Tickle Me Tuesdays


This week my obsession is hoop art. I am determined to learn it as soon as possible. Here are some of my inspirations pushing me along!
Who knows if this is even close to a possibility for me? I don't even know where to get the hoops or the burlap (if that's even burlap). If anyone has tips for new beginners, let me know!

Intervention!

I have been the exact same weight for as long as I can remember. I'll fluctuate within one or two pounds, but 97% of the time it shows up the same. I have very fast metabolism and eat whatever I want whenever I want. Everyone in my family was the same way, but they kept warning me about when I reach my 20's, it's going to change. Well Grandma, I stepped on the scale tonight for the first time since Christmas, and I've gained 6 pounds to the number I'm used to! This is no mere pound or two. This is kind of a big deal. People say that haven't noticed, but the scale doesn't lie.
It's time for a crazy change. Fast food only once a month, small (but effective) workouts every day, don't eat chocolate every other day, yogurt your heart out, fruit, eat lean pockets instead of hot pockets, small simple changes that will work.
I've given myself a million excuses lately to not do this, from a new jar of nutella, to being hungry at work and being "forced" to eat fast food. No more. Starting Monday (after the SuperBowl of course), it's going to be fruits, veggies, non-fried meats, wheat breads, and yogurt. Think I can do it? Neither do I. But I'm going to give it my all!
What about you bloggers? How do you get the motivation to stay fit? I'm so new to this!

Find Some Love Fest!

In honor of

I have a special Pinterest inspiration for today! Everything Valentine's Day. Sound like the most exciting challenge ever? I certainly thought so! Here goes:

Am I the only one obsessed with vintage valentines? They are just so precious and I would totally use still use this.

Modern valentines are pretty cute too.

I think I originally found this pillow through Caroline's blog, and I'm still so much in love with it.

Doesn't this make you wish you could go back to elementary school?

One day, when my sewing doesn't suck, I'm going to make this. I am in love with baby clothes!

I hope yall enjoyed my special Valentine's Day post. Make sure you check out some other links today.
