Weigh In Wednesday!

Alrighty, so I definitely did NOT see myself sharing my weight loss with anyone, let alone the whole damn internet! But I want to use blogging as a way to keep myself accountable. I always love a good weight loss blog. So inspiring! Well here I am, attempting to do the same.

Let me start off by saying, I am NOT perfect. I know this. I do not need anyone to come on here and tell me what I'm eating is A.Processed B.Not good for me C.Not clean eating, etc.

 For now I'm counting my calories, and hitting the gym. Hopefully along the way I can make better choices and cut out a lot of crap from my diet. Let me tell y'all, I love food. Like semi-obsessed. 

Mmm delicious points...

My weakness...hm geez what don't i love lol i love burgers,sushi,and mostly fast food. ALL THE FAST FOOD! :)

and last but certainly not least...

LOTS. OF DR PEPPER.

I love my Dr peppers, I switched to Diet a few years back. Still I know its not the best for me. Merp.

Here I am after marriage and 2 kids, fat and happy. :) My husband is very into his health, he loves eating healthy, exercising. Seriously, i hate it. I wish it came to me as easy as it does him.

Truthfully, I use food to deal with my feelings. Ive done this since I was a teen, since I wasn't old enough to drink I used food to numb my emotions. To this day, I turn to food to soothe myself. It needs to stop!

Every Wednesday I will be blogging:

*My weight loss(or gain lol)

*My workout plan for the week

*Recipes I want to make for the week

THIS WEEK:

EXERCISE:

Mon-2 mile walk at softball practice

Tues-Gym(C25K,Elliptical)

Weds-Gym(C25K,Elliptical)

Thurs-2 mile walk

Fri-Gym(C25K,Elliptical)

Oh and I'm suppose to post my weight huh?

Are you ready for it?

Here it goes...

159.2.

There you have it. I'm 5'1, maybe 5'2. So this is ALOT of weight on a short body.

My goal is 135. I started trying to lose weight 12/24/13. I started at 168.8. I tried doing the HCG diet to get some weight off. That shit is HARD! I only lasted 15 days, but I lost 10.6 lbs in those 15 days. I don't regret trying it because I think it jump started my motivation.

So please follow me as I make 2014 the year I get healthy!

Guess who's back?

Hey everyone! It's been quite awhile, sorry about that! I've been busy going to school (and graduating) for Dental Assistant. So it was tough to keep up with blogging as well as softball tournaments and just keeping up with the house.

Hopefully I can get back to some sort of blogging :)

Here is the last party we had for my youngest Myla.

First of all I'd like to give credit to  sweetrosestudio.com. She had awesome and FREE owl printables, and since money was tight around her birthday I wanted to keep it simple and cheap.

 

 Cute Little banner!

 I wrapped a cardboard 3, in some yarn. And put paper shreds and made a centerpiece.

To keep it cheaper I just got our cake made at the grocery store instead of the cake lady I usually go to.

How cute is the pink owl?!

Mini Cupcakes that match!

I used some tags and yarn, tied them around some mason jars.

Gift bags were from the Dollar Tree, I found these 2 years ago! Finally had a chance to use them.

Well thats it for now, see yall soon!

{Tiffany Blue & Zebra Bridal Shower}

Today I'm sharing the first bridal shower I helped plan.

It was for my sister in law, so we planned something young & fun.

Tiffany Blue & Zebra.

I love Tiffany blue, and the zebra look cute with it!

(Please forgive the crappy pics, my phone was old)

Dessert Table

Veggies

Water bottles wrapped with duck tape, and Tiffany blue sugar on the rims of the glasses.

 We served a Moscato Punch, that had raspberries and sprite in it. Sooo good!

Painted Terra Cotta Pots with mini loofahs & body wash 

Game Prizes

Towel Cake & Bridal shower favors

Favors

For the favors I bought mini candles from Bath & Body Works.

I used little gift bags from hobby lobby. Put a label with a "B" for Britani.

Then stuffed a little tissue paper in.

Tiffany Blue Towel Cake

I saw some towel cakes on pinterest, then recruited my mom to help me figure out how to make one. lol 

We were totally clueless, but with a little (ok a lot) of help from YouTube we got it.

Then we added a few kitchen utensils and a cute sign for the laundry room. I also have this sign hanging right on my laundry room door. You know just to remind him haha.

That's all I have, I really wish I would have taken more/better pictures. Especially the games we played, but i was busy co-hosting and drinking. What can I say, I have a weakness for Moscato ;)

Til next time

{Diaper Cakes}

I've helped my mom with quite a few diaper cakes over the years, but a few days ago I made one SOLO.

I had bought everything, then planned on having my mom come over and help me. Then that night I got that itch to craft some shit.

 

Cute, right?!

Personally I love more "plain" diaper cakes, like this one. Without all the toys and lotions. But everyone is different. I did add some lotion, and body wash to this one. It was a cake for a friend on my FB who wanted to send it to a family member out of state. She told me the mommy to be wanted hot pink and green. I got the baby's initial to put on top, the bows are hair bows (so she can use them as well as the diapers). In the middle was a large and small baby bottle.

I did the diaper cake similar to this one {Here}

I've never had a diaper cake shipped but I used shrink wrap from Hobby Lobby.

I used medium size, but i will use small next time.

After I put the shrink wrap on, that bad boy wasn't moving! 

Here is some of the past diaper I've help put together.

Despicable Me Movie Night

We did this a few months ago, and the kids (and I haha) had fun.

Our Menu:

Minion Meatball Subs

Gru's Garden Salad

Carnival Curly fries

Dr Nefario's Anti Gravity Serum

Robot Cookies

"Its So Fluffy" Cotton Candy

Kids loved dinner!

This is just calypso lemonade Kiwi flavor

Of course Cotton Candy!!!

Wish I could take credit for the menu, but I can't. My best friend Michele came up with it, I'm very lucky to have a friend who shares the same love for kid movies :)

Next time I plan a movie night I definitely, want to put more time into it. The last two were last minute, but still really cute!

Meal Plan Monday #4

Here we are yet again!

Last week, my daughter turned 10! So we took her to Sea world, and had a blast. I have never had that much fun at Sea world, maybe it was sharing it with my kids and husband that made it so much better. Whatever it was, I'm glad we have that trip to look back on. Marissa rode her first roller coaster, cried, cried some more. But finally rode it lol.

Gonna keep it short and sweet, I'm working on a diaper cake tonight. ( Been awhile since I've done one, and its the first one I'm doing completely SOLO!) :)

Monday: Taco Bell...lol 

Wasn't what was planned originally. But shit happens.

Tuesday: Cheeseburger & Fry Casserole

Wednesday: Spicy Sausage Skillet

Thursday: Cheesy Chicken, Bacon and Tater Tot Crock Pot Bake 

(anyone else think this is an EXTREMELY long name?! Geez!)

Friday: Fried Rice 

Saturday: Brats in tortillas

Sunday: Pizza

Meal Plan Monday #3

Here it is Monday, once again. BLAH! 

I guess I'm dreading the days going so fast because my bestie, is moving back to Australia the 12th :(

Ughh just typing that makes me sad! The day she leaves is also my hubs birthday, that poor guy lol

With her leaving, I'm trying to spend as much of my time as I can with her. I cant even begin to explain how close we've become in two years. So I'm making these days count! Zoo tomorrow, for a girls day :)

Okay, on to Meal planning.

Monday: Crock pot Chicken Parmesan with green beans and Garlic toast

Tuesday: PIZZA!

Wednesday: Crock pot Pork chops with mashed potatoes and corn

Thursday: Movie Night!

Friday: Breaded Ranch Chicken with Pierogies and broccoli

Sat & Sun: Go Out and leftovers

For the last 3 weeks I've been meal planning, now I do usually plan our meals before shopping. But I always found a excuse to not make dinner that night. Which means food gets wasted or we just don't use it. Since I've been blogging my meal plans, we've been sticking to them. (Money saved!) My next step is to start saving more money with coupons. (Not extreme couponing, don't nobody got time fo dat!) Well I don't anyways lol 

Later,

Meagan
