Was really good last week. Worked out 6/7 days and lost 2 lbs come Saturdays weigh in, woohoo!! Was all walking or treadmill exercise but did over an hour almost every day. Had a lot of healthy dinners as well. Monday was an egg salad sandwich, Tuesday Grilled teriyaki chicken, Wednesday Grilled sirloin steaks, Thursday homemade bean soup and Friday chicken burger.  This week the meals are not all healthy but I will eat smaller portions or eat a healthier option. The weather has finally turned nice so plan on getting out for a few walks today. Be nice to be off the treadmill for a change. Need to also add a few more exercises. Will do some weight exercises, crunches, etc today. Will check in tomorrow!!

April 3rd

Been about two weeks since I posted but did start my new exercise plan this month. Walked with my hubby on Sunday and did the treadmill Monday and Tuesday. Plan on adding more exercises to my plan today. Really determined to lose at least 7 lbs this month, hopefully more. Cut out wine at dinner during the week and will only have very little come the weekend. I know that has been a huge part of my down fall. Made a menu of all healthy dinners this week as well and will post that separately. Plan on checking on daily with my progress.

Been quite some time since I have had a chance to post but will try and get more regular. Christmas was ok. A bit weird not being in our own home but the kids got everything they wanted so that was good. New Years Eve was nice. Went out to eat as a family than Lisa went off to party and Jonathan had friends over. Andrew hung out with the boys in the basement and Keith and I watched a movie. I made lots of snacky food around 10:30 and the boys came up here to hang out till after midnight. Keith went and got Lisa at 2:30 in the morning as she was quite upset. Finally got  to sleep at 3:00.

Have many goals for January and feel I am doing well for the first week. Did the Treadmill 5 days this week mostly for an hour each day and did strength training 3 days. Scale does not seem to be working so will have my first weigh in next week.

December 1st

Been awhile since I have had a chance to update my blog. We are moved into our rental home and had to wait a week before we got tv, internet and phone. Been busy unpacking all the clothes boxes from the fabric place and working on cleaning stuff from our house. Feel like I am finally back to a normal routine and can focus on the holidays!!!

My weekend

Was a pretty quiet weekend! Keith spent most of it working on the house. Scrapping one side down on Saturday and painting it on Sunday. Also did yard work. I just worked on menu, grocery lists, blog stuff and working out! Watched football as well and once again my Cowboys blew it, blech!!! So not looking like its gonna be a good season at all. Also watched Horrible bosses  with Lisa and it was just ok. Thought it would be funnier but didn't do it for me!!

Got my daily kitchen chores done, scrubbed the kitchen floor, cleaned the shower and tub in main bathroom as well as watched the shower curtain. Did my food shopping and only spent $56, which is really low for me. I will go again tomorrow for the 4 day sale items and pick up a few other things I have to clip coupons for. The boys got all 4 AC's taken out of the windows as I think we will finally hit cooler weather for good this weekend. Got lots of free firewood last week so will start building fires this weekend, yay! Here is the big mound of fire wood on my front porch, no other spot for it to keep it dry.

Perfect Sunday

Had a wonderful Sunday. Started with hubby surprising me with a bouquet of roses, cancer awareness bouquet, than we took a long walk together and watched Fast Five after that. It was just a perfect Sunday!! Here are my flowers!!

Spent most of the day baking for my son and his friends. It was one of his best friends birthday (just like a son to me), and they were meeting here to go to the Devil's game. I made homemade chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter brownie bites, both were a big hit. After the boys headed out I went for a walk with hubby than out to have pizza with Keith, Lisa & Andrew. Relaxed with a cup of tea and watched a movie with Keith before heading up to bed. Such a great day and the weather was perfect!

Had a great time with hubby at the street fair in town. Spent about 3 hours and ate lots of yummy food. Watched football and baseball once home, both a disappointment but you win some you lose some, lol. Great day over all.

First day of blogging! Spent the day working on my menu and grocery lists for the week. Got out for a 40 minute walk with Lisa and caught up on shows on the DVR! Watched part of the Yankee game and checked first thing this morning and saw they won the first game, yay!! Go yankees!!
