Skinny Jenny

Okay, I've been a little hesitant to talk about my recent weight loss. I didn't want to be one of those annoying people on Facebook who posted ten times a day about some awesome weight loss product resulting in their feeds being hidden. I decided to post about it on my blog instead. LOL. I'm not even sure who reads this thing. Well, anyways, the product that I started using is called Plexus Slim. My son, Landry's sweet preschool teacher gave me a sample to try about two months ago and I fell in love with it almost immediately. I placed a order and looked forward to getting back into my pre baby jeans. Those of you who know me know that I work out on a regular basis. I also try to stay under a certain amount of calories daily. However, I was still struggling. Plexus has definitely help with my cravings and with my energy level at the gym. It's awesome. It's not a meal replacement, just a mix you add to water and drink 30 minutes before breakfast in the morning. There is also an accelerator that you can take as well that helps jump start the weight loss and gives you that extra burst of energy without making you shakey. I actually decided to become a Plexus ambassador after several friends decided to try it and were seeing the same results as I was. As of today, I've lost 12 pounds. I'm pretty much at my goal weight now. The focus now is maintaining.

My First Blog

First Bloggy Blog

This would be my very first blog and it has definitely been a long time coming. I've wanted to start one for years. I decided today is the day. Today I would finally start one. I'm still unsure what this blog will really be about but that's ok. I'll just roll with the flow and figure things out as I go. I guess I should probably introduce myself although if you are reading this then you probably already know me. As a side note to my brother. Please refrain your comments in regards to my punctuation and grammar. Thanks bro. 
Ok, here goes. My name is Jennifer Milton and I'm a married mother of three little boys. Cooper is six, Landry is three and Slade is 6 months. They definitely keep me busy. I stay home with them while my husband works full time. We both go to school as well. I go part time and he goes full. Hopefully these busy schedules pay of in the future. Ben and I have been married for 6 mostly wonderful years. LOL. We are in the process of buying our first home together. I can't wait to put all my boards on Pinterest to work decorating our home. 
I'm looking forward to the challenge of creating a cozy, inviting place on a budget.
Speaking of a budget, the word is almost foreign to me. But lately, I've been having a daily dose of Dave Ramsey. We are really wanting to learn how to live on one. Dreaming of a debt free future influenced my New Year's resolution this year. OK, here goes. I'm going to go the entire year staying away from my favorite past time. That being shopping. I am not allowing myself to buy any brand new clothes. The only kind of clothes I will be purchasing this year will be the second hand kind. This will definitely be a challenge considering I recently lost some weight and my clothes aren't fitting all that well. I am determined to tackle this resolution though. Learning to not pine after worldly things. 
Gave myself one more resolution as well. That being no more sugar! I swear after giving birth to my last baby I dream on a daily basis of cupcakes. Baked goods are my Heaven. I crave sweets something fierce! Today was going to be the day but that day didn't go as planned. By 2pm I was fening for a cookie and I caved. That cookie turned into one more cookie and then a chocolate croissant and then another cookie and a air head. Put myself in a sugar coma. I'm not even sure if I can account for everything I put in my mouth. Tomorrow is a new day though so here's hoping to self control!
I guess that is good for now. Hopefully I can blog at least once a week and hopefully the blogs get more interesting! XOXO
