New Challenge!

Hey Everyone...

Just wanted to give an update on what's been going on. Now that the holiday's are over (thank goodness) we can look forward to a new year. I need this year to run smoothly and even though it has started with a few obstacle's I think we can overcome them. I don't need to mention them but it's something I need to deal with and will.

In the mean time the boys got completely spoiled for Christmas and had a blast. They had Marine the Elf visit them each night throughout the month of December and it was fun seeing their reactions. I think we are going to keep this up. I also might be adding another elf next year too. The reason for this is due to the fact that I had to finally find a way to get rid of Colt's sippy cup. He was so attached to it and wouldn't drink out of anything else. He went to my parents for the weekend while Jeff and I went to Oakland (I will blog about that soon) and when he got home I told him Marine took it to feed a baby elf. I want to incorporate that somehow into Colt seeing that his cup helped this elf grow. So that should be interesting.

My health is on the up and hopefully my doctor's appointment on Friday is a positive one. I was on a series of hormones and birth control after my surgery for two months and when I stopped my pills I was supposed to have a period. I never did and frankly I was devastated thinking the surgery didn't work at all. Now flash forward a month and I finally got a period!!! A normal one I haven't had since November 2012. I called and they want to see me - so we will see how my uterus looks on Friday. I doubt I will ever have kids again but hey - if my uterus is rid of the scarring I will just be happy with that! I will keep you guys updated on that as well.

Because of all the medical stuff I had to go through last year I have decided to sign up for a new challenge in my life. I have joined bodybuilding.com's transformation challenge that will take me through the next 3 months. I needed something to help push me into dropping the weight I have gained (because of the hormones) and I signed up and it starts today. I started a program two weeks ago but the contest starts today. The reason I tell you this is because I have started another blog to track my journey. I figured if I put myself out there then I will stay motivated and it will push me to actually stay on track. Those who would like to follow my fitness/healthy journey can go to www.transformingsnortney2013.blogpsot.com. You don't have to follow if it you don't want to but hey I am throwing it out there. I also will be posting weekly and will try to throw in a few extra blogs here and there during the week when I am not so busy. I am also posting on Instagram (snortney2013) if you want to follow there as well. If I could have a second account on Instagram to post my transformation I would set that up but I haven't figured that out quite yet! haha

But I do have a few things to blog about so stay tuned. Between the boys - school - working out and Jeff's schedule and the holiday's - life has been busy!!!

Hope everyone has a great new year and I'm excited to see what 2014 brings!
