workouts!

Okay so i've started to "work out" and must say...you really don't know how out of shape you are till you try to do something like power walk or sit ups! I'm soooo sore right now! But hopefully it will pay off in the end!! I am excited to get the stamina and health back! I NEED it to catch up with my daughter thats for sure lol!

Weight loss vlog # 3!

Okay so i did another quick vlog! Sorry i haven't been on here i've been super busy!! So i wanted to do a day to day blog of weight loss and its just so hard to try and do that because its so time consuming! But i decided a weekly vlog will be just as good!! Hope everyone's day is going great!!

Questions

Well i hope everyone is having a GREAT day!! I have a few issues i want to touch on and would really really love some feedback!

As you may know, we have a beautiful little girl, who turned 1 1/2 today!! Well we have been having a problem lately. She has extreme separation anxiety, If i leave her she starts CRYING! When we attend church we take her to the nursery and one of us has to stay with her because if we leave she just cries her poor little eyes out :*(. My question is, has anyone dealt with this issue? I feel like such a terrible parent when and if i leave her crying :( Could anyone give me some advice on how they dealt with this? I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!!

My other thing is, I HAVE separation anxiety. Well i guess its basically at night...I have our daughter sleeping in the same bed with me..I know a lot of people frown upon it but this anxiety has been a HUGE deal in my life right now. I have the worst feeling that if i put my daughter in her own bed that something awful is going to happen to her like an earthquake is going to happen and i wont be able to get to her fast enough, or like someone is going to abduct her or shes going to get injured somehow! Crazy, yes i know but this is how i feel! Also when i have put her in her bed she wakes up in the middle of the night crying and screaming as if she was scared! So has anyone had this issue and if so what would you recommend i do?

This is really hard for me to put out there because i know people will judge me...i just kindly ask that you keep your harshness to yourselves because this took a lot for me to do! So if you have anything that might help me please please please...I'd LOVE to hear it!! Thank you all again!

<3 Denise

Weight loss vlog #2

Alrighty! I was supposed to do this yesterday but i've been sick :( I decided to do it today anyways because it needs to be done! So here is my SHORT vlog!

This week will be rough for me...this is the weight that i'm always stuck at, the one i can never seem to get over! So Wish me luck! I'm going to NEED it!! But on the other hand I LOST WEIGHT!! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

Lots to catch up on!!

Well I haven't been on here for a few days now! I have had such a busy week that I didn't have time to log on and blog!

Well we went to California Adventure on Friday with my family and we had a blast! So much things to see and something for everyone in the family! I got on a few rides as did my husband. We actually got to ride the tower of terror together because Ezri was asleep! * I'll be posting later on the separation anxiety issue with ezri later* Any who we had so much fun and I ACTUALLY DID GREAT on my diet!! There were so many "bad" things to eat at California Adventure but I passed on a lot of them! I even drank water instead of soda most of the time!! So the diet was a success on friday! Here's a few pictures from Friday! Enjoy!!

Saturday was Also a very busy day! My little sister Mia had her 6th birthday party! It was so awesome seeing her with all her friends! She had such a blast and so did I! Its amazing how fast they grow up!! Time flies by so fast!

Well today was Father's Day! I woke Ezri up to give Chris his Father's Day present! It was so adorable!! She gave him his card first then she gave him his present!  We then headed out to church for an amazing service! Afterwards we went to the beach! It was Ezri's first time at the beach and she was scared of the sand! She kept jumping on us so she wouldn't have to touch it lol. Then she fell asleep for the majority of the time! All in all i'd say it was a GREAT Father's Day!
Here are some pictures! <3

 Ezri Writing in daddy's father's day card! :)

 She gave him his present! <3

This was his present :)

Heading to church! <3

 

We had such a blast! I hope everyone's father's day was as awesome as ours!!

Weight Loss Journey Day 3!!

Well today was a pretty darn good day if i do say so myself! I can't help but feel like i'm doing such an amazing thing for myself and for my family! The diet i am on *which is weight watchers* is such an amazing "diet." I have substituted bad greasy foods with a salad and it fills me up! I did so good today too! We went to sonic to get some drinks *which i got a diet dr. pepper* and i was soooooooo tempted to get a greasy delicious super sonic cheeseburger with tots and gravy! But I took CONTROL and DIDN'T!! I know it doesn't sound like much but if you know me then you know that cheeseburgers are my weakness!! So i'm very excited about that!! I hope it shows on the scale next week!! I will be going on regular walks every tuesday and thursday with Sue and Jax, and Ezri of coures :P! I will be trying my hardest to exercise at least 4 times a week! The New Denise has ARRIVED!!!

30 day challenge!

Day 29- A picture that can always make you smile

I see this picture and can't help but smile and even cry! My baby girl was sooo small in this picture..i believe she was about a week old in this picture! Its amazing how fast they grow! I look through her pictures often and then stare at her and i go into shock lol. We are so blessed with such a beautiful, healthy, sweet, loving, and amazing baby girl *ahem i mean Toddler*

Weight Loss Journey Day 2!!

This post was actually meant for yesterday but i was super busy! Ezri and I went for a nice walk with my friend Sue and her adorable little boy! It was so hot outside too! So i know i burned off some calories! I seriously need a new stoller though! Poor Ezri was bouncing up and down like if she was off-roading lol poor baby!
I Had a GREAT lunch! An amazing salad from wendy's and it wasn't even that many points so SCORE!! Later on that evening I decided it was time to exercise with my zumba for the kinect! I took some pictures lol I'm such a dork!

haha a silly pose in the bathroom

pre- workout

my workout buddy

Mid- workout

End workout! 

I was Exhausted!!!! 45 minutes of non stop dancing is INTENSE!!

So all in all i'd say day 2 was a success!! <3

Day 28- A picture of something you're afraid of!


Well to be honest i'm pretty much a chicken! Who would've thunk it right? Well i am scared of quite a few things so I am going to post my Top 3! 


1. I am soooooo afraid of clowns!! They freak me out! I can barely walk by a clown *seriously ask my husband and friends* They FREAK ME OUT!!! 
I am having second thoughts about posting this picture lol 
*warning scary clown below!*
























2. I am afraid of storm drains! Thanks to that clown up there! I can't walk on a storm drain and my husband does it on purpose lol that punk! Seriously I am sooo scared of drains!! Both of these drains creep me out!! I'm so scared i'll fall in or something lol

3. I am afraid of heights!! You can't get me to go on anything that is super high! I know i'm weird I can even go on rollercoasters but other than that heck no! I freak out!! you probably can't ever take me to the grand canyon or to the eiffel tower which is a bummer because they're such beautiful places but I like having both feet SAFELY on the GROUND WHERE THEY BELONG!! LOL
*btw the people who let this kid do this are CRAZY!! lol*

Weight Loss Journey Day 1!

Okay so i just realized that Its pretty hard to put a bunch of stuff on different "pages" like the weight loss journey! It doesn't allow posts on them so It looks like i'll have to post everything on the normal blog page which is the one you're reading right now!

Day 1

Well the day wasn't too bad...although I know i have a rough week ahead of me! The first weeks are the absolute hardest and whats going to make it even tougher is we are going to California Adventure on Friday...We have 2 parties on Saturday and Sunday is Father's Day! What a week to begin weight loss huh?  Anyways today was pretty okay! I took Ezri swimming so i got a little exercise there and we were going to walk the park but ended up letting Ezri play cause she was all excited lol. I logged all my food onto weight watchers.com and I have to be honest..when i start a diet for some reason it makes me want to eat more! So i am TRYING my HARDEST to not give into the cravings and whatnot! Like i said this weekend is going to be BUSY but the great thing about weight watchers is that you get to eat whatever you want! you just have to log it in and mark your points down! So wish me luck this weekend!  Lets see what Day 2 brings!!

30 Day challenge!

haha, okay i'm gonna have fun with this one! Because honestly i think things happen for a reason and it was God's will so i don't think i would change a thing!

I know my mom tried her hardest at making us look nice but now that i look back at this picture i cant help but laugh!!  We had ridiculous hair and shirts! Also i would've changed that unibrow i have lmbo!! but in all honesty that was the style back then and my mom did a WONDERFUL job!! hehe i hope you enjoyed the good laugh you got from looking at this picture! *by the way i'm the one in the red haha*
