Day 1: WW Points Plus

Day 1: I’ve started full force with the WW Points Plus program today.  I waited too long this morning to eat so since I was STARVING I did splurge a bit at first but tried to make up for it during lunch. 

Breakfast – 11 PTS


- Thomas Cinnamon Swirl bagel w/ 1tsp margarine – 8pts

- Starbucks Mocha Light Frappuccino bottle – 3pts

Snack – ZERO PTS

- 1 small banana

Lunch – 7 PTS

- 2 slices Nature’s Own WhiteWheat – 3pts

- 5 slices Oscar Mayer Oven Roasted Turkey Breast – 1pts

- 1 slice Kraft Deli Fresh 2% milk reduced fat swiss cheese – 2pts

- Mustard – 0pts

- 4 small pineapple chunks – 0pts

- 1 cup grapes – 0pts

- 2 tps of pistachios – 1pts

- Bigelow Green Tea with Mango 8oz – 0pts

It’s 1pm and I’ve used 17 pts.  I should have made better choices however I’m not too upset.  Usually a sausage biscuit from McDonalds would have replaced that bagel.  Dr Pepper would have replaced the green tea and chips would have beat out the fruit.  So all in all I’m pleased with the results so far.  This has left me with 24 pts left over for dinner.  I’m still unsure as to what I will be having for dinner but its nice to know I have enough points left to have a satisfying dinner.  So day 1 hasn’t been bad so far.

2011 - It's resolution time....

WOW!  I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by.  I've been through so much this year and I'm so grateful to have the friends and family that I have around me.  Having Makenna was a huge milestone for me and I absolutely LOVE being a mother.  I feel like I've grown alot this year but there is still so much I want to improve on.  So I'm making a rather large resolution this year.  My New Year's resolution for 2011 is to improve overall mind, body, & soul.  I know that doesn't sound like a big resolution but here's why I say it will be.  I've created a list of things I want to do, need to do, or know that I want to improve on.  Some might say it seems a little silly but they are definitely things I need to work on.  I plan on reviewing this list from time to time to make sure that I'm sticking with them so that I can keep up with my resolution. 

• Eat healthier.  I'd like to try and eat more organic and less processed foods.  I also need to watch my caloric intake so that I can lose the weight I want to lose this year.
• Meet my WW goal this year of 70lbs.
• Go to the gym on a regular basis.
• Attend church more frequently and find a permanent church for Makenna.

• Create a savings for myself and for Makenna.
• De-clutter my house.
• Set up a monthly brunch for the girls so we can have adult time.  =)
• Become more tech savvy with my iPad.
• Stay more on top of everyone's birthdays and special occasions.
• Take Makenna to at least 2 different zoos.
• Visit more dog parks with Asia.
• Work on being more punctual.
• Avoid saying things such as hate, shut up, retard, loser, etc.
• Be a better mom to Makenna and spend more quality time with her.
• Go back to school.
• Learn and practice meditation.
• Find love.....

New Year's Eve 2011

Originally I planned on staying at home with Makenna for a nice quiet night far far away from all the drunks.  I figured I'd put her to bed early, watch a movie ring in the New Year at home alone.  Well...
CHANGE OF PLANS!  =)

We ended up going to dinner at Blue Oak Grill which was super yummy with all of my family that was in town.  They had a live band there and Makenna loved the music.  She had so much fun laughing and dancing around.  Afterwards we went to Chess & Maggie's house for their annual NYE party.  They are our old neighbors and since I've known them they've always thrown the best parties.  Usually its the adults inside and all the "kids" outside playing beer pong.  I was kinda worried since there is so much alcohol involved at their parties but it was a great night.  Makenna fit right in with everyone.  She particularly enjoyed watching the beer pong going on in the garage.  lol  I was going to leave a little early but with her wide awake and having so much fun we went ahead and stayed for the countdown.  At midnight I had my daughter in one arm and carefully held on to my glass of champagne with the other.  And when everyone received their New Year's kiss I got mine from the most important person in my life.  =)  This by far has been the best NYE ever.  I will make sure and post pics soon!  Happy 2011!!!!!
