New Year, New Poses!

It took a while to master this one, now I am starting to perfect it :-)

I have been able to do this pose on both sides, and now am working on head and handstands now that my ear is better. 

I have set my lofty goals for 2017:

Less Chocolate

Better lunches, sorry Smoothie King

More fun

Yoga Workshops

and of course, spending less. 

Last year, I cut back on shoes and only bought 3 pair all year :-)

GO T.

House Updates!

So I repainted my bathroom......this is what it did look like:

And now, Ivory and tan...........

And the back yard has come a long way, I have it all together now!

Super happy :-)

and with lights on.......

 

Remember it started like this.........

Now if only I could do the kitchen like this!

:-)

Inspiration huh?

New Year Goals 2016!

So this year I decided I needed to set some new goals for 2016!

I am planning a trip to the beach, here is a dress that I got.......

for just $6 bucks. 

This is my INSPIRATION dress. 

I found this nice little core workout, I thought I would start this in February:

So I also got a great deal on this tank top for Yoga....

Its called a "slimmer" top but I just like the print for my burgundy 

Sturrup pants. 

Sweeeeeet. 

My 2016 Goals or Promises to myself :

Workout 15 minutes 3 times a week in the morning

Cut back on sugar 

Continue getting better at instructing my Yoga classes

Ride a bike on the weekends 2 times a week. 

Moving on to bigger and better accomplishments in 2016 :-)

Big Bird Yoga and Memories!

It was a fun Halloween week!

I won 2nd place as Big Bird!

Here are a few yoga poses I thought was so fun to do.......

Big Bird Yoga :-)

Lately I have been missing my mom, so I have been wearing her necklace. 

I love it so. 

Need some Motivation?

OR this.........

Today's workout:

3.0 Mile run - Time 32 minutes

New Fountain!

I am thrilled with this new fountain!

Hoping the birds will drink from it, and I have it on an on off switch. I need to get a longer one but for now its working great. 

This space is 15x12

So I moved my firepit closer to the patio blocks

I want to build that up but for now, I have it on the blocks I had on hand. 

I like having water and fire in the space, and would like the fountain under the Rose of Sharon but it drops flowers so that would be a problem. 

The space is like a little retreat......and I am pleased. I can't wait till next spring to get some sod, it will look so much better :-)

Ok, this is the pose I have been working on, baby bird. 

its much tougher then it looks for sure.

Birthday Time!

I had a great Birthday!

Celebrating on the new back patio with the new fire pit, 

made it all special and worth the work I put into it!

New deck box!

I got the deck box and Home Depot for just $59.00!

The new crepe myrtle in front has already bloomed too. 

I re-did the side bed, with adding grass plants

I just can't get enough of this space now!!!

Me and my sister went to our favorite places.......

and had a great time!

Some cards and gifts I got it was another great year to reflect on.

The Wall!

I got to have lunch with my Agent, it was so fun!

So back to the wall that started last spring. 

Garage and wall equal mess!

All jacked up.......waiting on the insurance ugh!

Had to haul the dirt to the back.........

This is how it look now with lots'o rocks!

How it was with dirt.......

Used this tractor wow!

The before and after, now it settles then I can paint and do fun stuff! 

Yay!

My mint is up nice this year, yum!

Inspirational pictures.....

Design ideas for the back:

Love these colors and they work with what I have. 

I wish...........

and these colors are also great with my patio set that matches these chairs. 

I'm thinking making a 9x11 paved section, could be cheaper then building and I can keep some grass just not sure yet. I like it too :-)

And the new summer rug at The Barbie House. 

Green!

Workouts:

Yoga 4 times a week

Walking 2-3 miles at lunch.
