I Am Not the Biggest Loser.......But I Am In The Top 10

Scale
I participated again in my jobs, Biggest Loser challenge. We started the second week of January and ended last Wednesday. I will say during this challenge it had many ups and downs, including many birthday cakes, after Christmas treats and Valentines Day. It did motivate me to use the work gym more during my lunch and start using the My Fitness Pal app on my phone. When the posting went up every two weeks I waited in expectation to see where I placed, either way good or bad it made me want to do better with my food choices and my exercise. I must admit with all the cold weather, I really did not want to do much exercise but just wanting to snuggle with the little one with a little evening TV. Well, we finally got the standings yesterday and I was..........6th out of 28 people. I won a whole $20.00, which basically allowed me to break even since there was a $20.00 entrance fee. This process just allowed me to look at my food choices better and jump start me with obtaining my fitness goals. Yeah me!! Let's just hope that I can keep it up, especially since summer is on its way.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
