This past weekend was pretty busy for me. If you follow me on Instagram. I picked up another plant this past weekend, and I also decided to tackle some mini backyard projects. This was all kickstarted on my trip to Walmart and the Dollar Tree. I was hoping to have another raised bed built. I was on the hunt for some garden soil and potting mix soil. Walmart didn't have exactly what I needed. However, I did pick up a few items. I ended up visiting a local Dollar Tree, and I was pleasantly surprised with some of my garden finds. I initially just wanted to purchase some styrofoam cups. However, I found the super cute little cute garden cups that included twelve in a pack. I was hoping to transfer some of my seedlings into larger cups. Once I transferred my plants. I ended up tackling some backyard mini-projects. 
I went to my local home depot a couple of weeks ago, and they were all out the rocks/stones in which I wanted. I was so happy when I found these rocks and stones around my yard. Which saved me some money. I also never paid any attention to the fact that I had periwinkle and wood pern growing in my yard. Which was another time and money saver seeing how I did not have to run to my local store to pick up those items. I moved most of those plants to other areas around my yard. Though, these projects are not officially complete. I wanted to share my current projects in progress. I'm still trying to decide if I'm just going to have mulch delivered to eliminate store runs, just in case I decide to add more projects. I wasn't expecting to create so many projects for myself this weekend. However, I'm truly happy that I did. Below, I'm sharing some of the yard projects that I have in progress.

 Attire Breakdown

Happy Thursday! Three years ago I embarked on a  weightloss journey. I was 147.8lbs, and I just wanted to change. I’m 5’1 ½ and like most women, I don’t gain weight in all of my favorite areas. All of my weight tends to go to my stomach, back, and face. I’m 100% fine with having a full face, and I’ve always been a pretty solid girl my entire life. However, looking like I’m expecting, and having people ask if I was pregnant was just too much. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED my shape prior to my weight loss journey. I didn't even mind the backfat. The stomach, I could have done away with though.

From day one of surpassing my weight loss goal which was early fall of 2017. Prior to my weight loss goal I knew the body goal I wanted would require cosmetic surgery just from my genetics. My mom tends to gain weight in her stomach as well. I’ve learned so much over these last three years, and I actually love the foods in which I eat and my lifestyle change. I plan on continuing to eat clean. Yes, I could just consume a bunch of unhealthy foods to gain weight. However, I would personally prefer to do it the right way. Eating well has been a lifestyle change for me.

What I’m Doing
Last night for the first time in a long time I downloaded and logged into the MyFitnessPal App. I created my goal and I’m pretty much on a 2K calorie diet. For my weight loss journey, I was on a 1,200 calorie diet. I plan to log my meals to ensure that I’m meeting my daily goals.
