Hey everyone! So I know I keep toying with your emotions about being back, then I'm gone, then I'm back again, then I disappear... "What's the deal" you are probably saying... Well I actually forgot I had a blog, hahah. Sorry, but that's the truth. I have had so much going on, and it just slipped my mind.
How I remembered that y'all were here, was one of my past associates form a different company, mentioned that she was going to start a 30 day yoga challenge. I said... "HEY! I did a 30 day challenge, where's my blog" and here I am. So that happened.
Let me update you on me... *Rolls up sleeves* ...
At the beginning of this year, I was super unhappy with the brokerage I was apart of. The company as a whole was great! There were just some changes that were being implemented that I didn't agree with, so I left. I decided to go with a new brokerage, that I am very happy to be a part of. I am actually closing on my first deal with them, but 6th deal for the year. I have a couple other people that I am working with as well, and I have a listing that is coming up. So that is amazing!
My husband quit his part-time/full-time job at the Wal-Mart distribution center, and is now working full-time doing inspections and is doing an amazing job! He has already done over 200 inspections this year alone. Since he quit, I had to get a part-time job at Bluebonnet Chrysler Dodge here in New Braunfels, TX. It is M-F 8:00am to 12:30pm. Not too bad, but sometimes I feel like I don't have enough time in the day to work on my Real Estate stuff. But I am trying to make it work.
My husband and I started working out at Golds Gym, and we have been doing GREAT! He hurt his back a week or so ago, and hasn't been able to go work out, like he wants, but I still am. Since I go to work at 8am in the morning, and work on Real Estate in the evening, I will work out at 5:00am for an hour. I know it's early, but I always feel so good after and through out the day when I work out. I am also beat by the end of the day, and sleep great!
My husband hired a trainer for 3 days, and we have been using those work outs for Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We take Wednesdays and Sundays off, and do cardio the other days. Below are the work outs if you want to do them as well. You may have to look some of them up.

These are really great workouts. They really get you sweating!
Since we started working out, I have kept track of my weight and inches lost. Here is a picture of my little white board.
I have fluctuated, but over all, in 7 weeks I have lost 9lb, and 4in. all around. Not too bad for a 30 year old. I definitely don't lose weight as quickly as I used to...
Well that's about it for today. I hope y'all have had a great year so far! Hears to the second half. May it be as successful, if not more than the first half!
Motivation!
