The hint I gave you was a pretty big one;)<br />
<br />
Well, if you guessed <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: magenta;">kickboxing</b></span> then you are correct!!! Sorry, I don't have any prizes or anything like that for you:( You can just have the satisfaction of being correct!!!<br />

This class not only has kickboxing, but weight training as well. It's a local class called BodyFit. It's definitely not like Crossfit. I wish someday I could do that!! When I first started this class, I seriously felt like a fish out of water, I kid you not!! The instructors were/are awesome and always tried to help me as much as they could, but even with their help, I felt like a fool!!! I didn't give up though! I pushed through and I kept on going!<br />
<br />
These classes were WAY different than what I was used to! I was used to running, taking Zumba, using the stair master, and elipitical. These workouts consisted of different hit and kick combos on the bag, along with mitting up with a partner, from anything to burpees, jump squats, weighted walking lunges and so on! I would stand in the class the instructor would be like: "This is your hit combo 1, 2, 5, 6" (she would show us) and then she would give us 30 seconds to hit the combo on our bags. I just stood at my bag and watched everyone else. I had NO clue what 1,2, 5,6 meant. So, I just punched whatever, just as long as I was moving. The weight lifting part of class was even worse for me. I know that this is terrible and I'm ashamed to admit this, but I didn't even know what a bicep curl or hammer curl looked like!! For the first month, (I think) the instructor repeated the directions about 4 times just for me, since I looked like a fool and a deer in headlights.<br />
<br />
The first <strike style="color: magenta;">couple days</strike> more like the first week or two, I woke up and seriously had to have my husband pull me out of bed! My WHOLE body was sore every where!!!<br />

Now, I am SO obessessed with kickboxing and my BodyFit class. I NEVER miss a class because I love the way that the class makes me feel and look. I get excited about coming to class because it's just that awesome of a class:) The other thing I found out is the community of an exercise class is great. You can meet some pretty nice peeps, who you have a lot of things in common with, like fitness! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: magenta;">I was pushed out of my comfort zone</b></span>, because of that, I have TONS more confidence in myself and what I can do:):)<br />

Not only have I gained confidence, but I have also gained so much more muscle than what I had before. I always said before that I want to get definition or tone up, but what that really means is more muscle. Muscle = Awesomeness = Confidence:):):) (<i>Not to mention, that I could always kick some major butt since learning some new moves...LOL!!!</i>) <br />
<br />
Before I was cardio Queen!! I went to the gym did the elliptical, stair master, ran, and then added in a little weights at the end. I found out that weights are key to weight loss, burning those unwanted calories, and loosing inches!!! In my college years, I was about 10 lbs lighter than what I am now, and my stomach is smaller now than what it was then. I know it's because of weights! If you haven't tried some free weights, you really should. You will be surprised what they can do for you:):) <i>PS: If you worried about "bulking" up too much and looking manly, that won't happen unless you train extensively OR take supplements.</i><br />

I'm happy to report that I have kept on a trucking, as far as living a healthy lifestyle. I'm super proud that I look at this as a lifestyle change and not just a diet. This is the way I will live the rest of my life. I'm still learning as I go on this fairly new path and I'm tweaking it as I go along! I've had my ups and downs since the last time I checked in with everyone.<br />

Throughout the past year or so, I have gained SO much <b style="color: magenta;">confidence</b> and <b style="color: magenta;">I believe in myself so much more than before</b>! Like I said, I have been working on myself, staying positive, and healthy:):)<br />
<br />
Since the last post, I did for my weight loss, the scale hasn't budged a whole lot, but I know that inches have come off! That's definitely a win and I will take that!!! So, here are my comparison pictures of before and after (still in progress though). The pictures only show a total of 40 lbs, but really I lost a grand total of 50 lbs!!! My goal was 55lbs, but dang, I will take that:)<br />

Now, my goal was to get down to 140 lbs, but my mind has changed along this process. I think that I am in the best shape of my life. Yes, I still have room for improvement, BUT this is the best that I have done so far in this journey:) I'm proud of that!!! I have been pretty proud of my <b style="color: magenta;">arms</b>(or as I like to call them, my guns...hehehe) and my <b style="color: magenta;">booty</b>!!! Squats and lunges truly do wonders for your booty!<br />
<br />
The past year, I have also started to focus on weight lifting and I'm not talking about the weight lifting machines at the gym, either! Don't get me wrong those machines are awesome, as well, but for me I wanted to take it a step up and <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: magenta;">get out of my comfort zone</b></span>. So, the past year or so, I started going to a class on a regular basis, probably 3-4 times a week. This is a hint as to what the class has to deal with:) See if you can guess what type of class I'm taking!!!<br />

It's been soo long since I have logged into <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #e69138;">Blogger</b></span> and I'm happy to be back. I have missed writing and sharing with everyone. Life just kind of took over and I had to focus on myself, family, and friends, so that's why I haven't been on here in forever! I have officially finished yet another school year. This is my 7th and very successful school year down:) It's hard to believe that I have that many years of teaching under my belt already!<br />
<br />
There has been lots that has gone on since I wrote my last post, but the most recent and exciting thing that just happened is that I changed my hairs again! I was a little bit scared to try this new do because it's so much different than what I always go with, but they say change is always good:) Anyways, I usually stick with blonde or dirty blonde for hair color and this time around, I chose <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">red</span></b></span>!! I didn't really expect it to be this shade of red, but it kind of just grew on me. I had a couple peeps ask me if it was my true hair color, so it must kinda just go. Here's a couple pics of my new do:)<br />

I haven't gotten my hair cut in what seems like AGES! It's definitely been longer than what I should have gone without a cut, that's for sure! I'm trying to grow my hair out, so eventually it will be long enough to go ombre! It's kinda a bold move for me, since I never do anything like that. I just hope by the time I grow my hair out that ombre won't be in style anymore and then my hair will not look the best! Oh...well, we'll see! That's all I can do at this point:)<br />
<br />
Here are some inspiration for my dream ombre hair:<br />

I hope that it will be finished at least by June. By "it", I mean the family room and bar room area(excluding the bar back splash.) <br />
<br />
Since, we are getting closer and closer as time goes by, I have been pinning inspiration rooms like crazy! Truly, if you follow me on Pinterest then you know already! I know I want something bright in our basement, especially the family room because there is NO natural light. That really bums me out, but you have to work with what you have, right?!?!?<br />
<br />
I want to carry the <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: cyan;">teal</b></span> and grey color scheme in the family room, with maybe splashes of pink and/or yellow. Haven't decided yet! Here are some of the inspirations that I would like our family room to look like:<br />

LOVE this <b style="color: cyan;">ottoman</b>!!! I love the color and the shape! If only I could find something like this where I live!!</div>
<br />
So, as you can tell, I do have somewhat of a theme. Now, just to be able to narrow it down! I also need to be thinking of colors for our living room. When the basement is finished we will paint our living room and get new furniture for it also. It will just be easier that way. We will be able to get it finished all at once:)<br />

My main focus has been on exercise and eating healthy, plus planning for for my sis's bridal shower, and my friends bridal shower! So, I've been really busy and trying to stay focused on my goals:) I hope everyone has had a great month!<br />
<br />
This month has been great for me! I had my sister's bridesmaids and my mom over to my house to work on the bridal. We did ALOT for it and I still have some other things to put together! I don't want to post anything on here, until it's over with because I'm afraid my sis will see:-o I want to keep everything a surprise from her:-)<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, the hubby and I tried something new and it was a skinny <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">BBQ "mini" pizza</span></b></span>! Let me tell you there were VERY delicious:):) I just have to share the recipe with you all!<br />

You all know that I'm all about quick and easy. This recipe is right down that alley!<br />
<div style="color: cyan;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></div>
<i>- Soft shell tacos(the biggest ones, burrito sized)</i><br />
<i> - 1/2 of a can of canned chicken</i><br />
<i>- Baby Ray's BBQ sauce( or another BBQ sauce of your choice)</i><br />
<i>- Low mositure/ part skim Mozzierella shredded cheese</i><br />
<i>- Onions</i><br />
<br />
The directions are really pretty simple! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">First</span></b></span>, grab a pizza pan and spray it with Pam. <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: cyan;">Next</b></span>, place your soft shell taco on the pan and squirt some BBQ sauce on. <b style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then</span></b>, sprinkle on some chicken, onion, and top with cheese! Voila, finished! It sure is yummy!!! The hubby and I also made turkey pepperoni pizza with onions, pizza sauce(of course), and cheese! That one was just as easy:) <br />

So, there you have it! Some of the clothes that I tried on. You can tell in the last pic that I posted I had all sorts of different clothes picked out to try on! You can never tell what it will look like until you try it on, so that's why I always try on a crap load of clothes!<br />

I have been finding all sorts of neat pins. Pins from working out inspiration to outfits that I completely adore. There really is no rhyme or reason to what I have been pinning...if I find it interesting then I PIN it!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share with you all some pretty A-mazing pins that I have come across:) These are pretty random....<br />
<br />
You all know how I LOVE different ideas for painting your finger nails and I just fell in love with this idea! It reminds me of spring and I think these colors are really in this season:)<br />

How adorbs are these?!?!?! I just don't know if I could make the anchor. It looks a little on the challenging side:-o<br />
<br />
Not only am I HUGE fan of finger nail polish, but I heart anything dealing with makeup, especially eye shadow. I don't know how many places or times you could try this, but isn't it just awesome?!?<br />

I could be considered an addict for accessories because I have so many bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and etc. This watch is rocking, but my favorite is the bracelet!! I want to find a "believe" bracelet because I need to be reminded daily or whenever I feel that I need it, to believe in myself, and the things that I can accomplish:) Since starting this weight loss journey, that is what has gotten me to where I am now! Anyways, here it is.....<br />

I need to have goals to work towards in order to help me stay motivated and to keep on losing that weight. Our Live Healthy Iowa, Weight Loss Strippers, have decided to enroll in a 5K April 6th around our area that we live in. We are going to do this as a team and be there for encouragement!<br />
<br />
My goal is to finish with a faster time than what I had when I ran my 2nd 5K this past fall. I believe I ran it in 30 minutes 50ish seconds. So far, I am able to run straight through a total of 1.5 miles at 6 mph. Now, this isn't the best, BUT I do have quite a while to prepare for this. It's harder for me to run when I have to run on the treadmill. Iowa weather isn't really the best for running during the winter months. I know it's pretty obvious why I don't, but I want to share anyways. 1. it's freezing cold!!! I don't do that well with breathing, especially now, when I run outside in cold weather. 2. I'm always afraid of slipping on ice or snow when I run during the winter months. I guess, I'm just a little baby when it comes to that; instead I chose to run inside on a treadmill! It isn't the most ideal, but it will work for now until it warms up and there isn't any ice or snow around!<br />
<br />
As you all know, I love Pinterest and find so many neat pins on there! I pin way more than I need, but times like these, I can always go back through and look to see what pins could help me for whatever I need them for:) So, I want to share with you some different websites that I found that might help out beginning runners, like me!<br />

I decided to join <a href="https://www.livehealthyamerica.org/default.aspx?pid=-1" target="_blank">Live Healthy Iowa</a> this year, in hopes that this will be just another type of motivation to keep the weight loss a goin'!<br />
<br />
What is <a href="https://www.livehealthyamerica.org/default.aspx?pid=-1" target="_blank">Live Healthy Iowa</a>, you might ask? Well, it's a simple plan where you form teams in order to lose weight! Your team should help each other with losing weight whether it would be encouragement, working out together, setting goals with each other, holding each other accountable, or even planning events such as 5K's or 10K's to do together and accomplish as a team! It's a 10 week plan where you make healthier choices to lose weight, tone up, or just be healthier.<br />
<br />
Each member of your team enters their weight and how long you workout each and every week. Your team can win prizes at the end of the challenge by being the team who loses the most percentage of weight or exercises the longest amount of time within your area!<br />
<br />
Our group consists of: Bubba(my brother), Tiffany(friend), Dana(friend), Ben (friend's finacee), and myself:) You even get to pick a name for your team and ours is...wait for it....wait for it.....<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #351c75;">Weight Loss Strippers!!!! </span></b></span> YES, isn't it the best?!?!?!? Hopefully, we will be the best <b style="color: #351c75;">Weight Loss Strippers</b>, there ever could be:):):)<br />

What can I say, I'm one busy girl and I need to get into a habit of coming on here more often because I miss blogging:( I promised you all a post of what I did two weekends ago. I made some delish dinner for the fam and some great friends. We had a fabulous time with <b style="color: #351c75;">conversing</b>, playing <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">BLINK</span></b></span>, and <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #741b47;">catching up</span></b></span>!

Of course have to take pic with the sis! Love her so much:) On another note, I just bought that top and I absolutely LOVE it!!! It definitely is a bright color, BUT it reminds me of spring and around this area(Iowa) you need to have a reminder of what is to come because this snow stuff is getting old! The other reason why I LOVE this blazer is because it makes me look pretty tan, especially since I'm really white! Coral must a a good color for my skin! Who woulda thunk it!<br />

I spent it with the hubby, friends, and the fam:) I will have to share that with you in a post coming soon. Right now, I want to share what we're planning for a bridal shower that we are putting on for my best friend! As you may know already, I'm in a total of 3 weddings, spanning out over about 6 months. So, I will be a extremely busy girl! I started planning or should I say pinning some ideas for 2 bridal showers a LONG time ago, maybe a year or so ago. Now, it's time to look over those pins and start the actual planning process. This is by far my favorite thing to do:) I love planning for parties and finding some unique games and such! Another one of the bridesmaids and I started going over some ideas for 1 bridal shower today!<br />
<br />
Her wedding theme is <b style="color: #351c75;">romantic and winery feeling</b>, so we just thought it would make sense to follow that theme for her bridal shower:) These are some of the different ideas that we had discussed and found:<br />
<br />
For party favors for the guests, we thought buy some wine glasses from Dollar Tree, paint the bottoms with chalk board paint, AND let the guests make their own wine charms....<br />

So, I decided to try something a little bit different than what I usually do. I usually like to give myself some type of french mani, but this time I did the exact opposite! This mani isn't the best, BUT definitely better than what my nails looked like before:)<br />

I'm clicking pics all of the time because I don't want to forget those memories. I also just LOVE taking pics! Since I take so many pics, I'm constantly going through my old pics that I have taken and organizing them into folders and so on. As I was organizing tonight, I came across some older pictures and I couldn't believe what I saw! I know that I have posted many different photos of myself and my weight loss, but this just puts everything into perspective for me again!<br />

See that girl sitting right next to me....she is the one who inspired me, got me motivated, and helped me start this weight loss journey! I owe her TONS of thanks!!! She has lost a total of 60 lbs I believe in a matter of 2 years or so! I will post her after picture down below. She started trying to loose weight back in 2010 sometime...so this picture isn't the best picture to show how much weight she has lost, but you can definitely tell!<br />

I never really thought about this before, but <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: magenta;">together we have lost a total of 100 lbs!!!!</b></span> That could almost be 1 adult....almost.... That is just A-mazing and crazy to think about it that way! Soon, it will be a total of <b style="color: magenta;">120 lbs</b> that we will have both lost, once I loose 20 more pounds. <br />
<br />
I just wanted to give a HUGE shout-out and thanks to this girlie right here:) Thank-you soo much, you have helped me with beginning this weight loss journey and changed my life forever:):):)<br />
<br />
Here's to staying on track and continuing to shed those last 20 lbs!!!<br />

This year I did though:) They turned out wonderful and here is the recipe for you all to try, if you would like!<br />

<div style="color: orange;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></b></div>
<br />
<b><i>1 1/2 cs flour</i></b><br />
<b><i>1 c raspberry jam </i></b><br />
<b><i>2/3 c chopped almonds</i></b><br />
<b><i>1/2 c butter</i></b><br />
<b><i>1/2 c white sugar</i></b><br />
<b><i>1 egg yolk</i></b><br />
<b><i>1 tsp of vanilla extract</i></b><br />
<br />
1. Take a bowl, mix together the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and egg yolk; mix until light and fluffy! Add the flour and put in fridge for 2 hours.<br />
<br />
2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray the cookie sheet with Pam.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Grab some of the dough out so it is about the size of a ping pong ball and roll it. Then take a cup and add a little bit of water in it. Dip your hand into the water first and wet the dough, then roll the ball of dough in the chopped almonds. Next, with your finger push down on the ball of dough right in the center. Then take the raspberry jam and fill it in the center of the cookie. Bake the cookies about 17 minutes. You will want the cookies to be a little golden brown on the bottom. Let cool and serve:)<br />

So, here I am now, telling you all, <span style="color: red; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have gained about 10 lbs:-0 </span> I have been dreading to accept the facts that I have stepped off of the bandwagon! This holiday season has been hard for me, to say the least! Ever since I went to Florida, I have gained 10 lbs because of all of the holiday parties and get togethers. I wanted to post this, so I will be held accountable and also to motivate me to keep on pushing on; even if I had a minor side-track! I will not get down on myself,especially since I have come clean, BUT I will try my best to eat healthy and make healthy choices:) As long as I learn from my mistakes and just move on, I think that will be the best!<br />
<br />
There will be ups and downs, but I can't give up and for those of you who are on this same journey with me, neither can you! <b style="color: red;">Never give up!!! </b>Brush yourself off, pull yourself back up, and keep on trying to reach for your goal! I just have to keep on trying to make the right choices:) <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">I want to be the healthiest self I can be:) </span></b></span><br />

When I first started this journey, I wanted to lose 60 lbs in 6 months and to tell you the truth, I thought I could do this! It was hard to lose 40 lbs in 6 months, yet alone 60! I have also learned that plans can change and should be changed and if you don't make a goal by a certain time that's OK! As long as I make it to my goal that is what matters! My NEW plan and goal is to lose the rest of this weight by the beginning of March! This is an attainable goal, I just need to set my eyes on the prize...lol! I just came across this quote and I thought it was VERY fitting for what I'm going through right now:)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="color: red;">First</b>, you will need to combine all of the marinade sauce ingredients together. <b style="color: red;">Then</b> take your chicken breasts, place them in a bowl or container of some sort, and pour marinade sauce in with the chicken. I like to <i><b style="color: red;">poke holes in the chicken with a fork</b></i>, so the sauce will really soak in the chicken. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but no longer than 3!</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="color: red;">Then</b> take all of your ingredients for the Mexi-Ranch sauce and stir them together. Once you have it combined then put in fridge to chill.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="color: red;">Grill</b> your chicken, until fully cooked. Put the grilled chicken breasts on a cooking sheet, scoop the Mexi-Ranch dip on top of the chicken and sprinkle on your cheese. Preheat your oven to broil. Broil the chicken for a couple minutes or until the cheese has completely melted and is bubbly.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

It's crazy by how fast my break has flew by already! I'm one lucky girl because I don't have to go back to work until Monday...woohoo!! I have to say though, it will be hard to go back after such a LONG break, but I must just push through!<br />
<br />
Every year, it is a Christmas tradition that I picked up while growing up, my family and I would make TONS of Christmas goodies. That's the tradition that I have continued every Christmas since I moved out of my parents house and each year, I add more and more goodies to be made on my "goodies list." I can't wait to be able to share this tradition and the love of Christmas that I have with my own kiddos when the hubby and I decide to make our family bigger:) Over the next couple days, I will be sharing with you all some of the delicious, but not so nutritious goodies that I have made!!!<br />
<br />
Today, I'm going to share with you, the best <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: red;">oatmeal raisin cookies</b></span> you will come across!!!<br />

As I posted yesterday, I went on a trip with the hubby! The hubby told me that, once I lost 40 lbs that he was going to take me on a trip....so we went to <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: cyan;">Florida</span></b></span>:) <span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><b>Fort Meyers beach, Florida</b></span> and it was well deserved and needed!!! I loved every bit of it. It was very relaxing, and fun! We actually got a pretty good deal through Allegiant and the resort was very nice! I think it would be a great spot for families because it's in a quite neighborhood and it seems to be very safe. We went jet skiing with dolphins and even got the jet skis up to 55 mph...which was exhilarating:)<br />

Overall, it was a fantastic trip with the hubs! I can't wait to go somewhere tropical again:) I'm starting to plan already...not really, but kinda:-p I loved the warmer weather and beautiful scenery:)<br />
<br />
I do have to say though it didn't feel quite like it was almost Christmas when we were there! I think that's one of the reason why I like living in Iowa...snow during the winter and the holidays:) I always say if we're going to have cold weather then bring on the snow!!!!<br />

It's crazy that the time has gone by this quickly already. I can't believe it's almost Christmas!!!! I have lots to share with you all:) First, about a little over a week ago, I hopped on the scale and couldn't believe what the scale was telling me.....well I could because I have been working my booty off! <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #351c75;">I was down another 10+ lbs:):):) </span></b></span> That puts my total weight loss at<b><span style="color: #351c75;"> 41 lbs!!</span></b> I'm super duper excited and am happy to tell you I am down to <b><span style="color: magenta;">156 lbs. </span></b> The last time I saw this number was when I first started teaching 6 YEARS ago! It's just nuts!<br />
<br />
I wanted to show you all my before and after pictures, so you can see what 30 lbs looks like. Just a reminder for everyone, I started out at 197 lbs, but I didn't start taking pics until 188 lbs. I was just too ashamed to take my pic, but I got enough courage to do it eventually:)<br />

I can't believe that this is only 30 lbs, I'm wishing now that I would have taken a pic when I was 197 lbs. Then it would be a true comparison of what I really lost! Oh...well...shoulda. coulda. woulda! I used to wear a size <b>15/16 </b>in misses and now I can wear a <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: magenta;">9/10</b></span> in misses!<br />
<br />
I know that 40 lbs really isn't a HUGE amount of weight compared to others who have lost weight, but for me it is HUGE! 6 months ago, I thought that I could not lose any weight and that it was impossible. Well, I definitely proved myself wrong and it just makes me feel so great, like I can do just about anything:)<br />
<br />
I still thank my lucky stars to have such a wonderful support system that has been there for me throughout this whole journey! Thank you SO, SO much for always being there for me and you know who your are:)<br />

A couple of weeks ago, I did my nails all up! Lately, I have been trying different ways to paint my nails. Some have been a success, while others, quite frankly, a disaster! Like they say, you learn from making mistakes! Here is my fabulous Black Sparkly French Mani:<br />

This was pretty simple and quick to do! All you need to do is first put a coat of clear nail polish on, paint black on the tips and follow that up with silver sparkly nail polish! Quick, easy, and cute!<br />
