WINTER AND WEIGHT LOSS

Ok, so I lost another 1.5 pounds putting me at.....drumroll please....

31

pounds lost!!!!!

On another note I have added more photos to the photo challenge page.

Today the "blizzard" came through. According to my snowman in the front yard we've gotten about 8 inches.

I just let the dogs outside and it is still snowing so I am guessing at this rate my snowman will be covered by morning. I am hoping for a snowday tomorrow, so is Dalton :)

What else  is new....oh, I rejoined the gym. I have went twice, but I really want to try and get some sort of routine for myself. Now that I've lost this weight, I am pretty flabby and could stand to get some exercise.

On kind of a funny note, I cannot find the remote for our living room. So I have shut the TV off in there until Mike gets home tomorrow and can look for it....he was the last one to touch it. We have direct TV in 3 rooms, and two of them have interchangable remotes, but since the living room has Tivo on it as well, we can only use that certain remote. I think he accidentally put it in his bag when he was getting ready for work. If it ends up popping up someplace silly I will definatly update on that....I know, such exciting news.

So, I suppose that is it. The kids are very excited about Santa's arrival next week, and we are going to my parents on Friday to have christmas there so they will get to open some really fun gifts before Christmas actually gets here.

I'm sure I will post again before christmas......

Have a good week!

Happy Holidays....

So the holiday season is officially here. Our house is decked out in lights....giving the Griswalds a run for their money! I love it though. I don't let it stress me too much, I have enough non holiday stuff to stress me on a daily basis. The kids are SUPER excited and ask if Santa is coming tomorrow.....EVERYDAY!
All my cards have been mailed out.
My shopping is done for the most part. Just a couple stray gift cards to pick up, a couple boxes to pack and ship.

We picked up the tree the other day. This was our first year that all of us went to the tree farm and hiked out to get our tree. It was beautiful outside walking through all the trees while the snow was coming down.....Cold as hell though....well, hell is supposed to be hot, but you know what I mean. 

November 25....feeling good!

Alright, so Turkey Day is done.....next stop on the holiday front is Christmas. I am ready for it. I love christmas, I really do. And honestly, I think I enjoy the giving more than the receiving. I always have. In the past we always had lots of friends or co workers to exchange gifts with and it was always fun to me to try and put together something special. Even better is when you can find that perfect little "something", that the person just loves. So I am looking forward to that. I actually already found Mike a couple things he didn't request that I think he is going to love.

What else....So I lost another pound over the holiday-awesome. I'm doing good with the weight loss, and it makes me feel great. I think I am really going to do it for good this time.

Last night we went out with David and Lorri. God, how nice this is, to actually have friends again. And you know, I do think I can call them friends. I know I am a little hard to take in at first....I talk too much, and I am scatter brained at times, but if you can get past that I am OK :) We went out to dinner last night at Beale Street Cafe in Rochester and it was wonderful. Good food, good beer and good company-can't beat that. Afterwords we went to see Into The Wild---beautiful movie. I've been wanting to see this. I read the book a couple years ago and was totally taken aback at the way Chris McCallaster decided to to live his life, and the way he ultimatly died because of his decisions. The movie really was done beautifully. It made you want to hit the road and live like a tramp making your way however you can. At any rate, the movie was great!

So my weekend has been a good one! Hope yours was too!

Have a Happy Turkey Day!
