TPT (Two Page Tuesday)

Sorry it took me so long to get this up. I had a good friend of mine come over to join in on the fun and it took us a little while to really get started. We did manage to get a few layouts done though and this is one of mine

Flashback Friday

Bowling with the kids. We used to do this on a pretty regular basis. Unfortunately it has been a while. With Steve working nights our weekends are so busy. We just haven't had time. Sad. We are gonna have to do that again soon. Would write more, but I have to leave for work now, so I will be back! :)

Weight Watcher Wednesday

Well, week 2 has come and gone and speaking of gone...I lost another 4.6 lbs this week!!!!!!!!! I am sooo excited!!!!!! So I never touched my allowance points this week. Which in my opinion is great! I kept right at my daily points and I am not bored with the foods yet. I am still eating a lot of soup, but I love soup so it's all good. I also found Healthy Life bread.

It is super yummy and only 1 point for 2 slices!! Load it up with turkey, lettuce and tomato and you have a healthy low point lunch!! I am so glad I don't have to give up things I love! I just have to be smarter about it, and I really feel like I am grabbing onto the concept and running with it. Ok, not actually running, I am way too outta shape for that. It's more walking than anything. Simply parking at the far end of the parking lots, taking the long way through Walmart, walking to the end of the road to get the mail instead of driving there, it is the little things and they all add up. I am excited to see how I do next week. I will keep you posted!

Two Page Tuesday

So I came up with an idea at work today to do a weekly post. I am calling it Two Page Tuesday and the point of it is for me to make 2 new SB pages and post them on Tuesdays...makes sense right?! Well, I figure if I try to make a habit of this I might actually be able to get some pages done. So, here is what I came up with for today! Enjoy!!

I just need to figure out the right place to take the pictures because if I take them on my kitchen table there is a glare on the pictures....hmmm....

Weight Watcher Wednesday

Well I made it through week one of my weight watchers program and I must admit it wasn't quite as bad as I expected. I have had to change my eating habits drasticaly (no more late night candy bar sneaking or wait until the kids are in bed so I don't have to share my ice cream) ((Not that I have EVER done that before or anything))

So I have been doing the Flex plan where I have to count points, but I have actually been careful about what I am eating so there have been a couple days that at the end of the day I had to go grab a small snack to use up my points. The goal is to use them all, so it's all good. I had no idea just how unhealthy the food was I was eating. I mean, I knew it wasn't the best, but WOW! I also realized how much I was over-eating. I started out dinner one night with a little less than half what I would normally have on my plate...and I didn't go back for seconds because the little bit I had actually satisfied me. So no more "stuffed can't move quick unbutton my pants and kick my feet back" feelings

The best part of all....I LOST 3.2 LBS!!!!

Girls Scout Camp fun!!

color challenge #23

So I found this really cool blog and she does color challenges. She posts a set of colors and you are supposed to design something like a card or SB page using those colors. So this challenge is fall colors and I have a few ideas running through my head, so I am gonna see what I can come up with. These are the colors:

Ok, so here is one idea, but I am not sure I like it. Sierra loves it so I guess it can't be all that bad

This isn't the best picture, but I used So Happy and Artfully Asian stamp sets with Chocolate Chip cardstock. The flower is done with the rock and roll technique in So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie. I didn't have any Bravo Burgundy except the button. I am gonna try to come up with another if time will allow

Flashback Friday

It amazes me at what a difference 3 yrs makes. This was taken at Meremac Caverns in September 05 as you can see. The kids have grown up so much. We took them there a few times before, but we haven't since. It is an amazing plaze but the prices keep going up and with 3 kids it is almost impossible to afford it anymore so we will just enjoy the pictures that we have

Flashback...Saturday?!

Ok, so I missed out yesterday, but I had to do it. Last night was crazy! Tyler had another DARE dance. So he was gone for most of the night. Sierra is now away at Girl Scout camp. This year they are here at Camp Tuckaho which is awesome because she is only 20 minutes away instead of 2 hrs away. So last night I took her to camp to drop her off and stuck around to play a quick game of volleyball. After that I got the job of running back into town to buy some bottled water, snacks and pick up chairs for the campfire. So I did a bunch of running around. Fun fun! Well this morning I have some more running to do, but I plan on going back to camp to hang out some more. I would have stayed if I didn't have bronchitis. So anyhoo, my pictures are from camp last spring that I was able to go to with her. We had ablast! We stayed in a cabin with their "little sister troop" as they call them.
