Just a couple quickies.

               So a couple weeks ago Cricut Crafts launched their new machine the Cricut Explore and I decided it was just something I could not live without, so I bought it. Have to say after a few

minor set backs because of my internet speed I ABSOLUTELY love it!

It is so much quieter then my Cricut Expression. I love that it is all computer based as I can design right on my laptop and then just hook it up and cut. I have cut a couple different vinyl projects already.

First are some clings I cut to put on the back of our car. It only seemed fitting to make them Mickey and Minnie since H is obsessed with Minnie and we just recently took a 3 day family vacation to Disney for her birthday.

The next project I did I actually found on pinterest. The jars say pounds to lose and pounds lost. You put pretty little stones in them and move them from one jar to another. I think that it will just be a cute helpful reminder for me as I try to reach my goal of losing 70lbs. 

Happy Crafting everyone!

One week down!

One week down and I have lost 2lbs. My eating has been the hard part as I am really enjoying going out and walking each night with the girls. Yesterday we had a girls day out and at Target stopped to get some Starbucks. I actually surprised myself when I resisted getting my usual iced white chocolate mocha and instead got a Venti passion tea.

 I love that if you get this tea with nothing added it is 100% clean! It has no sugar, calories, or caffeine. It also tastes delicious all by its self so who needs the extra calories with fruit syrup or sugary lemonade? Not this Girl! H decided though that she really just had to have a cake pop! And I will admit I was a little sad Mommy couldn't eat one too! This time mommy is dedicated to losing the weight and completing her goal! Have to set those good examples for H & M.

We spent the rest of the day looking at furniture we will probably never own. The two stores we stopped in had some decent stuff but I know as soon as I get it home and the girls scuff it up I will immediately hate myself for spending so much money on it. I really can't wait till we are back in the states permanently so we can find thrift treasures and refinish them. H on the other hand promises if daddy buys her this she will keep it nice. 

Must say its super cute and would look adorable in her room. She can grow into it right? 

Start to a healthier me

Today is officially the first day of my weight loss journey. Starting it off by doing a diet bet that one of my favorite bloggers SkinnyMeg setup. The goal is to lose 4 percent in 4 weeks. You pay $25.00 and at the end everyone who meets the goal splits the pot!

  

Here I am all ready to weigh in! The scale read at 222.2! UGH!  

I must say I really need to get some more workout clothes.I have found a seller on etsy that has some Adorable clothes like the shirt below.  I NEED this and a few others from her shop. 

So far my plan is to follow the one one one diet by Rania Batayneh. It is definitely a change I feel I can do for the rest of my life and feel confident while doing. I havealso found that the Dole Shakers fruit smoothies are lifesavers when it comes to snack time. Along with the changes to my diet I started walking at night with a good friend and the girls. H loves riding along in the stroller and exploring. 

M just seems to fall asleep which gives me a nice break.

All in all im just trying ease myself back into the groove of it all. My goal is to get down to 150lbs before M turns one.

Welcome

Welcome to the home of Our Life Complete. I'm Tiffany! A proud Airforce wife, mother of two amazing little girls, and a quitter of many things. Im starting this blog in an attempt to follow through with whatever I start. With the beginning of 2014 I have decided to focus on my weight, my home, and traveling. We currently live in Germany and I want to take advantage of all I can while here. H & M, my two little divas are along for the ride which will make it crazy at times but overall wonderful! Luckily, I also have my hot hubby to help out, encourage me and pick me up when I fall down. I hope that I can inspire others while pursing my many endeavors, and bring a smile to your face when needed.
