Gym Time!

There are so many days I look at myself and hate that I used to be a what many would call a "gym rat" and now not so much. I would literally spend at least 2 harcore hours in the gym Monday-Saturday. It was a journey that began with me being able to getaway from the little #hulligans for 2 hours a day while the hubby was away working overseas or out-of-state. It lead me to losing lots of fat and gaining more muscle (Just hard work and eating right), and many great friendships. At one point, I was heavily considering walking the stage to do an National Physique Competition! I can honestly say, looking back I wasn't happy with the response I was getting. I didn't want the extra attention and I struggled emotionally for awhile. I just wanted to be me.

2012 2013

This past year I made a re-commitment to join the gym and get back to a healthier me. I knew Planet Fitness would be running a New Year Special, and that I could work at least the $10/mth fee into my budget. After checking out the website, I loved that for a little more I could also get unlimited tanning sessions, hyrdobed massages, half-price cooler drinks, and massage chair time, and a free PF T-shirt so I went for the $21.99/mth option. Some of the PF gyms even offer free haircuts and unlimited total body enhancement!

Oh, and for a bonus with the PF Black Card membership, you can bring a guest for free! So, one of my younger sisters has been tagging along with me, and it's been great motivation! Right now through Friday, April 13th, they are offering $5 down, $10 month OR $0 down, $21/month! So if you're looking for a home gym, come give them a try!

Today

Fast forward to today, I've gained quite a bit of the fat back over the past few years and these days I'm lucky if I get in 3 days of a hard workout, but guess what?! I'm okay with that. I just want to be healthy--for my husband, for my kids, for myself. I want to be a good role model for them I want them to know there is no perfect size, but there is a way to be happy & healthy without all the craziness. Just walking a couple miles on the treadmill everyday, it's a chance for me to clear my mind and get away for a little bit. I could still stand to lose some extra pounds, but I love me and my family loves me no matter what so my words today: Be happy being you, not how others want you to be!

Free Museum Admission for EBT and WIC Recipients

So I know anytime someone mentions EBT, some folks can get their panties in a bunch. But let's be real. People work, people have families, and sometimes that job doesn't cover all the bills and it often comes to a point where you have to choose to pay Bills or Food. And if you're having to choose between those 2 big questions, there's no doubt that a fun, educational family trip to the museum is freely scheduled on your agenda. (Insert sarcasm) :p If you happen to find yourself asking these questions, you may qualify for assistance. Please contact by phone or this link: 2-1-1 to see what benefits you and/or your family may be eligible for. Did you know that there are several places that actually allow you free, or reduced, admission when you show your card and/or proof of eligibility throughout the U.S.A. through Museums for All , a national initiative that encourages families to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum habits. When going, I would
