<br />
April 2014 I weighed 142 and wore a size 4/6. May I found out I was pregnant with my second son. I was excited but at the same time stressed because I had just went from a 12 to my 4/6 after my first son. Loosing weight after kids is SO not easy. January I decided to get serious and try and loose the rest of this baby weight. I had finally gotten life into a routine and it was go time. I started out at 169 and a size 10. I went to boot-camp 4-5x a week and cut out fast food and soda from my diet completely. Well then summer vacation hit and having kids home 7 days a week with me and having one playing Allstar Baseball has led to more convenience rather than healthy. So today, I am starting out at a size 8 and 162lbs.<br />
<br />
I have decided to try and do intermittent fasting for the first go round. A friend of mine recommended <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Delay-Dont-Deny-Intermittent-Lifestyle-ebook/dp/B01N4JHL1P" target="_blank">this</a> book and it has me hooked.<br />

So starting tomorrow I will be giving it a try!! I will try and post at least every other day and update on how my eating is going and how I am feeling. I will do weekly weigh ins on Friday. I figure Fridays are best because my worst eating always happens over the weekend. I will post start up pictures this Friday as well! Wish me luck!<br />

I love it! I love painting or fixing things up. It is totally up my "alley" as my hubby would say. I am a sucker for buying lottery tickets so over the weekend hubby told me to stop and get some Powerball tickets. Well I couldn't resist and got a scratch off while I was at it. We like to play the $20 ones. I won $100! I was so excited. I used that money to buy a piece to refinish and then to buy some supplies I knew I would need for this and future projects. On my local garage sale site I found a cute table for $15. A steal right? I was so sad when I realized I didn't take a before picture. It was solid wood though.<br />
<br />
We went a picked it up and brought it home. Hubby sanded it (which was optional but it had some scuffs so we wanted to make it more evened out) then I began painting. One coat didn't seem to be enough.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpPiCApN3VWSbpOiP5cmi73_4yYrmg3ImwTAzFMmo-J1neYpSt5xjlfIt85nu0W82TP_XHUPE32XLYFrPgIMbJdTgtwJZNn9fuuY8tHdGrOloUJajwqDDAYO50-0killut4jNW5sFRhWU/s1600/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpPiCApN3VWSbpOiP5cmi73_4yYrmg3ImwTAzFMmo-J1neYpSt5xjlfIt85nu0W82TP_XHUPE32XLYFrPgIMbJdTgtwJZNn9fuuY8tHdGrOloUJajwqDDAYO50-0killut4jNW5sFRhWU/s320/unnamed.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
So I did a second coat...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpELO5e0E-CK5EUcXwhpo7LAL8_hFgahyphenhyphenUNwVITCHzVjdWFMK9NUIoiR4vsgc4uIhtHub2QOn_cZo6UvY3qLMx1Omd-BNpg3II_nQ6d9-OgSafAHpuj1b8_4cRCCzMCMYhDDDrbR_I_Mk/s1600/unnamed+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpELO5e0E-CK5EUcXwhpo7LAL8_hFgahyphenhyphenUNwVITCHzVjdWFMK9NUIoiR4vsgc4uIhtHub2QOn_cZo6UvY3qLMx1Omd-BNpg3II_nQ6d9-OgSafAHpuj1b8_4cRCCzMCMYhDDDrbR_I_Mk/s320/unnamed+%25281%2529.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
And finally a third coat. I think the third time was a charm for this piece. Each one will be different depending on the color and look you are trying to achieve. We let it dry for 24 hours and then while I was at work hubby sanded it and waxed/sealed it. Here is the final product.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I think it turned out great! I am so excited! We have about $30 invested in this piece and I am trying to sell it for $50. Hoping it sells well and we can do this on the side to make a little extra money. :)<br />
<br />
Have you ever tried to chalk paint anything? How did you like it?<br />

Hope to see you tomorrow :)<br />

I had the opportunity to get a free pack of KozyShack Indulgent Pudding from BzzAgent. I had heard of KozyShack before but I had never tried them. They recently came out with a new line called "Indulgent Recipe". I generally like pudding so figured I would give it try. When I got to Target I noticed they had chocolate, vanilla and salted caramel. I am a huge sucker for fall flavors so of course I went with the salted caramel. Speaking of, have you tried the new Greek yogurt that is salted caramel flavor? Its to die for! Love it! I enjoyed that one so much so I got the same flavor in pudding. Look how yummy it looks. <br />
<br />

<br />
When I got home I quickly tried it. I mean it looked so good, I just didn't want to wait. My first thought when opening the package was the pudding looks thick. Surely there was an air bubble in there right? Nope. Just really thick pudding. Right then I knew I wouldn't be a frequent buyer because I am a total texture freak when it comes to food. Can't help it. But I do have to say the flavor was on point! I loved the caramel flavor. These would be the perfect "in bed, watching a movie and relaxing" type snack.<br />

I am back from hiatus. So much has happened over the last 3 years... wow has it really been that long? Guess so. We are now a family of 4. Which makes my heart so happy. We welcomed "papoose" December 2014. Hubby got a job closer to home and I have been working on getting my personal trainer certificate. I will be certified in December of this year. I was just accepted to start back at our local university in January so I can finish my degree in management and then the plan is to get my masters in teaching. Life got a little rocky last year but this year seems to be amazing so far!<br />

We took the boys to Disney for their first time over the spring and now I am trying to take them back as much as possible. The goose loves it. I took him and a friend of mine and her little boy there this past weekend. We all had a blast. Now to plan Octobers trip. ;)<br />

I recently started training to run my first half marathon. I want to do the RunDisney race in February. It's been a goal of mine and recently I started a "30 by 30" list (which I will post more about later) and it is one of my goals.<br />
<br />
We have recently made a couple changes around the house. With everything going on the past couple years I slacked off a bit. Not anymore. We painted our front door turquoise instead of the maroon that it was. And I bought <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/olivia-star-pendant/?pkey=clighting-lanterns-outdoor%7Cpendants-sconces-outdoor%7C&&clighting-lanterns-outdoor|pendants-sconces-outdoor|">this</a> CUTE outdoor light from Pottery Barn. I am in LOVE. It is a little hard to see from the road but when you get up to the porch it is beautiful. Seems to flow perfectly with the new door.<br />

Sure is cute isn't it! Getting ready to take little man to gymnastics practice. Afterwards, getting my hair done. First time since May! How crazy! I used to go every 3-4 weeks for highlights but life has been way to crazy lately. We are thinking of taking man to the local fair this weekend. He has never been big enough to ride the rides before so we haven't taken him to one since he was 3 months old. Bet he will love it. :) The big state fair is in two weeks and we are def. doing that one. Looking forward to fall! I love to make homemade pumpkin pie's and decorating. Best time of year! <br />
<br />
What is your favorite time of year?<br />

I have purchased my domain name! Pretty soon I will be live at <a href="http://www.chaoticcantrells.com/">www.chaoticcantrells.com</a> I will able to do a little more with the site then and much better organization. I also can't wait to play with the look and feel of the site. This one always just seems so jumbled up, but I can't do too much with blogger. At least I don't think I can. :) Oh yea and I will be on wordpress. Very exciting! <a name='more'></a>I hope to have the new site up and running in the next couple weeks. It will be my little project I work on. We are expecting Hurrican Isaac here though this week so it may get pushed back a bit. Hoping for good weather though. But from what I have been told we are in direct path so pray! :) <br />

I am going back to work on my accounting degree... this time... I have changed it SO many times but I am almost done so lets hope that I just finish this one before switching. :) <br />
<a name='more'></a>It amazes me how much the school bookstores can charge you for your textbooks. It's like robbery! I was looking and for my 5 classes, my textbooks would be $940. Ridiculous! I will be bargain shopping online for some cheaper books for sure. I LOVE to use Big Words. They allow you to price compare all the major textbook websites.
<br />
Little man got BIG BOY underwear last night. He was so happy. We got him the package that has all the different Disney Pixar movies. He loves Pixar movies. On the way home last night he inisted that he held them and he wouldn't take his eyes off them. It was super cute. :)
<br />
My hubby's birthday is coming up. I hate when I have to shop for him, actually I love it and tend to buy him too much, but only because I don't know what he WANTS. I always know what he needs but times like your birthday you should get WANTS fulfilled. Thats my opinion anyways. He's not in to techy type stuff, and I feel like he owns every hunting thing know to man already. No clue. Any suggestions? :)

Looking forward to it though. Tomorrow little man starts his first day at Gymnastics. He is very excited. We have to watch the olympics every night so he can watch "Gymnastics". I will certainly take and post a picture or two of him. :)
<br />
<a name='more'></a>We are going to the grand opening of a local ice cream shop called "Two Scoops". They will have BOGO ice cream, a monster truck, bounce house and more. I figure after all his "working out" at gymnastics he can get a treat and have a little more fun.
I am hosting a Girls Night Out party at my house Sat evening. I have signed up to sell Paparazzi Jewlrey. It is a great company to sell for and to be a customer for. Everything is only $5! How great is that? I will have some of that for sale but it is mostly an adult evening. I am hoping to just relax and have fun with some old friends. Really looking forward to it.
Sunday we are taking monkey to my sister-in-laws pool. As long as it doesn't rain. I swear it seems to rain everyday lately.
I haven't forgotten about my Organization Piece I want to do on Fridays. Life has been so hectic but today I was able to DEEP clean my house. Now I can begin to organize my house. Hubby is looking forward to this piece. We shall see.

I will have to give y'all a little recap of my chaotic month. <a name='more'></a>
<br />
My hubby and I went on an "adult" trip to the beach for my birthday with some family and friends. We had so much fun! I was a little sad to leave monkey at home but at the same time it was nice to get away with him and enjoy our time together. When we got back monkey had to do a 24 hour EEG study. He has been having a lot of seizures lately and we can't really seem to figure out why. Even on his meds. So they upped his medicine doseage and then we still have another week to wait for the results. Stressful in itself. Then last weekend I was admitted to the hospital because I got so sick. It was AWFUL! There for two nights and two days. Never did figure out exactly what was going on. So grateful to feel better and be back home with monkey though.
Onto <b> EXCITING </b> news!! I have been chosen to participate in the NCP. I don't know what exactly it will entail but I am very excited! I know they send a scanner and you scan everything you buy, then send it to them via your wireless. Earn points, earn prizes.
I am going to be participating in the Magnolia Run on Aug. 25. The proceeds go to help the Epilepsy foundation. I will be pushing Carson in his jogging stroller. He loves when we go "runnin" as he calls it. He loves to tell me to go faster... of course he would when he just kicks back and drinks his applesauce. ;)
Hope to be back writing daily!
XOXO

So everyone these days is in the Mustache craze. Well <b>The Posh Shoppe </b> has a Mustache Koozie. They have several different colors to choose from. I choose pink. My favorite color. :)

See how cute she even decorates the packaging. They are really made great and keep your drinks cool. Hand washing is recommended, just an FYI if any of y'all get them. I do that and it stays looking PERFECT.
<p> I am looking forward to using it at the beach... on my birthday at that! So excited.
<p>
Check out her Etsy Shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThePoshShoppe">here</a>.

<b> UPDATE!!!!! </b> The shop has run out of koozies so it will now be a $10 store credit for the winner. SO SORRY for any confusion!

I had an opportunity to interview Vanessa Hodge with Ruffles With Love. Love her shirts. If you haven't checked her Etsy store out, you should do so!
<p>
1. How did you come up with Ruffles with Love? The actual name Ruffles with Love my fiance came up with when we were brainstorming names one night! I love ruffles and anything girly so he just ran with it and thats how we got the name! The actual idea to do workout shirts came from me needing to be getting in shape for my November wedding and needing cute shirts to motivate me! I absolutely LOVE bows and could never find anything with bows to go running in, I am to old to wear them in my hair so I had to incorporate them somewhere :)
<p>
2. How long have you been in business? I have been in business since January of this year.
<p>
3. Which shirt is your favorite? I have a couple lol, Break a Sweat is my number 1 favorite and Sweating for the Dress
<p>
4. Why? Break a Sweat was the first shirt I ever made and sold so it will always be my favorite and the one that motivates me daily! I have it framed in my office so I can be reminded everyday of how lucky I am to have made my shirts into something I am so proud of! Sweating for the dress was another one created by my my fiance and its so catchy and creative that I always get so many compliments on it! Its such a fun shirt and so easy to personalize!
<p>
5. What is something unique about your products that people may not know? I am involved in every shirt made, I do have some help now (yay) but still have a hard time letting go of the making of them because I want them to be perfect and for everyone to love them as much as I do!
<p>
All of her shirts can be found at her store <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/RufflesWithLove?ref=seller_info">here</a>

Well, with the holidays and everything else my life has been CHAOTIC to say the least. Oh and my phone was stolen on the 4th so I have to re-take all of my giveaway photos! Crazy, I know. Oh well. We had fun and I hope all of you did too.
<p>
So my exciting news for today is I am down 10 pounds in a week! Almost 12 since I started my Body by Vi. I love this stuff! I will forever swear by it. Insane?! I know. I am just super happy!
