Motivation from Mommy-hood

This weekend was so much fun! i decided to plan an "End of Summer Bash" party and we had friends over Saturday for that. We began the festivities around 1:30pm. More to come on that on Wednesday!

The weekend flew by way to fast, but it seems like life in general is passing by quickly. i can't believe that we are just about done with August. i feel like it was yesterday that i was saying how excited i was for August to be here since i knew it was full of exciting things! Now, here we are saying goodbye.

Motivational Monday always makes me feel like i should be searching for some words of wisdom or other inspirational thoughts. i'm not quite sure i think of those things when i hear the word "motivation" but i do. Over the weekend i had a long conversation with my bestie about our future plans and starting our families. We both can't wait to become mommies and are super excited about what is in store for our lives in the upcoming year!

Speaking of mommy-hood, we are both reading "What to Expect Before Expecting" and find this great motivation for getting in shape and making our bodies as healthy as possible in preparation for babies.
What to Expect Before You're Expecting
This is definitely a great motivator! It is such a different mind-set when you are preparing for a little one. My health and nutrition are a constant thought and i want to make sure that i reach a certain goal weight before planning for baby. i know i blogged recently about Hawaii being a great motivator - but so is baby! It motivates us in the financial area, nutritional area and really changes my mindset on other things as well.

Okay...so enough about babies...i can talk all day on that topic. i have been working on reaching my goal weight and i've also been eating better (packing lunches and making dinner at home is a must). We have stuck with our new Envelope Budget plan and it's working like a charm. Now all we need to do is stick with it and we'll be good to go!

My picAday was captured during our fun party. I'll explain the detail later...

Aren't we crazy?!? I had so much fun! 

Until next time...ta ta for now!
