Out With The Old……

August 1, 2011 Comments : 6

Today, for the first time since high school, I decided to replace some of the photos that I had on my picture collage wall in my room. Mainly because, well, too many of those pictures were of me with my ex-boyfriends…something that my lovely boyfriend (of three years, might I add…) probably got tired of seeing. It sounds pretty bad now that I think of it. I’ve been with the love of my life for three years and still had pictures of me with old boyfriends at prom, ring dance, in Europe, etc. Yeah…its about time I moved on, right? 😉 I replaced those pictures with ones of my best friends, my love, my family, and trips I’ve taken over the years. Much better.

Tvar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

I can proudly say that now, my love is the guy in almost all of my pictures, give or take a few 🙂 But there are NO ex-boyfriends’ pictures hanging on my wall anymore. For the longest time, I kept them there solely for reminiscing on all the good times in my past. Truthfully, though, being in love has taught me to love the present most of all. I have had moments over the years where I’ve wanted to relive some of my past, but now, all I want to do is enjoy the moment, live in the present. I have to give some of that credit to the love of my life, for making every day worth smiling over and finding the smallest joys that end up making every single day perfect. That’s what love is all about. No matter what you’re going through on a day-to-day basis, knowing you have each other makes every single day worth living to the fullest. Something else I’ve noticed after three years of being in love…I’ve turned into a sappy romantic. ha. But that’s another story for another day……………….

Tvar _gaq = _gaq || [];

ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

    Who cares if you are a sappy romantic! If you're in love, you're in love and all that matters is exactly how that feels 🙂 I am and have been so incredibly happy for you! How great is it that two of my best friends are together! Thank God Michael kept stalking you haha! Change is good! Way to throw out the old 🙂

    It's always nice to revamp a collage eh? Makes it look fresh and new – I am (obviously) a huge fan. I try to remember to do it on my refrigerator. Those ones never get changes.

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
