Been awhile...

It's been awhile since I posted. So I figured I'd get back on track!!! It's been a struggle this last week...trying to figure out what I'm doing...if I'm following WW right...if it's for me...if I'm succeeding...UGH...been tough. Not to mention...the food we have in "food storage" and around our house...are NOT the healthiest, non-processed foods...so it's been an adjustment for me to find things to make or eat that aren't TOO many points. Being poor and having very little money to spend on groceries...makes it kinda hard to actually have the fresh produce and all that around...but oh well...such is life right!! I can still make it work...

Anyways...I taught Zumba last night...I took last week off because of shin splints...and it was GREAT being back out there!!! I love that class...I love the energy...it's awesome!!! The people there are such examples to me...and they just keep coming back...and it's GREAT!!!! I had 41 there I think...it's hard to count and teach and dance and listen to the music all at the same time!! But it's been a good experience for me. AND...I got a message from a very sweet lady at class...thanking me for what I do and how it's helped her. It felt GREAT...cuz you always hear that you ARE helping people...but it's not always from the actual people...so it meant a lot to me!!!

Life is a roller-coaster...and I'm trying to enjoy the FUN parts of it lately...I can't be getting down on myself or things...because it's just not worth it...but I need to continue to go forward and do what I CAN!!! 

Here's a cute picture of my kiddos...I just love them...and I want to get and be healthy...so I can be an example to them!!!

P.S...I lost another pound this week...so that's 5 lbs since starting Weight Watchers...YAY :)

good job! you keep it up! You should look into bountiful baskets for produce to keep in your house. We do it and I really like it, but sometimes you have to get creative with the stuff they give you.
