Motivation Tips

Okay so you know how I asked about how to stay motivated in my last post? Well I have a few tips, tips I'm sure you all know and do.

1. Get some new workout clothes. Has anyone ever been to a sears outlet? Well I went in there the other day and they had a sale going on. All women's apparel for $5, no matter what it was. So I found some really cute workout pants and a couple of tank tops. 2 workout pants and 3 tank tops for just under $20! The tank tops were only $2. So I was excited to get dressed and where my new outfits to the gym.

2. Download some new music. I have these 3 favorite songs that I get really pumped to. So I play them while I'm driving to the gym, and I get all excited, then my last like 6 - 8 mins on either the treadmill or stepper when I'm like ready to call it quits I play them and totally hypes me back up to go the distance and not only go the distance but go hard.

So still no weight loss boo! But still getting up in the morning to go get my sweat on. :) If anyone has more tips please share. Because I'm sure I'll need to figure out something else to motivate me next week. Especially if i'm still at the same weight!

6 years.........

Of eternal bliss. :) Tahri and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary on veterans day. Man we really are the Holiday family. Tahri's born on Christmas, me on valentine's day, Tale on presidents day, Leila (well she is special ha!), and Tylana on 9/11. Not really a holiday but a memorable day for sure.

Our little family that we have created in our 6 years of marriage. I love them all so much! Thanks uncle Jared for babysitting so we could have a peaceful dinner.

Baby Fat

It's never coming off. This third time around it seems so much harder. Maybe it's not breastfeeding this time around??? Who knows but I just spent like 2 weeks in the gym and I gained 2 pounds. Whats that about? So I ended up eating this all by myself. Seriously I did, well with the exception of two, one for Leila and one for Tale. I'm pathetic but it was oh so good. Well there probably goes another 2 pounds. :)How can I stay motivated to keep going to the gym when I get that outcome? I have like 20 pounds to drop. Any suggestions? (besides stay away from the brownies? hahaha)

Blessing Day

Today we blessed our Tylana girl. It was a perfect day! We got an extra hour of sleep, got to church 10 mins early (miracle!!), had our family and friends there, and of course the wonderful spirit was present. Thanks to everyone that participated and came out. I totally forgot about getting Tylana a blessing dress, so we went out on Saturday and pretty much picked out the first white dress that we could find in her size. I wasn't a fan of it, but I was desperate and it was on sale and in price range. But she made it pretty :) Aunty Sili made her a cute little Lei with a gold bow and it totally made the outfit. I wish I had a better picture of it but here is one. Here she is with Tahri's beautiful grandma.

Tahri gave a beautiful blessing and Tylana was good throughout the whole blessing and meeting. Tale wanted to go up and be in the circle too with everyone, but I bribed him with gummy bears. what a mom! :)

Potty Trained!

Okay so my Tale-boi is potty trained. And the best part? I didn't do anything! He trained himself. Just one day he started taking his diaper off and going to the bathroom. And has been doing that ever since. It has been about a month now and no accidents. Well except for one time Chanel's water was spilled by Leila and he thought it would be funny to pee in the water. But other than that, none. He is even sleeping without a diaper at night time. I was sooo dreading the potty training but he made it sooo easy on me!

And the other best part is that Leila is copying him and I bet she will be potty trained in the next few months too. Hopefully Tale trains her for me. ha!

Good Job Son!

I just thought this picture was so cute and funny. We were taking so many pictures and he was tired of saying cheese so he made this face. ha!
