PostHeaderIcon Back on track FATTIE!

10:57 AM | Posted by Monica
Ok, I have been spiriling out of control with my weight lately, and instead of loosing 10lbs, ive gained it. NOT OK.
So today starts a new motovation.
Aside from just needing to loose weight to be healthy, Steven and I are going on a 5 day Cruise to Mexico in November and I NEED to loose weight for that. I do NOT want to spend a week in mexico wearing moo moo's and coverups!
Im doing weight watchers, well ive been paying for it anyways! So im going to really do it! I would love to take ALLI again cause it really does help a lot, but its soo dang expensive i just cant justify it.

So today I challenge my self. Amanda style- a 21 day challenge! This is going to be sooo hard I know.
NO FAST FOOD. NO STARBUCKS. NO SODA. NO CANDY.
Home cooked meals, frozen weight watchers meals for lunch unless i have leftovers from the night before.
Im also going to crack open my weight watchers cook book.
I challenge my self to use it at least 6 times in the next 21 days. I mean thats only 2 times a week!

PostHeaderIcon Tackle It Tuesday - Jars

7:19 AM | Posted by Monica
I noticed I had been starting quite a collection of these old jars in my garage, and had been trying to figure out just what to do with them. I already have a canister set with the normal stuff in it, But i really wanted to display these in my kitchen somehow. These Jars are very old, Some belonged to Stevens Great Grandma, and some belonged to My Great Grandma
As you can see in the background of this picture, I have a jar that contains Spaghetti DING DING DING! I figured it out, I will fill them with different types of pasta, and pretend im Itialian!
So I went searching in my cubbords for pasta. I only found 2 other types. But it was a start!
But I still had 5 more jars to fill, and well once I started I couldnt possibly sleep till this was accomplished! So I searched some more.....
Filled one with Chompers Treats, For when he is actually good. These will be in here for a while! :)
Always good to have the S.O.S. pads handy- and they kinda match the jar!
And well, Since I happen to have an abundace of Baby snacks around these days I figured that I could use some biter biscuits to fill one up!
And in my small attempts at going green and creating less waste, I invested ( $1 on clearance)in Slicone cupcake wrappers, and they had just come out of the dishwasher and were looking for a home! (there are actually 24 of them in there, you just cant tell cause some of them are stacked together!)
I also have an abundance of this sugar subsitiute hanging around from when they paid me a bunch of money to pass out sugar packets! Man I need to find another cush side job like that again!
Then I had this Beautiful Iced Tea Pitcher that used to belong to my great grandmother, And I also wanted to display this, So I filled it with....
Iced Tea packets!
And there you have it
oops pardon my melons!
Oh and there is Charger our new kitty, Trying to find out why HE doesnt have a treat jar!

PostHeaderIcon getting back on track!

10:22 AM | Posted by Monica
today i got on the scale, and almost fell off. the numbers were lying right? I mean they HAD to be. There is no way,NO WAY i could possibly be back UP to my pre-pegnancy weight right? NO WAY.

Well I am too close for comfort, my clothes are starting not to fit, and well there just isnt room in the budget for larger clothes. UGH. Plus its never fun to shop for a size larger.

So i did it, i broke down and I'm doing the only thing that has ever helped me loose weight (No not getting pregnant, although....that Did work out well. :)

I joined Weight Watchers Online. I found out they offer a discount to kaiser members, so i figured i better take advantage of it.

So here i am, starting my journey at 205. YUCK

My ultimate goal is a big one, But I'm not going to focus on that now. I'm going to set smaller goals and go step by step.

My First goal is to loose 15lbs by Brynn's birthday party. (which I will also post a blog about) that's about 2lbs per week. I can do that!
