air...

Almost two weeks into February 2013 and still going good...My weight loss stalled last week but hey, i didn't gain anything and Im still motivated and working out is becoming habit which is what I want.  But so far I have lost 11 pounds and I now weigh 166.  But I cant and wont give up now.  I have a 90 day rule where I have to continually put in the work and sacrifices of working out and eating healthy for 90 days.  90 days will be when I actually start to see the results.  So thats what im looking forward to:  March 27, 2013.
**Inspirational Quote for the Month:  "He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality!"  So True...It is Mind over Matter!

But on the the celebration of Valentines Day.  I went to Michaels and spent about $50.  Definitely more than necessary but we got a lot of good stuff as you can see.  Im learning, Im learning!!
So for both sets of grandparents Amaya and I painted and customized wooden frames that only costs $1.  Considering i'm not the creative type, with Amaya's help :), we made some very pretty frames!!!  Now all thats left is a recent picture of her and we're good to go!  I will definitely have to post with the ultimate finished product.  But right now Amaya is such the arts & crafts kid (her daycare teachers rave about her abilities all the time).  I just havent done much with her but the generic lame stuff such as: color and draw.  So this is definitely perfect timing (since she will be 3 in May..tear, but so exciting) to let her run wild with arts & crafts and be able to spend valuable time doing things with her that she loves to do.  Which brings me to another activity that we have been doing together and that Amaya enjoys.  Since the New Year we have been bringing Amaya to an indoor waterpark at the amazing gym Choice Health & Fitness and she just loves it.  Today, we were just chillin in the lazy river, she was straight up relaxing while I was holding her like a football hoping she would kick her legs or something.  But I got nothing.  Nonetheless, Amaya loves going to the waterpark...lets hope she can have the same enthusiasm if we go to the Lake this summer!  Doubtful though. :)

My $50.00 shopping spree @Michaels!

 
                                              "Put me to work Mom....This is my calling"

          The one on the left is hard to read, but it says "I Love You". plus some Mardi Gras flavor!

                                                     

To wrap up, We had fun at the super bowl party we attended.  There were 2 other kids there and Amaya really enjoyed herself.  It was very hard to leave her alone with the other kids but she handled herself very well.  I was definitely the mother holding her hand EVERYtime she had to walk downstairs to the basement.  I had to make sure my baby didn't get seriously hurt!

                                    Always rockin the sunglasses every single time the sun comes out!

                                                            I Love my Little Family!


                                        Last but not least Miss Mimi is working the runway.  She's got her heels on, her purse, and mommys sunglasses! Work it Work it!  She dont know it, but shes missing pants...the concept of wearing pants in the house is a lost cause with her!  I dont know why, but she loves to NOT wear pants, but she's getting better though.
