It's Friday, it's 50 degrees outside, I am feeling 150% better, and I'm feeling "skinny"!! Life is good! Getting sick really makes me appreciate it when I'm healthy!<br /><br /></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I took all of your advice and didn't work out. I am sure I will be fine, but I couldn't believe I have went 5 days w/o exercise! I will be hitting the gym 1st thing tomorrow morning. But I think it was good to give my body one more day to rest and catch up.<br /><br /></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">DH and I went out with some friends tonight for supper. We haven't went out with this couple in FOREVER so it was great to spend time with them catch up and laugh a little. We went to Applebees and I ordered the garlic herb chicken, ate the veggies 1st, then the potatoes, and then by the time I got to the chicken I could only eat half of it!! But of course two hours later I somehow had room for an ice cream cone! It fit within my points range though so I'm hoping it won't affect the scale. I'm really curious to see what it is in the morning.<br /><br /></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I booked my ticket for spring break to West Palm Beach, Florida!! Now I know what you're thinking....spring break..."Aren't you 24?" Yes I am, but I work at a college so I also get time off during spring break week!! It's great!! My Grandpa winters in Florida, my sister is going to school in Florida, and another one of my sister's lives in Georgia so I'll get to see all three!! I cannot wait. I need to get my butt in gear and lose these last 12.5 lbs!! It is a little less than 6 weeks and I think I can totally do it, I just need to stay focused! I would love to wear my two piece swimsuit that I haven't worn since my honeymoon in 2005! I also need to tan a little to get some good color so I can come back all nice and bronze!! (I know it's horrible...but being tan makes me feel SSSO much better about how I look)<br /><br /></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I forgot to tell you guys, I measured on Sunday and lost another 6.75 inches last month for a total of 22.5 inches (10 different places) in 3 months!! I think that explains all the baggy pants I've been wearing! I need to get my Feb. goals posted and post my January picture. I really can't tell a difference in the pictures, but I know later on down the road I will be glad that I took those silly pictures!<br /><br /></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I'm sitting here listening to <a href="http://www.daveramsey.com/">Dave Ramsey</a> on Sirius Internet Radio and getting so motivated. We started our total money makeover in October and got a little lax during the holiday season and now we're kicking it back into gear. If you haven't heard of this guy and are trying to pay off debt you need to check it out...he is AWESOME!!! (sorry for the off subject...but I had to mention it!) </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Lots on the agenda for tomorrow....workout, get nails done, tan, schedule my massage (reward for meeting 170lb goal!), and meet my very prego friend for lunch! I'm excited, should be a great Saturday!!</div><br /></div>

Hey everyone! Well I got up this morning and still didn't feel 100%, but thought I could push through it and get in a good day at work. Well I didn't quite make it all day...I ended up coming home at noon. I didn't even want to drive myself home I felt so dizzy & <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">nauseous</span>. I called DH crying and he insisted he would come get me, but that meant we would have to come get our vehicle later so I decided to push through, be a big girl, and drive home (I know I sound pathetic). Got home, ate some toast, and crashed. I think I was just pushing myself too much after being sick for so long. After resting all afternoon I think I am starting to re-coop. I really hope to be at work all day tomorrow...I HAVE to be...I feel bad for my co-workers, but very glad because they've been great at keeping my stuff up while I've been gone.<br /><br />Right now I'm debating on going to the gym in the morning. I really want to because I haven't worked out since Sunday, but I think I'll make my final decision in the morning. To go or not to go...that is the question?!?!?<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Nite</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">bloggies</span>!<br /><br />PS Thanks for the well wishes & *hugs*! Means a lot!! :)

We wanted to rent Fireproof but all the video stores were out so we decided to catch up on some taped (yes we don't have tivo...still vhs!!) shows from the week. We made chicken parmesan and it was great. It is one of DH's favorites, granted we can't quite make it like Applebees does, it still isn't too bad!</div><br /><div align="left">I feel like I've got a jump start on weekend chores. I dusted, swiffered, vacuumed, cleaned the bathroom, and started laundry. I have lots I want to get done on Saturday so I knew I had to get those weekly things out of the way! PLUS I need to get in a nice long workout tomorrow. I really want to be out of the 170s by Sunday morning! So we'll see what happens. As long as I can avoid the "bunny tracks ice cream" in the freezer I think I'll be ok!</div><br /><div align="left">Happy Friday bloggies and I hope everyone has a FAN-TAB-U-LOUS weekend!!</div><br /><div align="left">PS I am having trouble getting my pics uploaded so hopefully I can get them up tomorrow!

This is not a good habit to get into...to lose these last15.5 pounds I've got to step it up, sleeping in doesn't help!! Friday morning I'm back at the gym for a run! I have NO other choice!!<br /><br />Thursday was a CRAZY day at work!! It's the day we get all the students' loan money for the 2nd semester and it's my job to reconcile that it's all posted correctly...wow glad that's over with! Maybe my body knew I had a hard day ahead of me and I needed the extra sleep to cope. Nope...not true, I've got to get my workouts in! Anyway...<br /><br />I had an <a href="http://uppercaseliving.com/">Uppercase Living</a> party to go to last night at a friend's house who is 6 1/2 months pregnant and I haven't seen in a few months so I was excited about that and it was good to see her. And I'm excited to get my expressions and get them put up! I got one for our living room and one for the bathroom! When I get them up I will def post some pics!<br /><br />DH called me during the party and said some other friends of ours called and wanted to go our for pizza. Of course my first reaction is "oh no!", but they are fun to hang out with so I couldn't say no. I just told myself I would only eat two slices and stay within my points for the day. Well if I would have stuck with that plan I would have been fine, but as you saw I ate 2 slices of dessert pizza which was 11 points! Ouch! I hate that I have such a sweet tooth. Sigh...<br /><br />I hope everyone has had a successful week and is ready for the weekend! Superbowl party anyone? DH is already talking about all these "horrible" foods he wants to pick up this weekend for the game...aaahhh! I can be strong & say no! Those foods won't help me in any way, shape, or form on this journey! </div>

So I thought I would do it here quick before I got too busy at work! I don't have my camera cord with me so you'll just have to imagine my pictures (I'll add them later)!<br /><br />Wednesday morning I shut my alarm off w/o even knowing it. Next thing I know DH is waking me up saying it's almost 7am! I was so bummed because it was a run day and I really need to get back to my schedule. I guess I needed the extra sleep!<br /><br />I worked on a wedding invitation order tonight and by the time I got done it was after 9:30 and I still hadn't eaten supper. I even had some chicken out ready to make! But I just grabbed a quick bowl of cereal with DH and hit the hay. I hate eating right before I got to bed, but I didn't want to not eat because I knew I would be hungry in the morning.<br /><br />Of course, I peeked at the scale this morning and it was down another .5lb!! I'm 2lbs away from hitting my January goal of 169. I'm not sure that I'll make that, but if I could even be 169.5 by the end of the month that would be AWESOME!!<br /><br />See you all later tonight for Thursday's post!! Hope everyone has a GREAT day!! </div></div>

<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">WEEKEND RECAP</span></strong><br /><br /></div><div align="left">This isn't going to be like one of my usual posts, but I wanted to give a quick recap of my weekend! I hope you guys all had a good one! </div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left">Saturday I woke up around 6am to get ready and head down my sister's house (she lives about 20 minutes away). I wanted to get a workout in before we went shopping, but the gym is only open 8am-2pm and we were going to leave her house at 8:30am. So I just decided to get in a quick workout at her house before we went, she has an elliptical. It felt great too! I quickly showered and made my usual breakfast of oatmeal and a pear.<br /><br /></div><div align="left"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295434822099321842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYh3I1zowVzn9HGsSLCzMc9u0TcYy7l6ZVqsdtbfezt99D4JmJMf1ksbesQ8i3EmbX2Vg_wfKgEalxUOWyKuu6Fr5ACap71uBJXy4PxR93qQ8I4WSX0cWgPfLsRSuwhhColzepEZIioXJh/s320/DSC01721.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /></div><br />We headed to Des Moines and started shopping right away. We first went to <a href="http://www.merlehaymall.com/">Mearle Hay Mall</a>, which isn't the newest mall in town. We were mainly going because there are some really good clearance sales going on right now and we figured if we went to the less popular malls we would have better selection! We found some AWESOME deals at Younkers while we were at Mearle Hay! One of my favorites was this, a strapless, sheer black w/shinny silver under-layer dress:<br /><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295436190251509874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv1vvhBN2wfafntplF4CxQYTpxxFfEc2Njmgp9pMcVel3tQ-Z81Xnb0yA_Kk4fvJg4q7QmjDDORUTCNgpCTaOrA22bAw5_ebEZg4Y3Hl2h2as3aHg7Kmw1eMUj1-zhLH5t1njgtzAqg0qf/s320/DSC01726.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /><br /><div align="left">And notice this:</div><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295436194428527090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl5V2hQsvOyXWltibWmUdo-v6t0qLs-_dX8PuThmColQ8IJTXcwmSlyrY4NVu4YTrrrOs2NgXRzim5Q-1-0LJT20NYdIGhdsSF-iXisZp6qkgyK5ILP2__ACGqdwa-bJjlZF2iAwpPwitq/s320/DSC01727.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /><br /><div align="left">Yep you saw that right, it's a size 10!!!! I was so pumped. My sister-in-law (DH's older sister) is getting married in June so I was half-way looking for a dress for that. My sister was looking through the racks and found this one and we thought it looked great and so I was going to try it on, but then we saw it was a size 10 and was like "bummer". But I wanted to try it on anyway and I did and it FIT!! Zipped up perfectly and everything!! Felt great!! I did a little dance around the dressing room and made my sister laugh!! Best part, orig price $125, clearance price, $21!!<br /><br /></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Afterwards we hit Sam's Club & Ethan Allen. My sister is looking for a new bed. Neither of us had been to Ethan Allen before. I love so many things there. It made me want to come home and re-do our house! Sam's Club was a great stop. I stocked up Fiber One Bars (DH loves them, as do I!) and got some B-E-A-UTIFUL strawberries....only $2/lb! Couldn't believe they had such great, red, cheap, berries in January!</div><br /><div align="left">Got hungry in between stops so I grabbed a Fiber One Bar & a string cheese to tide me over.<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295438777433614050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRoHqQvQrosNv8OEXR8sBJRNpXDbvub_q787PNMs6-MTHQrvLz4YN_eSMJsFP9cet6Er5rNW9ob_Lapi5Psgs_9dBZxRRTc0raB-iIq4X73pxCRV4cPgAR9WCUcptg62kk7d2YPCVGm1Ol/s320/DSC01722.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295438771464567570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpZ14l5YFx1Ejhfo39-wlBpjfB-cJjFtb8JsguaPzFoTqUhX31C8ekFvez0vnqQrYOR44Ch_-V9S8JtbtH7dFgrYwa7pe6YAE3_lXzqoGX2ZxraSbSnmsiOlhAA-DCGpTflPLkvnG7rEsU/s320/DSC01723.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /><br />Then we headed to our 2nd mall stop, <a href="http://www.valleywestmall.com/">Valley West Mall</a>. JcPenny's had a sale where all their clearance was buy one, get one free. We were pretty disappointed until we went downstairs and I found all the Iowa Hawkeye stuff! So of course I had to stock up. They didn't really have a lot of clothes, but other random fun things. Like Hawkeye slippers for DH and Hawkeye Christmas ornaments for our <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSEYUejDuIqTZbKi2QovEdn7KZ57RNNBQTpEwRLt0GhGXowqS3j3YjkO_rLZOVTlyWelEQ2PbLWJdXHCXUF5meEyn2I0q6OVmfmK0ee0y3p33KjoBXHmorNcAMmj6oXldlFXD3PJWz_k/s1600-h/DSC013644.JPG">"hawkeye christmas tree"</a>.</div><br /><div align="left">Afterwards we were feeling pretty hungry (it was almost 4pm!) So we headed to one of my ALL-TIME favorite restaurants, <a href="http://www.cheddars.com/CHD/06/wow.html">Cheddars</a>. I get the same thing every time, chicken tender wrapper. It's AMAZING!! It is buffalo chicken tenders, cheddar cheese, and some sort of sauce and/or dressing in a flour flavored tortilla. I don't know what it is about it that is I love so much, because by what I just wrote, it doesn't sound that great! DH and I usually split it, but he wasn't there so I just took half home to him. I don't see how anyone could eat all four wrappers.</div><br /><p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295438765996662674" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhbqvdWNiC37w55q5bcBvgQ3oV4W0IEvRMLSiH7I2rS9Huj-qWocRMpWhAyMiRNIbRwPpggp_BOoPdza8oZ6QnhyphenhyphenDYxaunxf85Tqbkbl-McRQJ8OOM396VxC2prR2HDA880ZMrbEPq-j84/s320/DSC01724.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /></p><p><br />When we left the restaurant we headed to our last mall stop, <a href="http://www.jordancreektowncenter.com/html/index2.asp">Jordan Creek Town Center</a>. It is a great area with tons of awesome shopping & dining, a new development in the Des Moines area. We found quite a few more great deals. Baby Gap was having a sale on their clearance, you got an extra 25% off so I stocked up on baby gifts and a few things that I might want to keep for my future kids! (i have a thing for buying baby clothes!) My sister bought a massage chair and a foot massage thing at Younkers that were both AWESOME!!!! Might be spending a lil more time at her place now!!! ;)<br /><br />By this time is was almost after 7pm so were about beat for the day! We grabbed a diet fountain pop (i luv fountain pop!) on the way out of town and headed home (1.5-2 hr drive). Overall it was a great shopping day!<br /><br />By the time I got home I figured DH would be sleeping and I could just sneak into bed with him, but he got called into work like the minute I got home and so I did a few things around the house until he got back...not until after midnight!<br /><br />Today we had to drag our sleepy-butts out of bed to get to church. DH had to usher so we had no choice...no matter how tired we were! Hit the grocery store afterwards. Then we headed home and DH made waffles for brunch, which I forgot to photograph! But they were great. I just added a little chocolate pb2 and some sf syrup...mmmm! Then we hit the hay for a much needed Sunday afternoon nap.<br /><br />By the time we got up it was after 6pm (long nap....i know, but it felt great!) and so the by the time I would've gotten to the gym I would have only had 15 minutes to workout, so I didn't go. I know, I'm naughty. I hope to make up for it this week. So I just did a few things around the house and grabbed something to eat.<br /><br />Check out this yummy combo...one of my favorites!! Vanilla yogurt, grape nuts, & strawberries!! Mmmmmmmmm!!</p><p><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295438758210682498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio0jR-krUc27My56lgWPjEmKh65Gm9ZDV_VUHjXND6uGJ9KwFZEyWQHlNXJVZTvU9B1j6pnPv9r9cmCF9iBCwZU4RZgR3EwXztC8Mu5lFbjQ67RawnH2K8-WvoMnf9w7sdj2OI66d3-JLc/s320/DSC01729.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center;" /> </p><p>So much for a "quick" post!
