Wordless Wednesday

Gotta love auto correct. I couldn't stop laughing!

Weigh-In!

This week has been crazy hectic.  It was the last week of our summer program at work, bittersweet! I'm going to miss my little preschoolers who are heading to Kindergarten next week. Dad had surgery to remove his left b big toe this week and so far so good with that.  He was instructed to stay off of the foot and ice it all the time, but of course he can't sit still for more than 30 minutes.

I was a little worried about weighing in today.  My exercise has been good, not great but good.  I am still having a very hard time finding a food balance though! It is definitely a work in progress. I was pleasantly surprised when the scale said 304.6 this morning!! Down 3.2 pounds! I'll take it!

Papa and his grandbabies

In honor of my daddy, who is having to have his toe amputated in the morning! Please keeps us in your thoughts!

First Official Weigh-In

So Sundays are going to be my weigh-in days, starting with today! On the first Sunday of every month I will also update my inches on the progress page.

Today's weigh-in: 307.8

Boo. This means I have gained 10lbs since May. NO GOOD. Today, I am saying goodbye to that number forever!

Happy Weekend!!

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend! I just wanted to write a quick post, and then I will be back on Sunday for official weigh in!! I finally bought a scale and so far it seems to be accurate within .2! I hope it stays that way. I tried to take everyone's advice and get a weight watchers scale but of course my tiny Arkansas Target only had  1 WW scale, the cheapest one, and it has a 1 star review on the website.  I decided against it and got one from Walmart.

I wrote out a more structured plan for my blog, (I love structure!) and am going to start implementing it starting on Sunday. This first way weigh in is much worse than I thought, and I've been pretty down about it since I stepped onto the darn scale, but hey you have to start somewhere, and this is my somewhere.

My weekend is going to consist of getting a new bed. Woohoo. We are going from a full to a king. I don't think we are going to know what to do with ourselves! Other than that, LOTS of cleaning. I got a jump start on my list tonight and got a lot done with the help of the hubby. Having a clean house just seems to make me feel better!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Scale HELP!

What kind of scale does everyone use?? I really need a new scale for the house. I got rid of my old one because every time I stood on it it would have a completely different number anywhere from 1-10lbs off.  I know there will always be a SLIGHT error but I want a scale that will be accurate most of the time.

I just got a treadmill and other workout equipment so I won't be at the gym as much to use their scales!

Any ideas?

The idea is to connect with other awesome bloggers so take a moment to post your own FMM post and comment on a couple of other posts. Now it’s time for this week’s topic!

1. Do you like to shop? Yes, and no.  It really depends on what I am shopping for.  I like to go out and get new clothes, but not all the time.  I HATE grocery shopping. H..A...T...E. I don't know why, I just do! lol

2. How often do you wear makeup? I used to wear makeup A LOT more than I do now.  I used to be so self conscious about my rosy Irish cheeks and would not leave the house without covering them up with foundation.  Now, I don't really mind.  I work with anywhere from 30-50 preschoolers every day and there is no point in getting all dolled up for them! It would be off in about an hour, especially with temps way about 100 right now!

3. How do you feel about nail polish? I love nail polish and always have to have my toenails painted! I can never get it to stay on very long on my nails so I am constantly repainting them!

4. Do you consider yourself to be a feminist? Eh, Kinda.  I wouldn't say feminist exactly.  I'm definitely independent and believe women can do anything men can do. Girl power!

5. What’s your biggest challenge as a woman? I would probably have to say dealing with insecurities. It's a constant battle.

6. Do you wear skirts and dresses? I used to be such a tom boy and never wore dresses.  Now, I have TONS.  I love wearing dresses.  I only own a couple of skirts though.

7. How do you feel about high heels? Thumbs down!! Flats all the way! lol

8. Do you subscribe to magazines? If so, which ones? Nope, I am not currently!

9. Do you shave your legs/wax/ use depilatory creams or go au naturale?  I shave and use nair. I get my eyebrows waxed, I am a big baby and can't stand tweezing them!

10. What do you like most about being a woman? I This one is hard! Despite the fact that we have to deal with PMS, hormones, and painful child birth, I LOVE being a woman. :)  I love to feel feminine and sexy, it's empowering!
