A Good Week

This week had some mishaps, successes, and tantrums in the getting healthy aspect of my life. We'll start off with the bumps in the road and end with the successes.


Mishaps:
* Didn't drink water each day
* Had a chocolate revolution on Wednesday. Ate chocolate all day. I craved it. It was pure madness
*Had a chip explosion on Friday. Two bags of chips in one day. Why, yes. Yes, I did.

Tantrums:
*Very moody and grumpy because I wanted a Dr. Pepper and hadn't had one in a few days. (Note to Self: Apologize to The Husband)

Successes:
*Drank more water than I have in a long time.
*One day of exercise is better than no days of exercise in a week.
*Realized that it is okay to drink that Dr. Pepper if it makes me a nice person. Food will not control my mood. (Note to Self: Make a plaque/wall hanging/bumper sticker/etc. that says "Food will not control my mood.)
*Lost 3.2 lbs!!!

Here We Go Again.

Yep, I fell off the weight loss wagon again. I say it everytime, but this cycle will end this time.  

This. Is. It. I guess putting it in bold, large letters makes it official.

I am going to lose weight and be healthy.

I thought this blog would be my journal, but that hasn't worked out well. So, tonight I bought an actual journal. I'm going to start out small and just journal whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like.

And, yes, I am going to do it....I am going to post my current weight....

192.2


I hate that number.

Another Giveaway

So, I really am wanting an ATG gun for my scrapbooking. That's why I was excited to find this giveaway at Scrapping Mommy! Head over there to check out her awesome three giveaways and enter for a chance to win some great blogcandy!!

Altered Goodie Boxes

I altered these boxes for the two new teacher's at the school that I work. My local Homemaker's group adopted the new teachers and have helped them out with supplies and things for this year. The fourth side of the boxes (that I did not take a picture of) have their names.

They were very easy to make. I used Provo Craft vinyl and the LockerTalk cartride.

Scissors, glue, crayon, and test tubes were cut at 2.5 inches.

Pencil was cut at 1.5 inches.

It's CRAFT-TASTIC!!!

Enjoy.

What I Did Last Year

I am almost too embarrassed to post this, but here goes.....

These are the only pages I scrapbooked last year. Easter. That's it. I just got busy, and then ended up doing other crafts with my cricut. I want to get back to scrapbooking because The Boy looks at these pages over and over. He loves talking about the pictures and naming the people on the pages.

So, I started thinking. Why don't I scrapbook more? I've come to two conclusions.

1) I don't print my pictures!! I have tons of pictures on my hard drive that I never print. I've even got them organized by month/year. Why don't I print them? I have no idea.

2) My craft room is a mess!! Who wants to be creative in a mess? That room is the catch all room. Everybody has one. Mine just happens to be the craft room.

This year, I'll do better. I just need to decide where to start. Do I go back and start with The Boy's baby album? Do I start with this year and do past pages as I get time? I just don't know!

Looks like I have some decisions to make.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures. They aren't the best, but you can still see the pages.

Just realized that I did not journal on any of these pages!!!

Holiday Craps

First of all, I should explain the title of this post. No, I will not be posting about Holiday Poo (deep sigh of relief) or gambling.

I have a friend and her little boy is the same age as The Boy. We met on the What to Expect Message board while we were pregnant and have kept in touch. Her little boy calls crafts "craps." Or used to. Anyway. Holiday Craps stuck and anytime I doing crafts with The Boy, well......it HAS to be referred to as "craps."

This is the pumpkin that The Boy decorated for fall. He painted it all himself and even dumped the glitter. Yes, I am a brave woman.
