Taking the plunge...


Do you remember this post? As you all know by now, like many of you, I put things off or say I will do it in a few months.  I fully know I am NEVER going to actually do it all because I am afraid I will fail at doing it. Kinda like the blog situation. I had wanted to start a blog for as long as I can remember but was terrified no one would read it. Look, you are reading and hopefully loving it! If nothing else one day my little loves will read all about their crazy but oh so fabulous momma so either way it is a win/win situation, right?

Which bring me to this.... I have been somewhat obsessed with Zumba. In fact, I am pretty sure many of my friends and family think I have a problem. Here's the deal. I lost ALL of my third child baby weight because of it. Many of you know losing the third child extra baby weight is enough to make you want to jump off a cliff. {not really but you get my point} I have always loved to dance and always loved/had to exercise. This for me was the perfect mixture. So, I have been going to classes for about 9 months now and love it just as much if not more than when I took my first class. It makes me feel young. It gives me energy. It keeps me in shape. It lets me dance. So, instead of saying I am going to do something and NEVER do it I want to tell you I am getting certified in March. Why am I telling you this? Because this means I can't back out if I get nervous or start to doubt myself. Failure isn't an option.

Here's the deal... People have already asked me when and where I will be teaching. I am fabulous and love to dance so I would want to come to my own class. {I kid. I kid.} I have no plans as of right now to teach BUT I am praying that doors open up for me to teach if that is what I am supposed to do. I want other women to enjoy exercise and most importantly enjoy their bodies. Nobody can make you take care of yourself. YOU have to do it. YOU have to take the time and put in the effort. As moms we always put everyones needs in front of our own. We have to take care of ourselves and our bodies or we wont be here to help everyone else.

I could stay on that soapbox for a long time. I will keep you all posted. In the mean time go try out Zumba and if it's not for you that's fine... just do something active! You deserve it and believe me you will thank me later when you are feeling fabulous and looking hott!

Failure Isn't An Option.

So, that means I have to succeed. Right?
That's a lot of pressure. Do you ever feel the pressure more days than others? 
This is the week day for me.
 I'm yelling at my boys too much. My patience level is non existent at this point. 
I'm complaining to much. 
I am just over it. 
Not good. {I know!}  
I feel like I am kind of good at a lot of things but not really GREAT at one thing. 
It's so frustrating to me. 
I don't feel like I am failing at things but I don't feel like I am succeeding.
Frustrated.
I have a million different things going through my head. 
Do I get certified in Zumba
Do I go to a blog conference to try and become a better blogger? 
Do I do nothing? 
Do I try to start up a "Conceptual Photography Theme" business? 
I know the answer is pray about it. 
I feel like I want someone to just tell me that this one thing I will be GREAT at.
 Not mediocre. Not good enough. Not barely breathing. 
GREAT.
I don't know... maybe it's just one of those days. 
Thanks for letting me vent. {you kind of didn't have a choice}. 
When you get like this {if you don't please just lie to me and say you do}. 
What do you do to get out of your funk?
