SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I didn't make any New Years Resolutions.
• My Only "Vow" to myself is to be better at being healthy in 2014. 
• We've been gone for over a week....and our house is a mess....
• Today is our last day off work and we have to clean, put clothes away and grocery shop....Happy New Years to us!
• I made an order online at Kohls before we left for FL anticipating it to be delivered to FL....well, it was delivered to our house, and it's all summer clothes. AWESOME!
• Today will be full of me cleaning and organizing and grocery shopping while Hubs watching the Winter Classic on TV....Yay! #sarcasmfont
• I have a mini heart attack every time Chloe undresses her new princess barbies.....GAH! OCD in me wants to glue every single little piece on every one of them.

I think that's it for me this week...must get up and shower so I can get all this cleaning and shopping done today. Head on over to Shannon's page and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week.

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• We went to our friends house for NYE and stayed out until about 10:00 and Andy stayed in the backseat with Chloe to keep her awake on the 4 minute drive home....lol! She was up watching MMCH until about 11pm!
• I feel like I need a vacation from my 11 day home-cation....but isn't that how it always goes?
• New Year to me means that I'm going to start major coupon clipping, trying to save more and plan grocery trips better.
• I let myself go over this holiday season. I'm not sure how much weight I've gained, and I don't really want to know. But starting today, I'm getting back on the MFP wagon, and I'm hoping that by next week, I'll weight in around what I was before the holidays.
• Chloe had a meltdown over her friends having Harmonica's and she couldn't use them, so we bought her one....oh lord help us!
• I'm so glad Football season is over.....SOOOOO glad!
• Chloe conked out before 8 last night! Going to bed at 11 the night before, and no nap yesterday....she was DONE!
• My New Years Resolution is simple.....but oh so hard for me to do....drink more WATER!

Now, hop on over to Life After I "Dew" and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to!

On The Weight Loss Track...or not

First Saturday post in awhile.


So, if you remember...the last time I blogged about my weight loss, I was almost 10 lbs down. If you don't, you can read it here. Well, I hit a rut after that. With the holidays and such, I haven't really been keeping track of the calories, or anything that goes into my mouth, for that matter. So....I think it's safe to say that with the Holidays over, and the new year coming up tomorrow, it's time to get serious about it. I NEED to get this last 10 or so lbs off my ass, and I need to do it like YESterday! So that's it. After this weekend, It's ON, Like Donkey Kong baby! We're doing it. And I'm going to make Husband do it with me. I might even get on the treadmill in the garage. As much as I know I probably won't, I'll TRY....and try, and try. But I think that if I can just stick to watching what I eat and counting my calories, I'll do just fine. I did fine with that before. And maybe hit the treadmill when I go over my calories. That's what I used to do when it was warmer and not as horrible to get on my treadmill that we have in our garage due to our small ass house and no where else to put it.
I've been trying to tell Husband to download the MFP to his phone, but he hasn't done it yet. I think he might think that it's for chicks. But I've tried to tell him...he just thinks that he can count in his head. Um, trust me dude, it's SOOOO much easier to just have it in your phone and let the phone do the work. I don't think I could have done what I've already done without MFP. It's just the most amazing thing since sliced bread, to me. I love it!
So, with that being said. My New Years resolution this year is to get the rest of my weight off. I've already started back on the counting the calories track. And it's been going good so far. I've been under calories, or just over the past couple of days. So for me, that's good. I'm going to weight myself today and see where I'm at after all the holiday eating....and that's going to be it. After that the number better just keep going down. 
Since I've been on this cooking road. I've been doing really good about cooking at least 2-3 nights a week. So, what I'm going to start doing is try to cook more healthier foods. And I'm also going to try and get the Husband on track too. Because as we all know, it's a lot easier to do something like this when you have a partner helping you and coaching you and actually getting results right along with you. So that's going to be our thing. And as I've already mentioned....my goal is to meet my goal by my birthday. And that will be March 5th. That day, I BETTER weigh in at 120 or below! I won't accept anything but.
So, here it is. In black and white. You have my word. From this day forward, I am on the fast track to losing this weight. And come March, I'll be posting a blog just like Shannon Dew did the day that she met her goal...you can read about that here. She is truly my inspiration! And I totally expect you girls to be my motivators!! If anybody has My Fitness Pal, I'd like to get some more friends on there...I'll need all the motivation I can get! My name on MFP is crystalseed. Find me, Please!
Thanks for reading this year! Looking forward to a great (and skinnier) 2012!!


P.S. I don't have a good "fat" picture of myself to post for you to see what I'm trying to accomplish here...I guess I've just been really good about either not taking pictures, or hiding the gross parts when I'm in the pictures. LOL! But I will leave you with this....here I am at 4 weeks pregnant with Chloe. This was at my very lowest weight. 120 lbs!! This is what I want to look like when all is said and done!
