WI #5

WI # 5

how the time flies....

This week as every week bring different challenges

but I did track my food 75%, drank ALL my water

and

lost 1 pound

total loss 9 pounds.

1 lbs away from my first goal of 10 pounds.

5 weeks ago I started this journey to eat healthier than I was and it is working.

I love that I am down 9 pounds.

I am starting to think about what my next goal is....

Weekend update

Good weekend.

 Friday: (out of work @ 2:30) ran some errands, went to Christmas Party

Saturday: up bright and early- went to Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Michael's and home by 2 pm!!!

I did take a nice long nap once I got home

Sunday: made breakfast, lazy day until I started to rearrange my dining room and started & finished decorations for Christmas!  We go and get the tree on Wednesday. The tree always takes me the longest. I like to make sure all the lights are just right and ribbon lays just so. 

I also did ALL my Christmas cards. I found mine at Hobby Lobby this year and they are very different then what I normally would do. Most year I make my own but I saw these and loved them (will post a picture), took inventory of gifts I have purchased

wrapped up the day day by making dinner and doing dishes and one final vacuum.

This week plans:

Monday-grocery store

Tuesday- WI #5, work late, get home and enjoy some time before my husband gets home (love him to death but some times a girl just needs to time to do girly things)

Wednesday- TREE time. We get a fresh cut every year and I don't think I could ever do a fake ( I may have a couple fake purses but don't think I can do it for my tree). Put lights and ornaments.

Thursday- out to eat with some great friends. Finish up tree (ribbon and star)

Friday- out of work @ 2 !!! Take pictures of decorations and post them.

Are you ready for Christmas??



WW WI week 4

Hard to believe it's my 4th WI

Big week. Thanksgiving week was rough. I did great at my house on Thanksgiving day but Saturday for 2nd Thanksgiving was not as successful :(.

I ate what I wanted, enjoyed every bite, I wasn't stuffed but ate more snack/treats then I planned.

I know that if I wasn't on WW I would have thrown in the towel and told myself I would start over on Monday instead I took control and stayed on track the next meal :)

I also slacked on tracking this week as well.

I am proud that I didn't go crazy and that I enjoyed the Holiday

WI #4 -1 LBS

total loss 8 LBS

Christmas is coming.....

I've been thinking a couple gift ideas for Christmas. I always find it hard to tell anyone what I would like. I would rather not get anything but I guess my Husband doens't agree.

Here are a couple things I would like:

1. Food processor- I have a mini 2 cup food processor now which works great for quick and easy things. I would be able to do so much more with a larger one.

 I-Pod speakers- I love having some kind of back ground noise in the house when I'm a lone. This weekend I used my ear buds but then I couldn't here when my husband came in the house and nearly had a heart attack. So this would be a life saving gift.

UGGS- I have 2 pair already. I own the tall Ugg I think I would like the minis for a slip on as well.

Rylans- How cute! I have a pair that are similar but these look like they would be easier to slip on.. 

Now for my dream wish list:

Urban Decay Naked palette- I love the colors!!! I hear UD is the best in make-up. It goes on nice and stays all day. But I don't know if I can spend $48 on eye shadow????

I-Pad- How I would love this. We currently use a 5 year old lap top which does a good job but this is so fast and handy.

What's on your list?????



What a week....

WOW it's was a great week...

I had off on Wednesday!!! I got all my baking and prep work done for Thursday.

Thursday was great. Watching the Macy's parade, dog show and flipping through ads (not that i go shopping but it gives you good ideas). All the food was timed perfect.  Family and friends shared stories and enjoyed each other company.

Friday I worked :(

Saturday I baked a little more and then we headed for Thanksgiving 2.0

Great times, friends and food again.....

We stayed out til 1 am

Sunday- PJ day!!!!!! Did some online shopping and enjoyed the weather it's been in the 60's...

we have a couple more days of this great weather.

This week I plan to start decorating the house. I can't wait...

WI #3

Weigh in # 3

This week was different than my last 2 weeks

The weekends are my weakness

I eat when I get board. The last couple months have been so busy & I have been watching how much I eat and why I'm eating but this weekend was different....

My husband was gone from 6 am-8 pm on Saturday and 6 am-6 pm on Sunday 

so I was alone

I had a great plan. I got up ate a healthy filling breakfast and was out the door to  run ALL my errands. I was tried when I got home. I ate a great lunch and started to set-up for Thanksgiving to make sure I have everything made a great dinner & did my usual cleaning

Sunday was a different story I felt hungry ALL day long. I new I had a house warming Sunday afternoon so I was trying to save my points knowing that most of the food was not going to be low/medium points. I did eat 8 points before the party and did eat well at the party. I did have a couple wings, cookies but loaded up on veggies.

I have learned on WW that the points they assign you are the right amount of points. You will loose if you eat the point given to you.

This week I ate ALL my points and lost

2 LBS!!!

Total loss 7 LBS

Plan for this week:

Eat healthy everyday and make sure I eat things I don't eat everyday (pecan bars, stuffing) in moderation.

I will do great!!!

Thanksgiving week

I love every holiday

Thanksgiving holds a special place in my heart

Everyone gathers at my house and we have a good meal, drinks and spending time together

the girls come over early and talk, make food and enjoy each other company. Once the boys arrive from the busy day of hunting we all gather to share a great meal.

Thanksgiving is a great time to stop and remember what is important.

My thoughts are with everyone that had a loss this year for any reason. I also feel that this has been a wonderful year for so many and I think of them.

Thanksgiving week:

Monday- don't forget to take your turkey out

Tuesday-

Wednesday- bake breads, pecan bars, apple sauce, clean house

Thursday- prepare all foods:

Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet pototoes, stuffing, green beans, corn,

(I'm sure I am leaving something out...)

Enjoy your families!!
