Go Green

Earth Day was Thursday and despite my best efforts I wasn't able to find a spare moment to sit down and blog!!
I love that their is a day devoted to the earth!! I honestly wish I would have had to time that day to go out and pull weeds, plant some flowers or pick up garbage.
The earth is amazing and beautiful!! Just Google "landscapes" and scroll through a couple of pages! You will see exactly what I mean (if you don't already)!!
Here are some of my favorites!

It's just amazing!! It seriously makes me sad to think of things like deforestation, pollution and wasting water!! I think if everyone would just do a smart part, things could be so much better!! So here is my plea for everyone to GO GREEN!!! =0)

A Story About A Dress

Another month down!! And this month was a full month, instead of only 21 days!! I think I have finally made working out a habit, wahoo!! It took a few weeks of dedication, and now I hate to miss it. WHOA!! That is so weird to say!! I used to HATE working out...... I'd do the Wii Fit, because I could stand in one place and play fun games, but doing the elliptical machine..... forget it!! Or go to an aerobics class..... no way!!
But now I look forward to going!! Tuesdays I kick box!! SO much fun! It's an awesome cardio work out and I always feel so good about myself afterward!!
Thursday's I have taken up water aerobics!! I have only been about 3 times but it is great!! I go with a couple of people and it's so great to work out and laugh with each other!!
But my favorite work out is still Zumba!!

I HATE missing this class most of all!! It's honest doesn't feel like a work out!! It's just dancing and shaking and having lots of fun!!
I have been trying to be so good!! I have now lost about 21.5 pounds!! Yay, right??
Well here comes the story about the dress!!
How cute are these dresses from Shabby Apple and Mod Cloth??

I cannot even tell you how much I would LOVE to fit into one of these!!

So remember how I have been trying really really hard?? Well, I STILL cannot tell a difference!! It's starting to get pretty discouraging!! The other day I went shopping with my mom, trying to find a cute new Easter dress (tradition at my house). I was SO hoping to be able to fit into a smaller size, but it just wasn't working for me!! All I kept thinking was "Nothing like a shopping trip to make you feel like a crap about yourself". ***Insert sigh here***

So I will just have to keep working on!! And hopefully sometime soon I will start to see and feel a difference!! And one day I plan to fit into something like this:
