A Few of MY Favorite Things!!

I might not be Oprah {nor will I ever likely be anything LIKE Oprah} but I do have some favorite things, and I'd like to share them with you! {These links do not attach to any sort of affiliate sites. I get nothing from directing you to them other than the satisfaction that you might end up as happy as I am! I also tried to direct you to the best deal that I could find online! You're welcome!}

1. Keurig Vue V500 {$99}

I received one of these back in May of 2013 as a result of a House Party that I hosted. I previously had a regular Keurig but am now head over heels in love with my Vue! Not only can I make regular coffee and tea but I can also use frother cups that allow me to turn any coffee/tea into a latte! I am in love!! Currently, I am drinking the Pumpkin Spice Latte, I dare say it is better than I've had at some of my local coffee joints. PLUS it is only 100 calories!



2. Harveys Seatbelt Indigo Lola Satchel {$234}

I love all Harveys Seatbelt Bags!! I have too many to list but as of recently, this little beauty has become my FAVORITE! I have even felt a little guilty for neglecting all my other bags!! Yikes! Anyway, this bag is HUGE and holds all of the things I need and more! Besides being huge, and sturdy {I can toss it around} it was Made in the USA. Yes, it is a little pricey, but I honestly think this beauty will likely last forever.


3. Origami Owl Lockets {prices vary}

Okay, this time my link will take you to an affiliate account. Why? Because it is mine! I am an Origami Owl Independent Designer and I love our products! We started out with lockets on necklaces but recently O2 has moved into bracelets. They have such FUN items!! You really need to check them out! Interested in learning more?

4. Costco Membership {$55}

We FINALLY got a Costco Warehouse in our community. The best part? It is on my side of town! We never have anything fun on my side of town {well, besides me! LOL!} but we finally have this. I have two favorite things available at Costco. The first is their Kirkland Pesto Sauce {$6.99} which my family loves on pasta and couscous {yummmy!} and the second item is their homemade mac-n-cheese. So delicious!! I'm really impressed with Costco. Now I've talked myself into heading there for dinner...

Well, I have many other favorites but I think I'll keep it at four for right now! This was fun sharing my favorites with you. I'll do it again soon!

Starting Over - Again.

I have been on a roller coaster this past school year and I cannot get my act together. My motivation is null. I know that in order to truly get my life in order, it has to come from within. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find that internal motivation. It is so frustrating. I've missed my last two WW meetings due to other commitments and I know that is half my battle. The other have is definitely my lack of motivation. I need to change that. Where do I begin? Here. WHY do I want to lose weight? GOOD HEALTH: My cholesterol keeps creeping up on me. My latest overall score? 234. That is the highest it has been and I know that with diet and exercise I can drop that number WAY down. MY DAUGHTERS: My husband and I are both overweight. We were not always this way but after we graduated from high school and started making bad choices, the weight crept on and hasn't left. I don't want my daughters to follow in our footsteps. I want them to learn good eating and exercise habi...

Starting Fresh!

I am down 18.8 lbs. since I began my journey on January 22, 2012. The last couple of weeks I lost and gained the same 2 lbs. and started to give up hope. Today I woke up and decided that I wouldn't lose hope, so I went to my Sunday morning meeting and decided to start again! The meeting was about keeping up during the summer so here are the goals that I have set for myself: Weight ---My weight today is 150.6 lbs. ---What I hope to weigh by Labor Day (in 13 weeks) is 135.6 lbs. Activity ---Activities I'll be doing are playing with my kids, walking the treadmill, and (hopefully) getting back to Zumba classes. ---Something new I'll try is running outside. I currently run/walk on my treadmill but I'd like to continue this activity outside, if possible. ---How often and how long I'll plan to be active: I would like to continue my run/walk program for 3x/ week. BUT I'd love to up that to about 6x/week (work 3 days, rest, work 3 days, rest, etc.) Lifestyle...

Clean Slate!

I have a clean slate! Well, kind of. Yesterday I walked back through the doors of Weight Watchers and decided to ask for a clean slate. I missed the last three weekends and decided that yesterday was going to be a very sad day for me in terms of weighing in. So, I walked in, told the receptionist that I was "starting over" and that is what I did! She deleted my previous history from the computer and I'm acting like a new member. So...my new starting weight is 161.6 lbs. and I'm going forward from there. I can do this. I have a good feeling about this. It's all on my shoulders but I really need to lose some weight this summer and I'd love to see goal by September 5th. Technically, it's "only" 20.6 lbs. but back when I was about 5 lbs. from goal, I thought I had it. Apparently I did not. (Insert sad face here.) There are 15 weeks between now and September 5th. There is a holiday on Monday (cookout at home...I've got this!) and a holiday July 4t...
