So What Wednesday!

Today I am linking up with Shannon at "L.A.I.D" for another round of So What Wednesday!

This week I am saying SO WHAT! to:

• If my scale is a piece of crap and gives me different numbers each time I step on! I mean literally, you can put it in one spot, make sure it is completely level, and step on and get a number, step off and let it clear itself, and step right back on and get a 5lb difference! I seriously want to throw it across the room!

• I have to wait until tomorrow to do my Weighing In Wednesday since I am not at work today and don't have a scale I can trust!

• Lately I have been obsessing over money and losing weight. I am hoping that all this worrying will mean that one day I will be rich and skinny! Sounds good to me!

• I decided to be crafty and make Hailey's Valentine's this year. For starters, it took forever to cut, trace, emboss, glue, tie, and stamp those bad boys together! Then I was sitting with her Monday night as we were working on them and noticed the note said they were due in yesterday! No chance of that happening! Luckily I emailed the teacher and it was fine. They came out cute, so I guess all the hard work was worth it! (But believe me, a box of them from the store would of been so much easier!

• I still haven't made it to the gym because....well....umm....yup, I have no excuse, but SO WHAT! :)

I think this is therapeutic! See you next week!

Please Be Right Horoscope!

Taurus Feb 11 2013

Slowly, Taurus - little by little - you should begin to feel better and better. Even if you've had a frustrating month so far, you will find that the pressure eases up, and that things start going your way without much of an effort. Allow yourself to relax as this happens. Don't be apprehensive, and don't allow yourself to wonder if this is just a tease, or if this is the calm before the storm. It's understandable that you might feel that way, but there's no reason to worry. Things really are looking up.

There has been a lot on my mind that I've been worrying about lately and I was beginning to think February was just not going to be my month. Hopefully today's horoscope is right and things will start turning out differently!  At least its some thing to hope for! :)

Fab Fridays! Celebrating the Good!

 

I will be honest, I have been in a crummy mood for most of this week, just really anxious and letting people get to me. It has taken everything to be nice and not let it show! So I am welcoming this link up to think of all the fabulous things going on, and hopefully boost my mood! I mean, it's Friday what's better then that!

 

I think it is fabulous that Hailey has been in school for over 100 days and I was able to go in a help out a couple hours during her 100th day! She was so excited about the 100th day! They made a 100th day snack with 100 items in it, a special 100th day hat with 100 stamps! They made fruit loop necklaces with 100 pieces on them! It was a lot of fun helping the kids make all the stuff. I wish I could volunteer more often in her classroom!

 

I think it fabulous Valentine's day is next week! Kenny and I aren't doing anything special for it or anything. In fact we both will work, so we won't even see each other. But I am excited to spend it with Hailey. I got her a couple cute little things and I thought I might take her out to get something to eat. I also know she will have a party at school so I am sure she will be really excited about that!

 

I think it is fabulous that her school is doing "One School Community, One Book". Everyone in the school was issued a brand new book called "The World According to Humphrey". Each night we are assigned a chapter to read. And when I say "we", that means everyone in the school. The janitors, the lady's in the cafeteria, the bus drivers, the whole school community all reads a chapter a night (well they are supposed to). Then the kids do stuff during the day with the stuff they read the night before. They are also having trivia, so the class who wins daily gets a visit from "Humphrey" for the day. Humphrey is a Zhu Zhu pet, which Hailey has a ton of, BUT every night she talks about how badly she wants Humphrey to come to class. It's a really cute book and a great idea!

 

I think it's fabulous that I don't have much going on this weekend! Hailey and I are going to work on her Valentines. I drew something up on the computer to cut out and got all the card stock a couple weeks ago. I have just been waiting for the time to cut and glue everything all together. I hope it turns out as good as I see it in my head! And I told myself I wouldn't spend more then $5 on Valentines, so after buying the paper, I had just enough money to buy Valentine's bubbles from Michael's Craft Store that I am going to attach some way!

 

I think it's fabulous that I am so excited for next weekend! Friday we are having a couple's dinner with some awesome friends! We are even getting fancy with the whole meal! And NO KIDS! Wahoo! Then Saturday I am celebrating my bestie's Birthday with a spa treatment! And then Sunday is Disney on Ice with my other bestie and her little girl! I can't wait for Hailey to find out where we are going! I hope she is excited as I am! So one more weekend then my exciting weekend will finally be here!

 

Well, I think that's a great start to thinking about some fabulous things going on! And you know what, I have a smile on my face now, so it worked! I am in a much better mood at the moment!

 

You should try it! What's going on that's Fab to you!

WW: Classy Kitty

So I bought the cat a pretty pink fuzzy bed and instead of laying in that, she likes to hang out in an empty Bud Light box. Silly cat!

 

Weighing In Wednesday- Week 5

It's Wednesday again! As soon as 8am rolled around I was at the Nurse's Station waiting to use the scale! So drum roll please!!!!!

This week's weight loss:

-4.9lbs

 

Total weight loss since Jan. 2, 2013:

-8.6lbs

What worked for me this week:

To be honest I had a medical procedure done at the hospital yesterday so I am sure that's where most my weight loss came from. Monday I had to be on a clear liquid diet and do a complete system flush (if you know what I mean!) so by yesterday I was completely empty of everything! But what worked for me was tracking. I tried to eat salad most days at lunch and measured out my sides when eating dinner.

What didn't work for me:

I never made it to the gym! So that didn't work for me!

A non scale victory for me this past week:

A couple weeks ago I had some lab results come back and it said I was deficient in Vitamin D. I was prescribed a huge dose that I take weekly. To be honest, I can feel a difference! I mean I am still tired, but I have way more energy then I have had in a while. I actually was up by 9:30 both days this past weekend and didn't take any naps! I also do a few more things around the house in the evenings where before it took everything to watch the clock tick to bed time! So feeling more energized is a non scale victory for me!

 

My goals for this week:

Let's try this gym goal one more time! There is no liquid diets or horrible preps this week. It's just a plain normal week! So there is no excuse this time! My goal is to make it to the gym at least once this week!

Fab Fridays!

 

Today I am linking up with Laura at http://theeverydayjoys.com/ for Fab Fridays.

 

I am new to this link up so I thought it would be fun to give it ago and talk about the fab and positive stuff that has gone on today, this week, or even recently!

 

First off, I forgot that the new Scentsy book came out for consultants to view until I saw that Laura talking about it! Ahhhhh I am so excited for the next stuff and to share! I put warmers in most my rooms, but I think I might have to make a couple of them sample warmers for my book parties kit! I can't wait to smell some of the stuff! I like that Scentsy still makes me excited even after two years of selling it!

 

I think its fab that I am half way done with my homework that is due on Sunday! This may not sound like something special, but if you know me, you know that I am the biggest procrastinator and normally don't do the work until I am rushing on Sunday nights! This is week 3 of the classes and I have had everything done and turned in each week before 9pm. This is huge, well at least for me!

 

I think it's fab that I have been doing some stuff around the house. Maybe some minor stuff like sorting through bags of clothes, but hey it's something! I took two big bags to Goodwill and made two trips to Once Upon a Child with some things to sell.

 

I think it's fab that I have been using my calendar and that I can see how big of difference it makes with stress. If I don't write stuff down, then I constantly think about it. I forget to do it or I lose it. So by writing it down, I have slowly checked off my list!

 

I think it's fab that in two weekends I have a full weekend of fun stuff! Ahhhhh I get so excited! There's a couple's dinner night, a spa day with a bestie for her Birthday, and then Disney on Ice! I am making it a surprise for Hailey, so it's killing me knowing how she will react! I can't wait! It's my first time seeing that also!

 

So what fab things do you want to celebrate?!

Friday Letters!

 

Today I am linking up with Ashley for some Friday's Letters

 

Dear Weather, How could I not start off with talking to you? I mean it was snowy on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was almost 70 and then this morning it was like a blizzard out! What are you doing up there?!?

 

Dear Hailey, Thinking about you makes me smile. You have no idea how proud I am of you and how amazed you make me. You are beginning to read and I love that we read together. You work so hard and I can tell!

 

Dear House In MD, I have stressed over you for so long. I wish you would sell already so I can move on with my life. You received a cash offer yesterday, but it was for $50,000 less then asking price, let's just hope that the bank takes it, and then you can get flipped and  look oh so pretty! You were my home for over 5 years. We outgrew you, but it didn't mean that we didn't love you. You will make some happy couple starting out so very happy!

 

Dear Flu, Thank you for leaving, I am much better now!

 

Dear Hubby, How can someone make me so ANGRY at times! Grrrrr! But today is a new day and I love you!

 

Dear Weekend, Wahoo! You are finally here! I have been waiting for you since last Sunday night! Let's go by slow!

 

Dear Self, Just breathe and relax! Let it go! It will be okay!

 

 

What do you want to write to this Friday?
