2nd down and 90


Okay, okay. I know, they don't have to cover 90 yards to get a down....but that's not really yards I'm talking about, it's pounds. I have lost another 2 pounds this week! I had a lapse a couple of weeks ago, but I hopped back on the wagon last week and got more focused on my weight loss goals.

Hubs has been doing my weight training (which isn't much yet, believe me) and I've been walking three times a week, which needs to be six, but oh well. I've once again cut out sugar and am trying to eat low carb/low fat. I say "trying" because with three kids under the age of 10 and a husband, it's not easy, as any other woman who's on a diet knows. "Mom...can we puh-LEASE have those cookies?" "Honey...where's the garlic bread to go with the veggie lasagna?" Sigh.

One day at a time, K. One day at a time. Breathe in. Breathe out. Focus. You ARE doing it!
How's it going for you? Let me know you stopped by in the comments!

Saw a compelling segment on cutting out sugar. It's a smart move. I may have to work toward that. Great job on the two pounds! Have a good week!

Congrats! I really need to jump on the wagon myself! I want to work more towards being healthier! A friend of mine has lost a LOT of weight simply by eating more meals of smaller portions. She had to go this way because her job requires her to sit most of the day. My problem is that I dont eat much during the day and then we eat dinner around 7:00. By that time, I am starving and overeat.

All good things come in Threes - a giveaway!

***If you're here via Bloggy Giveaways - please go to item #3 - that's the giveaway!*** Mondays are good days for announcing things, don't you think? It's long been known that I'm a maker of lists and enjoy the pleasure of accomplishing tasks and marking them off of said lists, if for nothing else than just the satisfaction of seeing something was actually completed. 1. My brand-spanking new Design Blog is finished. I am so excited about it - I coded it myself (which explains why some of you who have MSIE6 and FF2.0 will have viewing issues - working on the bugs still). You can visit it if you like, or not. I still have some work to do on it and there are still a few pages that are either buggy or not complete, but honestly? I just wanted to get it out there so I could announce part two of my list. 2. My order pad is open for business. Yay! I already have a wait-list of five people, but I will accept new clients as well - please go to my new Design Blog for the ne...

Biggest Bloggy Giveaway Carnival Ever - get ya some!

Image
It's finally here - the latest edition of Bloggy Giveaways. For information on how the carnival works, check here -- in a nutshell, lots of bloggers are having giveaways on their blogs and all you have to do is comment for a chance to win. This is my very first-ever and I'm so excited, because I actually have one of these necklaces myself, so if you win, we can pretend to be bbff (bloggy best friends forever). This is a 14K gold cherub pendant worth $125! I purchased two of them about a year ago with the thought that I would eventually give one of them away, so I guess I was waiting for such an occasion as this. And just in time for Valentine's Day. You can keep it for yourself, or give it away -- you decide. Heck, I'm feeling generous -- I'll even throw in the silk and velvet bag it's pictured on. :) It's quite dainty, measuring about 16 inches total length. How to win: 1. To enter, just leave me a comment. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter, but you ...
