Everyone has a DOWN day and this was mine…NOT going to let it win!

Posted on 11/04/2011 by admin

Whew! This whole week has been rather stressful. It has felt like a 30 day week and today is only Thursday! I found this clipart, I attached, because I wish I could have put this on my door for this week but you know that won’t happen with kids around, places to be, school, etc.

I did have a food relapse today and I am not proud of it, but I know if I beat myself up too much this relapse will turn into tow days, then three, and then who knows how long. Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning on my big goal to health.

Here is what I ate today! Continue reading →

My First Fondant Halloween Cake!

Posted on 11/04/2011 by admin

I was browsing around the Internet for some cool Halloween cakes. I came across one that I loved and did not totally copy it but did use it as a pattern. I wish I remembered what blog it was from because I would give them credit for the idea. I have searched Google and few times, using the name, in variations, that I thought it was, and I am wrong because I am unable to find it. If I figure it out I will come back and give credit where credit is due.

I was making this cake for my friends, kids, Halloween party. I hope it went over well! I have not heard if it did, but I am sure it tasted good.  How do you like it? Continue reading →

Maybe I could sell it on eBay and get it out of here!

Posted on 11/03/2011 by admin

eBay and Craigslist have become awesome places to get rid of the stuff you don’t want or need anymore and I love both of them.

This year I am wondering what would really sell on these sites.

I have something to sell, well rather something I need to get out of this house. So what do you think of this…will it sell? Continue reading →

You are what you eat…I can agree with that today, UGH!

Posted on 10/30/2011 by admin

You are what you eat, and they are not kidding! I feel horrible, but on my way out of this food coma!

I would add a cool image here but am not on my computer so it will be a plane Jane post for today!

I have been on a 3 day excursion with my awesome friend Heidi and it is not that we have eaten bad for those 3 days but I have not eaten like I usually do and it is now taking it’s toll!

I have kept doing my Shakeology for breakfast or lunch but had some movie popcorn yesterday and Mexican for dinner and pumpkin pie late. OMG I felt like a bloated elephant when I woke up this morning. It did not stop there. Continue reading →

Had to break into my house!

Posted on 10/28/2011 by admin

I was rushing out the door to get my daughter to dance and we had 40 minutes to drive 25 minutes so we were going to be early. We are never earl so i was happy we did not have to rush. I had the keys on the arm of the sofa and was taking things to the car…including the kids.

We all walked out the door and I locked it and closed it and, BAM, my keys were in the house on the sofa. Oh my hell! I dumped my purse and the extra key was not in there. I checked every window and they were all locked. I checked all doors and they were locked.

We have never given anyone an extra key and my landlord lives 45 minutes away and is out of town weekly. My husband was halfway to Cleveland so he was it least 90 minutes away…I was screwed.

I did have the garage door opening in my car so I opened it and found these tools and this is how I go into the house. Continue reading →

Leading by example…aren’t they cute?!

Posted on 10/27/2011 by admin

When it comes to leading a healthy life and having your kids lead a healthy life, it all comes down to one thing really…example!

I used to wait until my kids went to bed or school to workout and the last few weeks I have been working out while they are awake and home. See what happens when I do that…I get workout buddies, and how cute are they?

This is what else I have noticed since I have started working out with them at home. Continue reading →

Working out after InterStim Surgery

Posted on 10/26/2011 by admin

I had InterStim- aka Sacral nerve Stimulation done in December 2010. I was on my weight loss journey prior to the surgery and was worried I would not be able to workout like I did before the surgery. Come to find out, I was able to workout with it. i created a YouTube about it as I want to share with those searching for answers prior to their InterStim trial. If you know anyone that is thinking about InterStim I hope you will share my video with them.

Here it is!

College books can cost a fortune, so why not rent and save 90%?!

Posted on 10/25/2011 by admin

 

 

College, college, college!

College is a fun time, there’s ups and downs, stresses and parties, drama and friends, so many decisions, etc..

But, college is also a pain, for a couple of reasons. One of these reasons is: the cost. You have tuition, fees, rent, etc…Then when you think you have everything paid for; there is one more expense that hits you in the head… TEXTBOOKS!

It’s never fun to have to put out $500+ for books that you will only use for one semester and then you can try to sell them back for $5 each, or they just sit on the bookshelf and collect dust your whole life.

So now, there is a better way! Companies have come up with a way to rent textbooks so you only have to pay a fraction of the cost! Continue reading →
