Non-scale victories
I’m wearin’ some jeans today that I haven’t fit into since September-ish. And they’re straight outta the dryer. :) So that’s nice, since I don’t think I lost any actual poundage this week.
I came straight home from church today and did “Biggest Loser Boot Camp” led by Bob, and some pilates. I thought Bob’s workout was much better than...

I just worked out...
…with Jillian Michaels FO’ FREE! Biggest Loser Power Sculpt on my On Demand cable. I’ve never done a Biggest Loser workout before…it was kinda fun to see the contestants from a couple of seasons ago in the background. ESPECIALLY because I’ve seen their “after” photos and know how awesome they look now! Kept me motivated. :)

1 Month Progress Report
As you all know, at the beginning of the month/year I set some goals for myself. Overall, I wanted to become a better steward of my time, get stuff done and get healthy. So, for accountability purposes, now that it’s almost a NEW month, let’s take a look and see how I did in January.
1. “Become More Productive.” I’m doing better with this. Certainly haven’t...

Ish Shnowing Oushide!
We are getting some heavy duty snow, y’all!! I’m so glad it’s not just the icky, icy, dangerous “wintry mix” we normally get. There was already quite a bit on the ground this morning, and it’s coming down heavy again. L.O.V.E IT!
When it’s snowing like this I don’t wanna do ANYTHING but sit back and watch it fall. It’s absolutely mesmerizing,...

"Love is in the Air"
via 2P’s
I really wish I could achieve this “I just threw some stuff together” look without it LOOKING like I “just threw some stuff together.” This is darling. And funky. And awesome.

Flub
I slipped up a little on my diet yesterday.
I had a really great morning and afternoon…I was super active and ate really well. By the time I got home from my walk with the dogs and got cleaned up it was about 4pm. Originally we had plans with friends for a game night, but they called to cancel. Jeremy woke up a little later and because he was hungry, asked if I wanted to go grab an early...

iMapMyWalk
I got this app for my iPhone and it is totally revolutionizing the way I go on walks! (Do I sound like an infomercial or WHAT? *haha*) Seriously though, it’s awesome. It tracks your route, time, distance and mph. Then you can log into their website and actually SEE where you walked. Here’s where the boys and I went today:
Pretty sweet, eh? I am LOVING this thing, because I’m...

Sunny Wednesday!
Today’s my half-day, so I proudly packed gym clothes so I could go straight there after I got off work. But as I was walking into the gym, I couldn’t help but feel like it was a SIN to be exercising inside on a day like this. Especially with “wintry mix” in the forecast for the next two days. It is utterly gorgeous outside…sunny, warm, a light cool breeze.
So I went...

I need the “Bright Bloom” one, don’tcha think? It would help me be “greener.” I’d be doing it for the environment. I should get it. ;)

Apple Cozy
I used to think these were really cute, but kinda pointless. But after bringing apples to work for the past few weeks, I realize how banged up the poor little things can get. Maybe I DO need to dress them up in “sweaters” before they come to work with me. :)

Fitness Challenge Week 3 Results...
in a TIE?!? How can this be? Well, I only managed to workout 3 times last week and Jeremy didn’t kick it in gear to beat me. *haha*

Scrapbook Cravings
My friend Michelle mentioned that she was looking at the sneak peaks from CHA 2010 (CHA is a major scrapbooking convention where all the big companies release their new lines). It peaked my curiosity and I had to look too. Boy howdy, nothing drags me into a state of “ooooh I wanna scrapbook!” like new stuff. Especially BUYING new stuff, but just looking at it is pretty powerful too. As...

Happy Tails & Smiling Faces
365 Photos - Day 23
I really love taking my dogs for a walk. Not just because it’s good exercise for me (and for them), or because it’s a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather, or because they are always super grateful that I’ve released them from their boring, monotonous existence… It’s mostly because of all the smiles we elicit from folks we pass. Everywhere we...

Hair
I’m trying to decide what I wanna do with my hair at my appointment in a couple of weeks.
Is it a rule that ALL hair websites must be absolute GARBAGE?!? Seriously! The website designs are very amateur, they’re totally bombarded with ads and bogus links…and all the pictures look like they came from either art schools or Glamour Shots. Good grief.
Anyone know of a hair idea...

How Spin class made me forget my iPhone. :(
Last night after my first spin class, I had a yummy & healthy dinner, took a nice hot shower and watched some TV with Jeremy. He kept complaining about how sore he was, but I felt pretty good. Sure, my booty was a little tender, but I could still get up and down stairs without moaning.
Well through the night, the soreness crept up somethin’ awful. Not just below the belt, either. My...

Whoa momma.
My first spin class. Wow, my body was NOT prepared for that. That’s some hardcore stuff!!! But I went because I wanted to be challenged and pushed…and I certainly accomplished that.
But must they make those bikes SO uncomfortable???
