Finally more positive thoughts!

Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. It has be hellish busy around here with two kids birthday parties and more on my plate then usual. My daughter is taking dance as usual but also started t-ball practice 2 days a week. I am trying to find a “groove” that works, but have not yet, but I am getting there!

Here are some long awaited positive thoughts!
I keep my mind focused on peace, harmony, health, love and abundance. Then, I can’t be distracted by doubt, anxiety, or fear. –Edith Armstrong

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. –Albert Einstein
 
I so need both of these today, that is why I chose these to post!
 
I have let a little frustration get in the way of my journey lately and that is so not a good thing. I reaped the non-benefits for that as well. It was/is not worth it. I am slowly getting back. I am sure that when I get a new schedule figured out it will help with my mental attitude as well. This last week and a half I have felt so discombobulated. I know I should not let it get to me and now I am making a conscious effort to not let it get to me! Life happens, let it Tawna!!!
 
Hope you are all have a wonderful day!

Waiting to plant my garden, spring keeps teasing me!

Where are you SPRING?!!!!

I so want to plan my garden and every day that it seems to warm up I think, “is this a good day?” I planted a whole bunch of fresh herbs 3 weeks ago as it was above 70 for 3 days and wouldn’t you know it….BAM freezing weather for another two weeks = dead herbs!

I have lived in many cities in different states and the weather is the same every where, hot, cold, hot, cold, CRAP!
So the warming we have had this week lasted jut over a day and now it is cold again, argh! I want to plant my garden. I want to eat fresh and not pay the supermarket high prices for crappy produce!

Anyway, maybe I will get my garden planted by the first of May! Here is positive thinking for warm weather to get here and stay soon!

If you cook with fresh herbs and vegetables it cuts down on salt, big time! It also is better for you in general! If you have never planted a garden, start with growing some herbs first. You will be surprised how much better your food tastes with fresh herbs added!

YUMMY!

Have a great day! On my way to do some Plyomtriics now! Yay P90X!

My 4th Fondant cake

This is my 4th cake! My daughter wanted a ballet birthday and I made this cake for her. I am taking a cake break for awhile!

If you want to have the fondant recipe and how to do it then visit my First Fondant cake post here! I made a 3rd one which I did not post on here because I totally forgot to take a picture of it. It was for my daughter’s family party and it just all happened so fast but it was not that great anyway. So here is number 4!

Thanks for taking a look! Sorry I have not posted for a few days but my daughter’s bday lasted for 4 days and I was/am totally worn out!

Week 11 of P90X=DO OVER!

Photobucket
Well you know me I am always honest and I would have loved to write a post about week 12 however I have to admit that I only did a couple days of week 11 so far and I am not OK with doing it half so I am redoing week 11!

There has been so many obstacles this week and I am simply worn out! I am not a quitter though so I am still going to go strong.
This past week and into the weekend we have had 2 birthday parties for my daughter who just turned 5. The family party and her friend party which was yesterday and both my husband and I are just plane worn out. We spent a day cleaning before EACH party. Getting presents ready, food etc. I do not just buy cakes and food I MAKE it all, the cake, the rolls for the sandwich’s etc so it takes me a day or two longer to get ready. We really have to cut corners on money so I am the scratch queen!

Was it all worth it…oh yes. My daughter Loved the entire week (4 day bday party it seemed like). But you know, when you are young birthdays are so important and she will always remember that she had good ones! And we did not break the bank to do it.

So my P90X did suffer and that is OK because I am back! My sons birthday is not til the end of August so no more bday obstacles for me!

Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend! I am glad to be back to normal around here!

Oh and by the way, I made the cake but did not even eat a bite! I also gave it all away. Saved my daughter and son one more piace each and have no more cake in my house! I do have to say that I love making them!

My pissy attitude is affecting my health!

OK so I posted on my positive thinking blog (http://tawnasssecret.blogspot.com/ temporary relapse to the negativity side this week and boy I tell you, if you are not mentally happy, there is no way you are going to be physically healthy. It has put a damper on me all week (well it’s Wed but this started on Sunday so it has been 4 days.

Photobucket
When I google for a picture, creidt ofr it was given to this website, shakadula.com
I still have been doing my P90X workouts but I have found that I have only been half doing them and I can tell a difference. This is not where I want to be, all pissy and negative and only half wokring out. I need and want to be putting my full energy into these and I have got to make a serious change in my attitude starting, yesterday. So, on a new mission today to change my attitude, get over myself, and do my P90X workouts to the fullest today. Even though today is suppose to be rest day I am re-doing Kenpo because I did not feel it like I should have yesterday.

I hope you are having a wonderful  healthy day with a smile on your face. I forgot my smile for only a few days and look where it got me….no where.

Tanks for coming by today! It means a lot!

Lack of posting due to frustration!

OK so I have to fully admit that the last few days I have had a lack of positive postings due to me letting my head get in the way again. I told you before that I would always be totally honest on this blog and I just had a small relapse in positivity in the last few days and boy has it just flowed the negative around me over the past few days. This just goes to show me more and more that a positive attitude really and truly does help with your daily life.

This picture just shows all my moods over the last few days so I thought I would ad it!I am back on the saddle again starting today. I can’t let the negativity get me down anymore.

I have been fighting with my old work place to get my pension out and rolled over into an IRA and I did win, yay! (if you ever want to know how I did that just contact me and we will talk). They were telling me for months (almost a year) that under their plan I was unable to roll it over but I DID it. I should be getting my check by Friday of this week and it will feel so good to be making interest on it for my retirement and not letting someone else make the interest on my money so yay!

That is the good note but there have been many other frustration with money, time, and did i mention money this week. So what have I learned before, more then once….”Tawna, spend it when you need to and money will find you!” I have done this before and it has ALWAYS worked out so why am I letting my head win again? I can’t do that, this is why I am not receiving all that I should, because I am letting the negativity win this week. So now I perk up and say to myself “a minor dent in my positive frame and now I will overcome and get over myself today. That dent is getting buffed out today!

My daughter’s 5th birthday is tomorrow and I need to be in a better mood so everyone, including me, can enjoy her birthday tomorrow without Mommy’s negative attitude bringing it down!

“Universe, I am back today, with a smile, and will be headache free in a few minutes, go to the store, get what I need and get over it! Life is wonderful, now quit whining about it Tawna cuz you only get one to enjoy it!”

Peace and love and have a very positive day everyone because I know I will darn it!
