THE CRAZY WEATHER work outs!

Well guys....as you all know it is crazy outside, and the predictions say it is going to be even crazier tomorrow and Wednesday!  Needless to say...my work outs are suffering!  It is so much harder for me to work out when I am at home then when I go to the gym:(  Tomorrow I am going to force myself to do a Tae Bo and lots of other exercises I know!  It was a tough weekend and I can feel a tough week coming on.  Not eating wise, but I am just exhausted!  Jonathan and I watched our first episode of I use to be fat on MTV last week, and I really liked it!  I kind of wish they would show more of what they were doing and what they were eating, but it is def. inspiring!  On each episode they have a 110 day count down sheet that they rip off each day....110 days to reach their goal.  We got the idea of doing that for me.  Not my final goal, but one of my goals.  At first I was going to go with a goal by my birthday July 8th, but instead I went with July 12th...which is the day that we leave for Las Vegas (my favorite place on Earth) for Leah Neal's wedding!  I'm not sure what my goal is going to be by then, but that gives me 177 days to meet my goal!  Actually...I have just decided my goal is going to be 50 pounds...which would put my weight at 157.8 pounds!  That is 2.5 pounds a week!  That is not my final goal, just one of my bigger goals!  I know I can do it!  I just have to stay focused and work hard!  I need to just continue doing what I am doing know and I know I can reach it!  Well guys...I'm exhausted....Stay warm and safe!  Thank you all for everything!  Have a great snow day!

Road to weightloss

WOW...Scary!

So...if any of you have looked at the pictures before this blog...you can tell that I decided to change up my outfit in my progress pictures.  I did not do this because I think I look good, or even should be allowed to be in this outfit.  I did this because I feel like it is the better way to see the weight coming off myself!  I have already put everything else out there...why not show even more what my body has become.  The shirt I was wearing was a tight shirt...even when I lose 50 pounds it will still be pretty tight..that's why I chose to change the outfit up!  Well tomorrow is the final weigh in of month number 1!  WOO HOO!  This is the 4th weigh in!  I can't believe it has already been a month!  I am super excited about tomorrow!  It should be a decent number!  I actually feel GREAT about this week!  I have worked out tons and best of all...I have eaten like GOLD!  I am hoping for 3 pounds, but will be pleased with any loss at all, even if it is point something!  I am also super excited because tomorrow morning my husband and I are going to run Lake Hefner!  Man...running is the most amazing thing EVER!  I love it!  Well I will for sure be back tomorrow sometime after weigh in!  Thank you all for all of your support!  Love ya'll!

Lately!

I feel like I have not been taking enough pictures or even enough videos lately!  I feel like my life has been so stinkin crazy!  My goal from today on, is to start keeping up better with my blog!  I feel like I have done wonderful this week, but when I look in the mirror I don't feel like I look like I am losing any weight!  I know that it is harder for me to notice a change since I see myself everyday, I just hope the scale shows it this week!  I love the way I eat now!  I don't think I have gone one day without getting all of my fruits and veggies in!  For me....that's crazy!  I have been running like crazy lately!  I ran 7.37 miles on Monday...in the morning I ran 1.13 and then that afternoon I ran 6.24!  It was amazing!  I felt like I could have continued for another hour at least, but I had someone coming over so I had to get home, and my phone died :(  I don't feel like I should have a problem at all with the half marathon!  I will run the entire thing, but I am a very slow runner!  I have no doubt of everyone I know I will be the last to finish....and you know what?  I am completely ok with that!  I am competing against no one but  myself!  My only goal is to run the entire time, and to finish!  I feel like as I lose more and more weight my time will start getting back to what it use to be!  Well I am going to blog again this evening, but Molly is fussing (she got her shots today) so I need to hold my love!  Hope ya'll all have a great afternoon!  Thank you for all the encouragement!

Yum yum yum yum yum...delicioso

My ouchi from when I fell running...

Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5

A LONG tiring week...

Well this week is FINALLY over!  It has been a pretty tough week!  I don't really know why...maybe it's because I didn't lose any weight!  Honestly though...I'm not upset at all!  I did the same things that I have been doing, just didn't lose any!  But on a good note...I have lost 2...YES...2 pant sizes!  I can't believe it!  This is one reason I will not be discouraged by no loss this week!  Not only do I feel better, but now I am totally seeing it!  I can feel it though...this is going to be a GREAT week!  So you all probably know by know that I LOVE the show the Biggest Loser, well Jonathan and I started a thing at our church to help get everyone healthy in 2011!  It is kind of like the biggest loser...well I mean I guess only bc we are call it the Biggest Loser! haha  It's more that people will be trying to lose weight, but just by making better choices, and hopefully a lifestyle change!  I really hope it works and that everyone does well!  I want all of these great people to feel the way I have been feeling since I am eating SO MUCH BETTER!  I ran 2.32 miles or somewhere around there today!  I DID NOT want to!  Actually I was very mad as I was doing it because I was so tired and did not want to do it, but I did and by the end of it I felt a little better...with the exception of my last quarter mile I tripped and feel flat on my face.  At that point I was livid I was running, but at least I was almost finished!  All in All it was an ok run and I needed to do it so I'm happy I did!  By the way...I'm not going to lie and I know I am a dork, but going grocery shopping is probably one of my favorite things to do!  Especially now that we are buying only healthy things!  We left Crest tonight and Jonathan said, We should totally come here one night without the girls... wouldn't that be so fun?  Then he proceeded to suggest that be our next date night!  Now I might LOVE grocery shopping, but come on baby not as a date!  He was kidding though...well I hope he was at least!  Well guys...I am setting a small goal this week for 3 pounds!  I need a weight loss this week..BIG or small...it makes me no difference!  A loss is a loss!  I hope you all have a marvelous week...and eat healthy!  Thank you all for everything!  Good Night Ya'll!

Stess...

I feel so so excited about weighing in tomorrow, but I am also stressed!  I have been working so stinking hard and eating wonderfully, I just know one of these weigh ins will not be as well as my others!  Even though I do everything I should...for some reason I just feel that this week!  I mean...maybe not...maybe I will always be losing!  I'm not trying to not be positive, I just have this sick stressed feeling!  I am going to eat and work out today the same I always do, I just hope there is a negative on the scale in the morning!  WOO HOO!  I can't wait!  Thank you all for your support!

Changing right before my eyes...

I can't believe how much I feel my body changing!  I have recently been actually seeing the change.  I see it a little in my face, and a few days ago I had to buy smaller work out pants!  Tonight we went to the gym and I had an AMAZING work out!  I ran 4.25 miles and then did all my strength work outs!  I know this is goofy, but I am so passionate about my health and body now!  It makes me so happy to think of what I am putting in my body, especially compared to what I use to!  My husband a few years ago told me something(he still tells me the same thing all the time) that you just feel so good knowing you are treating your body well and feeding it healthy things!  He has always told me about my body being a temple and now I really believe it and am treating it like one!  He told me...Even when he is having bad days, at least he feels well because of how he treats his body!  I know it is kind of goofy, but I totally see and understand what he was saying!  I am so blessed that he has taught me so much and that we get to teach our children about health together!  I am starting to get pretty anxious about this weeks weigh in!  It should be good news, but like I say every week...if it is low or no loss at all...thats ok I am not going to get intimidated!  I can't expect HUGE numbers all the time!  Oh and by the way...I LOVE running!  It makes me feel so amazing!  If you have never ran...put some great songs on your I pod and just run! When I first started running a little over 2 years ago I ran .6 miles my first run!  So don't feel intimidated if you can't run far!  Pace yourself...don't run...just jog!  Breath in your nose and out your mouth!  That to me is the key to me making it far!  Anyways thank you all for helping me!  I appreciate all of you so much!

Goals are being MET!

Well....it's been 2 days since I wrote a blog or posted almost anything!  It has been a pretty busy last 2 days!  But if you all watched my weigh in video....then you all know I lost 6 POUNDS this past week!  I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!  I am down 14 pounds in 14 days~  And you know what makes me so happy...because I am not dieting!  I am changing my life!  I'm not kidding guys...I feel it now and see it now!  I have 2 pairs of pants that I bought a few days after Christmas....and they look silly on me because they are to big!  OH MY GOODNESS! I LOVE IT!  I feel like my life is now on track and the way it is suppose to be!  And you know what.....I have to brag for a short second....my husband makes me feel like the most special woman on this earth!  He is my inspiration!  The way he makes me feel ALL the time, but especially the way he makes me feel because of how hard I am working!  He is so proud of me and is always telling me!  It makes me want to do even better!  What a special husband I have!  I'm so blessed!  I have a few more small goals and rewards that I would like to share with ya'll!  First...my next goal (not for this week, but short term goal) is my 20 pound mark...which I am 6 pounds from!  I will be 203!  WOO-HOO!  When I hit that....my husband is taking me to the Hard Rock in Tulsa!  I know everyone says it is over rated, but we just want a getaway!  We are going to get a suite and just relax for a day and a half!  I can't wait!  I am not really making weekly goals, because I don't want to set one to high or to low...and then maybe be disappointed.  I know I will probably hit a Plateau at some point, so I just want to prepare myself and not be frustrated with it!  Unless I'm like my Best Friend Denise and NEVER hit a plateau!  I do need to brag again...this time about My best friend Denise!  You guys...2 years ago this month she started her weight loss journey by doing weight watchers!  This girl KILLED IT!  She met her goal weight in like 6 months and loss a total of I think about 50 pounds give or take a few!  She looks so amazing and has a whole new lifestyle of eating healthy!  I'm so proud of her!  She was unbelievably beautiful and happy before, but now I can tell she is even more complete!  Love you D!  Your AMAZING and a HUGE inspiration!  Your special to me!  I have been working out pretty hardcore this week!  My husband just got a new schedule (woo hoo) and is working 8-5 instead of 9-7, so now we get to go workout as soon as he gets home!  I LOVE working out together!  There is one thing that I love and hate about this new change I have made in my life!  I use to never feel guilty about eating badly!  Now I feel guilty about almost everything I eat...even though I have not put one single thing bad in my mouth since I started 2 and a half weeks ago!  I don't know why...it's not like I would not eat because of it, but it is more like if I get Subway (which is the only place I have eaten out so far) I feel like I am cheating!  I don't know why I feel like that!  But I just tell myself....Brittany...you ate a small subs with no cheese or any dressing...and my side is apple slices!  Get over it!  hahaha....Anyways...my new lifestyle is amazing and I could not be more pleased!  Thank you all for all your support!  Ya'll are helping more than you know!  Love you all!

Happiest I have EVER BEEN!

Well let me just start out by saying what I have been thinking all day!  I have been thinking about how I have always been a happy person and always LOVED my life, but not like the way I do now!  I absolutely LOVE life!  I have never in my life been as happy as I am at this point in my life...I have the Lord who is helping me through all of this...what a GREAT GOD!  I feel so lucky to have him!  Without him...NONE of this is possible! I have my unbelievable husband...I can't believe I was blessed with such an AMAZING man...he is the most supportive person I know!  Then to top it all off....I have 2 beautiful children that are my everything!  I am so proud that I am getting healthy so that they grow up healthy and looking up to me!  Madi Rae said to me today, "Mommy...I don't like french fries" and I said, " That's good Madi Rae, but it's ok if you do,"  then she said,"But mommy...I do like Chicken nuggets"  HAHA It was so cute!  I don't want my children to ever think they can never eat things like that...I just always want them to understand they can not live on it everyday!  So now on to something else....I decided on another small goal!  I want to fit into my wedding dress!  I know all of you are probably like...SERIOUSLY?  You got married a year and a half ago!  No excuse at all, but I did have a child and I gained A LOT of weight...hence one of the reasons I am doing this blog!  I think I was about 190 at our wedding...so I still have a bit to go, but I think it is not to crazy of a goal!  I am really excited!  Also...I just thought I would share this!  I love buffalo sauce!  I eat it on EVERYTHING!    I just think it adds so much flavor and it is low in calories!  I know this might be bad, but I think one of the reasons is because I love buffalo wings...especially boneless (the worst ones for you) but it kind of makes me think I am eating them!  Anyways....tomorrow is weigh in day!  I CAN'T WAIT!  I feel like it should be good news!  I have eaten only good things and worked out a TONS!  We will see!  I know I have changed my weigh in day 3 times now, but the reason I have changed it and am sticking to Thursday is because starting tomorrow morning I am going to something called TOPS!  I had never heard of it until I talked to this girl in Kansas City that was going to it!  I am so excited!  It stands for...Taking Off Pounds Sensibly!  What it is, is I think more like a support group type thing!  I don't think they have a eating plan or anything to follow, but you do weigh in and you share things that have worked for you!  It is only $1 a week!  I think this is good for me! I thought about going to overeating support groups, but that has never been my problem!  I have never over ate...I just chose the wrong things to eat!  Ok...I am going to stop now because I am sure you are all bored!  Thank you all for your support!  Check out my early morning weight in!  I will be pleased with anything I see on the scale!  WOO HOO!  Love ALL OF YA'LL!

What I want!

Do you know what I want?  I want to buy a pair of designer jeans!  Yes it is true...I have NEVER bought a pair of designer jeans.... not because I think they are to expensive.... or I didn't have the money, but because I have NEVER fit into them!  I want a pair!  I want jeans period.  I don't wear jeans to often, mostly because I don't like the way they fit me.  I am always wearing a dress or stretchy pants.  Now... I do LOVE both of those, but the whole reason is because I have always been to big.  If you notice, most overweight woman do the same thing I do.  No jeans!  That is one of my goals for sure, but that will be a while...and you know what?  That is ok!  I don't want plus size designer jeans..I want the real ones!  I have a while to get there...most designer jeans highest size is I think a 36!  I know most of you probably think  OH MY GOSH that is huge...well let me just be honest...I am a lot bigger than that!  But the last time I was a 36 waist I was 150 pounds!  Even when I was small I was still a bigger size because that is just how my body is!  I'm not so worried about my actual number size as I am being healthy and feeling GREAT!  If I could look the way I did in my Jr prom dress...I would be one happy girl!  I loved the way I looked then, but you know what size it was?  It was a 12!  I'm ok with that size, especially if I weight 140 and am that size, because I know I will be fit and healthy!  Bring it on!  Bring on the designer jeans!  I am so ready to start shopping in the good stores again...not the "special" stores...aka plus size stores!  I want Victoria Secret bras again....not Lane Bryant!  Nothing against Lane Bryant...it's GREAT...it's just not suppose to be the store I buy my clothes in anymore! I'm sure you all think I am crazy for saying my sizes and where I have to shop right now...but I am fed up with it!  I am so happy I am doing this!  I just felt all this in my heart and had to write it!  I love all you guys!  Thank you so much for everything!  Have a great night!

A LONG LONG Weekend!

Well it's over...My first weekend away with my new healthy lifestyle...and I did GREAT!  I can't believe I did as well as I did!  I truly didn't eat anything I should not have!  I worked out both nights...the 2nd night the workout was jogging up the 20 flights of stairs to get to my room! I could not believe how hard it was!  I think it was harder to do that than run a few miles!  I can't believe how much I feel like I have already changed!  I feel so much stronger...I can say NO to food that is not good for me!  I did it ALL weekend!  I am so thankful the lord has given me the strength for this journey!  I know it is still 5 days away, but I can't wait till my weigh in on Friday!  As long as it is at least 2 pounds I will be very happy!  And you know what...I have already said it, If I don't lose any I will not get discouraged!  Thank you all for your encouragement!  Hope you all have a wonderful night!

Goals...Goals...Goals...

Well it is 7:08a.m. on Friday morning in Kansas City and I am up and adam drinking a 90 calorie tall skinny vanilla latte!  We have a Starbucks at our hotel!  Downtown Kansas City is really nice....I love it!  Last night when we got here my sponsor Connie and I did a big loop walking outside downtown then went up to the gym at the hotel and worked out!  It was a great 45 minute work-out!  I feel so blessed not only to have an amazing sponsor in Premier, but to also have a work-out partner on trips!  Working-out just makes you feel so good...and working-out when you are on a trip makes you feel REALLY good!  I was thinking about goals the other day and I thought of another one.  Well you all probably know one of my goals is the half marathon...well another goal that goes along with that one that I am setting for myself is....I want to be able to wear shorts in it!  haha!  I know it is kind of goofy, but I could wear shorts in it right now, but I want to be comfortable in my shorts...not yanking on them the entire run!  So I have watched about a fourth of the Biggest Loser so far....and let me tell you...I am always emotional when I watch that show, but this year it is a whole different emotion!  I am double as emotional....I'm assuming it is because I am going through the same thing!  Man that show...what an amazing inspiration!  I am feeling so positive about this weekend and how much I am going to grow as a Jeweler, but especially how much I am going to grow on my weight loss journey!  If I have ever been on a diet or eating healthy, and then went out of town...my entire diet was always shot because I would eat whatever I wanted when I was out of town.....NOT THIS TIME!  I'm doing it this time...everywhere we have stopped to eat so far I have asked for a nutritional guide!  YEE-HAW!  I'm pretty excited about my next weigh-in!  It is suppose to be on Wednesday, but I think I am going to push it back to Friday and start weighing in on Fridays.  I hate waiting that extra 2 days because I am so anxious, I just like the idea of a Friday weigh-in!  Well I hope you all have the most amazing weekend!  Thank you as always for all your kind words of encouragement!  Jonathan...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH and I miss you and the girls like CRAZY!  Thank you Jonathan for all your help and encouragement...I get chocked up thinking about you, because without you and your help Jonathan...I COULD NOT be doing this!  What a blessing you are to me!  Love you!

My last 2 days!

Hey guys!  So It has been a BUSY last 2 days!  I am now in Kansas City for Regional Rally with Premier!  This is going to be my biggest challenge yet!  So far... so good!  Yesterday was my first weight in...and I lost 8 pounds!  Woo-Hoo!  I can't believe it!  I am so pumped and so inspired by everyone!  I told my husband today....seeing fast food....I don't even crave it!  I know this weekend I am going to do well because I have it in my head!  I just am trying to stay postitive and brought alot of my own food!  I am making this short and sweet tonight because we just got here and I am going to work out!  I LOVE my new way of life!  This is me!  This is who I am suppose to be!  Thank you all again for everything!  Have an amazing weekend....I am still thinking of a weight loss goal for the end of biggest loser!  I will set it on Tuesday!

Biggest Loser!

SO....the biggest loser started a new season tonight!  I have not watched it yet, I have it on dvr...so I will watch it tomorrow!  But let me tell you I CAN'T WAIT!  I love that show! That is one of the shows that inspired me!  I would love to be on that show, but would hate to leave Jonathan and the girls for so long...especially when I know once I was ready I could do it myself!  I decided if I had enough courage to maybe be on national television weighing in and working out... then why not be a blog!  I have made a few more goals for myself that kind of go along with the show the biggest loser!  When I was working out today all I could think of was the show!  I was thinking of big challenges they did in the past season!  One was bike (on a stationary bike) a marathon!  I think this would be a great work out and goal for me to do!  Another one I thought of that was on a past season was 1,000 steps on a stepper!  I think this one would be a GREAT workout because doing the steps is tough!  I am anxious to see other challenges they do this season that I can add into my workout as well!  I also wanted to set a weight loss goal to meet by the season finale of the biggest loser, the season is 3 months long (that we see, the contestants are actually doing it for 6 months),but I wanted a little help from you guys!  I am in this as much as they are, I just have half the time they do!  Remember...I am eating as well as they are, but I can only work out an hour to 2 a day!  So give me some ideas and I will decided by next Tuesday what my goal will be!  But enough with that...Tomorrow is the FIRST of many weigh ins!!  I am sooooo excited and nervous to see what I loss!  I am confident I have loss! My trainer(I am not going to him right now, but will be back to him soon) Shawn Busby always told me...if I work out the way I do and eat clean...it's math...you WILL LOSS WEIGHT!  That is why I feel ok about tomorrow morning!  I also know that no matter what...I WILL NOT get discouraged!  On ending this week, I want to tell yall all once again THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your support and encouragement!  If I have not written you back I will...it just might take a bit!  I feel so good about all of this and it again is because of ALL OF YOU!  Thank you all!  Check out the video bright and early in the morning to see how much I lost in week one!  Have a marvelous evening!

Tough Day

Today so far has been a tough day so far...not only for eating, but mostly for just my sanity!  I feel like everything is falling through and I have a very overwhelming amount of things I have to get finished before Wednesday.  I planned on going to work out with the girls this morning at 10:30 at All-American, but then Jonathan and I forgot that I had to take him to get his car.  So I thought...well I can just work out at my gym on the north side and see if my sister or mother would help watch the girls while I work out (there is no daycare at this gym)  When I got there my sister was still asleep and my mother was exhausted, so I didn't even want to ask because I felt so bad!  They help out all the time as it is!  So I had missed my chance to work out until late tonight:(  I had a client coming at noon!  My noon client got here... and thank the lord my sister-in-law was almost here, because the kids were not happy!  After my client left I wanted to cook a healthy lunch, and Molly Mae just did not want to work with me!  My sister-in-law was still here, but I never want her to think I take advantage of her.  I know she doesn't, but she helps me so much when I have a client or am overwhelmed!  But the good news is...I made her, myself, and Madi Rae a healthy lunch for today.  I still have a very dirty house to get spotless by Wednesday and one more client today, but at least I have not cheated myself with eating...because believe me...today was the first day I have really wanted a Dt. Coke....but I'm not!  Have a great rest of your Monday!

Hello blog!  This has been an amazing weekend!  A few reasons why!  One I love my life and have a wonderful husband, and wonderful children, 2 because it is 2011...I LOVE IT, and 3 because this is truly the first weekend in my life to say I ate healthy the ENTIRE weekend!  Yesterday for the football game we went to a friends house, there was tons of yummy things that I really wanted there, but I chose to only drink 4 glasses of water and have about 10 baby carrots!  I was so proud of myself!  I have NEVER done that.  Usually I would just sneek one or two chips!  Not last night!  Then this evening we had womens group at church and OH MY GOODNESS there was so much food!  It was so tempting and amazing, but I decided I would bring something healthy so I could eat.  I brought carrots again, and tonight I had about 15!  Until last night I never even liked carrots!  Man...GOD is so good!  He is helping me through all of this!  I feel so blessed that he has given me the strength to do this!  This afternoon at about 4:30 I set out to do a short run...I was thinking just 1 or 2 miles...I ended up running 4!  It just felt right...I didn't want to stop!  This is the energy and motivation I have been wanting for years!  I am sure this time I am sticking with it!  After church today we stopped by Crest to pick up some food and at the check out there was the People half their size issue!  I buy it every year for motivation!  This year seeing them made me more excited than ever because I have never been so motivated in my life!  This next weekend I believe is going to be a challenge for me, mainly because I will be out of town for 3 nights and 4 days...without my husband.  I know I can do it, I just think it is going to be extra hard!  I would love your prayers for me to have the strength to just say NO!  It has only been 5 days and I feel like a different woman!  My energy levels are higher and I just feel better about myself!  And you know what?  I truly feel confident the scale will agree on Wednesday!  I can't wait for Wednesday!  Thank you all again for your encouragement and love!  Hope yall all have a wonderful week!

Silk

I just watched my video that we made this morning and I just realized something!  We drink soy milk and it's called silk!  Do you know why they call it silk?  Because it's soy...so they replace the m with a s!  haha what a loser...I just understood that! haha  BTW soy milk is so yummy!

Temptations...

So I just finished eating my late lunch, but might I say it was mighty delicious!  I had a turkey wrap I made myself!  YUMMY!  So I titled this temptations because me saying NO to temptations is what is going to get me to where I want to be with my weight and health!  It's already been pretty hard, but I know it is going to get even harder.  Last night Jonathan and I went to Chelinos before we went to the Thunder game and I was STARVING!  We had a gift card that is why we decided to go there.  Jonathan said we can just tell them to not bring us the chips, but I said I want them to just so I can prove to myself that I can do it! And I did it, I didn't eat one!  WOO-HOO!  Then I just got some chicken and beans!  It was wonderful and very filling!  But I LOVED it, I had never left a Mexican restaurant satisfied!  Usually I am miserably full!  I was really proud of myself for it!  Another temptation was this morning!  We went to pick the girls up at my sisters house and my mom and sisters had baked!  Oh my goodness, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and my mom was cooking her amazing chex mix....It all looked so amazing!  Usually If I was trying to eat healthy or diet I would just have one or two and think..this can't hurt me to much!  But that is why I'm where I am today with my weight!  Today as my work out since the gym was closed my husbands uncle and cousins had rented this dodge ball place out in Del City and oh my gosh it was so much fun!  2 hours of dodge ball, it was a GREAT workout and a nice change!  I just want to say thank you again to all of you giving me encouragement and all the nice words!  I love you guys all so much and am so thankful for you!  Hope you all have the most wonderful year! I know I will...this is the year I change my life!
