5 Years

Today marks 5 years since I lost my best friend...it came all too quickly..yet not fast enough....these past few months have been a world wind of emotion...and it seems all too fitting that today is the day I lost her. This past weekend I set a goal and I went for it...something I haven't done since my mother passed. See she was the one that always kept me focused...kept me motivated...and when I lost her something inside of me disappeared...This journey has been so much more than just working out.. but getting healthy...and really LIVING life. Though days are often better than others and let's be honest...that turkey sandwich on wheat with approximately 5 oreos and a glass of wine...was pretty darn good...the sacrifice and compromise was nothing in comparison to that of her struggle to fight for her life...My mom was the HEALTHIEST unhealthy person on the planet...a clean eater since birth...my mother created a wellness program for those who wanted to get fit for life...she had her PhD and educated many on the benefits of holistic living...unfortunately she grew up in a time where treating an illness was not fitting and her valves in her heart soon deteriorated after suffering from Rheumatic fever..told by many doctors she could not have children...she spent years taking care of herself..filling her body with natural foods and staying active..10 years later...she had me....and when they told her that she shouldn't have another child...she had my sister....and when they told her she wouldn't live longer than 10 years...she lived 20....I never saw the fight or the struggle..or the sacrifice she made until she was no longer here...that's life right...maybe that's why I get more motivated when someone tells me I can't or shouldn't...

That's ME! 

Today, five years ago I got a call from Stanford telling me that my mom went into cardiac arrest after a MAJOR surgery to repair her valves...something the doctors told her not to do...but she did...all for us...I can't express how much I miss her in words...so I will continue to FIGHT...and SACRIFICE...to LIVE everyday...and GO for EVERYTHING I want...the morning she passed almost 20 gallons of water flooded the ICU...It RAINED today five years ago..when it should have been sunny...some say the water was a way of connecting her to us...our family holds this to be a connection to her...that is why this picture meant so much to me...the words...the water...Sorry if I am not making any sense...I am always at a loss...my family my friends always come to our side during this time..and I am so blessed to have them...I'm sad...but I'm ok. I will play my music a little louder today....I will smile a little bit more today...I will share stories of her life...and more importantly....I will keep on this journey to get in shape... because sometimes even the healthiest..and strongest...end up leaving us...but at least then..you are LIVING. Love you guys! and thank you for being my long distance friends...now if we can figure a way to get all of you guys here to Vegas and Thrift the heck out of this place!

Bikini Break

I promise I am alive. Spending some time resting...this past weekend I competed in my very first and not last NPC bikini competition. I still can not believe I did it...I can not wait to share some photos...a little video I tried to take while in LA and the whole shenanigan experience...as you can see I still have some of the orange tan left on me...haha this was right after I had 8 tater tots for breakfast...don't worry..back to clean eating ;O) My hubby, my sister, and Megan joined me for this and were my biggest fans...I love them dearly and would not have made it without them! Will talk to all of you soon! Thrifters Anonymous Link up will be back up this upcoming Monday with a chance to win a SHOPPING SPREE with SAVERS! So get your thrift on...and get ready to show me what you got!!! 

Love you all!!

Outfit Details

Tank Top: Ideology Womens Activewear

Cropped Capri: Avia Marshalls

It seems only fitting once again to have an outfit post with the actual outfit I have been wearing almost EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I was off to the gym and the hubby insisted we have a photo shoot..I couldn't resist a photo shoot and I was excited to show off my new favorite top...I have gotten more compliments on this workout top then I did on the outfit I wore to work! Anyway...that's all I got for your right now...I am a little tired...and freaking out...you can see why in HERE. In the meantime head over to Macy's cuz all of their womens activewear is on sale, I think it may be online too...I am loving the Ideology exclusive brand myself...I got me another pair of cropped capris too...oh and Marshalls always has a great selection...but that goes for anything at Marshalls...haha ok now I am really leaving...Happy Thursday...

I got this dress over a year ago and couldn't wait to wear it...it was a little snug but I knew I could rock it...what's the problem? umm it's kinda big and I'm kinda pissed...I know Whining...This is just one of the vintage pieces I have found that just doesn't fit like I want it to...so that my friends is why I will be finding a new home for things such as this...I was thinking of selling some of my new, YES new items and vintage finds since I would love for some other vintage 80's lover or Banana Republic lover can enjoy...I seriously have like 6 pairs of the cutest shorts from Banana that don't work...Was thinking of just starting another blog and posting some of the items...would love your feedback...cuz I got a lot of items I LOVE and I wanna see them find a good home...haha please leave in the comments if this is a good idea or I should just shut my face and get over it...haha regardless..I wore this dress for the photo shoot and then had to change...love you stripes...
