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.

Tea Reading

Tomorrow night I have having a couple of ladies over for a tea reading.  My sweet, crazy and loving Auntie Laura is coming over with her magic tea leaves, all the way from Ireland to read everyone's leaves.  Now for those who have not done anything like this, you have too.  Its fun, interesting, and an excuse to sit and chat with some friends.

My Aunt Laura came to Canada with 4 children and my Uncle many moons ago, but sounds like she just got off the boat.  My Mom often says that people choose to lose their accents or keep them.  Now my Aunt is proud to be Canadian but is just as proud of her Irish heritage.  I have probably learned more about Ireland, and my family from her, than my own Mom.  She started reading tea leaves a long time ago and does it just for fun.  BUT, she does ROCK.  Every time she has read my leaves, everything has been bang on!  I am so excited to hear about what she has to say.  She will always say "Now ladies this is just for fun, don't take anything seriously".  I agree, but still its cool.  So, if you haven't done anything like this, I suggest going to a palm reader, or have your cards read, or see a medium because its better than going to a movie or out for dinner with the girls hands down.  I will let you know how it goes and what is said.

On a different note, I worked a bit on my Mom and Me scrap that is on Sunday.  I made mini paper albums using a 12x12 cardstock.  They are so cute.  I am going to try and "upload" some pics this weekend.  I may need some help from my Techy but I am sure she won't mind.

'Til tomorrow........fingers crossed its all good leaves!

Its Friday!  I am so happy its Friday.  I have had a busy week, and I am not sure why?  I have been out and about almost every night but not really doing anything constructive.  I am feeling a bit overwhelmed today at what I have to do this weekend and for the next three.  I would love to get more stuff done for Croptoberfest, like plan a menu, purchase some new chairs, and a couple more make and takes.  I would love to wash and bring my patio furniture downstairs for the winter as I haven't sat on it in a while.  I would love to cut the lawn and weed my garden.  I would love to dust the bedrooms, change the beds, clean the bathrooms, dust the main floor, vacuum and mop.  This is my list.  I know its alot but I don't have any plans in concrete right now other than soccer Sunday morning.  I also have to go shopping for an outfit.  You see one of my baby cousins is getting married Oct. 13 and I want to look and feel good.  BUT I hate shopping for me.  I love getting the kids stuff, house stuff, really anything but stuff for  me.  My brother said he will come with me and wants to go to the Rideau Centre but the thought of going there just does not excite me.  I think I will push the shopping to the following weekend.  Thanksgiving is coming up and we have another family function that I need to do stuff for but again, not so much the inspired for that either.  To be honest I want to crawl in my bed, watch BONES, which I am totally addicted to, and do nothing.  I am in a bit of a funk I think.  I have no idea why either.  My daycare kids have been rockn', my kids, well they are my kids and they are fine.  I think I need to exercise but I am to lazy to.  So, what should I do?  How can I get all geared up for the weekend, and do what I need to do, and still do nothing?  Got any wonderful ideas you want to share?  I just thought I would ask.  'Til next time, happy scrapping, cooking, cleaning, sleeping......whatever you decide to do.

Blog Alert

I am very excited as I got some help from a fellow blogger  tonight with my blog.  Julie was amazing.  Her blog is http://mommyneedsbalance.blogspot.ca/.  I really enjoy her blog.  She likes to vent, tell you about her life and I always finish the blog read with a smile.

I hope I did post her blog right as she taught me how to do that tonight.  She explained widgets and labels and backgrounds.  After spending some time chatting I also realized that I have to chill out and stop feeling guilty when I am surfing and doing "research" on how to do this stuff.  It is totally important if I am gonna actually run with this.  So, not only did I learn a crap load about this blogging shit I also realized that it is ok to use my time in a different way.  I am sure I will still need to write it in my to-do list I have with me everyday, but at least this way its there and I will do it and not feel like I am ripping my family off of their time.  Wondering how many of you crazy women have To-Do lists?  I get a sense of accomplishment with mine and it keeps me on track but then again I am a little screwed up in the head.

Back to the information Julie taught me.  I learned how to put in pics and movies so yeah that will be coming down the pipes soon as well.  I have taken a bunch of pics of my make and takes and maybe I will give a sorta teaser as to what is happening at Croptoberfest.  Just sayn'

I have also realized people want to know about my cooking cause I totally love to that as well so I am looking forward to adding that to my blog.  Julie explained how to post websites and what I need to do in order for people to click and check out the recipes I found on-line.  I will go and label this now cause I know how....LOL again something else Julie taught me.

It's also 11:15 pm and I have to be awake tomorrow for my daycare kids and my own so I will sign off and go to bed.  Thank you to everyone reading and I am hoping laughing at my craziness, cause I know I would be.
