thinogenic

So today  I started a new diet pill called "Thinogenics." I have alot of friends who have done well on it. You have to drink LOTS and LOTS of water though which isnt really a problem for me. I have a goal to lose about 12lbs. Wish me luck!!

Starting weight (dare i say it...eek.) : 127.
Goal weight: anywhere from 110-115

Ill be posting to let everyone know how it is going :)

my life

So this is my first blog entry..yay! :) 

I'll just use this entry to tell you a little bit about myself.

My name is Danielle and I am a 23 year old girl from Mississippi. I got pregnant with my first child at the age of 19, and had her right after I turned 20. Obviously, this was not a planned situation but i wouldnt trade it for a thing because little did i know--- we NEEDED her in this point in our lives... Both my husbands and my families went through some hardships shortly after Rayne was born.. whether it be a death in the family, a tragic accident, or a divorce, we would have never made it without our little ray of sunshine. Sometimes God knows what we need exactly when we need it. I have known Jay, my husband for about 12 years. I was BFFs with his sister (who i still consider one of my besties :)) Bonna. We've definitely been through a lot together! It wasnt until Bonna was married at 18 and moved to Japan with her husband in the airforce until Jay and I became really good friends. I guess when Bonna left, it brought us closer, because there was an emptyness of her being gone and it actually gave us something to talk about. We fell in love very quickly and he became my best friend. Hes still my best friend and I dont know what I would do without him. We got married November 12 of 2011. And Bonna and I became real sisters :)

My entire life I have had two career dreams: to be a nurse and a photographer. Right after Rayne was born I was accepted into the LPN program (practical nursing) and this was a HUGE blessing. Now, dont think it wasnt hard because it isnt the"RN" program. I studied all night and all day for 12 months straight while raising a newborn baby. Now I am blessed with an ah-mazing job in General Surgery. I do have hopes of going back to school to be and RN someday  but right now i am content with my job. I bought myself a camera about a year ago called a Canon Rebel T2i. I love to take pictures and I hope someday I will be good enough at it to maybe do some photography on the side... we will see :)

One of the things I constantly stuggle with is my weight. Mainly just baby weight but i have gained a little extra... after all it has been 3 years. I find a low carb diet works well for me. I struggle with this though because i LOVE carbs! I mean come on, who doesnt love a good pizza/pasta/potato/bread meal?? So i hope I can find some good low carb recipes to share with you on here :)
I am a member of a gym and I have slacked on going. The gym is about 25 min away from my home so sometimes it is hard to go. I also got into Zumba at one point in time and this was about 15 min from my home and I did it with my friend Celeste. It was so fun, I am not really sure why i quit going...  

We love some OLE MISS FOOTBALL!!!! Go Rebels :) Thank you for reading my blog, im going to try to write everyday about something...it may be a recipe, ideas for toddlers, pictures, or scriptures. Id love to hear recipes and things from you as well. :)
