Weigh-In Wednesday

Surprisingly, saw some progress this week! With no exercise! 

Minus 0.8 lbs  (10.1 total)

I know it won't happen every week, so I'm getting back into exercising. I just put on my workout clothes and will be running on my treadmill as soon as I'm done posting this. 

I'm really enjoying my time off even though I had two dentist appointments already. One was for a cleaning (so painful!!) and the other was for a consultation to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed. I'm going to have them taken out in two weeks and they're going to have to put me to sleep during the surgery. I'm really nervous because I've never been put to sleep or had any kind of surgery. Yikes!

It's already 1:30pm and all I've done is watch movies, but I still need to run, do laundry, and go grocery shopping. I need a real vacation where I don't have to do anything! 

Weigh-In Wednesday.... I mean Thursday!

Missed my weigh in yesterday, so now this week it's Weigh-In Thursday!

MINUS 0.2 lbs (9.3 total)

Not much of a weight loss this week, but I'm so surprised I didn't gain any considering what I ate on the weekend and not exercising. I think by eating good during the week, my metabolism is getting better. 

Silly me got sick again. That's what happens when you work around kids a lot. I'm actually home sick from work right now. Missing out on the green stuff that pays the bills, be I need to rest. And I have a presentation tonight at school, so I'm going to be all sniffly and coughing during that, which is just awesomeness :(

The good news is that next week is my Spring Break and I'm going camping on the weekend!! I also have a whole month off from my practicum, so it's like a mini summer vacation, except that I will be working 2 days a week, but I can handle that!

Weigh-In Wednesday

This has been a busy tiring week for me, so it's going to be a short post. When I got off work the last two days, I crashed on the couch for the rest of the night. It's 7:30pm and I literally just now remembered I have a paper due tomorrow! It's only 3-4 pages, but my head hurts and I'm not really feeling like doing homework. But that is the price you pay when you are an official procrastinator, and believe me I am a long time member. 

Anyway, on to the weigh-in results:

Minus 1.2 (-9.1 total)

This is pretty surprising since I ate out a few times and have not exercised at all this week. 

Hope you all are having a better week than me. I can almost see Friday! It's so close :)

Take care all. 

Weigh-In Wednesday & Instagram App

I should have weighed myself before eating breakfast :)

Plus 1.2 pounds (-7.9 total)

After reading Elsie's and Janette's post about their iphone camera apps, I was inspired to to download Instagram (free!) and play with a few old photos I had I my iphone. Made me realize I need more pictures of me!

What are your favorite iphone apps? Which ones do you use the most? Have a great Wednesday!

Weigh-In Wednesday

I skipped last weeks weigh-in so hopefully I'll see some results this week. 

Weigh-In:

Minus 4.1 pounds! (9.1 total)

woohoo!

Look what I got in the mail last week! The vintage necklace I won in a giveaway at She Wears Crazy Well. She also sent me a Valentine and a cute pencil! She's such a sweetie, go check out her awesomeness!

Look at pretty little Lia sitting so lady like. She's the one who had a toe removed. The foot is all healed and she's not in pain anymore :)

And this silly goose is Evie. She had that huge bed to lay in, but she chose to snuggle up in the tiny dog bed that we bought for Lia when we first got her. 

I love my doggies!

Weigh-In, Pumpkin Muffins, & Mini House Tour

Had the day off today so I did some baking and cleaning. These pumpkin muffins turned out delicious!

Weigh-In

Lost: 0 pounds

At least I didn't gain any!

My husband I are very lucky in that we get a lot of free furniture from friends and family. The only pieces of furniture we bought in the 4 1/2 years we've been together are two couches. Not only has most of our furniture been free, a lot of it is antiques, score!!

We got this dresser from his parents. They said it was probably made in the 1930's. Look at the awesome vintage paper I found in one of the drawers. I want to make something with it!

This is a dry sink that we got from my husband's grandmother when she passed. I'm not sure how old it is, but they used it before their plumbing.

This is another piece from my husband's grandmother. 

The flag is my husband's grandfathers for his service.

My grandma gave me this piece. It's supposed to a kitchen cabinet, but I put it on my nightstand to give me some extra storage. I love the vintage flowers on it.

We keep things simple at our house. We're not too picky, which is important if you want to have free furniture. Our house does have a country feel to it. Lot's of brown and red. It's not what I pictured my house to look like, but I like it!

Weigh-In Wednesday

It's my second week of Weigh-In Wednesday that I'm doing with Heidi. It's been a busy week, so I haven't been able to exercise as much as I wanted to. I've been trying to eat better, but life-long habits are hard to break. Especially when you're an emotional eater like me. I think that's one of the hardest things I'm trying to change about myself. I'm doing better though. This morning I woke up early to run on the treadmill and instead of going out to eat, since the husband was out fishing, I made myself dinner. I think it's the little decisions that help make the big changes.

Weigh-In Results:


- 1 pound (5 total)

Have you ever done a diet or weight loss plan? What were your strategies? Did they work? I love your comments!

Weigh In Wednesday & Thrift Store Finds

I'm joining Grin & Bear It for her weekly Weigh-In Wednesday. We both have similar weight loss goals and I want to give her my support. As some of you may have read here, I've started counting calories using a helpful iPhone app, and exercising 4-5 times a week.

 I started my weight loss journey on January 29th. Here is my first weigh-in since that day:

- 4 pounds

Woohoo! It makes me feel so good to see all my hard work show in the scale. 

Now for some lovely thrift store finds from Monday's shopping trip. 

This vintage glass is so cute! With different animals on it. 

A whale!

And a Liberty Eagle! I love it!

Of course I couldn't pass these books up. A botany book from 1884 and two architecture books from 1939 and 1947. 

Happy Wednesday! The week is half over yay!
