Housework, Sick Kids, FATNESS & Cute Clothes

I have been a busy little bee around our house this week. Our gorgeous wool rugs were finally delivered and I could start putting the final touches on my front room and living room. Pictures coming next week! With all the picture hanging, furniture moving and decorating going on the rest of the house started to look like crapola, so today I am working on all the everyday cleaning (laundry, dishes, cleaning up, etc.) Where is that fancy cleaning robot from "The Jetson's" when you need her. Oh Rosie... I wish you lived in my closet!!!

**********

The weight loss front in still going strong, I have dropped 20.6 pounds! Although, I am sad to say I am STILL the same pants size. Darn my Norwegian hips that never seem to shrink *grrrrr* Bet you can't guess where the weight loss has happened the most? Yup, you got it... my boobs :(

**********

My mini-munchkin is sick, she has strep throat. Poor thing has been laying around on the couch for 2 days. You'd think I'd enjoy this quarentine at home since I am ALWAYS running around doing things. Nope, this quiet at home all day stuff has me stir crazy. I haven't been to the gym in 3 days, and I am starting to have full on conversations with the dogs. "Well hello Louie, isn't it a pretty day? Wanna help mama fold laundry? You do? Wonderful! Come over here and you can sit on the bed and watch!"

Yeah... I am losing it.

**********

My hubby and I have decided to get on a strict budget (i'm talking Alpo for dinner people!) in an attempt to be 100% debt free and self sufficiant. So due to this change in our finances I went out and bought a new Harley Davidson tank top and a cute little hat to match! What?! If my hubby's gonna ride one I have to look cute standing by it right?

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

au revoir, adieu, ciao, till next time...

Peace & A Whole Lot More

"What do you find peaceful?" Oh that's easy! This:

On the weight loss front I am down to a total of 16.8 pounds! This week I did a TON of strength training (weight lifting) and resistance training (that stretchy band thing). My muscles can sure feel the difference, can't wait till I am strong enough to take down my hubby, ha ha. I tell you what when I reach my goal weight, I am going to have a HUGE blog giveaway to celebrate!

***************

Speaking of giveaways, does anyone have any advice? I have never done one and would really like to. There are so many things I love and I would like to be able to share them with you all :)

***************

We are officially all moved out of our rental house and are 100% in our new home! Now comes the super duper fun part... unpacking all our stuff! NOT. I am procrastinating doing this, but I know I need to get it done. must.find.motivation.somewhere. I am waiting for my new living room and piano room rugs to be delivered then I'll be showing you all a house tour with everything all decorated and fancy! (probably within 2 weeks)


***************

Oh exciting news! My blog is getting a BIG makeover for my 1 year blogiversary, and I shared that makeover with my dear friend Stacey over at Mom Taxi. So check back here and there in a few days and see our stunning new digs :) I hope you all are going to like it, I know I do.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, till next time!

au revoir, adieu, ciao, till next time...

Loser For Sure & Some Random

OK, so week three at Weight Watchers and.... now I've lost a total of 13.8 pounds! I am so shocked, don't know why though because I am working my butt off (literally). Guess I just assumed by large behind was here to stay and to see the pounds coming off is just something I didn't expect!

********************

There are 2 more weeks of school. Most moms are counting down the days till they get to sleep later and just relax. NOT ME. My kids will wake up at the same time no matter what season it is and what in the world am I going to do to keep them busy with all summer so they stay outta my hair????

********************

My hubby has been working a ton and has been driving me nuts. Why is it when they work hard all day they feel the need to come home and be a booty face? And I am honestly not sure if he even knows Mother's Day is coming. We shall see...

********************

I have started making some new friends (in real life, ha ha) out here in Arizona. I am so glad to have some one to wave and smile at when I drop my munchkin off at school. Alone time has been needed after this move, but the time has come to actually hand out with real adults :)

********************

My parents will be here for the weekend. Tomorrow night we will be going out without the kids, just like last time when they were here. I'll post pictures if my mom gets another lap dance, hee hee

********************

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Ta Ta for now

Body Check

Every reach that point where you look down at yourself and say "Ack, what the Hell happened to my body? Who am I? Where did all this fat come from? AHHHHHHHH!!" Well, that was me a few weeks ago. I finally got to where I was mad about my weight and decided to do something about it. (with vengeance I might add)

In 2 weeks of joining Weight Watchers I have lost 9.8 pounds! WOW, I am shocked. All I am doing is eating better, Oh and sweating my butt off in the gym every other day.

My body is so mad at me right now, I think my left arm is about ready to go on strike. Everything hurts, but it's working :) ha ha. The things we go through to look better (be healthy). The gym I joined is called Lifetime Fitness, this place reminds me of Disneyland with work out equipment. It is HUGE and has everything imaginable. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like it because it looked quite intimidating, but now I love it! There's so much room I never feel closed in by all the skinny gorgeous people that regular gyms. (just copy what their doing, it's like a free personal trainer!)


So things are chugging along. I have cut out all fast food. (OK, that's a lie, I had Wendy's last week but at least it was a salad! And I still have to have In-N-Out every once in a while because it really isn't that bad for you, they use all natural oils and have less then half the calories as regular fast food joints)

I am feeling pretty confident that my large behind will actually be normal size again. 9.8 pounds is a good start, I have a long way to go but I can honestly say I am giving it 100% this time :) Any tips or tricks of the trade?
