Angles are EVERYTHING

Whoa, two days in a row??!?!?!

Today I am going to talk about angles. You see, in this wonderful world (irony), we have filters, editing shit, cropping, and the beauty of taking selfies so when the first one sucks the 100th one will be perfect.
I think I have done a pretty good job of hiding my weight gain from the people who don't see me in person.
So, I apologize for omitting the truth from y'all.

Yesterday I promised you guys some pics.
Here goes nothin'...

Proof I have started working out again

(the ugly-in-the-car-after-the-gym-selfie)

Shawn is working on his angles here.

Look at dem jaw bones.

I MEAN...

Rosalie also has a real flair for selfies.

CROPPED.

GOOD ANGLE.

(drunk)

Whoa nelly.

Bad angle. Hellor arms!

And the cutest girl in the world who don't need no cropping, angles, or filters.

So there you have it.

A collection of pics that prove that angles are everything.

Luckily, I am on day 3 of logging food on MFP and working out so I don't need to worry so much about my angles!

Starting Over

I let go, guys.
I completely lost all motivation and any desire I had to achieve a fit/healthy/happy life.
Not to say I'm not happy! Because I am - I am in love, my friends and family are doing great things, I have the best child one could ask for, and I am kicking ass at school...but with all those things, I stopped working out, started eating what and whenever I wanted, and the alcohol - oh, the alcohol.
When I first started losing weight, I cut out alcohol, because well...empty calories and the "I don't care, I'm going to eat because I am drinking" mentality.
All that on top of quitting smoking, and I'm only 10 lbs. lighter than I was when I first decided to lose weight.
You do the math.

The plan?
I joined the gym and I've started back on MFP (follow me, greener3313).
I am so happy with my life and how it's all turning out - but I am uncomfortable in my own skin.
I don't like pictures of me and I don't like any of my clothes.
Why is it so hard to manage this lifestyle?
The sad part is, is every time you lose weight and then gain it back - it's twice as hard to lose it again. So bear with me on this endeavor.
I think that blogging on a regular basis helped me last time, so I'm going to try and get back to that as much as possible.

That all being said, I need your guys' help!
Harass me about blogging, harrass me about what I'm eating...y'all know I'm an open book and my fans (haha) help me with staying consistent and honest.

Hope I find you well! See you tomorrow. WITH PICS.

It's too damn early. YOLO.

Oh my GAWD. I am awake at 4:45 am.
I blame Shawn (he has to get to work hella ((yes, I just said hella)) early & this morning he woke me up with his loud-man ways).
So here we are - I'm watching Cuthroat Kitchen, drinking coffee, & thought, I guess I'll blog!
(And by blog I mean post a bunch of pics - like usual)

Let's rewind to a couple of weeks ago...

Shawn & I took Rosalie to Florence for the day.

It was her first time at the coast!

She was a little skeptical at first, but got over it real quick.

Obviously had to get the classic beach-foot pic.

Shawn had no idea how to do it. 

It was ridiculous.

After a while, we drove up to Newport to take RoBo to the aquarium.

HOLY COW! She looooooved it.

Is that not the most adorbs sea star you've ever seen?

She said she was Patrick (from SpongeBob SquarePants).

About a week later, Rosalie got to spend the weekend with Gramma & Grandpa.

She got her first tricycle (or as she likes to call it, her motorcycle - girl can't even pedal).

I chopped my hair again.

Ohmygerrrrd, feels so good.

#momhairdontcare

While Ro stayed with my parents, I headed up to Clackamas to cohost my friend Rachel's Lingerie Shower.

Luke (^^^^) was super helpful.

Me, Luke, & his wife Lame. 

We were delirious at this point, I think.

And here's a selfie.

And here's another one.

And here is a pic of Rachel (the bride to be), me & Niki.

I didn't take anymore pictures because I was busy drinking.

Sorrrrrry.

When I got home from up north, Shawn and I had a busy day of graduation parties, Messy Church, and hanging with his fambam.

We may have both been a little hung over (hence the awesome smiles).

Braden, my nephew, is obsessed with YOLO.

I find it funny. He sidewalk-chalked #YOLO at Messy Church.

Word, man.

A few days later, Shawn & Ro had a daddy-daughter date.

He sent me the creepiest pic of her eating ice cream.

THAT'S MY GIRL! You can't expect us to try & look cute when we are eating!

Um, I got a manicure.

And then a few more days later, we took the kids to the family day/rodeo prep/thingie.

They had a blast.

Katelyn, Braden, & Rosalie.

RoBo got her face painted.

She did really well, I was impressed.

Her red horse *which she requested*

We were trying to get Rosalie to look at Katelyn (because they had matching horses), but home-girl is a ham and had to cheese for the camera.

#YOLO

She loved sitting on the fake horses!

And that's been my summer so far.

It's been great!

We are going to the Rodeo on Thursday evening. I've never been to a rodeo. I'm gonna love it or I'm gonna hate it. Either way, I really need cowboy boots (Shawn disagrees) (YOLO). 

Well, I'm gonna get back to my Cuthroat Kitchen and my coffee.

Hope everyone is enjoying summmmmmmmaaaatiiiiiiiime!

Okay, okay one more:

CUTEST THING EVER.
