IT IS A......

No laughing at my lack of artistic skills!!!

Have fun playing in the snow!

Another Great Deal @ Target...

Since I am starting my own Biggest Loser diet tomorrow, I needed to stock up on healthy, low cal food.

Target has Wight Watchers Smart Ones meal and desserts on sale this week for $1.89. Purchase 10 and you get a $5 gift card. However, I noticed on some of the frozen meals there was a $4 off when you buy 10 peelie... so after the $5 gift card and the $4 coupon they cost .99 each!!

Our New Years Resolution...

I wasn't really sure if I wanted to post about my/our resolutions or not. For awhile, I was thinking, no...because what if I fail? Then I thought, really, at least I can say I tried, right? So here goes.. below are our / my resolutions for 2010....

- First and foremost... having/making time each day to have real time with the Lord and being consistant with that.

- Second, bringing that to our children. We have a family devotions book by Josh McDowell. There is a devotion for everyday and they are targeted for children.

- Third, we will be watching every penny, building up our emergency fund and working towards getting out of debt. Dave Ramsey will be our friend this year!!!

-Fourth - Lose weight..... 'Nuff said..

There you have it! Any resolutions for you?

Hidden Target Deal....

I found at the two Target stores I went to adorable pajama sets in the toddler section that were ringing up 75% off. The brands are Just One Year - Carters and Nick and Nora. Below are pics of the patterns I purchased for our two year old for next year. They are Christmas themed which I am sure is why they are on sale, however, in the older kids and adults, Christmas themed pajamas were clearly marked clearance, but not at such a reduced price. The infants and toddler are marked full price at $14.99, but scanning for $3.74. Take a look below....
This one is really a deal, you get two sets of pjs for $3.74..

My two year old loves cats or meow meows as she calls them, hopefully she still will next year!

The bottoms on these are a very soft flannel... so adorable!

The original price for this one was $8.99, so I scored this one for $2.24!!


So if you have an infant or toddler in your life that you buy for, check it out and get a jump start for next year!!!

The Wii, Biggest Loser, The Ring and Me....

When it comes to dieting the motivation behind it varies. Some people diet strictly for health reasons, some diet because of an upcoming event where they may run into people they haven't seen for awhile,(ie family reunion, high school reunion - yikes!)
For some, usually those who have just a little to lose, have a dress or outfit that they would love to be able to wear again.. that is sort of where I am at.

Sure the healthy thing to do for me would be dieting...not motivation enough.

Family reunions, well..they have seen me this way for awhile, so there would be no big surprise! As far as high school reunion..not too worried, I only graduated with two other people ( I will explain another time).

I don't have an outfit that I need / want to squeeze into, but I do have something that I would love to wear again....on the correct finger again...you probably have guessed it, my wedding ring.

About 2 pregnancies ago, I outgrew it. I could have and probably should have had it resized... but then where would I ever find motivation to lose weight, right?
Anyway, with the help of the Wii and the Biggest Loser Wii game, I am going to fit into my wedding ring once again. And since I do better when I am held accountable, I am going to blog about this weight loss journey.
The plan is to start January 5th, that is when the next season of Biggest Loser begins.

By the way, because I want you to come back to my blog, I won't be posting any pics of me on the scale in the usual Biggest Loser attire!! Oh and I will let you know how much I want to lose, but I am thinking I will go ahead and keep my starting weight quiet for now...
