JUICE FEAST!

I am VERY excited to start this up again. I did a juice feast for 21 days before I got pregnant and lost a lot of weight with it AND kept it off. I decided to do this again to help spark some more weight loss into my life. After hitting a month plateau, I really wanted to continue on my journey, but knew I had to make some changes for me in order for it to work. I decided to do my juice feast with an acception to raw salads if I felt the erge to "eat" something. So far......5 pounds in 2 days. I LOVE MY NEW JUICER. Its amazing. Im needing to up my calories a little more though with the juicing so I will try that today to make sure I am getting in all my nutritional needs and not starving my body. So far so good!

MT PRINCETON........check

Well I accomplished my first 14er and it was HARD. We did Mt Princeton in the Collegiate Peaks and it was beautiful, but not a very fun hike. Almost the entire hike consisted of boulders. Im not talking about these boulders that are firmly stuck in the ground and easy to walk on. I am talking about small pebbles....huge lose rocks and magnificant boulders. It was crazy. Once we were on the top, we noticed a huge storm coming so we started down, and go rained on.......rain + loose boulders = no bueno! IT WAS SUPER SCARY! I made it up in 4 hours and my husband did it in 2 hrs 45 minutes. Very hard but rewarding. Our next one is setup for next month. Cant wait. If you have not tried it I would highly recommend making the trip over to Buena Vista to check out the mountain!

HIKING MY 1ST 14er!

WOW! Cant believe the day is almost here to hike my first 14er! Couldnt be anymore excited and nervous all at the same time. It will be such a great experience for me and I cant wait to test my body. My knees have been starting to grind the past couple weeks, so that is my only hesitation, but having good faith and invisioning me at the top is what I need to focus on. THIS CAN HAPPEN AND WILL! So we are leaving tomorrow to the Collegiate Peaks to hang out, set up camp, and get well rested for our hike on Saturday EARLY morning (like 5:30). The inlaws are in town to watch the little one so it will just be us two trying to do this together. I am charging my IPOD as we speak. I didnt think my pandora would work all the way up, nor would I have any battery left, so we will see how the playlists work out for the hike! I will keep you posted on my journey and hopefully report something back on my birthday when we pull up in the driveway......... love you all!

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Law Of Attraction Calendar So my personal trainer and now BFF brought me over a book on the 4th of July and it has already changed my thinking. I'm sure some of you may have heard of it, but if not, its call "The Law of Attraction" by Esther and Jerry Hicks. It is SUCH a good book. I am only into part 2 of the book, but have learned a lot from it so far. The whole book talks about having 3 parts in your life that will transform any and every soul who uses it correctly. The first is The Law of Attraction. The second is Science of Deliberate Creation and third, Art of Allowing. I cannot speak on which I have not read, but so far, the law of attraction has really made me stop and think about my life. The law of attraction means that which is like unto itself, is drawn. This translates to what you are feeling, thinking, fearing, etc will come true. If you are dwelling on having no money verses thinking of prosperity and happiness, money will always be an issue. If you are thankful for all that you have and feel blessed, the same will come to you. I have been analyzing my own life and realize how much I have been focused on what I dont have or want, verses thinking about how blessed I am to have a home...food on the table....a beautiful daughter...and a husband who loves me unconditionally. So my thoughts to you are........THINK ABOUT WHO YOU WANT TO BE EVERYDAY......EVERYTIME YOU ARE FEELING DOWN.....AND FEEL BLESSED FOR WHAT YOU HAVE AND THE WONDERFUL PERSON YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF FOR!

Sleep walking

So last night I found myself sleep walking...............CRAZY. I think it has only happened maybe 3 times, but pretty scary still. I went upstairs to go to bed, and then woke up downstairs in the spare bedroom.....My husband said I sat up and started to take the sheets off the bed......came down the stairs to the main level and stood by a window.............then went downstairs to go to sleep...............OMG!!!! I cant believe it and am just glad I was able to walk down the stairs and not fall! Has this happened to you?
