Weigh In Day!

Even though it is only day 3, i chose to make Friday my weigh in day...also.. doesn't help that we are doing the "Live Healthy Challenge" at work and Friday is the weigh in day for that...ANY-HOOT!

I lost 2 lbs this week! 

Which is wonderful! I really feel great about this time...it is only day 3 but i think my head finally checked back in, where my heart has always been, in the weight loss journey!! Lets hope it is for good! I am only going to take it day by day because i do not want to set myself up for failure!

I made a goal a couple of weeks ago, it was to not leave the house with out makeup...because everyday I felt like this:

It seemed like no matter how much coffee I was drinking or how early i would go to bed...nothing helped...every time i looked in the mirror i was defeated. So I made the goal to always wear makeup...

I am going to introduce you to me....here is a before and after, not much of a difference you may think...but when you look into a mirror it makes all the difference in the world...

My name is Shasta, I am 28 years old, I have an almost 3 year old daughter. I am a single mom. DB is my, world, my heart and my soul! I work full time then come home and take care of my baby! She is a huge part/reason I HAVE/NEED to get healthy! I hope I can inspire some of you through my journey. I know there is going to be some ups and some downs, but i am only human and i will be taking this day by day!

This weeks goal: 

I am going to try to write a blog every week day...Monday through Friday....

Hope you all have a great weekend!

There is only one week until christmas, this will be DB's 3rd Christmas. It is so crazy to see the change in children as they grow up. I am so excited for next weekend <3


Today is my 5 year anniversary with the company I work for. This is the longest job I have had to date. I was just thinking that jobs are like relationships...my job and I have had our up and most defiantly our downs, I have grown with my job and I have watched my company grow. I am thankful for my job. I am going to keep positive in 2012 and hope my company sales increase :)


I found a blog www.daddyslittlegrill.blogspot.com it is about a woman who lost her father in January 2011 due to suicide. It is her daily struggles. I read every one of her blog entry's and you can just see the strength grow in her over this past year. January 19th will be the 1st anniversary of her daddy passing maybe if you guys could keep her in your thoughts or go leave her a comment may help her ease through this time. Also if you have lost someone due to suicide or know someone who may be thinking of taking their life, I truly feel that this may help you or them. To know you are not alone.


Since today is Sunday DB and I don't have much planned. Just have to get up and get the laundry started and then we have to go to bed bath and beyond which will be interesting. Hopefully we wont have to fight the crowds too much lol.


I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend so far!!!
