Well hello there!! Lately I've been listening to Disney movie songs through Pandora, and I've been waking up with my brain singing the songs! Haha. I love that we have access to things like Disney songs over the internet, because it brings back so many great childhood memories.
As a married adult wife I still LOVE and adore the Disney movies, songs, and of course, Disneyland!!! My husband and I try to sneak away to Disneyland as often as possible. THIS is one of the songs I've recently had stuck in my head. The best memory of hearing this song is that when we were younger, my dad used to sing this song to us. He was the BEST at singing this song, and he totally played the part. We all loved it.
On another note, my family, husband, and family friend, Deron all decided to start a weight loss challenge!! Now, we've tried this before. In the past we decided we would do a weight loss challenge, but all of us ended up giving up or forgetting about it, so we failed.
But this time I upped the ante!! We all put in $50, and the winner of the weight loss challenge gets the entire pile of cash. We are all very motivated to get some extra cash, LOL.
Let me give you a little back story about the day we started the weight loss challenge:
So, last Sunday the 18th, my sister's boyfriend got our family, and his family together because he was going to propose to my sister!!! It was such an exciting day! She had no idea, and was totally surprised and in shock. The family was waiting at Bailey's BBQ in Julian for the celebration afterwards. She said, "Of course!", and now I am a maid-of-honor and my wittle sister is getting married in April of next year!!!! I am so excited. She's the same age I was when I was engaged, and she will be the same age I was when I was married too. It's awesome. I'm so happy, and excited for her and her fiance, I couldn't be more proud of them!

Anyways, since all the family was there for the big event, we were all able to take our measurements for the weight loss challenge. Turns out my sister and her fiance want to be part of it too, which works great with their wedding coming up in 8 months! So, we took our measurements: biceps, thighs, hips, waist, chest, weight, and BMI. We also wrote down what our 8 week goal is.
I am so ready to win this weight loss challenge. Since my marriage I've gained 15 pounds! This is the heaviest I've been in my life, and it is NOT okay. I'm already realizing that it's WAYYYYYYYY easier to gain weight then it is to lose it. My plan is to exercise 5 days a week (maybe 6), eat less with portion control, and eat healthier too. I want to loose 2 pounds every week, and we have 8 weeks to get to our goal.
You may be wondering how I went from talking about Disney songs, to my sister getting engaged, to weight loss...well it's because I feel like our motivation can be THIS song, since Gaston is so strong, and superior. ;D Or maybe I am just scatter brained...
Yay for the WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE!!
