So, Cody's birthday is this Sunday & I just got his gift in the mail...
I got him the PS3 game, Call of Duty: Black Ops - and after I buy it, my sister warns:
"Get ready for some freakin' zombies cause that'll be all you hear for hours"
I guess that means I should buy some ear plugs on the way home lol...but if it makes Cody happy, I can deal with it - it's his birthday present after all! :)
Now...I just need to figure out what to do for him on his actual birthday...
Any ideas, anyone?

[BOOO! ...so sad!]I do know (for those of you who already follow the show) that in the next episode, Bones will be having the baby!!!!!!!!!! AHH so excited! lol....I like seriously can't wait :)
Any other BONES fans out there ~ Give me a shout and let me know you're out there!

~ Food for Thought ~
Ok, so I know I started this blog all about losing weight - but I just saw this and definitely agree!
Here's to getting skinny - BUT - still maintaining a healthy body image!

Back to normal...
So this week - my [or what I consider them at this point] mother & father in law were visiting from Florida, and I gotta say - I love them, but I'm glad that they are gone.
I am a person who is most comfortable living by a schedule. During the week - I wake up at a certain time, have my morning duties done by a certain time, go to work, eat lunch at the same time of day, etc. When we have guests - especially ones who insist on cooking - it always screws me up [hey, I'm not gonna complain too much - they know how to cook really well & when I don't have to cook thats always a plus]. The crappy thing is, all I have eaten this week is like really rich, heavy foods - and I feel like UGH. I also haven't worked out AT ALL this week which is a "very very bad, Anna!". So needless-to-say, I need to get back on track!
Any suggestions on what workout I should do? Oh - I should also ask, what kind of workout have you found easiest with a dog(s)? I don't think I could handle both my puppies at the same time [especially Cali - she pulls like a freight train], but I would love to find a good workout that I can do with them.
Thanks & I hope ya'll have a great day!
***Special shout out to my sister, Ashley - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!***

Let Me Introduce You...
Seeing as I have only posted about myself really, I figured I could take a quick second to introduce you to my little family...
[I will start posting more pictures in my Gallery soon - I am just getting used to this blogging thing, and I am really bad about procrastinating so hopefully it'll be up soon]
Cody is originally from California, but came to GA every summer to visit his father here. His dad was the General Manager for my family's business, a hydraulic repair company, and when Cody would come out for the summer Cody would work at the shop with him & learned the trade. Cody still currently works at the shop as the welder/fabricator, but dabbles in a bit of everything there. When I started working at the shop after I graduated - Cody asked me out & the rest is history!
We've been together for about 5 years now & couldn't be happier! We have accomplished a lot since we've been together - for instance we've already bought a house and are currently renovating it ourselves. Its hard work and takes a lot of time when you are on a budget, but it will get done eventually! We both look forward to getting married and starting a family hopefully all within the next few years and we both can't wait to start the next chapter in our lives!
Anways, thanks for taking the time to read this & I look forward to posting more soon!
I hope everyone has a great hump day!

First Post!
Hi There!
My name is Anna, and I am 23 years old. I live in GA with my wonderful boyfriend of 5 years (& counting!), Cody, and with our 4 fur-babies: Cali (dog - blue pitbull), Loca (dog - mix), Baby Girl (kitty), and Puss (kitty).
I have struggled with my weight since ever since I can remember. I have been really self-conscious my whole life too. It never really changed until I started getting into horses when I was in my mid-teens, in high school. I got my first horse, and with all the new work & responsibilities - I started losing a lot of weight! I actually lost about 30 pounds and kept it off quite easily. After I graduated high school, I moved out with my best friend, Katie & a whole new set of obstacles were put ahead of me.
On top of moving out (which is hard to deal with on its own at that age) - I had started dating my (still current) boyfriend, Cody - my first REAL relationship. We hung out a lot, and went out a lot and ate very badly - I guess we just got caught up in each other and didn't really think about what we were doing. So what ended up happening is I gained like 50 freaking pounds, and was heavier that I had ever been. I am lucky to have my boyfriend because with a weight gain like that - I think most guys would scare away. He has always told me he doesn't care what I look like & that he just loves me for me - but I HATE/LOATHE myself for letting myself get to this point. Currently I hate to admit it, but I weigh about 190-200 pounds. Its HORRIBLE. For my height, I should be more like 130-140. That's what I was when Cody and I first got together (and I thought I was fat then!).
So I decided to start this blog as a motivator, helpful resource, outlet, etc. on my journey of once again...losing a bunch of weight. I want this not only because it is good for my health, but I want to finally FEEL beautiful, feel comfortable in my own skin, and to enjoy my youth as much as I can - not be miserable the whole time! I also want to look sexy for my man...I mean come on, who doesn't want to look hot for their partner?
Anyways - I hope you all will join me in my weight loss journey & I will always appreciate constructive criticism, helpful tips, motivation, etc!
Thanks so much!
