Superbowl Sunday

We had a small gathering for Super Bowl festivities.

I was going for the Giants  & hubby was going for the Patriots.

We all know how that turned out!

What did yall think of the half time show?

I LOVED Madonna!

I see there are a lot of haters out there! lol!

I think for 53 years old, she did pretty damn good!

She wasn't moving as fast as she did in her 20's but overall I was impressed!

And I loved those boots!

Apparently the Twitter world is divided on this topic.

There was an analysis done on Twitter about what people were saying. 

Next year the Super Bowl is going to be in New Orleans.

And since N.O. is only 6 hours away from us, 

we're already making plans to *hopefully* go to next years game!

Birthday Recap!

Yesterday we out to dinner for the husband's birthday to TGIFs.

I didn't know they had ladies night on Wednesday with a DJ!

That place was like a club last night! lol

Hubby's fabulous cake!

It was SOOO yummy!

(named blurred out of course)

 Hubby's expression is so cheesy, huh? HA!

 I don't get the whole not smiling thing!

 

Lots of friends came out to help celebrate &

we had a great time!

HBD!

 Happy Birthday Hubby!!

I am truly blessed & thankful to have such a wonderful husband.

I love you!!

We decided not to do anything big for our birthdays this year, after we booked the cruise to Hawaii and researched the prices for various excursions! 

We're gonna have to save every dollar, quarter, penny, & lint in our pockets! lol!

So tonight we'll be going out to dinner with friends & family!

Enjoy your day!

Noooo!

Have yall seen those JC Penney commercials with all those women yelling "Noooo!"

Cracks me up every time!

In other news, my hubby bought this nifty item at TJ Maxx.

And it does this to apples.

My new after work/late night snack!

(with peanut butter of course!)

4.4

I dont know how this happened, but I lost 4.4 lbs in 4 days! 

Woot Woot!

We started going to the gym Thursday and today was the second time we went.

We did pour out all the soda in our house on Thursday and have been eating super healthy for 4 days (salads, grilled chicken, fruits, yogurt, etc).

And drinking LOTS of water!

Giving up soda is HARD! I love a nice hard coke!

(when I say " hard coke" I mean very acidic.)

My other problem is fast food.

I started a new schedule last week at work so now I have an hour for lunch.

I go out to eat with a friend each day so I have to figure out what I'm going to eat.

Salads & Sub sandwhiches get old! 

Did you know you CAN actually eat healthier at fast food restaurants?

I came across this site which shows you how to do it!

It gave me a good idea of what to order, so we'll see how this goes.

An I wanted to update you all on that Vita Coco Coconut Water...

YUCK!

Nastiest shit I've ever drank! It was like drinking ocean water!

However, I did discover that Wal-mart's Great Value Yogurt is surprisingly GREAT!

 

Not only does it taste JUST LIKE Yoplait, it's cheaper & bigger! 

Let's see how long I can make this healthy eating thing last. 

When I get down to a good weight I will reveal #s. 

I'm keeping tracking on my phone.

Speaking of phone, are there any apps you recommend for this?

Here's some old pics of me from college. I was in my early 20's.

I'd love to get back down to this size. 

I am NOT a fan of being stick skinny (no offense to those who are), 

so this size is perfect for me!

An added bonus would be if I could get my girls to sit up like that again with no bra! HA!

Damn you gravity!!!

*Disregard the beer & cig- I was in a club obviously! lol

And no, all those drinks in the background aren't mine!

 

I need to blow these pics up & hang them next to my fridge for inspiration!

I'm bringing Sexy Back!

 Hubby signed us up for a gym memebership yesterday.

What the hell, it's only $10 a month with no contract!

I'm excited!

We plan to work out at 10pm because were night owls.

Plus the gym is practically empty.

After we left the gym, hubby was in some type of crazy mood.

We went to Walmart & he bought me new workout clothes, fruits, veggies, energy drinks, etc
We bought some of this too...has anyone tried it?

I need to lose almost 100lbs for my height!! UGHH!
I know this is going to be a lonnnnng journey!
I'll be happy if I can lose at least 50 by October (Hawaii)!

Any tips on staying encouraged? I can't tell you the # of times I've joinmed a gym, only to be a philanthropist instead of memeber! Last year I spent $480 on a gym membership and all we got were 2 ID cards. Sad, I know!

Jewelry Organzation

I am not crafty. I like the idea of the projects and the outcome (that I see online), but the last time I decided to refinish a desk I found on Craigslist, I gave up.

So while in Bed, Bath, & Beyond today I bought a pants hanger similar to this:

I like it because each arm swings out.

I turned that into this:

As you can see I was able to store several necklaces & bracelets.

I don't know if I like it that much yet, but it's much better than storing all that in a jewelry box.
