Body By Vi ~ 90 Day Challenge

Hey everyone, if you haven't noticed from my lack of blog posts, I have a bit of trouble staying motivated & that is the case with almost every aspect of my life including weight loss & exercising (& house cleaning & working & laundry... but that's not the point of this post ha) Anyway, I had been thinking about doing the Body By Vi 90 day challenge & I kept putting it off, well I finally made the leap, today is day 1 of my first 90 day challenge & I'm soo excited! To help keep me motivated & held accountable I am making this a public endeavor, so as bad as this is going to be... here is my dreaded before picture...

Yeah... pretty bad, I weigh the most I ever have at 184 pounds (Holy Cow) 

My overall goal is to lose 50 pounds but my goal for this 90 day challenge is a MINIMUM of 10 pounds.

I'm determined to workout every single day, eat healthy & consume my Vi shake everyday.

If you have never tried the Vi shakes they are delicious! 

I seriously look forward to being able to have one everyday.

I will be posting & keeping everyone up to date on my progress, if anybody wants to join the challenge with me you can do so here http://jschaeffer.bodybyvi.com/challenge

I won't make any money by you ordering from my link but if I get a minimum of 3 people who do I will get my shakes for free, & if you decide to join me on the challenge you will get the same opportunity to get your shakes for free to.

Oh & seeing how it is Monday...

My song addiction of the week.

Ta-Da

I did it again, I disappeared & then re-appeared. Ok, I admit, I have got to be the worst blogger of all time! It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged & as usual I’m going to try to get better at keeping up with this, don‘t roll your eyes at me, I mean it this time, I have a plan!  My plan is to pretty much write several months worth of blog posts & then just schedule them  to post on their own &  then I only have to write every few months… ok maybe not, however I do plan on having some pre-written posts set aside so on days when I can’t blog or can’t think of anything to write about I can just pull from my stash, we’ll see how this plan will work but just don't hold your breath, I can't have you passing out on me. 

Since my last blog post I still haven't had a yard sale, my sleeping schedule has gotten worse (can you say vampire), & a new season of Revenge has started! In other news my little brother is going to be a daddy & I'm soo happy & excited for them, & for me cause that means I'm aunt Jordan! :) My husband is now volunteer firefighter & is certified in rapid intervention. I am so proud of him & all his hard work, he is actually at a training class at the fire department as I type this. 

Isn't he a hottie ;)

I got out of Avon due to spending more money than I was making, I still LOVE their products & may re-join one day but the temptation to shop was just more than I could handle.  I'm now working in network marketing for 3 different companies, Instant Rewards, Infinity Downline, & Wake Up Now. I love all 3 companies & I'm loving being able to make money from home. If you want to know more about any of the companies I work for you can go to my website at SubstantialMoney.com.

Speaking of work I suppose I better go get some done :)

I know it's not Monday but I have a lot of "song addictions" to make up for so I leave you with this...

Hello Again...

 I know it's been a looong time, I've gotten on here a few times & started to type out a blog post but then got distracted. I've been a busy girl lately, on top of working my retail job I've also gotten involved in a work from home opportunity called Instant Rewards, so far it's not really going anywhere but I've seen others make decent money from it so for now I will continue to press on. I also got my business license at the beginning of this month so my photography business is now legit :) My goal is that by the end of this year I will be able to quit my job in retail & work from home, I'm also planning on getting my hands into a few other things, one of which is refurbishing furniture & selling it (something I've been wanting to do for awhile now). I need to get my rear end in gear if I want to be a work from home guru, I'll keep you all updated on my progress. Another thing that has happened in our household is that my husband became a volunteer firefighter, he loves it & is studying hard to try & get a job as a paid firefighter, I'm super proud of him!

You would think I would have more to tell you seeing as how it's been so long but theirs not been much going on, I will try to get on here later today & post some yummy recipes & anything else I may think of :)

For now I will leave you with my current song addiction...

Gotta love that truck ;)

Crazy Week

Hey all, I have been horrible about not blogging this past week, but, in my defense it has been a crazy week. 
The week started out alright, my husband & I helped move some furniture for my grandparents & great grandparents & I've been working on my craft room some more. I've had a headache the majority of this week (thanks to the weather change) but only 2 days were unbearable. My husband has come down with a cold & I keep feeling like I'm getting one but my body is still fighting it off (for now). 
The worst part of this week was Friday morning, I let the dogs outside (we have a min-pin named Hershey & a pit-bull terrier mix named Sebastian) & I heard Hershey yelping so I went to go see what was going on, I opened the back door & he comes running inside with blood all over him, now I don't handle blood well, especially when it's all over my little doggy, so I start freaking out. I put him in the tub to rinse him off so I can see where he's bleeding from & realize that he has a huge gash in his butt hole (gross) I have no clue what happened but I couldn't stop the bleeding so we rushed him to the vet. My poor baby had to have 8 stitches & then the vet convinced me to go ahead and have him neutered so he's got 2 more stitches from where they took his cojones (poor dog). 

I've had to keep a close eye on him since we've had him home, for some reason the cat keeps trying to claw at his butt stitches so I can't let him out of my sight. I'm hoping this next week goes quickly so he can get his stitches taken out, it's hard to keep a min-pin calm.

So anyway, that was my week. Their were lots of things I had planned to blog about but never got to it. 

One of the things I was going to blog about was the guy wearing the orange vest that said "I am a drunk driver" while he picked up trash off the side of the road. I think they should make them all wear vest with their crime in print, here's some examples...

Ok, I need to go get busy on my guest room, my cousin will be down at the end of October & at this rate she will have to sleep on boxes, so for her sake, this is the end of this post.

Oh, I almost forgot, my song addiction of the week...

Now this is the end of this post ;)

Before & After

As promised here are the before & after pictures...

They look perfect for the craft room (which I'll post pictures of once it's organized better).

Which is what I should be working on now. So on that note, here's some music to enjoy...
