Tuppaware queen..... Or so my husbands co workers have name me..

I'm on a health kick... I have a goal in mind that im not ready to quite put in stone yet.  My body fat is higher than it should be, approximately 20%.  Im 5'1 and about 120 lbs.  Ideal would be 14% body fat, and 110-112 lbs.  HOWEVER, I have been trying to reach this goal for about 6 months and I continue to yoyo on my diet.  I tend to eat very clean for a week or so, then I can't resist a starbucks, or a cheeseburger, or the number one fail all for any diet, ALCOHOL.  My husband and I are social butterflys, we have a huge range of friends who we love to hang out with and throw a few back(or 10....ok 20 but whatever you get it!)
Plus I have two children, and I have been working my ass off to get to where Im at now physicaly and mentally (When I was prego with my son, my beginning weight was 103, when I delivered I wighed 164) yes I know, HOLY SHIT was my response to... with my first born I only gained 14 glorious beautiful pounds and after I delevered her, those lbs miraculously went to my ass and boobs where they belong and heaven only knows where my boobs went after I had my son...so whatever here goes nothing!
This is my week, my mind is set! CLEAN healthy eats.  I am prepping my food for the week for both my husband and myself, packaged in tupaware (thus my new name) that way theres no excuse....

Evangeline the Princess....or so she thinks...

My daughter turned 5 on the tenth, yes 5!  Where has the time gone?  So cliche, I know.  But I swear the older she gets, the faster time goes.  When I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, she insisted, in true Eva the diva fashion, that she would have a princess party.  Uh, ok!

My husband swears the party was more for me then her, whatever dude, any excuse to decorate the shit out of my house works for me, and with pink and sparkles?? Heck yes! 
Here are some pics, get ready  for overload.
