1) Quit smoking
2) Lose 5 to 10 lbs
3) Pick a venue
4) Organize house


Lets see how this goes... :)

I lost another belt loop. One more to lose and then I'm done losing weight and just worrying about toning. I believe I hit the 20 pound marker, I'm aiming for 10 more, but will be very happy with 5.

I almost bought a scale and decided against it. I'm happy with how my pants fit and my t-shirts. i don't feel like i'm squeezing into anything anymore. i don't need a scale to tell me other wise.

just working on those last few pounds now and then i'll be working for a nice four-pack tummy.

I think I need some Jessie time really bad...

i'm anger and stressed and getting a headach from the angry eyebrows that won't go away.
Must destress, I've been non-stop for awhile now.

I need movies and a warm blanket and to just curl up and not think of much.

wohoo!!!

last night made my first batch of homemade mac and cheese. Kids approved and ate seconds and its good the next day, warmed up or just cold.


and i'm exhausted... back to work...

I'm offically 17 pounds down from where I was in the beginning of July. *happy dance*
13 pounds to go, now I need to start toning while I lose the last 13. :)

This weekend most of the down stairs was cleaned. I'm in the process of removing all of the stains. Almost done, the carpets look and smell so much better. Cleaned up most of the weeds in the yard.
Got a bunch of crap done for the haunted house. Did laundry. Baked a crap load of cupcakes, brownie bites and cheesecake bites.

This coming weekend is going to be busy too.

Stuff at the house.
Wedding Shower
Bachelorette Party
Finishing painting the kitchen
painting the wood work in the house
Finishing cleaning up the back yard
Cleaning the Garage cause winter is close.
and get some shopping done.

Come on Friday...

i got my tooth removed yesterday. they originally was told it was going to take about 30 minutes max, but apparently i have very strong and stubburn teeth. After about an hour they had it out and i was on my way home. I'm so happy they knocked me for this.

Yesteday I pretty much slept the entire day away. I found out I could eat mac and cheese but when i passed out at some point, the dogs thought they should help me finish it. Aren't they sweet.

I'm not allowed to smoke, use a straw, eat anything that i hard/pointy (chips, popcorn and what not), nothing that is too chewy.... So i think i'll live on easy mac for awhile.

I'm on vicodin right now and i can still feel the pain, AND this is suppose to get worse over the next few days.

I want to go home and go back to bed, instead of sitting at my desk. I hate getting my teeth worked on.

Big thank you to Blue for helping me out yesterday, i would have been lost without him and Jim is awesome and helped me as much as possible yesterday, made sure i was comfy and warm and had anything i needed. I love my boyfriend.

The kitchen is offically blue, it looks great i'll have to post photos when I get home. It use to be this baby blue, with royal blue wood work (doorways, window frames, molding) and weird wall paper on the bottom half of the walls.
The wallpaper was removed, the center molding is gone, the royal blue has been covered with primer. All of the wood work will be going white next weekend. And all of the light switches and electrical outlets have been replaced with white covers instead of the cream.

I need some art work for the kitchen.

Also, went school clothes shopping for the kids this weekend. Got everything for under 100 bucks, minus J's soccer cleats which i'm picking up after work today.

Fighting through the mobs of mothers and daughters at every store was an adventure.

ok, back to work...

My boss and I are both on a diet, he's been bouncing on and off diets for the past 2 years. I've been doing about the same. Well about 5 weeks ago he got serious about his dieting and I started mine about 3 weeks ago now.

Today I got the holy crap you can tell you've been losing weight, your face is a lot skinnier. I smiled and said thanks, and then we compared dieting notes, he doesn't like that my diet is working quicker than his.

OO and I've been doing one cheat day on the weekend, that way i get a little bit a grease. This weekend I have Fries for breakfast on the way to J's soccer game and then last night's dinner i had homemade tuna melts, which aren't too made cause i use the toaster oven to melt it all together. So no butter or extra grease.

i lost a belt loop so i'm quite happy with that. There are two left on this belt, but I'll be happy losing one more.

A women at the bar last night told me when she has her next child she wants to have a test tube baby. I thought that was odd and asked her why, she told me she wanted to have a test tube baby so she wouldn't get stretch marks. I asked why she thought having a test tube baby would eliminate stretch marks; she said because you don't carry the baby, it grows in a tube and when its done you just take it out and you have a baby.
*insert blank stare*

this lady is in her late 30's and has a 17 year old daughter.
Why are people so stupid?

I tried explaining to her what a test tube baby was and she wanted nothing to do with it. *slams head* and these are the people I depend on to make money while bartending.

So I started a bunch of projects at home.
I sanded down all of the wood work in the house. The hand rails for the stairs have had most of the paint removed and sanded down (a little bit left to do). The wall paper in the kitchen is gone along with the molding.
We're getting ready to repaint the house, room by room. The kids rooms are going to be repainted, the bathroom, the hallway, and the living room. I'm looking into prices to remove the carpet in the dining room and the area by the front door and installing wood.
So, we got a good jump on everything this weekend. Hopefully we'll get to paint next sunday. *crosses fingers*

Any suggestions on colors for the kitchen, we have sky blue in there right now, I'm leaning towards a gray-ish blue. All of our appliances are white and black, the cabinets are light brown.

Quite content with life.

Looking forward to lots of new and wonderful things in the next year.

*bounce bounce bounce*

can't get to excited yet though.... attempting to wait.

selfish whore.

I have the best boyfriend in the world.
What other guy will stop having fun to make sure your ok and to give you a foot massage :D

Also.... my treadmill will be in by Friday, another point for stormcore 

ok back to work.

This week is almost done.
*happy dance*

i got J an awesome birthday card... can't wait to give it to him!

we're going camping this weekend! can't wait!

hoping this week goes by fast.

i need to buy new shoes before my feet start hurting worse than this.

i need a new pair of sandals, mine have cut my toe open.

Yesterday: Calorie count was about 400, I wasn't hungry at all through out the day, ate lots of veges and not doing too bad.
I'm also warming up to egg whites, BUT I do miss my eggs over easy with wheat toast.

so update: feel good... less bloated... slightly more awake (but that could be the coffee)...
hopefully tomorrow I'll have a slightly smaller belly :)

So here goes day one of my five day cleansing diet. Hopefully this helps out a little bit.

no salt, no sugar, super low carb diet till Friday night.
