Just 1 more...

One more what, you might ask?? One more pound. I lost 1 more pound last week. I had really hoped for even one more, but as someone said in the breakroom today at school, "Only 1 is still 52 pounds in a year!". Nothing to scoff at really. I would love to have 50 gone by this summer, but I will honestly take what I can get right now. I know I could be working a bit harder at it, but it will come. I am still addicted to volleyball. Can't wait each week for Thursday! It can never come fast enough and I am dreadfully sad as soon as it is over. GOTTA get more volleyball. CAN'T live without it. WHERE can I get some? I am in a panic as soon as someone says it is time to go. "NOOOOOOOOOO, it can't be time to go. I didn't get enough. I need more! C'mon, just 5 more minutes!! I'll do anything!" Get my drift? I love it and need it...lots of it!!!

So, I am absolutely, completely, not ready for crop this weekend. I really shouldn't even be on here. I should be in my craft {junk} room right now instead on this thing. So, I should really wrap this up. Well, I hope you enjoyed my slightly odd, kind of addicted post today. Catch you after Crop Away!!!

One more sleep until volleyball!

Drum roll PLEASE!

This morning was a typical Monday morning. Chris turned OFF the alarm and I woke up thankfully at 7:05. Knowing that I was OK for time, I wasn't worried that it was a little late. So that time had come. My date with the scale. After my dream about weigh in the other night, I gingerly stepped on the scale. Hoping and praying to the LOW FAT GODS! Well, there it was. I lost............... 7 pounds!!! I was shocked! I couldn't believe it!! I would have been happy with 4 or 5 after nothing the week before. I am so LOVING the scale today. After I cursed at it last week, it has redeemed itself. What an amazing affirmation that I am doing well. I usually lull myself into this false sense that I did good and that I think I have lost weight. With that, I step onto the scale to find no change and then realize and say to myself... "You didn't really try to lose weight, you shouldn't be surprised" But after last week, I knew I did good, and I knew I really tried. So, this week, I have conquered the scale, and I look forward to doing battle with it next Monday!!

How was all of your Mondays? I thought I would include a layout that I did with this post. I have so many to post that I just need to get them done.

Have a great Tuesday!! Only 3 more days until I get to play volleyball!!!

Tomorrow is the day!!!

So, tomorrow is weigh in day in our house, and I have to say I am a bit nervous. I think I have lost weight. I feel different in some areas and I think I look smaller in some areas. I dreamt last night that I was weighing in and I kept stepping on the scale over and over and every time it was different. Not just by one or two pounds, but by 11 or something like that. I just really hope for a good number tomorrow morning.

I have included one of the pages that I did at the Keepsakes crop back in October. I have to say it is one of my favorites. You know how you always bring stuff in the hopes of actually using it. Well, one of those things for me is embroidery floss. I always bring in and never use it. I finally used it on 2 pages that weekend. So, I will try to bring something again to Crop Away that I haven't managed to use yet and make a point of using it. I can't wait for Crop Away. It is going to be so fun. I think I already said that in my last post. Well, I can't lie, I can't wait!!!

Have a great day!!

Don't forget to create and exercise!!!

This one's for you TODD!!!

Ok, well, I guess it's not just for you. But I really wanted to give you something to look forward to in the morning!!! It has been a while, I know. Now that Christmas is over, company is gone, and Chris is done school, things are getting back to normal. But not just a normal normal. A better normal. Stick with me here, am I losing you? I am finally REALLY getting serious about getting healthier, losing weight, exercising, and eating better. I have been really active in the last couple of weeks. We have been skiing and sledding a few times. I have been playing volleyball on Thursday nights, and I have been using my Wii Fit just about every day. I am LOVING the volleyball. I could play every night if I could find somewhere to play. I forgot how much I loved it in high school. So, it has been almost 20 years since I played, and it is all coming back to me. I pulled the treadmill back out into the living room again, so I will be getting on there too. We have been eating extremely well in the last couple of weeks as well. Tons of veges, fruit, whole grains, NO JUNK, lots of water. I really feel like this time it will stick. I feel great and after I work out, I feel pumped. I almost feel addicted. Just like a junkie looks for their next high, I look forward to the next time I can exercise. So, weigh in is on Monday. I am hoping for some good numbers.

On a different note, I have been scrappin' quite a bit. Not lately, but November and October were great months for me. I got roughly 20 pages done, which is huge for me!! I turned my first Design Team page and have until the end of the month to get my next one done. I am heading out for the next Crop Away and the end of the month as well, and I am hoping to get a ton accomplished. Can't wait to be sitting across from my SOB, croppin' and laughin'!!! Well, how was that Teri? Enough?

Take care, keep creating...
