Small Steps

Not to toot my own horn, but I did pretty good again last week. I lost another pound! Yay! And Dan gained it! Hah!  Only because he went a little crazy most of the week and went over his daily limit. 

I think it's getting slightly easier, but I don't want to speak too soon and have a bad week.  I've started doing zumba a couple days a week at school to get in a little exercise.  A by little I mean a lot. Cause zumba will straight up kick yo butt!  In a good way :) 

When I lose 5 pounds we've made a deal that we get to go eat out at Chuy's, so I need to get working! I love me some Chuy's!

Dieting is So Fun!

NOT!  Daniel and I are now starting week 3 of doing Weight Watchers together.  That first week was a doozy. All I wanted to do was eat. All the time.  We both went over our points pretty much everyday, and for the first week I was ok with that.  It's hard to train yourself to eat different things.

 Last week we both did much better.  Daniel lost 7 pounds! Ummm wow! Who are you?!  I lost 1 pound and I am proud that the number went down! I know he'll probably drop it faster and it'll take me forever, so I have to keep patient.

Tonight we're trying a recipe for cheese enchiladas we found online.  Hope it turns out good! A good website I found for healthier recipes that include how many points they are is http://www.skinnytaste.com/  We tried the oatmeal breakfast bake last weekend and it was pretty good.

Happy counting! :)

Controlling the chaos

Well it's a new year, and I am not one for making resolutions.  However, I am all for being more organized and keeping things simple.  So today I had the day off and decided to get some cleaning done.  Our pantry needed some lovin'.  This summer I worked on getting it better organized, but well life happens and it's gotten just a bit sloppy again.  We wanted to get a lot of the clutter off of the floor so you know, you could actually walk in there!  I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and found a couple of metal sliding drawers to put some things in and I think it looks much better now!

The end result

Hopefully we can keep it looking like this for a while!
