Happy "Eat Your Body Weight in Candy and Chocolates" Day!

So, I've been a tad bit quiet here lately. I do apologize. I've just been trucking along my path to smaller-dom. Not too much excitement or stories to tell for the past few weeks; except my children got to see the most snow they've ever seen in their little lifetimes. Two snow days and numerous memories made were well worth the two days off work. Not to mention, they got to witness their hot mess of a momma sledding.

 That went a little something like this...

I also made AND ate some Rice Krispy treats during the great Kannapolis Blizzard of 2014...you know how healthy those are! My sister in-law threatened to tell Paige (Next Level Fitness) on me since I was being bad. I mean, I had enough time to bake and eat a whole cake, but I didn't! I kept it within the means of marshmellowy and rice crispy-goodness.

It felt a little something like this...

Speaking of food, here is a list of things to NOT buy your "healthy lifestyle attempting" significant other/friend on Valentine's day:

1) A whole bag/box of chocolate/cookies/candies etc. This is just wrong on so many levels.
2) Conversation hearts. Not because they are unhealthy, because they are gross.
3) A Cheesecake Factory gift card. Need I say more?
4) Victoria's Secret Gift card (unless you know for a FACT that she can wear their sizes)

Here are some safe alternatives:

1) Flowers. Unless they are bacon roses, then we may have a prob.
2) Gift card to where you know they shop.
3) Edible Fruit arrangement.
4) Jewelry. Unless they are like me and could careless about the bling...but if you are buying them a gift, you better know them well enough to know if they like jewelry. Just sayin'.
5) Something they've continuously talked about wanting but never go get themselves.

You're a smart cookie, you'll figure something out :)

Ok, back on track here...

I was going to have my second set of measurements done yesterday, but the snowmageddon deterred that from happening. Maybe tomorrow? We will see! I am anxious to see the progress I've made in a little over a month. I know I've lessened my load some, but has it started to visibly shrink?

Until next time..
