This is my FIRST year to have a REAL Valentine :-)

And Mr. Awesome was a GOOD Valentine!

He searched HIGH and LOW for some dark chocolate chocolate assortments (apparently they are HARD to find) But he got me those...plus a few other awesome things...

Yup sitting on the coach waiting for me when i got home after my early morning workout.

and we have a date at the gym later :-)

I do have a pretty Awesome Mr. Awesome! 

He def has dealt with me and my busy schedule and my 2nd home at the gym.

Bbbbbbuuuutttttt

to those ladies who do not have a Valentine this year

So from Mr. Awesome and I...

Happy Heart Day!!

I def LOVE my followers and anyone else who stops by my blogs!

With out you guys i would not be able to share my random life events and health and fitness journey.

I have a habit of finding quotes that i can post at my desk or in my phone on those days that i need a little motivation or inspiration

I have a HUGE list of them and i have been sharing/sending some to friends of mine who also need a little motivation when they are having a bad day. So i thought to myself...why not share them with you guys!

"Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterward."

"The impossible is often the untried."

"Don't let yesterday use up too much of today."

"Sickness is felt, but health not at all."

"We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails."

"Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath."

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

Love like you'll never be hurt,

Sing like there's nobody listening,

And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Just remember that there is always tomorrow. No matter how BIG or small the problem is.

You will find a way to overcome!

I know i am a eternal optimist...but i like being that way!

Whenever i come across a problem or something does not go right...yes i am sad for just a bit...but then i start trying to figure out ways to fix my problem or to make an alternative move to get past my problems.  I know that is not easy for everyone but you can and WILL overcome anything life will throw at you

Hope you guys are having an amazing weekend :-)

T.G.I.F!!!

I am not sure how you feel about today but i am SO happy that it is Friday!

It has been a VERY VERY busy week for me! 

*sigh* 

BUT today is Friday! So now i have the weekend to somewhat relax

SO TRUE!

YOU have to want it in order to make your goals/dreams come true!

No one else can do it for you!
All of your hard work WILL pay off...but you have to put in the work first!

If you want it bad enough you will change you"i can't" or "i won't" to "I CAN" and "I WILL"

Stop making excuses...start making time and start making a commitment to YOURSELF to reach your goals

"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere."

This is a perfect quote for the pictures that i would like to share with you guys today!

Over the last month i had the pleasure of going on a few mini-vacations with some of my closest friends.

For my followers that have been here a while...My friends are like my family!

We all get along very well...very little drama...and when we get together it is a guaranteed GOOD time!

i recently went to Chicago!!

This is what i got to do...

yup...I WENT TO A LAKERS GAME!!!

We has AMAZING seats!!!

Sadly my Lakers lost...but it was a good game AND a good mini vacation to Chicago

I also got to go to a concert with some of my Best Gals!

We got to go see Lady Gaga (yes i know :-/  I was not a big fan of hers...to be honest i only new a few songs...needless to say it was a GREAT concert! she is def a performer and she interacts so much with all of her fans!)

My friends already know how much they mean to me and i LOVE each of them so much!

I just wish everyone has the chance to find some amazing friends to spend some time with!
They have been there through thick and thin...and i could not imagine life without them!  It is only February and we have already done some much!! We have so much already planned for this year...so please...stay tuned for more pics :-)

(how do you guys like the new banner for Friday FITspiration !?!? :-) )

Do you see those great "100 Calorie" boxed foods

or the "100 Calories Snack Packs"

That they have at the store?

Yes they are great!! And they help you with controlling the portions that you eat

buuuuut...

the only downfall...

they are usually MORE expensive OR you can never find the snack packs in you favorite snack

Well...i have a great suggestion for you!

CREATE YOUR OWN SNACK PACKS!

All you have to do is:

(1)  get a bag of your favorite HEALTHY snack

(2)  get some of the small plastic sandwich bags (or Tupperware containers) 

(3)  look on the BACK of your snack option and look at the nutritional information tag.  Find HOW MUCH one serving size is (like 22 chips/candies/etc)

(4)  put that many items in those plastic bags 

(5)  store them in your cabinet or fridge

and thats it!

You have made your very own 100 Calorie or Snack Pack!

I honestly do this when I do get chips or other things that I have to monitor how much I have.

It makes it easy so you are not tempted to "eat just a few more"

And you save money by not having to buy the already separated packs at the store!

Hope this was a helpful FITspiration tip!

Check back next week for more tips and motivation!
Have a Happy Healthy Weekend!
