Are you S.A.D.?

I think I may be. Other than church and pre-school we rarely leave the house. It is cold, bleak, and just depressing!!! Ways to cure Seasonal Affective Disorder include light therapy, anti-depressant medication, hormone injections...

Which one will I choose?

Maybe a trip to Miami?

Happy 5th Birthday Wyatt!

Today is Wyatt's birthday. I am a little sad that these first five years have FLOWN by! He is a great boy and the sweetest too. I love you Wyatt Jacob!

Three Week Weigh In

(sigh) It has been three weeks and I have lost 1.2 pounds. At this rate is will take me almost a year to lose 12 pounds! Here are my positives: I am still working out every other day and I have cut back on snacking and pop. The negatives: I am not getting near enough water and I really need to up the fruits and veggies and possibly work out more than every other day.

Still 1 pound is some progress.

room*6 is having a Wild Thyme!!!

Sneak Peek!

Here is my sneak peek for the Wild Thyme Fabric launch. I fell in LOVE with Patty Young's Flora and Fauna collection and incorporated those fabrics with one of Carolyn Gavin's Wild Thyme. This is not what I originally thought I was going to make, but I love it!!! I am also making Madeline's doll, Maisy a dress too!

Dilly Dally is having a Wild Thyme!

One week check in!

Well, it has been one week since I started my weight loss journey. I weighed this morning and I did not lose or gain, BUT I have noticed that my abs are firming up. I did my Biggest Loser workout four times this week, but I did not cut back on the junk. I increased my water some, but not enough. I have done better about the pop. I am trying to limit myself to one can per day. Some days that is a CHALLENGE! I feel good! I could not do a man push a week ago and now I can do 5 without passing out! Progress!!!

Goals for this next week:

Continue to work out every other day on level one (30 min)

Try to drink 64 ounces of water per day

Cut out the unhealthy in between meal snacks

I will let you all know how I do next week!

Happy New Year!!!

2010! I can not believe it!!! Of course the new year always brings on "resolutions" that I usually do not stick to. This year will be different... at least that is my intention. Here they are:

1. Lose 12.8 pounds~ that still keeps me in the "normal" BMI range. I am currently tenths of a point from "overweight"

2. Save more money than I spend. We are trying to buy a house and I need the dough.

3. Spend some individual time with each child each day doing something they enjoy.

oh, and

4. Try to blog more frequently!

Happy New Year to you all!
