Lists

Since I don't want to get a swift kick in the behind, I figured I should probably update this thing! I think I'm going to do a list format this time. I love my lists!

• Weightloss--As of Sunday I was at 251. That is down 17 pounds from when I started. On the way up north this last weekend, while in the car I made a meal plan for the week. I wasn't sure how they would be calorie wise, but for the most part, my days worth came out ot 1000-1200 calories. That is perfect, it gives me a little wiggle room. On Monday though, after I ate all my meals, I was only around 750 calories. ACK! And the kicker was I wasn't even hungry! But I had some snacks that evening to get me up to 1100. Still under 1200, but I'm not going to worry about that for a day. I also noticed now that I have to think before I put things in my mouth, I don't snack as much. For the most part, I leave all of the snacky food/candy alone at work, and at home, I eat supper and am good. Usually I would snack and graze while making supper and even after. Now I don't. Amazing.
• Scrapbook--I am almost done with my It's About Me scrapbook! All of the pagese are done, I just have to do the journaling. There is a lot of journaling to do in the book...but I've started to hand write it out.
• Wishblade savings--or should I say lack there of? I got my hands on a list of retiring stamps from Stampin' Up! Of course there is a bunch on there that I truly want and a bunch that I sorta want. A gal at Willlow Traders had a bunch of the sets for sale at 50% off. And they were not wood mounted. She used EZ mount on them, so you use the clear acrlic blocks. Less storage space that way! And cheaper shipping! So I bought a bunch of sets off of her $124.50. Not bad, since they were half off!! Even got sets that weren't retiring, ROFL. So a bunch of my wishblade money went there. I was weak. Must get back on the wagon.
• Mother's Day--Mother's day is on Sunday! Last weekend when we were up north, we gave Ma her Mother's Day present. For part of it, I made a little coffee filter book. Turned out adorable, if I can say so myself. And I told Ma not to cry when she opened it, but she did! Then had Julie crying and me too.... And of course, before I gave it to her, I forgot to take pictures of it! So if you want to see it, just beg Ma for some pictures. ;)
• Content---you know sometimes, when you feel life is overwheleming, well lately I feel content. I don't really know why. I'm just all around happy, my goofy normal self. The house has remained fairly cleaned up, I'm scrapbooking. Jason is his normal, goofy, happy self. Life is good. I just feel like, I'm finally doign something right, and am content with home and work and things are good. Love that feeling. I hope that it sticks around for a long time!
