Day 14

3 healthy habits

Having battled an eating disorder for a huge chunk of my life, healthy habits have always been a struggle for me. This past year when it was nice out I made sure to walk multiple times a week a few miles.  Usually once a week is about 5 miles.  I've also decided it's time to cut back on carbs and sugar again because when I cut back on those last I was able to lose 25 lbs in less than 3 months.... In a healthy way which was a huge step for me!  I'm totally not a gym person, so walking is def for me!

Day 13

What's inside my fridge?

Tons of stuff!  There are 3 of us in my house and we all like different things.  When it comes to my stuff, I always make sure I have lactaid milk.... It's one of the main staples to my diet!  And I have an obsession with shredded cheese so I make sure we always have some of that as well.  And Olivio butter.  Its the only kind of butter I can have.  Honestly those are the only things I absolutely have to have!

Day 12

My favorite childhood book!

I honestly have racked my brain over this for awhile and I've always been such a bookworm that I don't remember having one certain favorite book!  The Babysitters Club series however, is a totally different story... I was a huge fan!  I started reading the series when I was 7 or 8, and read them till around 14.... And occasionally I will pull a few out randomly and still read them because I still have all of them... No shame here!!  I loved everything about those books and my best friend was just as big of a fan as I was!  We always pretended to be the characters and wished we had our own club.  Stacey was always my favorite.  Those books brought me to my happy place and I remember getting so excited when a new one would come out that I would usually try and get it the day it came out!  I remember when I first started reading them I was reading two a day because I was so into them.  Definitely the best books series ever!  (Although I really loved American Girl books too!)

Day 10

What was the best trip of my life?

I have two, for two completely different reasons.

First one have to be my wedding/honeymoon in the Bahamas.  That was the first and only time I've been out of the country and it was amazing.  The weather was beautiful and I loved having a room that overlooked the ocean.  It rained for about 10 minutes every day and then a few minutes later it was clear and sunny!  The beach was absolutely stunning and the water was crystal clear.  Definitely a place I would want to go back to!

Second would have to be my weekends this past July and September at the Cape with my best friend.  I hadn't been to the Cape since I was a teenager and it was still as great as it was then.  Something about the beach is just soothing to the soul.  We went to some great restaurants and bars, and of course mini golf, and a river cruise.  Our second trip is when we got our quote tattoo, and it was my first one! And it was nice for us to have that one on one bonding time together because we don't get a lot of it.  Looking forward to many more trips together!

Day 9

What's in my purse?

Thought this subject was a little bizarre but I'm just following the same topics as the challenge!
My purse has everything... One of my friends used to call it a Mary Poppins bagcause I had so much in it!  I recently downgraded to a smaller bag cause I had way too much stuff!  I obviously have my wallet.  Also my phone charger, checkbooks, receipts (I'm what they call a receipt hoarder), meds, ChapStick, and I think that's it!  I eliminated so much when I switched to the smaller bag!

Day 8

5 Current Goals
(Which I would consider for this year)

1.  Pay off a credit card
2.  Pay off my car
3.  Take more vacations
4.  Declutter my house
5.  Stop spending money on unnecessary things

I honestly try not to focus on too many things at once because I get overwhelmed easily... So I try to make reasonable ones to eliminate massive amounts of stress!!

Day 7

5 Favorite Songs

1.  Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon
- seriously the catchiest song ever!  It's impossible for me to hear it and not start instantly singing it!

2.  What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction
- yes I love them, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.  The first time I heard it I loved it.  I used to play it all the time when my son was a baby because it was the only song that would soothe him.  As he's gotten older he askes for it all the time.. It hasn't gotten old yet!

3.  It's All Coming Back to Me Now by Celine Dion
- I have loved this song since I was 12.  I have been a fan of hers for as long as I can remember and her music has gotten me thru some really hard times.


4.  Conviction of the Heart by Kenny Loggins
- whenever I need to unwind or just need something relaxing I put this on.  I don't know what it is about that song but I just find it very soothing.

5.  No Scrubs by TLC
- my favorite group of all time.  How can anyone not love this song???

Day 6

What are you afraid of?

Well first the obvious, something happening to my child.
Then...
- people that mean the most to me dying
- heights
- failure
- not being able to get out of debt

Honestly, I'm not afraid of a ton of things.  That's probably a good thing!
