What I Love – Sesame Street Style

All around the blog world, people have been putting up things they love from A-Z.  Most recently I saw it on Hungry Meets Healthy (love her blog!)  Well, anytime there is a game to play, I’m in!

This reminds me of Sesame Street.  When I was little, I would watch it all the time.  What do I remember most about Sesame Street?  The letter of the day of course (well, and The Count-He was my fav!).

So, here are all the things I love from A-Z.

A- Avery.  aka The Midge.  She is such a great kid who is so freakin’ adorable!

Avery eating ice cream at The Braves Game Isn’t she the cutest?

B- Bananas.  I have a new found love for them frozen and in protein shakes.

C- Chocolate.

D-Dunkin’ Donuts.  Extra large with three sweet-n-lows and extra cream.  Makes the day start perfectly!

Jen and Dunkin' Donuts Car LOVE this car!

E- Eastvalley.  I loved it when I was little and I love it even more now.  What an amazing place to be.

F- Family.  From the Elys to the Swaffords to the Holmes.  I love them all!

G- Greek Yogurt.  Chobani Pineapple is my all time fav.  I just wish it wasn’t so high in Points Plus!

H- Haleigh, Hannah, and Hampton.  My sister’s children.  OMG-I love them!

Jen and the kids in Destin Love these three kiddos!

I- It Sux To Be Fat.  And you.  Without this blog or your support, I don’t know where I would be.

J- Jesus and Jason.  They are both constants in my life.  No matter what is going on, they are there.  I am so thankful.

Jen and Jason in Destin, FL I love this man!

K- Kids.  Thank God considering I am a teacher.  Although, there are some teachers out there that don’t like kids.  Luckily, I don’t know any!

L- Laundry.  Every weekend.  I love doing laundry.  Yes, I am weird.  There is just something about having an empty laundry bin and clean clothes hung up.

M- Maggie, my Shih-tzu.  She is our doghter (dog+daughter=doghter).  Yes, we are freaks about our dog!

N- Newborns.

O- Opponents.  I am VERY competitive.  I love a good challenge and trying to beat other people.

P- Polar ft60.  My workouts wouldn’t be the same without my Polar.

Jens run time on her Polar ft60 Love my Polar!

Q- Quotes.  I love a good quote.  My favorite quote ever is, “Don’t give up what you want most for what you want in the moment!”

R- Races.  There is just something about a race that pumps me up.  The thrill of all the people, the excitement of everyone being there and then the finish line always rocks!

jen and amy publix georgia half marathon Love Races!

S- Scheduling.  I am a BIG planner.  I need things scheduled and planned in order for me to function properly.  It is a weakness and a strength all rolled up in one.  Google Calendar keeps my hubby and I straight!

T- Teaching and Tutoring.  I love seeing children be successful in something they don’t think they are good at.  I love that three of my Math tutoring students got awards at the end of last year for “Most Improved Math.”  It shows I’m good at what I do.

U- Umbrellas.  I have naturally curly hair.  I straighten it every day.  Sometimes, it rains.  You figure it out!

V- Victorious.  I like to win.

W- Weight Watchers.  Where would I be without this program?  It has changed my life!

Jen, Jacynta, and Kyle the night Jen lost 100 pounds! Jacynta and Kyle…two of Weight Watchers finest!

X- pibb X-tra Zero.  Yes, I cheated a bit on this one but this is my all time favorite drink.

Y- yurbuds.

Jen wearing Yurbuds Ironman Inspire Pros LOVE these!

Z- Zip-lining.  I spent a summer at a Young Life camp in Colorado and did zip-lines.  It was a great summer.

There you have it.  My loves from A – Z.  Now, it’s your turn.  Tell me 5 things  you love and it can be from any letter of the alphabet.  If you are a blogger, do a post and link to your post in the comments!  Play along!

Avatar of Jennifer Swafford

My name is Jennifer, I’m 35 and I currently live in a suburb outside of Atlanta. I live with my husband, Jason and Shi-tzu, Maggie. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
My full time job is teaching elementary school. My part time job is private tutoring after school for grades K-6. I have been on my weight loss journey my entire life but just began to take it seriously two years ago when I decided it was time to start a family. I didn’t want to be one of those people who others look and and say, “Is she pregnant or just really fat?” At the rate I was going, that question would certainly be asked. So, two years ago I joined Weight Watchers. Now, closing in on losing 100 pounds, my life is healthier and I am happier. Now…bring on the baby!
My blog is here for you to be inspired, learn something new, and hear all about all new products I try. Join me on this weight loss journey as I go through ups and downs, good and bad, and continue to take it one day at a time!
