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!!!
