Day 20: How Many Inches Did She Lose

Today is day 20 of my EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge and I would like to update you with some inches lost because I am very excited!!! So when I started this work out process it was because I found myself feeling low self esteem and getting really upset about my mid section and upper arms. For some reason I have a huge chest, huge upper arms and well my mid section had taken a huge stretching because I had the boys 2 years and 6 days apart. Normal everyday life and stress also took my body through heck and back!

Silly me to think my 7 year old who has had Justin a part of her life for the past three and a half years wouldn’t be upset … silly Mom what were you thinking?! Lately I have …

Positive Term: Co-Parenting

Growing up my parents divorced somewhere around the time I was 9 or 10, and it wasn’t unexpected for them to split up. Some people seem to fall in love but then find they are truly not meant to be together, it is called life and people do change, life changes, and there are so many factors that play into “life” that can make the dream you once had change completely. I spent every other weekend with my father growing up and that was the shared custody plan. When I found myself with a four month old daughter and getting out of a relationship with someone I was not meant to be with (my daughter’s father) I knew in my heart I didn’t want my daughter to grow up with …
