#ProjectMilf: Week 16

 #ProjectMilf was started 16 Weeks ago and I can't believe how quickly time is flying.  

Many of us have been challenged by this project for various reasons (time restraint, self doubt, procrastination, forgetfulness, etc.) but at the end of the day, becoming a Motivating Inspiring Leading Female is all about the journey and I hope we are all enjoying it.  I hope we continue to be inspired by each other as we move along week by week, month by month.   

Week 16 is about having fun with another prompt...here goes: If you could spend one hour with anyone, past or present, who would it be and why?

 

My Answer:

If i could spend an hour with someone, it would definitely be my dad.  He passed away when i was fairly young so I would love to spend that hour with him asking him questions, getting hugs and kisses and just being in his presence.  He was always a very inspiring man so i hope i would be inspired by his words and thoughts and just changed forever by being in his presence again.  
I wish this could totally happen!  

My Weekly Update:

1) Healthy Lifestyle Change
That Yoga from last week was amazing...i felt it in my non-existing abs.  And i must say that my stomach is going down.  I believe it's a myth that your stomach shrinks during breastfeeding...i have been breastfeeding for almost nine months and my baby stomach is still hanging around.  I'm hopeful it will shrink away within the one year.

2) Emotional Wellness

We are supposed to explore Annapolis, MD sometime this long weekend and that's exciting!! I heard Annapolis is beautiful.

3) Spiritual Fortitude
This week's goal is JUST TO MAKE IT CHURCH...i miss hearing the word from my Pastor...he is a preaching!

#ProjectMilf: Week 14

Good Morning Ladies!!!

Week 14 of #ProjectMilf is all about Mother's Day and or the woman in our lives.

We all have a mother/woman who inspires us to be our best in all we do.

A mother/woman we strive to be like.

Take a moment to celebrate this mother/woman today!!!

My Mom is definitely the woman I am celebrating.
She is strong and powerful and as annoying as she can be....
she is motivating to me in every way.
I love you Ma!!!

My Weekly Update:

1) Healthy Lifestyle Change
Total utter fail...i ate three slices of pizza and had steak and cheese sandwich 

and french fries all in one day.  What a glutton I was that day.

But i managed to eat my oatmeal in the mornings.

2) Emotional Wellness

Having our friends come and visit from TN was awesome.  They have been married five years so it's nice to see them interacting with one another.  And Baby Pancakes just fell in love with them too!!

3) Spiritual Fortitude
It was awesome to attend Church last Sunday.  It's been awesome.  

The message: speak up for what is right in the eyes of the Lord.  

We also attended Marriage Ministry and brought our friends who celebrated their 5 year anniversary...

i love our Church people who made it such a memorable experience. 

Now it's your turn...link up, grab the button and share your mother/woman whom you are celebrating,

and your weekly updates on your Milf goals!!

#ProjectMilf: Week 13 Review

Good Morning Ladies, can you believe it's May already...the days, weeks and months are going by so quickly.  Before we know it #ProjectMilf 2013 will come to an end and it will be exciting to find out how we all made it as Milfs...but in the meantime we work on our goals.

We thought Week 13 could be like Week 8 where we reviewed our goals. 

Looking at where we've come from and where we are coming.

And perhaps which goals needs to be crossed off our list
(because we are successful at it or you've become stuck on where to go with a goal)
Reviewing allows us to be honest with ourselves and each other.
 Take it away ladies...make it count..where are you in achieving your goals??

My Review:

This Project continues to be a successful one for me.

  I am finding that if i can't or don't make it to the gym, I can make healthy food choices.  

If i can't read the bible or devotional, i can pray more and listen to a sermon or a gospel song.  

If i can't spend time with my husband, I will make the moments we have together count.  

If i can't write in my journal, I will remind to do it another day.

I am reminded everyday that procrastination and self doubt are not my friend

 unless I want them to be.

I have power of myself and my choices. 

  I am a Motivating and Inspiring Leading Female in progress

 and that's a goal worth reaching.

I will be keeping all my goals.
Perhaps in the next review I will change them but for now they remain:

Healthy Lifestyle Change    
Emotional Wellness 
Spiritual Fortitude

ProjectMilf: Week 12

Good Morning Ladies!!!

Week 12 of #ProjectMilf is all about 

 embracing and meditating on some powerful words

 from the ever powerful and ever present Oprah Winfrey.   

Recently I had an epiphany in my bathroom as i was starring at Oprah's picture 

 and she looked so serene and it hit me....this is why people love and adore her...

because she is present every single time which makes her approachable and real...

she is herself inside and out.  

And i wish for all of us to be like that in our lives.

                             She is definitely a Motivating Inspiring Leading Female 
who we can all learn from. 

In honor of being present in our lives... 

Week 12 is all about embracing one of these quotes and meditating on

 how it makes you feel and how it can help you in week 12.  

The Quotes:

1. “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure."
2. “So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.”
3. “Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.”
4. “The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”
5. “Devote today to something so daring even you can’t believe you’re doing it.”

I am choosing #3 Where there is no struggle, there is no strength because i think sometimes i take it for granted that not everything is going to come easy and that a little or a lot of struggle is definitely what makes me stronger and gives me strength for the next challenge. 
 I will be using this to meditate on this week.

My Weekly Update:

1) Healthy Lifestyle Change
It was my anniversary so i indulged.  We went to a baseball game and enjoyed chicken fingers and fries and funnel cake...my favorite...it was the best.  The game was good.  But the company was greater.

2) Emotional Wellness

It was my anniversary and so Mr. Pancakes were very present this week with one another.  I made him the cutest book entitled "The Story of Us...thus far" with pictures, quotes and our love story....it's really cute.  I will share it on the blog one day.

3) Spiritual Fortitude
Still listening to my music in the morning to get centered.  It really does help.

#ProjectMilf 2013: Week 11

Good Morning Friends!!! 

We are are Week 11 and moving along with our goal. 

One of the things this project is reminding me of is the importance 

of carving out time to take care of ourselves.

 It's difficult sometimes because life can get in the way 

but it's a must because we are worth it. 

Cliche but it's true!!!

If you follow Toi at MsBabyPlan...

then you know she has been serving up some delicious smoothies the last several weeks. 

 And in honor of that we thought Week 11 of #ProjectMilf would be all about sharing HEALTHY SMOOTHIE/DRINK, 

a smoothie or drink that makes you feel like you are on a holiday, 

 therefore it just relaxes you or is so yummy but healthy and doesn't fall into unhealthy snacks.

It will also be fun to see what we all come up with so we can all try the different smoothies and drinks.

Grab a button and share away ladies...make it a smoothie one!

My Healthy Drink:

I am currently obsessed with Bolthouse Farms Smoothies.

I know i should be making my own but i haven't gotten to that point yet.

So whenever I want a good healthy smoothie...i go to Bolthouse.

They have different flavors and all of them are delicious.

My favorite ones are Amazing Mango and Strawberry Bananas.

I even tried the Green Goodness....and it was delicious.

I would highly recommend them!

They can be found at Target for a great deal.

My Weekly Update:

1) Healthy Lifestyle Change
Awesome...i have been working out more than usual but i am most proud of my eating.  Who would have thought that sauteed spinach and chicken/tilapia would be so awesome.  Thanks hubby for cooking up a storm.

2) Emotional Wellness

I am excited for our 2nd year anniversary in 5 days....i have no idea what we are going to do.  I really want to go on a trip but i am not sure that's going to happen because of school.  But i need for us to do something still.  Maybe this weekend we will decide!!

3) Spiritual Fortitude

I am still praying every day, listening to gospel music in the morning.

#ProjectMilf: Week 10

#ProjectMilf is moving along nicely and I think we are all hitting our strides.

We would like to all congratulate Brandi and her husband 

for making their dreams come true by moving to Italy....

we are so glad she has decided to share her journey with all of us.  

We are all living vicariously through her at this point.   

Week 10 is all about what music we listen to for relaxation 

and or to motivate us to work out.

You know music can do different things for us....

so in order to add to our and your play list...

we are all going to share our top three songs. 

Take it away ladies!!

 

My Play List:

Here are my top three for motivating me to work out:

1. Head Sprung by LLCoolJ....i can be bone tired and as soon as it starts...i can run another mile.

2. Right Round by FloRida...i love Hangover and that song is another great one too

3. Home by Phillips Phillips....there is something about this beat that gets me every single time.

4. Stars by Amanda Brown from the Voice....

i know that's four but this is currently one of my relaxing songs.

My Weekly Update:

1) Healthy Lifestyle Change
I have been using jump rope and weights to push myself this week. And i am tired but i feel wonderful. The last couple of weeks, I have been a complainer but thank you all for your motivating words...i feel encouraged each week.   

2) Emotional Wellness

I am excited for our 2nd year anniversary in 12 days....WOW!!! I can't believe it but it's true i will be a married woman for 2 years.  I probably need to go and get my rings re-sized..yes my fingers have become a little bigger too since the baby.  But it's all good!! 

3) Spiritual Fortitude

I am still praying every day, listening to gospel music in the morning. But i am still not doing well with the bible reading but this is work in progress so i know i will progress!!!

#ProjectMilf: Week 9 Wildcard

#PojectMilf

It was fun last week to review and keep ourselves and each other accountable...

but now are back to the grind.

And Week 9 is all about the WildCard...

this is an opportunity to challenge ourselves with

 whatever we want to try and achieve this week towards our main goals.

I love the idea of asking ourselves: What Would you do if you weren't afraid?

Be adventurous in Week 9....what's on your wildcard?

Weekly Update:

Every week is something else...

and i don't really want my #ProjectMilf journey to be one big 

complain fest but these feelings I am having are all part of the journey 

so i need to share and be true to the process. 

 Because it's not just about having a nice body but in the end...

I really want to be and live my life as a Motivating & Inspiring Leading Female!!

Confession Time: 

insanity is really doing something over and over again and expecting different results

...i may be insane or i may have no will power but whatever it is that i am going through....

at some point...i need to do something different...make different changes...

what would happen if i was consistent with my 

workouts, eating, writing in my journal and reading my bible?

 I would actually feel much better about myself and continue to do more.

Because my fellow Milfs are doing it every week.

  Sometimes i think i need therapy just to figure out why i do what i do but then I realize...

first i am a tad bit dramatic, and second

i just need to make better choices every single

 second, minute, hour, day, months, year and so on and so forth.

And the quote rings true again: I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul!

My Wildcard Goal this week: To add jump rope and boxing into my workouts.

1) Healthy Lifestyle Change

I am on Spring Break this week so i didn't do much but Baby Pancakes and I have been around and about so I've been getting my workouts in that way.  Last night we came home and I was tired...I needed a nap.

2) Emotional Wellness

We are finally doing our taxes...oh Mr. Pancakes...how I love thee!  I know we are cutting it close but sometimes that's how Team Pancakes roll...terrible I know...we will do better next time.  Monday was an awesome day for Team Pancakes...we had a family day which was really nice...just spending time with my boys is a nice and wonderful feeling.

3) Spiritual Fortitude

Fail...fail...fail but I do pray everyday.  But i feel like a hypocrite every Sunday when our Pastor says "study to show thyself approved, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."  I need to get to learning The Word!!
