New furniture! Woohoo!

Friday, December 04, 2015
Happy Friday! Thank you, Jerome's Furniture in Corona for my Christmas present.  I love it! Our old couch had HAD it.  It was leather and one little split turned into a shredded mess.  I forgot to take pics before it went to the dump. :(  Used to have to sweep pieces of leather up twice daily.  So annoying. To give you some perspective...

Wood-look tile I'm in love!!!  We got the tiles at Home Depot and they're only $1.49 each.  It's about $16 for...

6 Months Later...

Tuesday, October 13, 2015
I'm back!  We all knew I would be at some point.  Last time I posted (back in April!) we had failed our Whole 30 Challenge. I'm sad to say that I've been terrible lately, food/drink wise.  Healthy?  Not so much.  My rolls have increased considerably because of it.  No bueno.  But I've decided that crazy diets and "challenges" don't really work for me. ...

Monday, April 27, 2015
Happy Monday! Okay so this Friday the 30th would mark the end of our Whole 30 challenge.  Would  being the operative word.  Yep, I may as well admit we failed.  Hard.  We were great, golden, for the first half, I swear.  But Daniel had to travel 3 weeks out of this month and we felt cheated.  The only solution was to go to...

Halfway through Whole 30 and Bathroom Makeover

Wednesday, April 15, 2015
Howdy!    I cannot WAIT to weigh myself when this challenge is over.  My size 8 jeans are so baggy now, it's awesome.  I can actually fit into those ill-advised jeggings I bought on clearance months ago! Haha!  We're on day 16 today and still going strong!  I don't even really think about it anymore.  The key is preparedness.   I cooked like 3...

Whole 30, Day 10!

Thursday, April 09, 2015
Good morning! As I sit here drinking, and actually enjoying my black coffee, I thought I'd bring y'all an update on my Whole 30 challenge.  We're on day 10.  Woohoo!  1/3 of the way through. Overall it hasn't been hard.  Shopping at Costco was a drag, but we prevailed.  Damn you, delicious samples!  I can feel my pants are a lot more loose...

Wednesday, March 25, 2015
Hello there bloggisphere! I guess you can say I've been on a bit of a hiatus. Hiatus from blogging aaaaand hiatus from dieting. For realz tho.
