FEBRUARY

I love February for several reasons:

1. Shout out to ALL my friends with February birthdays!

Eddie, Amy, Kate G & ME!

2. Valentines Day- We don't do anything special for the day. This year I have to work late so I'm not sure what's in store. But I always make my heart cookies.

3. I love snow- this year we have had maybe 2 days of snow. It's only been a dusting and it hasn't lasted long :( I know most people hate it but I get so happy when I see it snowing. This year I am going to go tubing at the local ski lodge (I even bought snow pants).

4. My Birthday- I have always loved my birthday. It's not about gifts for me it's about I know that day my family always gets together. My parents have always made my birthday a special day. I remember ALL the great birthday parties my mom put on for me. My dad never made me go to school and he was always home so we could spend the day together. I'm sad for people who don't celebrate birthdays.

I take that day and I remember past birthdays and cherish that I have a family that loves me.  



Here it is!!!!

(I ended up emailing it to my work and saving it to my computer and attaching it)

With my IPad I have a great APP that lets you edit pictures!

I have used 2 of the products so far:

Juicy Couture- like it, worn it several times

Zoya nail polish- love it!! it's a light purple (nothing I would ever pick out). I love it for several reasons: I didn't use a top coat and it shiny (day 3 still shiny), I only did 1 coat (thick and only needed 1 coat) & the color

I haven't tried anything else yet.....

I have noticed I only use a couple things out of each box.

Starting this month I will try everything before the next box comes.

If you would like birchbox go and check it out!!!!

January Bichbox

Is coming.............
I have a great picture but I can't get it uploaded!!!!!!
I took it with my I-Pad and did some editing but I can't figure how to link it???
It's a love/hate relationship with technology for me....
As soon as I can get upload it I will share.

WI (1st of NewYear)

I decided over the holidays I would not let my weight be ALL I thought about. I put my scale away and enjoyed the holidays.....I ate great food and enjoyed the company of friends and family. I had days I stayed on tracked and days I didn't. I pulled out my scale this morning and was surprised at the numbers looking back at me...... +1 it is a gain but not a huge gain. I am pleased. This week I am back on track and it feels so good. I love the feeling of not being stuffed, bloated and weighed down by food. Drinking my water taking care of my body. Filling my body with fruits, vegetables & whole grains, instead of sugar, fatty & heavy foods. Don't get me wrong I let myself ave a treat when I crave it. It feels great to be on track!

2012

It's the first full week of the year. Last year I made 3 resolutions and I completed 2. 1. No coffee 2. No drinking 3. No soda. I made it on all 3 until June... Soda got the best of me. I was doing grat until I had surgery and the gas bubbles caused most of the pain and I was told to try ginger ale. It worked but I continued. Let me say that I never did any of the three on a regular schedule. To give you an idea maybe 1/2cup coffee 3 days a week, soda once a week and drinking less. I wanted to see if I could do it. On New Years Eve I waited until 12:01 to take my 1st drink in 365 days.... It didn't take much. I had 1 shot, glass of Verdi, 1 mixed drink and I was done. The next morning I woke up and remembered how it's feels to have a couple and why it felt so good for 365 days not to drink. Next was coffee....not so great. I'm sure it was due to being flavored coffee (French vanilla) it was way too sweet! The next morning I went back to decaf tea. Everyone keeps asking me what will it be for 2012. I thought I would have decided by now but I havent???? What I do know is I can do anything I set my mind to. I believe that this has shown me my strength that I didn't know I had. 2012 is going to be a exciting year. I can't wait to take it head on. It amazes me what you can learn from something that you quickly decided on a whim to see if you could.

DONE

DONE!

My list is complete!

Only thing to do is enjoy the Holiday.

I am so excited that I have only 2 more days left of work!!

For the 1st time ever I have off from 12/24-1/2!!!

I wish everyone one a Happy Holiday!!

Love, Wendy
