Tomato, Tohmahto?

Obviously that's not how you spell Tomato but I was referring to the song with that particular line. Growing up with a mother who calls a washing machine a warshing machine I don't usually think i'm prounouncing things wrong but i got put in my place the other day by another teacher. I asked her children to bring their crayons (me pronouncing them crowns) to music class and she laughed and told me it was Crayolas. I never thought I was saying the world incorrectly and to be honest with you I like my version much better but have been pronouncing them crayons ever since which just sounds silly to me! I wonder what else I say that's weird.....makes you really listen to yourself speak. I knew I'd really like Matt when he pronounced always, aways like I do......funny quirk.

In other news, I went to the gym yesterday and ran my booty patooty off! It felt incredible and I can't wait to do it again. I'm honestly going to look in to seeing how much the personal trainers are just to lean down, no bulking up here. But I guess we will see. I walked a 17 minute mile which is slow I know but it was on a 5.0 incline! lets just say no one wanted to be on the treadmill next to me because of my sweat puddles but I don't care! It feels good knowing you're doing something about a situtation you've put yourself in. As much criticism I've taken from family about my current weight I can now proudly say, I'm working on it ;) Just knowing my heart is thanking me for it is enough for me! I even wore pants to work today and am feeling good. Can't wait to see those numbers drop! I thought yesterday, this is my body, why wouldn't i want to take care of it? It's amazing to me how you can just go on auto pilot and not think about certain consequences!

Tomorrow is Friday and I couldn't be more excited about it! Two weeks of freedom from children will be glorious, and Campbell doesn't count because I could be with him all day every day and be ok with it! We went walking on monday which was incredibly difficult with Taylor pulling and sophie being dragged and pushing campers, I now understand why my sister is so incredibly tiny because it's a great work out! My shins hurt the next day! But it was funny because I decided to jog a little just to see if I could and Campbell laughed and giggled and kept saying GO!! It was fun!

Have a great Thursday!

You can do it!

My weight loss has started off to a rocky start I'll be the first admit, I don't need anyone pointing that out to me. But it's starting slowing and surely I promise I'm doing what I need to do. I have 2 friends who call, text, or email me everyday asking me how I'm doing. While my family is wonderful I needed to call in re-enforcemetns.


So I called 2 of my best friends last week and we talked over a plan of action or POA for those who only like to read abbreviated words ;) They too have struggled with weight in their adult years and were all ready but have tried and failed many times so were hoping this time it will be it! I'm not looking to be a size 2 I'm just ready to fit in to regular clothes again and to feel good about myself. I know this will all come once the pounds shed away but anyone who's been where I am right now know how difficult it is to start, but sometimes you've just got to jump.

I know I've said all these things before, but somethings clicked. Whether it be now being the girl who hates having her picture taken or the girl who refuses to look in the mirror, something has happened and I know I have to do this.

So here's to early New Years resolutions and not waiting until TOMORROW to start. Here's to my future jeans that will be sizes smaller and here's to that Girl who loves to look at herself in the mirror. Cheers!

Domestic

I have realized over this past year how much I love being domestic. I'm hosting a Christmas party for some of my closest friends and I can't wait! I'm already picturing how I want things set up and what not all else. I think next year for Christmas I'm going to ask for these reindeer plates from Pottery Barn because they have been a favorite of mine for the past few years, just never really thought I'd use them. It will be interesting to sit 7 people behind my kitchen table but I think it will work!

Random updates

So this week has been literally a whirlwind of activity. I think I've only seen my apt when I was falling in to bed and hearing my alarm go off in the mornings. We had our choir concert last night and the kids did a very nice job, they missed a couple of things we worked really hard on but that's ok! All in all for my first concert I thought it went pretty well. We can only learn from our mistakes right?

In other news Matt and I have become Scrabble nerds. There is a new app on the iphone called words with Friends and it's literally a scrabble game you play with other iphone users and it's so much fun! So we went out and bought a scrabble board and we can't get enough of it!

As you might have guessed I did lose but only by 20 points!

I did put my tree up last Wednesday, and while Clay called it my Charlie Brown Christmas tree, I think it's cute.

And here Matt and I are in front of the Galleria's Christmas tree, where we did a little Christmas shopping :)

Happy Friday!

Back to school

Well back to school today! I had a hard time getting up since my body wouldn't let me fall asleep until about 1 last night. Oh well!

I had a great Thanksgiving day with matt and his family. It was pretty much exactly how I would have spent it with my own, very laid back and chill. I am now looking forward to Christmas!

This week is a very busy week, we have our choir concert this Thursday in the gym at 530 and then right after I get to stay until 8 for craft night. Woohoo! All week were practicing with our choir after school to get them ready, I'm a little nervous since this will be the first time I've conducted any pieces since college! But I think the kids will do a great job and hopefully we will have a good turn out of parents that will attend.

Next Thursday were taking them to Northpark where they will sing outside of Dillards at 10 that morning, then after we get to take them shopping around the mall and eat lunch at the foodcourt.....should be an interesting day.

Have a great week!

Thanksgiving

As I was getting ready for school this morning I was thinking how this will be my first Thanksgiving without any of my family. It's interesting to me that were all spending the holiday with other loved ones this year. I feel very fortunate though that Matt's family has graciously offered to have me over to spend the day with them. They are a sweet family and I enjoy thier company very much. I've had many awkward boyfriend family encounters, I can't even begin to tell stories. But I've spent a lot of time with Matt's family and even though different then my own they make me feel right at home.

I willl be happy to spend christmas with my family though and my sweet nephew Campers who I'm sure will make it an exciting one. Last night I went to my parents house and he walked upstairs with me to do something and crawled right up in my lap. I like to think he knows who I am and that I love him very much. We enjoyed a few moments of saying, ball, popz, button, doggie, mama, and li-li. I'm still working on the aunt li-li thing, maybe it will catch on but who knows. After he got out of his bath he ran out and gave me a big hug and kiss night night. It was precious and I cherish these times right now when I can still pick him up and have him sit in my laugh. I think this age where he is right now is my favorite.

And I can't wait to meet my new nephew in Jan! Even ithough he lives in LA I'll still love him with all my heart just like I do with Paige!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Come on Week!

So I feel like this week has dragged on forever and I've gotten nothing really accomplished. Last night Matt and I got free tickets from one of his friends to see the Mavs play and it was so much fun! I hate the San Antonio Spurs, so it was fun to get to watch them play and we had great seats too! I was 12 rows back from the court, and Dirk is defnitly a huge dude!

This weekend I'm going to San Antonio for a teacher friends wedding, and I'm pretty excited about getting away from Dallas for a couple of days. Then next week is Thanksgiving break and I'm definitely looking forward to that.

I guess this is where I say what I'm thankful for?

I'll make a list for all 2 of you (mom and occasionally Emily) who read my blog.

1. My family
2. My niece and nephew (soon to be nephews)
3. Matt
4. Heather and Haley whom I talk to everyday on the phone.
5. My scotties
6. My job
7. My home
8. My students
9. Music, my life would be extremly boring without it.
10. My health.


I'd say I have quite a few things to be thankful for. God has blessed me with many wonderful things!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

First sickness

Well I feel pretty lucky to have made it this far without getting sick, but yet here I am feeling like pooh. I woke up this morning all congested and my head feels like it's about to explode and I'm pretty sure I could sleep till Friday and only get up to eat something and use the bathroom. Looks like my couch is going to be my friend for the new few days!


Hopefully the grouchiness will not continue all week, I'm feeling a little short tempered today.......

But in GOOD news, next week is Thanksgiving break and I'm looking forward to spending it with my two favorite scotties (besides sophie!!) at mom and dads. Even if that does mean no sleeping in for my break.....ahem....... :)

Happy Monday!

Oh and Happy Birthday to my Dad tomorrow!! Love you!

A few of my Favorite things

This Holiday season is rapidly approaching and I love it!

Here are a couple of my absolute favorite things about this holiday season.

Christmas Trees! I will be putting my Christmas tree up in my apt again this year. I love coming home to it and turning it on.

And of course the Peppermint Hot Chocolate at starbucks is a must. I get it with skim milk and no whip cream and it's just as wonderful! Of course this holiday treat can add up so I only treat myself every now and then. Today is my first cup and it's just amazing!

Cheers to the Holiday Season of 2009! May it be a wonderful one!

FInally Friday

It's finally Friday!

Last night I got to babysit campers and here are some pictures of things we did last night.

Eating Dinner, Aunt Lindsey forgot to take my shirt off so as I was eating my sweet potatoes I stuck my shirt in my mouth, but no worries Mom Aunt Lindsey sprayed it and left it on the dryer for you!

This was the look he decided to give me after I took his milk away from him. I wasn't being mean he kept throwing it and when I asked if he wanted it back and put his hand out to stop me. But this is what I like to call the Stink Eye!

And then finally here we are trying on Aunt Lindsey's Ugg boots. It was hilarious to watch him walk around in them!

After all this we took a bath then brushed our teeth, then my favorite part. He climbed in my lap and layed his head on my chest as we read "Mouse Goes to School" then we rocked and off to bed he went!

Thanks Campers for being such an awesome nephew, I love you with all my heart!



Don't forget to push the clockes back an hour tomorrow evening!!

Almost Friday

Today is Thursday, meaning tomorrow is Friday! I get to babysit my sweetest nephew in the whole entire world tonight! I know he's going through his wild man stage right now, but last time I got to babysit him we sat in his rocking chair and he just put his head on my shoulder and we just sat. He didn't fall asleep, we just enjoyed the rocking motion together. It was very sweet and I'm so thankful I have him and Paige, my niece in my life. I adore them both to the ends of the earth. I just wish they would stay little for longer!

I'm ready for colder weather, I hate this in between stuff. I'm wishfully looking outside right now as I type this watching the wind wisk through the trees and hoping it's like 20 degrees cooler when I leave here at 4!

Have a great Thursday!

I did it!

I finally figured out how to change my background and found one that I think is very cute. I don't stick with something for very long so more then likely it will change!

A new week

This weekend was a busy one but overall a good one. Sunday, Matt and I went with some friends to the new Village church that opened here in Dallas. It was an interesting experience to say the least. I haven't fully decided if I'm really just a big traditional girl at heart or I'm not opening my eyes towards new things. The music there was awesome, but the sermon felt impersonal for we watched the preacher on a big screen. He also preached about women being submissive and I wasn't too thrilled with how he portrayed it all. Sometimes I wonder if I allow my hot head to not let my heart fully hear the Lords word, but something about the way he spoke yesterday did not agree with me. Matt kind of felt the same way, and we may go back and try it again but we shall see. I do know that we will be attending PCBC again for the holiday season because I can't miss the beautiful music in the traditional service! Music to me is my worship, and if that's tacky I apologize, but it's where I hear God the most. The thing I did like about the village was all the young single adults that were there. They were all so friendly and around our age. I guess we will see where the Lord leads me in my church quest.

Friday night we went with our same couple friends to see Jim Gaffigan perform at the Majestic downtown. He's a really funny comedian and I'm glad I got to go. He was real clean but oh so hilarious! We had a good time.

Now on to a busy week, can I just say I'm tired of doing Halloween songs?! I'm ready to move on to Super Turkey, and other Christmas music. I can't beleive the holiday season is approaching us, but I can't say that I'm not looking forward to it either!

And for those of you who want to come see my darling choir kids sing at Northpark it's on Dec 10th sometime in the morning. I'll send an email when I know for sure.

Bragging rights

I'm real quiet about my relationships. I won't usually talk about my boyfriends unless you ask me something about them. Well today I decided to do a little bragging on Matt. He had text me yesterday saying he would like to cook dinner for me which is nice, but when I went over there he had these beautiful pink roses sitting in a vase for me. It was, "Just because" flowers. I thought it was very sweet. The last time he bought me flowers was about two weeks after we had been dating, I was getting a movie from the redbox and he wandered off, only to come back with flowers in hand. He really is a great guy and I'm very happy to have met him.

In other news this week has been crazy!! I honestly don't have much time to do anything. I have just felt on the go all the time, but luckily this weekend even though it's still busy I don't have too much I have to do. I try and get all my cleaning and laundry out of the way during the week so I can really fully enjoy my weekend.

I can't beleive October is almost over, I will be honest in saying I'm already listening to Christmas music a little at work. Pandora is a free radio and you just type in the genre of music and it makes up this wonderful playlist for you. I think it's been around for a long time but I had forgotten about it. So when I get to work in the mornings I check my school mail and listen to some Christmas music, it puts me in a good mood! Were taking our choir kiddos to Northpark to sing in Dec. and I'm really excited about it. This is the first year I've had anything to do with choir and honestly I'm the one teaching them their songs! Matt does the warm ups with them then I teach them the actual music. It's cool to hear them sing something and think, wow I taught you guys that? Still blows me away sometimes that I'm molding children's mind in some way! Not that I plan on ever winning teacher of the year but I really do love what I do.

All right, hope you guys have a happy friday!

Jean Friday

So the words "Jean Friday" have been freaking me out for the past 6 weeks because I haven't been able to put my jeans on and I was refusing to buy a bigger size so I left them to motivate me. Well today was the day, I got up this morning and zipped up my jeans!!! So yay me! And yes I did wear them to school and I'm feeling good :)


Have a lovely weekend!

Help

I still don't know much about the whole blogging thing and feel my blogging page is inadequate amongst the others out there. I don't know how to change the layout to other then what they offer and how to show who I'm following on the sides? Any advice would be helpful thanks!

Happy Friday!

Almost Friday

I had a 3 day week this week, because Monday was our fair day and Tuesday was staff development. So it's nice knowing that it's already almost Friday!

I feel like the craziness of my life may never cease for a while, but that's ok! I can't say that my life right now isn't wonderful. I feel like I've found good friends to be with, a wonderful boyfriend and a loving family. Can't as for more then that.

I've officially lost 8 pounds. Its not as much as I would like to lose but in all honesty, I've learned to pick my battles. In college when I wanted to fit in to a dress in a month I starved myself and ran everyday then immediatly put the weight back on. I feel like I'm doing it the right way this time. Exercising, I eat two low calorie snacks in the midmorning and afternoon and a sensible breakfast lunch and dinner. I eat out once a week now where as I was doing that all the time and it's helped a lot! Even if it takes a full year for me to get my figure back I think I'll be better because I learned good eating habits. I try and not eat after 8 because that way is supposed to help your food fully digest!

I try not to focus on the weight issue as to just making smarter choices. Life is too short for us to compare our body's to other's, because God made each of us beautifully. I know I can do it and will continue on with my journey!

Kowloon Salad

Here is that salad at baker brothers that was so yummy!

Kowloon...Oriental salad with mixed greens, roasted chicken, crunchy rice noodles, red, yellow and green bell peppers, topped with mandarin oranges and toasted almonds.

Sorry

Sorry that I haven't blogged lately, I know so many of you are anxious to hear what I have to say ;) I don't have a working computer at home so school is the only time I really can get on one and I've been so stinkin busy!

Let's see, I had a pretty relaxing weekend, yesterday I went on a nice long walk because it was beautiful outside. Today I feel like pooh, my body is tired and my throat hurts so I better not be getting something!! Although October and March/April are usually the two times I get sick a year so I'm due I guess.

I'm still working out and eating healthy, this weekend Matt and I went and ate at Baker brothers and I ordered a salad with dressing on the side! I know right?? It was really good and i figured out I could make it at home, it was called their Kowloo or something like that salad. It was an asian dressing with little crunchies in it, red peppers and chicken. It was really good!

Things that keep me motivated are as followed:
1. Fitting in to dresses for weddings
2. Watching the biggest loser, I bawl my eyes out everytime and those people are HUGE and losing weight like nobody's business, it's so inspirational!
3. Knowing I can fit in to my winter pants again this winter :) I haven't worn pants in a long time because I'm too self concious about my thighs and waist so Pants HERE I COME!


Happy Tuesday!

Losing a Pet

Matt called me last night to tell me his families beloved dog peanut had died of kidney failure. She was 14. I had met Peanut and she was never very pleasant with me, but she was a cute dog. She was no bigger then a football and when I would come have dinner with matt and his family she would come running out barking nipping at my feet, it was actually pretty funny.

I remember when we had to put our first family pet down, Sheba. She knew it was her time to go and it was a really sad day, and then very sad when we came home for the first time and she wasn't out there to greet us at the back fence. I'll never forget the sadness that comes with losing a pet. I know Matt is sad today but he knows she's in a better place.

Peanut you'll be missed!

On a brighter note, my sister found the dress I had posted on a previous post on sale for 100 dollars! I was excited to go and get it after school and it's now hanging proudly in my closet ready to be worn in Novemeber when I've reached my goal weight then :) Thanks Em!

Busy

This school year has proven itself to be vastly different then the years before it. I don't think I stop once I get to school, I'm constantly teaching or copying, or learning a new lesson etc. It's been great though and I'm thankful to be at a school where I have so many friends and great coworkers.

Still working out, still watching what I eat. We went to eat Mexican food this weekend and I think I had two chips, which are my favorite thing. I'm learning that if I'm going somewhere kind of fattening for dinner I eat a little snack beforehand so I don't indulge as much, so I had a handful of almonds before I left for dinner, it kept my chip eating to a minimum! But the soup and quesadillas were totally worth my points!!

Football season has begun and I'm not much of a fan for college football because I didn't have a team at OBU but watching the Cowboys last night in their new stadium, while disappointing is so much more fun for me!

The week ahead is a busy one, but it should be a great one!

Weighing in

I have weighed myself and by some crazy miracle I have officially lost 4 pounds. I'm not gonna lie when I say I'm not going to miss those four pounds. According to my weight watchers tracker that's too much weight to lose in one week they like for us to stick to 2 pounds but hey this week may only be 2 pounds you just never know! I hate getting on the scale I don't like it. But I keep telling myself it's motivating me to see those numbers going down, even if it's only a little at a time.

I found out this weekend I have another wedding to attend in Oct. for one of Matt's good guy friends. So that pushes me more to really keep it up so I can find something pretty to wear! Even though there are days that are hard I gotta keep focused on the goal at hand. I HATE making my weight be a central focus right now which is why I'm trying not so much to focus on the weight loss as I am on the getting healthy part and making healtheir choices.

I'm looking in to getting a personal trainer once a week at my gym, I'm thinking it would be really good for me and I could use those workouts on the days I am not being trained and that will also help keep me in line with my weight goals if someone is watching me! I guess we shall see.

As for dinner tonight, some grilled chicken with bbq sauce, brown rice, and green beans! Yum!

9/11

8 years ago today I was sitting in my Aquatic Science class (yes that's as far as my science went!!) Watching the towers on fire, then falling to the ground only moments later. I cried, surrounded by classmates of whom none I was friends with, Aquatic sci wasn't really where all the smart or cool kids were ;) I let tears roll down my face. I know that I'm a sensitive person, I hate watching Animal movies because more then likely an animal is going to get hurt or die and I can't deal with that. Anyway, watching the events unfold all day you couldn't hear a pin drop in that school. The only sound you heard was the tv's going in each room. It is a day I'll never forget.

I remember I came home that day and continued to watch it. That evening as I was laying in bed I kept thinking I was hearing airplanes flying over us even though planes were grounded, and I went and crawled in bed with Emily.

We each have our own story of where we were, and what we were doing when we heard the news. It's amazing how we each have such strong opinions about politics and what leaders aren't doing what etc, but when a tragedy like this happens, how quickly we are as Americans to come together and be there for each other, and that's something I'll never forget.

"God Bless the USA"

Wedding Season

In the month of November I have 3 weddings to go to. They're all on a different weekend and all with different people. My goal is to be able to fit in to this dress from Anthropologie. I haven't shopped there in a long time because I can't fit in to their clothes right now and that's depressing! I love that store even if it's expensive. Anyway I love this dress and have had my eye on it for about a month now. I'm hoping it will be in their sale items soon, but I figure I'll buy it in a smaller size and have that as my goal for November. I'm the kind of person that wants to change over night, but let's face it Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm working hard and eating better then I have and I can tell I have much more energy during the day. I don't focus on the end result, if you ever go to a weight watchers meeting they tell you to focus on today's goal, which mine is, eat healthy and move around a lot!

Even on days I can't get to the gym I feel ok because I teach 6 classes straight 4 days out of 5 and I'm constantly on my feet, teaching dances, walking around the room, beating an instrument etc. Plus I walk around our school building all the time, I hardly have a second to myself. I love going to the gym though and walking on the treadmill and lifting my weights. I know that as I'm tracking my points and activity points I can include the times when I'm up acting like a crazy person in front of my kiddos!

All right, well have a happy Wed!

Four Day week!

Four day weeks are great, three day are even better! My long weekend was anything but restful. I helped Matt move in to his new apt all weekend and then helped him unpack and set things up. While I love putting my organizational skills to work I came home last night just pooped!! But I'm rested now and feeling good. This week should fly by and before I know it, it will be Friday again and hopefully this weekend I can catch up on some zzz's :)

Matt started his new job this morning, he text me at 845 exclaiming his excitement and nervousness! I know he'll be great!

After school we have an area team meeting then its off to the gym! I'm sore from moving heavy boxes up and down stairs all day Sunday and yesterday but in all honesty I wasn't too badly outta shape so that was a great feeling!!! If I were a mover I'd lose 20 pounds in two weeks from the heat we moved in this weekend! It was good exercise though :)

Happy Tuesday!

Going Vegetarian

So yesterday I was at school until 6, then I run home changed clothes and met a gf for dinner. Got home about 830 last night and was just exhausted. So I got ready for bed and watched some tv. While flipping through channels I came across a very disturbing sight on one of my many mexican channels. It's now embedded in to my brain and I can't stop thinking about it. I will not ever tell anyone what I saw because it was so horrifying, needless to say I will not be eating meat anytime soon. So in that regards I have decided to become a vegetarian. I have looked at weight watchers online and they do have many weight watcher recipes for vegetarians, I just have to learn how to eat beans and other veggies that are good for protein. I may sneak in the occasional chicken but never beef again!

I'm looking forward to the long weekend! I kind of hope that it does rain in the evenings because we need it and I just love the rain. I'll be helping Matt move in to his new apt so that's exciting for him. It's always fun on 3 day weekends when Sunday is not your last day to get stuff done before the week starts!

Happy Laboring!

Meet the Teacher

So tonight is meet the teacher night at our school, meaning I'll probably sit in my room till 630 with a few friends bringing their parents down but not many.

I work in a very spanish speaking school, so I've thought about learning a little more spanish. I have an all spanish speaking Kindergarten class and while they are just absolutely adorable they don't always understand me so when disciplining it's a little frustrating. I have a friend who used Spanish in your car while she drove around so she's going to let me borrow that, so we'll see if my spanish gets any better!!

As of right now I know how to say, No running, please sing, bathroom, walking feet and their names, oh and bubble in your mouth please! While it's good for them to learn English as well I'd feel better about teaching them if they understood me a little bit!

Busy day today! Then get to meet a gf for dinner. My social has never been so full as it was this week. Usually during the school year I like to lay low on school nights but I've enjoyed being out and about spending time with good friends :)

Notice anything Different?

So I took the plunge yesterday and decided to cut off 10 inches of my hair! I didn't even have a second to think about it before she snipped it away. I feel lighter already even though it's just hair! Took me about 10 minutes this morning to dry and style it with my flat iron.

Breakfast is always a challening meal for me because I leave my apt by about 700 and get to school at 715. Leaving me about 5 hours between lunch and breakfast with no breaks for a snack. So I've finally found something I love eating that keeps me pretty full until about 1130!

Eggo whole grain waffles. They are yummy! Two of them is 160 calories which is about 2 points I think for weight watchers then I put a little peanut butter on the top of each and go! It's really yum and very fast and easy. Bananas are also good filler foods but I have yet to get to the grocery store to get any fruit.

I made myself a really good meal last night. I found this burger recipe off of weight watchers and the burger is about 4 points then with cheese and a bun it made it about 7 which is awesome then I baked some green beans to go with and it was delicious!

1 spray(s) cooking spray

1 pound(s) uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
4 item(s) reduced-calorie hamburger roll(s)

Healthy Eating

For about the past year and a half I have struggled with weight gain. When I first moved out on my own I was happy, healthy and active! Then I lost my job, had to study, was in a stressful relationship and my happiness and activity decreased. I got in a rut of not taking care of myself as well as I should have. Family members began to comment on my weight which only made me feel worse about myself. It was a constant battle between having to feel like I needed to impress them or feeling of despair with myself. I tend to be really hard on myself and I'm learning to make small changes. I won't change over night, but if I just tell myself each morning that I can do it I know that I'll eventually get to my goal. (which I'm keeping to myself at this point)


I've done the whole weight watchers thing before and it works for a little bit but you feel constrained after a while and I get bored very easily. So I'm taking things I learned on weight watchers and from what I've learned from friends and combining it all in to one big awesome plan. I don't like the word "diet", it's a scary word and it really should just disappear from the English language. I have been tracking my points online with the weight watchers online tool which really is great and it's got lots of great recipes on it.


I'm excited about this process and I know it will benefit everything about me in the future. There will be days of frustration and tiredness from work, but I know I can do it and that's all that matters. Carpe Diem, Seize the day. Always make this day better then the one before!

What am I doing?

So I've always made fun of people (secretly) who do blogs that are single, not married, no pets, no kids etc. But I have a lot of friends doing it and I love reading thier stuff! I'm not sure what wonderful insights I have to offer anyone and I'm kind of doing this more for myself then I am for the actual viewing. Nothing eventful is going on as of right now, but I didn't want to leave my first day blank! As more time passes I'm sure I'll have something fun to offer.....haha maybe!
