Well way back in January I started watching what I ate with my fitness pal. I started working out regularly (well as regular as I can get) with Wii's My fitness coach and Xbox Just Dance. I started running, and I ran a 5km and I have lost almost 30 pds. I set two goals wonderland, and fitting into regular clothing (with a true goal of a lululemon hoddie). I have achieved those goals. Not sure about the hoodie I am too afraid to find out, but the regular sizes are good. Now out loud to the world I am giving out my last goal. I want to lose 2.5 pds by Dec 31, 2013. Again, sounds like nothing but it is huge especially since I am the half pound wonder.....but I know its achievable. So, to all my past and present cheerleaders I am calling on you to cheer me on. When I get there trust me you will know. That being said, feel free to cheer me (or others that you know are doing what I am), and when I get there help me celebrate my tears of joy with lots of jumping up and down.
I will keep you posted but in the mean time, I gotta get my little red head boy lunch and try not to eat the chocolates I made and work out this afternoon when I really want to sleep!
Cheer Cheer Cheer LOL
I swear I will get there--I got my bitches behind me, my hubby and my babies. I will however take a few more pushes.
Until I achieve my 2.5 pd lose--take care and enjoy the festive season. Merry Christmas!

JAMAICA BABY
Well, we did it, we surprised our 3 children plus two more from another family with a trip to Jamaica! It was not easy, it was, let us say, exhausting! BUT totally worth it!
After all the hell my family has been through with the flood, having no kitchen, constant renovations, my cyst bursting, lice growing, not be able to have play dates and well just life--we said FUCK IT and LETS GET THE HELL OUTTA DODGE!
We had a lovely agent Linda linda.dipenta@travelplus.ca who helped plan everything for us. We told our children we were going to Montreal for the weekend with friends. We said we were going to the Bio-Dome--which is totally cool but seriously its not Jamaica. We managed to hide the suitcases (not an easy task) and got them to bed around 11:00pm. We had arrange a wake up call at 2:00am and told the children the other family needed our help and we had to scoot over to their room--as they were half in the bag they just followed. It was not until we were in the room when my middle child Connor said "Shhh I think this might be something good." Well, he was right, it was but they were so tired and out of it that they were like "Oh ok Jamaica--but I want to go to the Bio-Dome"-----seriously! After 20 minutes and explaining everything the jumping and excitement began.
The flight was great. The resort well, it was AMAZING!!!

I could write several blogs about what we did and how amazing it was but I wanted to write about how unbelievable it was to go away-not think-just be-lay in the sun-have some cocktail-laugh with my kids-hold hands on the beach-see some beautiful beaches and creatures.
But, that would take all day. I just want people to know that everyone needs a break. Everyone is busy, everyone has their own shit to deal with. No one is busier than the other. I had a breaking point and this was my salvation. To be honest Jamaica was a dream come true but if I did not have the money the Montreal Bio-Dome would have been fantastic. I just needed to recharge the batteries and BE.
That week was amazing. Coming home always sucks but I am always happy to be home. I am running around again getting Christmas decorations up, catching up on homework, and the never ending house cleaning. BUT I have a tan, a FINISHED kitchen, and a happy family. I do not need anything more!
When I am freaking out with everything, I stop pretend I am on the beach, and chill for a minute and life is always better. If you can't get to a beach, find your happy place, breath and ahhhhhh life is good!
Thank you to all of you who kept my secret, who helped plan, rearranged schedules, and who have been there for me through all this shit! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! To the Sears--2014 Florida and 2015 Jamaica sounds lovely--I just don't want a new kitchen before I go! BTW I ALWAYS check my dishwasher (my new Bosh rocks!) and I turned the water to my house off for the first time before I went away---the little things I will do now.
Here is a couple of pics of the gang

Thanks Piero, Caitlin, Connor, Cayla, Jason, Kelly, Morgan and Eric for a fantastic holiday!
I look forward to next year with a possible few more stragglers...... ;-)

Throw the scale out....well maybe!
Okay I know that the scale is a horrible thing, and I know I was worried about becoming attached to it. Well, I am. BUT, I have realized that there is so many other ways to show my weight lose journey. Some of them have made me double over in laughter and others brought grins to my face.
In the last couple of weeks I have been crazy busy but I have been noticing some funny things that have made me realize I have lost weight. So, get ready for some giggles all at my expense cause there is some funny ones.
So I have been running around trying to get my house back together so exercising as not been as big of a priority, and neither has been spending time getting ready in the morning. I got dressed the other day and put my bra on when all of a sudden I realized my boob was completely lost in my bra. I could have packed two of those sucks in one cup. I have been the same size in the chest for ever, I have been a 40D and currently I am a 34C now.
Another morning I was running down the stairs in a cute skirt when I almost went face first in the hardwood. One would think I may have tripped over something but sadly that was not the case. My underwear fell down to my ankles, while running down the stairs. Funny yes--pretty NO!
Every woman has a pair of "fat girl" or "PMS" pants that are their go to every month. I went to put my on cause I was feeling bloated and yucky. Well, did I laugh, my PMS pants were officially ready to be given to the next linebacker for a CFL team!
I was cleaning out my closet. Trying on clothes which fit and did not fit. When I turned, the pile that did not fit -- meaning the TOO BIG pile was greater than the fit pile.
I brought all the winter gear up only to discover my winter coat that I loved last year is too big and needs to be taken in ALL OVER.
BUT the best one was when I was lining the shelves in the kitchen with shelf paper. My back was getting sore and I wanted to sit down. Behind me was my little two step ladder. I kinda fell into it thinking I would lean when I sat. I mean I sat......down..........on the step ladder. MY ASS FIT--WITH ROOM!!! I laughed, I danced, I cried. Seriously I am not lying I did all that, At. Home. Alone. Then I called my girlie and girl, my hubby and even my Mommy!
So, when I bitch about a half a fucking pound, I will take out my ladder and sit down awhile and smile. I will remind me I have lost almost 30 pounds (sounds better than 28). I have come down 2 dress sizes and no longer need a plus size store. ( 18+ to a size 14 regular) Most importantly I will think of my girlfriend Kelly who has told me at least a dozen times to "throw the fucking scale out" and smile, giggle and move on!
I have enclosed a picture of me sitting on my ladder in my newly fixed kitchen after a hot shower after my 5km run tonight--booyah!

5KM and me
Holy Hell I did it. I just ran a 5km race. I have been running and I have completed the 5km at home but there is something special about doing it with your family and friends cheering you on.
I ran for the CIBC Run for the Cure http://www.runforthecure.com/. I ran it with 3 beautiful friends and loved it!
I honestly did not think that I could do this. Honestly, I never thought that my big ass could do it. You are talking about a girl that has not skied for fear that my ass would not fit in a snowsuit to ski in! So, that being said I am so pleased that I said I would do it, set a goal of just running the whole thing, and actually completing the run! When Julie said she wanted to run in the Spring and I said why wait--I really was not thinking. I thought we would give up---I know its sad but honestly I have never followed through on anything LOL. Not only did we do it, we have all lost weight and have really enjoyed the running.
After our run we all went to Tutti Frutti http://www.tuttifruttidejeuners.com/fr/ for some yummy breakfast. Now this restaurant is a bit on the expensive side but when I say the service rocks it is freakn' kick ass! We have never gone as a table of 5 but a minimum of 11 and today we had 15. Not one fuck up! Not one late meal, or cold meal. Coffee is super yummy and always flowing! It was here we talked about doing another 5km in a couple of weeks called Rattle me Bones. It was also here we talked about doing a 10km in the Spring/summer.
All I know is I am proud of me! I have never been prouder, and I am proud of my girls! I will not stop, I may not post every 5 minutes on FB as I am sure people are like "Seriously here she goes again!" But all those words of encouragement meant the world to be. I ask a favour from all of you, next time you see a runner, cheer them on! It feels great!
Thanks to the beautiful lady that took the time to congratulate me on my first 5km--you made me smile, cry and heart swell with pride. THANKS everyone!

I did it!
Yes its been awhile. Its amazing how fast time passes by. I wanted to give you an update on the whole weight lost exercising thing. Well, I have been running. Yes, running, well jogging and even that its slow. I have been using the podcast Couch to 5km. It works! I am on week 8 which is the final week, and I ran 5km nonstop in 42 minutes. I nearly crapped my pants. I was crying. I was so damn proud of me! My hubby was with me and to be honest he pushed me the last 3 minutes and I did it. I have registered in the Run for the Cure on Oct 6, 2013. I have registered with some very special ladies and I look forward to do it and from what I understand be inspired. I am running for everyone, but more specifically for my wonderful Aunt Kay. She doesn't even know, but not only is she a survivor (of many alignments) but she is a true inspiration. Knowing that I have done this once, makes me breath easier for the Oct 6 date. My only goal was to run the whole thing. I will let you know how it goes. Listen guys, if I can do this so can you! I for the first time actually realize I have lost weight, and my body has changed. I have seen the changes! Clothes don't fit, I feel better, and actually look forward to my run ever second day. If I inspire one person to change and become healthier all this shit and hard work is worth it. Well, it worth it for me anyways, but I want people to understand if this fat ass bitch can do it YOU CAN DO IT! BTW got a name for our little team of runnings. My husband wanted the Barrhaven Bitches but I did not think they would welcome us but we came up with JST DO IT K! Julie, Sonia, Tina and Kelly! Cute eh?! Keep on trucking, I am. Let's do it together.
Sunday 28 July 2013
July is almost over
Well its been awhile since I have posted and thought I would send a quick update. A couple of great things have happened. I have lost more weight and I have maintained some. I have lost an additional 3 pounds since my major goal. I have been on holidays for the last week and a half and I did not lose but I did not gain! That is a miracle considering I have been drinking and eating some pretty wonderful food! I still think about what I am going to eat when we are out and try to stick to the better choice. I think it has been what has worked for me! I am going to start inputting all my food again as I took a holiday from it, but I need to see what I have been eating to help me make better choices.
I have also started a new exercise. A dear friend talked one day about wanting to do a run, and me and my big mouth said "Why wait, let's do it now." So, in getting ready for my first "real" 5km I have started Couch to 5km. I did do a 5km with my kids a couple of years ago, and that was with a stroller and lots of "come on Mom you can do it!" This time my plan is to RUN the entire 5km. It just seems sad when I say it as 5km is not a lot. I walk that almost 3 times a week, but running it without leaving my lungs on the side of the road is a hell of a lot different. I am on week 2 and I am finding it easier then I expected. I think all the other exercises I have been doing helps. That being said I did take the week and a bit off of working out, and I know I will pay for it on my first couple of exercise times but oh well. It needs to be done to get to my next goal.
Speaking of next goal, I am putting it out there. I want to lose another 15 pounds for my cousins wedding in September. Ok, so I just said it out loud. I know it won't be easy as everything for me is slow. But, slow is better than to fast. My prize will be shopping for my dress. I bought my first non plus size dress (size 14 people now that is fucking huge for me). I loved it for the size it said, but I loved it cause it looks good too. I am the first person to realize that the size of a dress doesn't matter as there can be so many different styles etc that a size can change from 1 to 2 dress sizes. BUT it was a non plus size and to me that is all that mattered. I am expecting to have a beautiful dress for September with some beautiful bling from my favourite place-- Stella and Dot!
I will let you know how my journey goes. But, always know you can do it, sometimes we stop, sometimes we cheat, but overall you can do it! I was walking around my neighbourhood the other day when one of my neighbours stopped me and told me how wonderful I look and asked me all kinds of questions, like how, what have you been doing and I found my self standing taller and puffing out my chest a bit more acting all proud and shit! So, thanks Nancy, those words made me freakin' day, and gave me the motivation I needed to get back to it!
'Till next time stay strong, have fun, and get a friend to do it with they are the best support in the entire world!

I DID IT!!!
I did it! I have climbed my mountain, and I am screaming!!!! What I have to laugh about is it was the half a damn fucking pound, but that damn half pound brought me to where I want to be! This is the first goal I set for myself. The next one will be decided on shortly. I just really wanted to get here first. As a result of getting here, I even figured out my next tattoo!
This has been a long road, admittedly hard at times, admittedly sabotaged by myself, but what a feeling people. Knowing that it was hard work, and it took a lot of time, I think makes me happier????
Whatever, I am screaming, I love me, and I am proud of me. Happy dance time!
For those on this journey keep going people this warm fuzzy, heart pounding, eye popping feeling fuckn' rocks!!!!!!
Just had to share........

Still going
Well I am officially 1 pound from my goal. I have really struggled with this, I should be happy, yet it has taken a long time. I have lost a 1/2 pound every week for weeks. I know I have not been as diligent about my works out. I can say my life is very busy, but that is an excuse. I can say I tired, but I know that is an excuse. I have also not been religiously inputting my food into www.myfitnesspal.com. All of these factors play into the 1/2 pound. I am proud to say I have lost, and like everyone else on the weight lose journey will say with me, its never fast enough. I have promised myself to work harder, exercise more and go back to filling in my journal. I have noticed that my body totally reacts to a lack of water (holy bloated batman), too many carbs (coma sleep now please), and not enough exercise (couch looks really good). I will push myself and get to my goal and when I do, I think I will need to scream from a mountain somewhere. A lot of people have asked me what my reward will be, and I have struggled with an answer, because I think seeing the numbers and the results will be enough. For those on this journey, hang in there, it is worth it. Too my girlie girls that are my rocks, you will be the first to know, and a celebration via a "porch night" will be epic! I have also promised a friend to help each other do a 5 km race in the fall. Getting there will be fun, NOT, but it will be totally worthwhile. When she mentioned it, she said next year my answer to her was "why wait lets do this fall". So, the training has begun and will continue. Even if I walk half its something I have not done with a friend and want to say I have. Fingers crossed for me for the next few weeks that I get to my only goal I set out and I promise you will hear when I do! Thanks for listening!

Scale alert!
Okay so I have not written lately about my weight lose journey mostly cause I have been busy and really besides a half a pound here and there I have only lost another 2 pounds. At first I did not think it was something to talk about but....I figured someone out there my understand my journey! My journey is slow, very slow. I have noticed such huge differences in my clothes its weird. I know that my workouts are what is doing it for sure. BUT, every time I get on the damn scale its nothing or half a pound. I will admit I weigh myself everyday, but only take the number on Friday. It sucks!
I still have enjoyed the occasional small bowl of chips and sadly some pieces of birthday cake in the last couple of weeks. That is what I get for having all three kid's birthday's in April, May and June. But, its still going down. To say I am not pleased would be an understatement. I am so close to my wonderland goal that its frustrating. I know I can kick up the work outs, but with the long weekend and hauling lots of dirt and gardening I figured it counted. The nights are filled with soccer, and I am trying to figure out a schedule as my old one does not always work.
I just want to tell you, I am not giving up, I have still lost weight, and I am still living a very happy and healthy life. I know I have preached about the Wii's my fitness coach, but people it works! I find myself yelling at the TV. I get shit when I log in and have not worked out everyday, and I find myself telling her off. LOL I know she is doing her job and she is not real, but sadly I feel like I am letting her down. I have officially called her Lucy....no idea why, she just looks like one to me and maybe cause she is yelling (not at all) at me. If you are still couch bound, sad bound, or chip bound, try it out. The Just Dance is really fun too.
I know I set this blog up for scrapbooking, and I promise to get some stuff up here, and some ideas. I will do my best, which is really all we can do.
Stay strong, believe in yourself and try My fitness coach and my fitness pal.

Bits and Bobs
Okay, so I have not been as diligent about writing on my blog. SHOCKER!!! NOT!!!! I always think I will do this, and some how life gets in the damn way!
For my scrappers out there, I have some news. I have planned my National Scrapbook day. I promise that it is going to be a good one! I have planned for May 11, 2013. It is from 9:30am-9:30pm. I can hear the WTF's from the non-scrapbookers now, but just know the time will FLY by! I have a fantastic menu, lots of FREEBIES, some great ideas to share and some pretty rockn' ladies to hang with. If you are interested just email me or leave a post. The cost is $55.00, and let me tell you my Italian nature comes out at these things and you do nothing more than work, chat, and laugh while I do the rest.
For the people who have followed my weight lost journey, I have lost a total of 15 pounds. BUT, I have lost a lot of inches! The working out thing works DUH! I am still using www.myfitnesspal.com. It really does work. I am still using my Wii and X-Box. I have started going for walks with my family and friends. Even, Cayla my 8 year old thinks 5 KM is a long way, but she kills it! I recently went shopping for my youngest Communion, and I had a blast. This is not normally the way I feel when I have to shop for me. I picked up a cute dress from Laura's. One thing I love about Laura's is that you can shop there and get the same dresses in plus and in pettite without leaving. I tried on some dresses from both the regular and plus side. It was great. I even went into Melanie Lynn and tried on dresses there. They fit, tight, but fit, which is something I have not been able to do in a long time. The highlight was going into Banana Republic. I went shopping with my older brother and his friend, and they go to Banana every Wednesday as they get coupons for 40%. So, I went just to look for them. I seen this coat, man was it cute. The rack was calling my name, then I noticed an extra large.....I shit my pants. Then I did something I never have done, I tried it on. Of course I made sure no one was around, and casually slip it on. I died, in fit!!! The real question was whether or not I could zip it up. IT DID!!!!!! I nearly shit right there! Needless to say I bought it and it was only $75.00 regularly $215.00~love me a great deal!
Anyways, that is my excitement. I just want to say slow and steady with a bit of chinese on the side, is working well ;)

SOME EXCITING NEWS
It has been awhile since I wrote on here and to be honest I am not sure why. I think its cause I worry to much about what people think. I also have not really lost much more weight but I have lost inches for sure. I did decide to write on here today to give you an update on my weight lose situation and share some exciting news.
First of all, I am down 12 pounds! Yeah Me! BUT I am totally down in sizes, shape and up in my ability to exercise! I am most excited about my work outs. I am still doing My Fitness Coach and Dance 4, but I also have started using my treadmill more regularly. I walk at 3.0/3.5 and run at 4.0/4.5 for shorter times. I realized when I put on a show I like the time flies. I love watching WEEDS! So, when I want a change I go on the treadmill and 30 minutes fly by! I put on another show and boom, another 30 minutes and then I realize I have just walked for one hour.
My eating habits have really changed as well. I am eating healthier, and having no snacks! When I feel the urge to eat, I leave the house and go visit my brother. He buys nothing good for his place, which in turn helps me ;) I have learned that a bag of chips is not single serving and to be honest I really have not eaten them much, and don't miss them.
My exciting news is that I AM GOING TO OPRAH!!! An old friend as able to help me score some tickets, and then another friend scored me some more, so I was able to spread the love with some wonderful friends. I can't wait! I will blog about my experience on Wednesday night for sure. Oprah has been a lifelong dream of mine. When the kids were younger and filled out an info page about their Mommy, all three of them listed my favourite show as Oprah! They know their Mommy for sure. Just to near her, will be a dream come true! To say thank you to someone who helped make this come true seems so little. Just know Shannan you rock and so does Jay!
Well, I am off to work out. I keep telling myself that the scale doesn't matter but holy shit does it ever to me. I will go and do it, feel better after, then get to scrubbing the toilets. I think the second half really sucks! Take care and good luck with your healthy lifestyle changes, and for those of you who love Oprah and are going.......WOOHOO!!!

WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE
EVERYONE PLEASE STAND AND CHEER, I LOST 10 POUNDS! FOR SOME THIS IS NO BIG DEAL FOR ME ITS HUGE. IT'S HUGE BECAUSE I WAS GETTING FRUSTRATED. I WORK OUT AND BURN A LOT OF CALORIES AND I FOLLOW MY FOOD DIARY AND YET.....ITS BEEN SLOW. I EAT WITHIN MY CALORIE INTAKE DAILY WITH THE OCCASIONAL STEP OVER. WE EVEN WENT AWAY AND I LOST. I THINK THAT I HAVE RUN INTO AN "ISSUES".
THE ISSUE IS THAT I HAVE BEEN BATTLING A CYST ON MY OVARY. MY TUMMY SWEELS REALLY BADLY AND I AM BLOATED AND VERY SORE. I NOTICED THAT MY WEIGHT WILL GO UP 1-3 POUNDS WHEN I AM OVULATING AND HAVING THIS CYST PAIN. I THINK THAT IT HAS BEEN A FACTOR--OR AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I AM TELLING MYSELF. I CAN SEE A DIFFERENCE IN MY CLOTHES AND IN MY WORK OUTS. I SEE A DIFFERENCE IN NOT ONLY MY STAMINA BUT IN THE TONE AND SHAPE OF MY BODY THANKS TO MY WORK OUTS. BUT THIS CYST THING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR AWHILE AND BECAUSE I AM TRACKING EVERYTHING, THE LAST 2 MONTHS FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS (ONE FOR THE DAMN PERIOD AND ONE FOR THIS CRAP) I AM UP 3 PDS, ON AVERAGE. ANYWAYS, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY GYNO AT THE END OF MARCH AND I AM TOTALLY HOPING THAT THIS STUPID THING GOES AWAY AND GETS DELT WITH. I AM ALSO THINKING THIS WAS WAY TO MUCH INFORMATION. LOL
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE BIGGEST LOSER FOR MANY YEARS AND THEY REALLY ARE INSPIRATIONS TO ME. I USE TO WATCH THE SHOW AND EAT CHIPS NOW I JUST WATCH AND REALLY LISTEN TO THE SHOW. I FIGURE IF THERE ARE WEEKS WHERE THEY ARE LOSING 3 POUNDS AND HAVE BEEN IN THE GYM 4 HOURS A DAY FOR A WEEK, I AM GOOD WITH THE 1 POUND I LOSE HERE. I ALSO WATCHED A SHOW ON TV THE OTHER NIGHT CALLED "MY 600LBD LIFE". SEEING THESE PEOPLE STRUGGLE WAS SAD. I USE TO THINK, WTF IF I WAS THAT BIG I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO LOSE IT. THE "SAD" PART IS I JUST REALIZED HOW QUICK THE WEIGHT CAN GO ON AND HOW SLOW IT CAN BE TO TAKE OFF. I SEE THEM AS HERO'S. GASTRIC BY-PASS IS INSANE. THE IDEA OF NOT BEING PHYSICALLY ABLE TO EAT ANYTHING AND THEN DEALING WITH THE CRAVINGS AND WITHDRAWAL AND ADJUSTING WHAT AND WHEN YOU EAT, HAS TO BE CRAZY ASS HARD. PROPS TO THE PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAVE DONE THIS AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL!
IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH YOUR WEIGHT OR ANY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION JUST KNOW ITS ALL GOOD. IT WILL WORK OUT. TRY AGAIN, TRY HARDER, LEAN ON A FRIEND, OR HUBBY/WIFE. EVEN OUR KIDS ARE GREAT MOTIVATORS. I LOVE WHEN MINE ARE CHEERING ME ON WHILE I PLAY THE Wii, OR RUN ON THE TREADMILL.
AT THE END OF THE DAY I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY AND REALIZE THAT I WILL REACH MY GOAL AND IF IT TAKES MORE TIME I WILL HAVE TO BE COOL WITH THAT. YOU SHOULD BE TOO. HAVE A HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND LOVED FILL REST OF DAY.

THE SCALE
Ok, so I have been working out, eating better, and loving myfitnesspal.com. I have had success, I have lost 8 pounds. I am so excited, BUT I want it to be more. I somehow feel that it should be more. I hate the 1/2 pd here, etc. I know I should be happy, and I know I said that I did not care what the scale said but I find I am becoming a slave to the scale every Wednesday which I did not want. I am so frustrated. I find that dealing with the fun woman stuff screws me up. I am either on my period, getting my period or just flat out bloated. Men, do not have these issues and it sucks! However, on a high note my husband has lost 20 pounds. He has been following the myfitnesspal.com since August 2012. He started a more regular exercise routine closer to September and October. He did not input everything over the holiday season and still lost 10 pounds. The second 10 pounds have come off since Feb 2,2013 when we started together. I am very proud of him, but I will admit I am jealous too! I am jealous cause he does not whine and dine like me! He does not get frustrated as much or sad. Again, I think that is the whole women being mentally screwed up with weight issues! He has really taken to Spinning. He burns a shit load of calories while I dance, work out or do the treadmill. I promised myself I would try the spin bike again in another couple of months hoping it won't hurt my arse and girly parts! LOL I do recommend "My fitness Coach" by the Wii. It is a great program. You have to input your weight, measurements, and goals. It comes up with a program that incorporates some home gym equipment if you have it. It asks if you have a step, a balance ball, or free weights. I have all of them so my workouts use them. I love it. I say try it! Let me know if you will like it.
Anyways, I just wanted to see how everyone else was doing with their new years resolutions. If its not a healthy living/weight lose program, what is it and are you still trying to do it? Thanks for listening!

The old New Year's Resolution -- be Healthy
Ok, so like everyone else in the world, this is the year! This is the year, I lose weight, eat healthy, and work out everyday! I swear to God, this will be the damn year! I am 41 and hate the fact that I have wasted every new year with the same damn resolution. I hate the fact that I have wasted so much of my life on my body. I hate the fact that I use to hide, be totally self conscious and get really sad about the size of my ass. Now, I honestly just don't give a shit! I want to be healthy. That is all. I don't give a rats ass about the scale, or numbers over all. That being said I am weighing myself once a week. Why? You may ask would I do that??? I am not a total hypocrite. I am weighing myself to help monitor my health, at least that is what I keep yelling at the damn thing!
I am using this FREE and most fantastic app called www.myfitnesspal.com, to help me track my calories. I love it! There is anything you can think of on and in it. They even have Broadway Bar and Grill breakfast listed! I find it easy to input my food, and to be honest it is making me really think before I stuff anything into my hole. I started on Jan 2, 2013 and I have lost 7 pds. Not bad, of course I think it should be 20 lbs but really what the hell do I know! I am exercising which is what is really important. I am by no means running a marathon, but I am addicted to the X-Box "Just dance 4" and the Wii "Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2010". I run on my treadmill as well. I am trying to get my children involved more and participate in the "workouts" with me. I have noticed my older and very cool 12 year gets right pissy when her Mama kicks her ass at "Just Dance 4"! Hey whatever it takes to get them off their ass.
Anyways, I have always loved cooking and to be honest every time I cook I input the recipe and the calories and fat etc is always pretty good. I know for me its the portion, snacking and lack of movement which has always been my issue. I want to work on my issues and improve my lack of the above. I tweak my recipes and watch how much I am putting on my plate. For me the big thing is learning to have yummy food, and have a treat, and not completely binge eat. For me a bag of chips, like the big one, is a single serving. NOW, I have had chips in my house, upstairs, untouched for 2 weeks. For me, THAT IS HUGE!
I still hate the damn scale, and the fact that I still think I am a fat sack of fat. BUT, at least I am moving, and trying and at the end of the day, that is all that matters. I have a beautiful husband you loves me, for me. I will let you know how it goes as I go forward. Don't assume that cause I have not said anything my ass has gone back to the sofa, just understand I may not want to talk about my old yet new New Year's Resolution.
FYI: For dessert -- yeah its Friday and I want chocolate and yeah I am PMS'ing I made the most delicious and somewhat low calorie dessert.
S'Mores pudding
1 pack of fat free chocolate pudding
2 cups of 1% mile (or whatever milk you drink)
1 prepared graham cracker crust
1 cup of mini marshmallows.
Prepare the pudding, pour into crust, put in fridge to set.
Just before serving put in the oven, turn on the broil and put it in for 1-2 minutes, or until its toasty.
Serve immediately. This will serve 10-12 people and be approximately 150 calories.
The best part of the dessert, is it reminds me of warm weather and camping!
Enjoy!

It's Been awhile, welcome 2013!
Happy New Year. I know I am like 19 days late and I have not blogged for like ever, but I have been busy making cards over the last couple of weeks. I have decided that I would be organized and make a couple of cards in advance, so that I had them here, and ready for the birthdays over the year. We have a busy January for birthday's in our family so I have completed them and made extras. The plan is to do make some cards at the beginning of very month. I bought a new cartridge as well and its adorable! We camp so I thought I would be using it for that for scrapbooking but......I made cards with it first! It is called "Campin' Critters". You can check it out www.cricut.com. They have a couple of great ideas on their "idea" section as well. I also love using the "Create a Critter" as well and you will notice lots of cards using this cartridge.
Anyways, check out the cards. Most of the paper is CM but some is not. I love the Creative Memories glue pen. http://ca.mycmsite.com/sites/soniapavone/Content/Shop/Product.aspx?pr=InspectOffering&s=630185&dpr=BrowseCategory&ds=/Hierarchy/Paper%20Scrapbooking/Tools/Photo%20Mounting It works for all the little tiny jobs better than anything else I have found!!! Be sure to let me know if you want to purchase it, or you can order online through my website.
Let me know what you think and be sure to add some of your cards to share your talent and wonderful ideas!
I promise to be on this more regularly and add more photos than last year. I still worry about mistakes and grammar probably more than I should but hell its about the scrap/card/shit I have to say ;)
Enjoy!
