New Addition

I'm not dead! This I can assure you. Things have just been a little bit crazy around these parts and I'm a slacker at updating you all. Weigh in on Saturday went well. I'm down 2.2 lbs. It isn't quite where I need to be to get under 200 by the end of the month, but I'll take it!..especially since it means a new pair of shoes. More on that to come.

This weekend was pretty eventful. Friday night Matthew and I headed over to our local nickelcade where we proceeded to clean house!


The rest of the weekend was spent shopping, cleaning, watching fireworks from the roof of Matt's grandma's house, and attending a pool party.

Here is the newest addition to my shoe wardrobe:



Only mine are black, not pewter. And the best part is, I only paid $29.00 for these little babies because they are from last season. (Although this season's were on the shelf and they looked exactly the same, except for the $60 price tag)

However, there are a few problems with these shoes: A) I have no idea how to wear ankle boots, I was just feeling fashionably adventurous when I bought them. and B) Matthew really hates them.

So my fashionable friends, what does one wear with ankle boots? And all of you that are attached, do you care if your significant other dislikes your clothing?

So far things are going well this week. I didn't work out at all this last weekend but I'm not too concerned because I was up and moving a lot. I plan to work out every weekday this week. (which will include an early morning session on Friday because we'll be headed to a family reunion right after I'm off work.(Have I mentioned that I hate morning workouts?))

What are your workout plans for the week? Have you tried any new exercises I should know about?

Do any of you have a recipe that I need to try this week for my kitchen adventures? Debbi, I'm counting on you!

Mm, super cute!

I like to wear ankle boots with tights, either the same colour or a high contrast, and a skirt/dress. I'm not a fan of them with bare legs, because I think they cut me off in a funny place. Also cute with jeans!

Those are very versatile! MY friend just wore a similar pair to my bridal shower yesterday and she paired them with a brightly colored sundress . . . In the spring, she wore them with skinny jeans and a top. In the fall, you can wear those with colored tights and a fall dress!

I am boring, boring, boring when it comes to shoes! I did spend the whole weekend out of town at a convention where I got to drool at all the gorgeous shoes! I think these are cute! Phooey on the boyfriend!

Your link for DEBBIE doesn't work (for me) so I'm unsure who you are counting on!!

Working at a shoe store, I can tell you that we've started getting our boots in & most of us are planning to wear them with sweater dresses & tights. But they also look really cute with black pants or jeans.

Wooohooo way to go on your new addition. They are cute. I think jeans and a nice top would look nice. But I'm no fashionista!

Unfortunately this week instead of Debbi Does Dinner Healthy, it's Debbi Does Dessert with a ton of calories! I was on vacation and didn't cook anything but junk. I now feel like I am on a vacation hangover and have NOTHING planned this week to eat though the family will have to eat something.

You need to make it so your comments aren't NON REPLY BLOGGER, then I would have been able to email you rather than leave a comment.

Tights and skinny jeans! Sexy! Your husband will change his mind about those ankle boots if you pair them with the right sort of lingerie! Just saying...

I dunno what you wear with ankle boots. My little sister says leggings. She's the thin, model type one with the fashion sense so I'll take her word for it.

As for my workout plans....I'm going to the gym on Thursday and Saturday, Zumba on Friday and Monday, Running on Sunday and Pilates on Tuesday. Wednesday will my day off.

Dogs can run free, chase tennis balls and Frisbees and enjoy four "doggie pools" where they can cool down

Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting
a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone
with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Romance, action, career, games or anything inn life can be viewed as a
comic situation and can be made into classic
comedy TV shows like the ones mentioned here. Admit it, the standard voice selections
on your GPS have gotten too be a bit routine. d round up some costumes letting you dress like your faborite character:.

The game, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, starts with a familiar scene,
the loveable oaf Homer is slacking off in the office playing some
type of Farmvfille clone, when suddenly, the reactor levels hit and BAM.

Hello World.

That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is  appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. Deep down, I'm a blogger. Writing has always helped me to see things a bit more clearly. Instead of looking at my time on this site as something I *have* to do, I plan to use it as something to help me turn into the person I want to. I saw a tweet the other day that said "Think of the person you want your children to become, now be that person." I wish I could remember who said it so I could give them credit. If it was you, let me know.  I've started eating healthier, ...

CSN Gift Card Giveaway

Image
Do you guys remember way back in June when I told you to look forward to a review and a giveaway from CSN stores? Well, that day has finally arrived. The hardest part about this giveaway was choosing what I wanted. There are so many items in so many stores! They carry everything from dining tables , to fitness equipment, to shoes and accessories. I browsed through many, many different stores but kept going back to the shoe section. (Can you blame me?) Being a good weight loss blogger I would have purchased something in the health and fitness section, but where is the fun in being good all the time? After several hours pouring over the different shoes, I picked a pair and submitted my order. Immediately afterward I got an email telling me my order had been received and that it would ship from the warehouse within two days. The first day came and went with no news from the store. The second day I received an email telling me they were checking with the warehouse to see why my item had no...

Freezing Cold

Image
Alright peeps, I'm here for your help. I usually a very cold person and I'm not talking about my personality. What I mean, is that even if a room is at 70 degrees, I'm still chilled. My toes and fingers get the worst of it. Matt learned this quickly about me and he also noticed that when I'm cold I'm not a very pleasant person. My Christmas gifts last year included a snuggie, an personal space heater, and a down blanket. I guess he likes his woman happy! Anyway, my latest problem is that after I work out and come back to my apartment to cool down I get really cold. Like teeth-chattering, body shivering-ly cold. I'm not quite sure why this is but I don't like it. Any recommendations?? Does this happen to any of you?
