42 Down

I am now almost 42% done with my list. I crossed a few off of there over the past couple months. I hosted Thanksgiving, took my daughter Trick or Treating, and did a somersault (which made me dizzy as heck, by the way)

Too bad I didn't put Disney World on my list, and instead put Disneyland. I went to Disney World a little over a month ago and had a blast!

A little late, but...

About 3 weeks ago I hit the goal weight I had listed on this blog (155) - but my plan is to continue on to lose 5-10 more pounds. But if I don't, I still will have achieved this goal.

Also, today we headed to Red Rocks and I did the stairs... with Violet on my back in the Ergo. My calves are killing me tonight.

Ugh

How's that bike working out? Oh, the one that I rode ONCE and it had a flat tire the next day? Major fail.

But anyway, today Violet and I finger painted together. Well, I put the paint on the paper and she played in it and then rubbed it all over her legs and tummy.

Cruisin'

Combine a great price, a Target discount, and garage sale money and I got myself a brand new Schwinn Legacy Cruiser last night. I then proceeded to take a nice little 5 mile ride & enjoyed the beautiful night. Eventually I'll get a trailer to put Violet in, but for now it's just me, my Schwinn & the tunes. Love it!

I haven't forgotten!

I have just been really busy! But I've done a number of things on my list. I've gotten a facial, made home cooked meals pretty much EVERY night (part of my diet program, but still...) eat veggies at EVERY meal and the big one... we bought a house!

We moved in on April 3rd and have been getting settled. We're really working on our back yard right now, and have other little projects we want to finish up inside too. I'm trying to declutter & get rid of a lot of stuff as best as I can (it would have been smart to have done that BEFORE we moved, but whatever).

So.. crossing a few off!

2 books down and then some.

I've finished two books so far - Dear John and The Last Song, both by Nicholas Sparks. I'm in the middle of The Blind Side by Michael Lewis.

I thought Dear John sucked. I love Nicholas Sparks, but he really dropped the ball with this one. Hated the ending. Terrible. The Last Song, on the other hand, was great. I cried through the last few chapters - not just tears, but full on sobbing.

I have two other books waiting in the wings for as soon as I finish The Blind Side.

Oh... and... soon we'll be crossing a BIG one off the list. We're set to close on our first home by the end of the month!

And we can cross off the fact that I have not had any Starbucks in not one, but TWO+ months. Thanks to the diet plan that I'm on, there's no caffeine. Yes, I'm still alive. This also means that I haven't had any sweets in over two months. Cross that one off too!

Happy New Year!

I'm not quite one year down, but today I bought two books and borrowed a 3rd so I can get started on my 5 books this year. Actually, I really hope I can read more than 5 books this year, and having 3 to read right away is a great start. Hope everyone had a great New Year!
