i changed the name of my blog! did you see??? i felt like it was such a perfect way to describe my life ;) i also changed the template and layout, i now love the way it looks!!! its been another crazy week! i successfully worked out 6 days this week! yay! i also ate well...
we have been focusing alot on organizing and decluttering our home. so i havnt spent much time on the computer or taking pictures, sorry for the boring word only posts, hoping to be back to normal photo posts in the next few weeks!
this last weekend the hhusband and i did a living room renovation! we ripped up our carpet and layed down linoleum wood flooring. buttcheeks also built a wall unit for our entertainment stuff! ill do a post on this later this week along with photos, it came out awesome!!! we are on this kick right now to simplify and declutter our home, so far its going well! one room at a time!
today my girlfriend came over and we walked a 3 mile stretch, it felt amazing to start my day off that way. i have noticed over the last few weeks that i need new workout shoes! the ones i have are tattered and worn! although they have lasted me a good 4 years, its time to invest in a new pair! the husband needs a pair as well.
going to make time to post tomorrow, including pics! ta ta till then!

running on crazy
hi ya'll! its been quite a week! i was originally planning on blogging about my healthy lifestyle and fitness daily, but then life just went ahead and gave me a big ol slap in the face and laughed at me! apparently, it is not an easy task to.. be a wife, take care of 5 animals, work a full time job, start a photography business and workout on a regular basis! soooooooo.... that being said, maybe i will just be checking in periodically, at least once a week, more if im able. i feel like im always running on crazy! in a good way of course!
this brings me to my next point... what do you guys think of that as the title for my blog? running on crazy... i think i like it!
so i successfully worked out 5 days last week! yay! i did one day of yoga, two days of p90x one day of walking and one day of elliptical. of course im starting out slow. this week we will most likely do 3-4 days of p90x! i swear, that work out is a total killer! but, im sure, well worth it in the end. we also started getting the dogs to be more active by taking them to the dog park a few times during the week! i think this week i am going to work on a meal plan for the hubs and i, just gonna down size the p90x meal plan and make it work with our budget and schedule. hoping to have it ready for next week.
we had a nice weekend, went to a friends house for dinner on monday, had a pillow with an 8 year old, if pillow fights dont make you feel young, i dont know what will ;) and tuesday we went to the happiest place on earth! it was perfect weather!!!!! 75 degrees! i wore a tank top, shorts and flip flops all day in january! i love living in so cal!!! so, thats pretty much my week in a nut shell... ill try to post disney pics later in the week.
one more thing... my neighbor finally had her baby! so i will be doing my first ever newborn photos for my photography blog http://raynemakerimages.com/blog/ sometime next week. ill keep you posted so you can check them out!

today was a good day
i woke up this morning to find the sun shining and the birds chirping, i love days like that!
i brewed myself a french press of java, and sat down to relax for a bit and watch Real Housewife's of Beverly Hills... its my guilty pleasure tv! my favorite cast members are kyle and lisa!
this morning bunny and i had a few errands to run, so we decided to bike to our errands instead of drive... it felt amazing to be out in the morning air, sun shining, spending time with my favorite person.
this mornings pre bike ride breakfast was pnut butter toast and honeydew melon... delicioso!
after biking to our errands we each had a protein shake, before heading out to take the dogs to the dog park.
my dogs absolutely love the park! dude just likes to roam and run in the openness and harley loves to chase the ball, roxy never knows whats going on, she just goes along for the ride. by the time we get home, everyone is so tired from all the activity, my house is silent! its a wonderful thing!
after our trip to the dog park, we sat down for breakfast, i had egg whites with soyrizo... if you like chorizo, you will love this stuff! its vegetarian, made from soy, has half the calories of the real stuff and taste almost the same! if you like yours with a kick, just add some tapatio... its AMAZING!
after breakfast bunny and i showered and got ready for work. its so nice sometimes working the same shift, we can ride to work together, and get off at the same time. my afternoon snack was a hand full of bbq stacks...
im getting super bored of cooking, so lunch today was a 6 inch turkey sammy from subway, i got a footlong, i had the other half for dinner, and half an apple. dinner will be an exact replica of lunch.
im feeling a little sore this evening, its a good thing. think we will hit up the bike trail tomorrow morning. for now, im off to bed. today was a good day.
PS... SORRY NO PHOTOS, I HAVE MISPLACED MY CORD FOR MY CAMERA! UGHHH! SO ENJOY JUST MY WORDS FOR NOW =)

ive been thinking...
you never know what could happen when my brain starts to think :) anywho, ive decided that i want to turn this into a healthy lifestyle blog!!! seeing as how i have my other blog http://raynemakerimages.com/blog/ for my photography, id like to use this space to share my eats and fitness... or at the moment, lack there of...
when i met my husband i weighed 190 lbs!!!! im a small girl 5'1, not what you would call healthy! erik, 6 mos before had begun his journey to loose weight... he went from 220 down to 160! so when we met, he was thin and healthy! never ate fast food, mayonnaise or ranch dressing! i on the other hand lived on taco bell and jack in the box! right from the start, i took on my new boyfriends eating habits... stopped drinking soda, energy drinks and alcohol! i dropped 20 lbs right away! shortly after, we started to work out... riding bikes and going to our apartment gym... 2 years later, by my wedding day i had lost 60 lbs! i was the thinnest i had been in years weighing in at 140 lbs! almost 4 years later, things have changed a bit... ive gained a little of the weight back... but im determined to get it and then some, back off!!!! im hoping that creating this space as a journal for the world to see might help me to stay on track. ill be posting everything i eat, when i exercise and my results. lets start with today, shall we?
this morning i woke up and had my decaf cup of coffee, a bowl of oatmeal and a mason jar of water. shortly after that i went on my 3 mile walk... i love to walk. just turn on that ipod, pop those headphones in and off i go. i enjoy walking. its calming, relaxing and a great activity! plus, since im so out of shape from not working out in the last year, its a perfect way to get my body ready to be active again.
after my morning walk, i made a chocolate protein shake! it was just what i needed! the hubby and i took our 3 dogs to the dog park that i just found in our city... its huge! its beautiful and i cant believe i never knew about it! the dogs had a blast and were passed out by the time we got back home! lunch was a roasted veggie black bean burrito,,, it was amazing! dinner was buffalo chicken salad, honeydew melon and a lemon cupcake! sorry no photos, tomorrow will be a different story!
im so glad that i decided to dedicate this space to a healthy lifestyle blog... im looking forward to sharing with you all! also i will be changing the name of my blog, not sure to what, but stay tuned for a name change =)
