The WATER CHALLENGE to kick all other water challenge butts!
 lol.... Seriously though... while the MAIN reason for the past weekend and yesterday - being Memorial Day - the main reason is to Honor the Men and Women who have sacrificed their lives for our country.. while we do Honor them in mind and heart...
.... (Thank you to them all) ....
...

Let's be honest .... some also Honor this 3-day weekend with our bodies. The picnics and BBQ's..the get-togethers and the "just stopping by to say Hi's" as you reach your hand out to greet a friend and their mom puts a loaded plate in your hand and says "Eat up...it's good for you" , lol
While all this is going on , the food, the drinks, the desserts, the snacks, the chips, the dips, ... the bloating, the heartburn, the agita.

STOP THE MADNESS!!
It's time to get off this crazy rollercoaster and refresh your body... :):)

The weekend is over... MAY is over... Let's welcome June into the picture, by cleansing all the junk we gut-loaded our bodies with ... "How?" you say? ...

Simple.. Take the Water Challenge...
* It's Free to participate ...
(aside from the $1 jug of water you buy-and refill at home)
* It's pure.. no toxins or additives
* The benefits of drinking water are NUMEROUS - just pick the one that speaks to you
*By taking the Gallon Water Challenge- there are NO cups to count or measure- just your jug.
 How much simpler can that be?
*You can make it fun by marking YOUR own goals on the container! .. Make it INTERESTING!
Challenge others to do it with you  - friends, families, co-workers:
You know they ALL were eating a little extra over the weekend, lol - you can hear them with the "Ugh's" as they get out of their chair to walk to the copier...or to grab the remote control, hahaha

Do something GOOD for yourself, Take the Water Challenge!

 I'm doing it.......

 

Private Message me if you will be as well..  I would love to chat with you!
And to see just how many are willing to do something great for themselves!!
Feel free to Post your pics to the page found on my Facebook page : ChellesKarma:
- how it is going..
-how you are feeling...
-what YOUR jug looks like...
-and tag who you invited!

Come on everybody! Let's make this a HUGE Challenge- with everyone participating... and Kick the other Water Challenge Butts!!

June 1st ... Drink 1 Gallon of water
June 2nd ...Drink 1 Gallon of water
June 3rd ... Drink 1 Gallon of water

Aaaaannnnd....... It's official......

Today marks the official countdown to our son's return home! :)
 
Today (as mentioned in earlier posts) - he has begun his journey on the next phase of his military career.
He is currently en route to the Hawaiian base- that he will call home for the next 2 years..





                   

Words cannot justify how proud, excited, deliriously happy I am for him ..
ok - well maybe words can accurately describe it, haha, if I could just pick one... or two.. or a handful!
 
I am just so excited- I cannot wait to see the experiences he will encounter [outside from his work duty, of course].. to be this young and be able to enjoy such a phenomenal piece of beauty - the beaches, the mountains, the culture.. it is simply incredible, and I am beyond blessed to know that he is able to be a part of all of it :)

 Please share with us in Wishing him Safe Travels, and a GREAT Experience !!

***************************************************

As we start off to a  beautiful three day weekend [ aside from the possible Hurricane coming, lol]..
Remember that Memorial Day is to honor the Military personnel who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.. Please take a moment to Honor them. Think of the Sacrifice they have made... that their families have made- in order for you to be able to enjoy your weekend .. and every day after that....
Please enjoy the weekend, but be safe, and be Honored to live among those who were lucky enough to have loved those who served... and fallen.

                                            

Sunday .....

                 A day of .........

Sleeping in... Watching FoodNetwork .... Watching the beautiful rays of Florida sunshine slowly start to creep in through the window blinds....

A Day of Peace...because you should have gotten all the laundry, cleaning, vacuuming, and dishes done the day before... and all that's left ... is to relax on the couch.... right?

Err... that would be a BIG, FAT WRONG!  hahaha

Sunday.... More commonly known as "Getting Ready For The Week Day"...

Laundry is ready... Check.
Dog is washed .... Check.
House is cleaned... Check...

And now- time to do ......YOU!

Have you planned out time in your week to include YOURSELF?
Life is too busy nowadays- we tend to get lost in the hustle and bustle of rushing the kids to work.. driving them to school... being stuck in traffic as we race to get to work on time.. only to rush through the day - meeting deadlines, finishing projects... again racing home to make dinner ... and
do it all again the next day...

Where did we lose time for OURSELVES in the mix?
What would we be teaching our children if that is ALL we do?
RUSH...RUSH..RUSH... and not enjoy any of it?
Seriously?

So ..... in your prepping for the week... be sure to include YOU in the mix.

Pre-plan YOUR meals.... so you are not stuck rushing to a fast food drive thru to cram down something you KNOW your body does not need.. and that you do not want- but because it's quick, you often find yourself there  .. waiting for that combo meal.

Plan time for YOURSELF... Get Out and Get Moving .. either start walking at lunch or during your breaks.... plan time after dinner to take a bike ride with the kids... go to the park and toss a ball..
Just DO something for YOU .. and in turn  .. you will be doing for others...

You can't be the best version of YOU if you are constantly run-down, over-tired, over-worked.. and basically overwhelmed...

Take time now- to Make time for YOURSELF -
The choice is ALWAYS that .. a CHOICE..
Do you CHOOSE to continue to be tired, out of shape, out of time,
OR.... will YOU CHOOSE YOU?

Make the Choice .....  Choose YOU .. Be Happy.. Be Healthy .. Be Active .. Be Fit

The past week has been .... like that Christmas in the Air feeling.. that inside excitement you have ... when you are so excited and just want to share that feeling with everyone you know :)

I have recently decided to follow my heart and go where it leads me... this is never an easy step to do.. especially as a mom. A wife. A full time employee. You are always pulled in so many directions- that by the time you take a moment to sit and decide what do YOU want... what is it that YOU really want to do in life? What will bring YOU the same happiness and fulfillment you try to bring to everyone else throughout each day? ...... You are usually too busy to come up with an answer.

Thought on this... for a good bit of time. Our son is grown- and on his own journey in life. I have started a new position with the State earlier this year- and it's going well. So what is it .. why do I feel like I am missing that "something" that will make me feel accomplished? Make me feel happy? Challenge me :  mentally... physically.... socially...

And finally I decided -.....
YES! I am definitely going to do this.
For ME.

And when I made that decision.... my heart was happy- like that "Giddy-Kid" feeling you had when you knew you were going somewhere awesome! And I am... I am embarking on an amazing journey -  full of Fitness, Health, Happiness, Helping Others, .... all the things I enjoy doing everyday.

I am pleased to say I am now officially a member of TeamBeachBody ! 

You know you've seen the infomercials on television... Promoting those AMAZING workout programs, the detailed nutrition plans...The INCREDIBLE results!  You know the ones I'm talking about :) .

I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful Fitness-Inspired Family! And I would like to share the opportunity with you - If you would like information on what this opportunity has to offer -
 Please feel free to contact me- I will be happy to share any information with you regarding TeamBeachBody .


Oh I am so excited!!! .... Can't wait to begin!

Aaaaaaaannndddd my visit is over 😔


Had a wonderful surprise over the weekend.... last visit before our son leaves for Hawaii...
I won't get to see him again, til he returns in 2 years... so you know how much it meant to me to be able to see him, and hug him before he leaves 😊😊💖💖


I am sooo thrilled for him, and hope he gets to enjoy everything available to him that this opportunity may bring. I cannot imagine being his age and being able to experience this....

The Volcanoes, The Beaches, The Islands...The Culture...The Food.... THE FISH!!
 Oh the beautiful FISH he will see in the ocean!!!
... (yes..my heart just skipped a beat, lol... remember... #saltwaterreefer here, lol)

YES... I know he will be working , lol ... but when he is not... what an AMAZING opportunity!

As mentioned , I am already planning "MCP's" , lol... Mom Care Packages...
To bring a bit of home to him while he is gone...

Loved seeing both my kid and his beautiful girlfriend while home... I wish both of them strength, endurance and success as they embark on their individual journeys relating to their jobs... while still maintaining a beautiful connection to each other.. they truly are such an adorable couple.
(yes, I am biased..... who wouldn't be? lol)

Such a bittersweet feeling churning inside me, lol-
I am SO EXCITED , THRILLED, PROUD , SUPPORTIVE , Heck... GIDDY for him, lol!!
But... on the flip side.. it is my kid.. the only-est one I have, lol... so ya know I got the Mom thing going inside too, hahaha...

Putting that feeling on the backburner though so I can be as happy for him as I can -
I cannot WAIT to see photos of his journey...

 

I am feeling BEYOND BLESSED right now!!!

To Begin........ my campaign has reached the 1/2 way mark!!

I am so thrilled to be able to see the goal line on the horizon...I will be able to get it scheduled sooner than I ever could have imagined... PLEASE continue to SHARE my link - as I am still needing additional donations to reach my goal for the procedure.

PLEASE CLICK THE DONATE ICON ON THE LEFT OF MY BLOG


Thank you to all who have been sharing thus far :) - your help is appreciated :)

Now....... For the MIXED EMOTIONAL part of this post, lol.



I am SO THRILLED, EXCITED, SAD, PROUD, BLESSED ....
and did I mention EXCITED??
 lol- (Drumroll please........)

Our son came home for a brief 24 hour visit with his adorably, beautiful girlfriend... to share with us the good news...in person. He has received new orders and is now being stationed overseas...for the next 2 1/2 years......

(wait for it.............)

In Hawaii !!!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED for this opportunity for him!!

You cannot possibly imagine the amount of PRIDE and HONOR I hold in my heart for my kid, and to know he has such an amazing experience coming to him...I am so happy for him.

So...... as a M.O.M. (a.k.a. Mother Of a Marine) , you know I have already begun planning care packages in my head, lol- I cannot let him be THAT far away without having a piece of HOME visit him and bring a smile to his face. - I will be at that Post Office more than the workers themselves I am sure, hahahaha.

Please share in my joy and wish him well on his New Journey.....

Odd.... but relaxing.....

It's funny how things you haven't done in awhile find their way back into your life.
A friend recently got me back into crocheting....

Aaaannnd.... I have found myself migrating back to my yarn basket- to keep my mind off this throbbing situation with my broken tooth. It's odd that something so silly and insignificant as yarn can calm your thoughts when you need it most, lol. It is helping - not with the ever throb, throb, throb, that is visiting me throughout the day..

But it is helping to keep my mind clear of freaking out at the moment, lol.


I am currently in the midst of two blankets- (will post photos when complete- as they are going to be gifts for friends) .. can't do a photo-op just yet :) , lol



I am posting an UPDATE to my GOAL CAMPAIGN.
I am actively sharing with as many as possible- and keeping hopeful that this goal is attainable before anything else happens to the tooth... I am still babying it. But really need to get the procedure done immediately if possible.

Please share with family, friends and followers.... Thank you in advance - you are appreciated :)

CAMPAIGN UPDATE : Please visit and help me reach my goal: https://www.gofundme.com/bkxh5us4

Sometimes.... Moms Need Help, Too

This is a plea to all my blogging family out there...

The crafty bloggers, the foodies, the moms who do it all., the gentlemen who fix it all... and to all those who are flipping the script and making their mark on the world...each and every one of you.

While I have not been actively posting - due to personal life reasons/situations- I have been lurking on your sites, reading your posts, enjoying your stories and recipes, - as I get all the updates tagged into my inbox :)  ...so while I may not be present in print... I am always here in heart :)

I have a confession to make...
I ...am...a....MOM... and ..
I ... need ... HELP.

I have recently started a campaign to try to raise funds for a surgery that I am needing- desperately needing.. and I am not able to get it accomplished by myself.
I need help.

As mentioned in my campaign... I had broken a tooth... I made an appointment to have it checked/fixed...and was babying the tooth until the appointment came up. But the weekend prior to the appointment- I chipped it more-  causing more damage.

I went to the appointment, in hopes that I could get this tooth fixed and go back to work and be on about my day.. you know us Moms, (and Dads, too :) ) - we juggle everything while keeping ourselves on the backburner . I was really hoping to just get in, get done, get on with my day...

Fast Forward to the end of the exam, after the x-rays, where I mentioned I was given the bad news / treatment plan. I am needing crown and bridgework. There is no saving this tooth with a mere filling the way it has broke. There would not be enough tooth to hold a filling. (and it is an eye tooth- not an option of pulling it) .. between this tooth, and what the dentist found of the surrounding teeth during the exam/x-rays - the crown and bridgework is the best option- least expensive of the two treatment options.

As mentioned also in my campaign- I do have insurance, which will take a chunk out of this costly surgery - however- the patient portion is very costly and I do not have the funds to move forward in scheduling this procedure.

I am seeking assistance from any and all who are in the position to help out- what may seem like something small and insignificant of a donation to you- I assure you I will be appreciative of every cent put towards this goal.  I am terrified that something worse will happen to the tooth before I can get this resolved.

Please.. I do ask that you share my campaign link with any and all of your followers and encourage them to do the same- I need to get this out and in front of as many as possible to reach my goal - this is my link:

https://www.gofundme.com/bkxh5us4

I thank you for taking the time to read this- and I thank you for sharing with your friends, family, readers... this is truly important and is an emergent situation.
