Today I am coming clean…

not to be confused with….going clean.

Uh..yeah….That ain’t ganna happen.

What I’m actually referring to is…coming clean.

as in….

I must confess.

I’ve been on a bad bad road lately.

Slipping back into old ways. Losing sight of new ones.

It’s pretty much been a binge fest in Nina’s world.

I’ve been stuffing my face like there’s no tomorrow & being

L.      A.      Z       Y.

It’s soooo hard to make this healthy stuff into a lifestyle.

It just seems like it’s ALWAYS something.

If you haven’t noticed from my lack of blogging lately..my life has been nutso crazy busy.

Like fo reals.

& of course one of the first things I let slide is Project: Me.

I got into a good little schedule of going to the track to do the Couch 2 5K thing for about a hot minute. Then dentist appts, rain, kid’s games, & the rest of life came up. And now….now I don’t go.

I was staying away from fast food, watching my calories, & trying to only put semi-healthy crap in my face hole.  And now…now I just eat whatev. I halfway acknowledge the calories…as in…dayyyyyummmm that’s gotta lotta cals…oh well…in with the yumminess!

And now. I find myself gaining weight instead of losing.

I was sooo happy with how things were going. I know I’m tired of starting over.

I know that LIFE has soo much to do with why I get off track. But sooo much more is my attitude. My mood. ME.

I gotta get muh head back in the game. I gotta make it a priority again. I gotta get back on track & stay on track.

I did treat myself to a little inspiration to help me on this never ending journey….

If you follow me on Instagram you saw me working on this…

I ordered three lockets…one dedicated to muh babies. one to muh man. & one to ME.

In the one for me… I got 2 charms & a dangle to remind me I CAN do the two major things that are important to me to accomplish. A running shoe charm to remind me of my weight loss & running journey. And a laptop charm to remind me of my blog which I LOVE & want to grow.

I CAN do these things. AnD I WILL do these things.

It might take me time & a million do-overs….but I will get there.

Like I said…ESPECIALLY on the diet thing…I’ve gotta get my head BACK in the game. Gotta get BACK ON TRACK.

And it starts NOW.

LoL. J/K.

Obvs I start tomorrow.

Because.

ONE.  I made a vow to neva evaaaa start a diet on a Monday again. 

TWO. I need to finish off these today.

OBVS I can’t let the best invention ever made by mankind go to waste.

My beautiful mother!

My wonderful mother-n-law!

And these precious angels who are the reason I have the best job in the world!

Meet Lane.

This precious little face is at Children’s in Dallas fighting for his life.

I went to school with his mother and grew up in 4-H around his extended family.

On Tuesday Lane was in an auto accident.

Please pray for this sweet baby as he lay in critical condition.

This strong little man has overcome so much in his short little life.

He is a cancer survivor.

He is being raised by a good Christian family and I know he will pull through and do great things for The Lord.

Also pray for his mother (and her whole family.)

She needs strength, comfort, & peace as she is by her little boy’s side.

The accident took the life of her mother (Lane’s grandmother)  and her mother’s sister.

This family has lost two love ones in an instant and are now watching another fight for his life.  AGAIN.

This family needs prayer warriors not only to lift them up as they grieve this great loss but to pray for Lane’s healing & recovery.

Friends…will you please pray for this little boy, his mother, and his whole family?

These are sooooo easy your Kindergartner could do it. In fact…be a cool mom for once & LET your Kindergartner do it!
