The Holidays Made Me Do It...

Monday, November 28, 2016
Would you believe...? Hi there.  Well, so much for my amazing 30 day challenge.  I fell off the wagon and into a bottle of wine.  LOL  It would appear that I can only last 2 weeks maximum on any "challenge" now.  I'm not happy about it, but on the good-job-Holly side of things I only had 1 piece of pizza this whole month!...

Weekend Roundup

Monday, November 14, 2016
Howdy! I have no idea why the cowboy theme, okay?  Why do I do anything?  We had a very productive weekend.  I put the hubby to work, big time.  He painted our mantel, spray painted our back door which was gross, the list goes on.  All because we got a new TV.  Ours was 10 years old and the sound was finally starting...

2nd Friday Check-In

Friday, November 11, 2016
Hola my peeps! Well, it's Day 11 and while I haven't been as strict this week as I'd hoped, I am still down in weight.  To date, since the 1st, I'm down 6 lbs.  I'd say that's progress!  I took some pics this morning and I don't know that I see a difference yet but at least I'm heading in the right direction. ...

DIY

Art Project!

Monday, November 07, 2016
Happy Monday! Said no one, ever.  Haha jk jk.  I love the time change.  I had no trouble getting up early to work out a little this morning and go on a long walk with the dogs. Before I get to my weekend art project I'll just tell you that I was good this weekend, diet-wise except for 2 meals.  We went out...

First Friday check in!

Friday, November 04, 2016
Happy Friday! I'm exhausted.  I need to get used to having a baby in the house again.  Not a human baby of course but our new 6 month old mutt of a rescue, Candy.  She's very hyper and like any baby, gets up several times a night.  Last night it was probably 3 times.  Once to go potty (she's pretty good about this...

November Challenge, Day 1 (With pictures, eek!)

Tuesday, November 01, 2016
Hi there! Halloween has come and gone and I only ate 2 Almond Joy's last night.  To tell you the truth, I've just about OD'd on candy and wine lately so I am really ready for this month.  I'm basically making this "challenge" up as I go but here are the main ideas:  No Alcohol Eat Clean (as much as possible but I'm...

#truth (Weight woes and maybe more...)

Monday, October 24, 2016
Hi guys,      I need to do something.  Let me just take you back to when I did my 90 day Visalus challenge:  In 3 months I lost about 11 lbs.  I started around 139lbs and got all the way down to 129lbs for a couple of days...  It's funny when you reach your goals or a goal how easy it is (at...

Bathroom Update and Re-covered Dining Chairs

Tuesday, October 04, 2016
Howdy! So back on the post titled 6 Months Later I posted "before" pictures of my bathroom if you wanna check them out again.  And here are some poorly lighted recent pictures!  These are after paint, baseboards, curtains and wall art. Is that off-center rug driving you nuts too? LOL  I got the pair of curtains at Fallas for like $5 and bonus...

Adventures with Pedometers!

Friday, September 30, 2016
I've always heard from my friends that Fitbit's are addictive.  I did not believe that one little bit. Recently, however, I downloaded a pedometer (step counter) app called Pacer.  It got 5 stars where the Fitbit app only got 3 1/2.  I have an iPhone 6 if you're wondering.  Anyway, I'm on day 3 of having this app and guess what...  I'M ADDICTED!!!...

Reaching the Masses

Tuesday, July 05, 2016
Hi there! I just thought I'd check in and say "Hi".  I've been so bad about blogging lately but I received a comment notification in my email over the weekend so it reminded me to get my butt back on here.  What I love about a blog is that they show you where your traffic comes from.  It turns out that I've had...

I'm alive!

Tuesday, May 24, 2016
What? It's only been 6 months since my last post...  Okay, yeah it's been awhile.  Mostly it's because I became the only person in my office at work and got super busy.  And also I'm lazy. I actually got a case of social media overload too.  I've recently deleted Facebook from my phone which has helped me be more present at home (sad...
