The Tuesday Edition of Monday Morning Weigh In

148!!!!!!  I made it!!! The 140's have arrived. I worked very hard this past week. While I did not do Jillian Michael's every day, I did do a much better job of getting a little bit of cardio in everyday. Even if I only had time for a 10 minute sparkpeople.com video. My mamma got a me a 30 day pass to a fitness studio that offers Zumba classes. I heart Zumba!! I went to the first class on Sunday. Kicked my booty. I took a cold shower when I got home, and it helped to minimize the hurty muscles. Still not crazy sore, even today.

Weigh in Monday

Okay, okay, family and friends that fell for my attempt at humor earlier. Don't hate me, I couldn't help myself.

I weighed in at 150 this morning. To be honest, I am shocked. Don't get me wrong, I stayed within my 1200-1300 caloric allowance most days, but what I did eat on those days was junk (i.e. pizza, Chinese food, and ice cream).

New Baby...

Cookie Scoop and Pinspired Cookie Balls

I got a cookie scoop!!!! I am so very excited to have a cookie scoop. Oh, the small joys in life.

See? Isn't she a beaut???

Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispie Treats

I made these for the fam a couple weeks ago. They were a HUGE hit. I wanted Rice Crispie Treats, but I also wanted Peanut Butter. This is what I came up with. There may be a better recipe out there, but I did this on the fly and with what I had on hand...

Weigh in Monday

151 lbs. this morning. I think that is not too shabby for a week without running. I only had an opportunity to get in a 1.5 mile run on Thursday this week. We just had so much going on. I am not upset or downtrodden over a one pound gain. I lost 6 lbs the first week, which is a TON of weight for one week. I will do better this week, and maybe I can break the 140's. I haven't seen that kind of number in a while.

Pinspired- Pancake Muffins

This is another wonderful Pinterest idea. Use your favorite pancake mix. Pour into mini muffins tins. Top with yummy toppings and bake. Not only do the pancakes all turn out the same, but you don't have to cook them at different times or watch your family eat theirs while you cook yours. No more pancake breakfast in shifts!!!

Knobs

I found these beauties at the antique mall near my home. Lost and forgotten in a bucket in the corner. 

No weigh in this week.

I know, only week 2. We have been sharing the flu in my house. Thursday, my son had it. That night, my daughter joined the party. I was lucky enough to share in the festivities starting yesterday. During church. While singing in the praise band. I did not track food very well this weekend, and any weight loss would not be accurate.

I do have a a couple home projects I will be posting soon. I recently finished my new antique door knob towel rack. That post will be up this week. It turned out great. I also have some good recipes headed this way. See you again soon.

Weight Loss- Week One

6 lbs down!!! I weighed in at 150 this morning. I tried very hard last week, but had a few hiccups. Needless to say, I was shocked this morning, and very excited.
