Motivation

I am currently apart of a challenge group to keep me accountable for eating right, doing Insanity & taking measurements along with pictures during the process. Today I had to take before pictures and measurements  and send them to my coach. Looking at myself in a sports bra and shorts gives me living reassurance that I am doing the correct thing by being in this group to keep me on track. I am more motivated than ever to change myself so I have an awesome after picture.
This week is all about testing out the meal plan (based on 5 meals a day and eating clean). Today I had an ingenious idea of taking on a twist of chocolate covered strawberries. I know myself and I know that I have a wicked sweet tooth. I cut up strawberries and added some dark chocolate chips to the Tupperware that I had put the strawberries in. It was so nice to have a "sweet" snack that I didn't need to feel guilty about. I even ventured into saying that this snack tasted better than a candy bar. I am so proud of myself for coming up with something sweet to have that I know will help change my " before" picture.
 In other news, I picked up my dress that was being altered (the shoulder straps were WAY too big) for a wedding I am in this weekend.
Here is the dress. Don't mind how I had to creepily take the picture. 
Of course I will post tutorials of what I'm making the happy couple. Be on the look out for those posts! 
If only I had unlimited money, I would be able to craft so much more!
Rememeber comments & emails are always welcome

Hello blog world!

I've been thinking for a while now that I should start a blog. I craft often  probably too much for my own good and it is foolish for me not to document what I am doing and to inspire people to get in touch with their crafty side.
 I'm also embarking on a weight loss journey via the Beach Body DVD series Insanity and clean eating. I will be giving real life feed back into what I am experiencing throughout this journey. Feel free to comment or email at any time.
I'm crazy enough to start a blog when my life is already extremely hectic. What can I say, I love being busy and having something to get social interaction along with feed back.
My Pinterest can be found here . I pin various things so it's worth a look! I will be documenting my pin successes & failures here too!
Keep in touch,
Kate
