Weight Watchers - Week 9

Good Morning! I am happy to report that I lost 4 pounds this week. YAHOO!!! I had stayed the same last week so I was hoping for a great number this week. Phew! I am now down 20 pounds in 9 weeks. I was hoping I could accomplish that goal in 8 weeks but I had 2 weeks of a zero pound loss so it threw me off a bit. I am glad to be back on track and just waiting for the weather to get a bit nicer so I can start walking. C'mon SPRING!!!

Weight Watchers - Week 8

Well, it was another tough week. I will blame my so-called "friend" (NOT!!!) for wanting to snack uncontrollably. I also went out with some friends, my cousin and my hubby Friday night and had a few drinks. The next morning I was sooo needing food and I quite enjoyed my steak and cheese omelette with homefries and toast. Oh yeah!!! I am just happy to report that I DID NOT GAIN this week as I thought I would have. I stayed the same which I'm extremely happy about. PHEW! I need to get back on track and have been good so far today. I've also planned my meals for the next couple of days so that usually helps me. I am going to a friends for an overnight scrapbooking get together Saturday so I plan to enjoy myself but hopefully won't go too overboard. I promise to post something other than WW sometime soon. I have one card to put up for now but I did it a few weeks ago. I haven't done anything lately and hope to get some scrapping done this weekend! Send me some mojo... PLEASE :)

Weight Watchers - Week 7

Well, this past week I was without internet for several days. What a pain that is... especially when you are otherwise always online!!! I got it back on Friday but have been away for the weekend. Anyhow! I just wanted to post my weight loss for last week which I usually report on Wednesdays. I had lost 1.5 pounds and am now down to a 16 pound loss, weighing 176.5. I'm officially halfway to where I want to be. My goal was 32 pounds to get down to what I weighed when I met my hubby. Of course I had never gotten the last 10 pounds off then so we'll see what happens. I have not been having a good week/weekend eating and counting my points sooo I'm not expecting a loss this week but hope to get myself back on track. I want the weight to be off by May for my girls scrapbooking/shopping weekend at the CKC Convention :)

Weight Watchers - Week 6

Call me Brittany 'cause OOPS, I did it again :) I forgot to post my weight yesterday. I actually didn't have a loss this week but I didn't gain either which is fine with me! I didn't have a "bad" week per se but I had several days where I really felt hungary. Plus with it being Valetine's Day and all, I went out to dinner with my hubby and quite enjoyed my meal. I got Chicken Pomodoro which was this twirly pasta with a white wine type sauce, sundried tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese and olives. It was soooo delicious. The next time I want to blow my points, I know what I'm having!!! hehe I am back on track and hoping for a good week next week to make up for it. Let's hope for for the best!!!

Weight Watchers - Week 5 (a day late!!!)

Wow, I totally spaced posting my weight loss yesterday. I thought of it in the morning but got busy and then headed out for a bit. At any rate, I lost another 2.5 pounds this week bringing my total to 14.5 and I'm down to 178. I'm almost halfway to my goal which was to weigh what I did when I met my husband. That magic number is 160.5 which was a size 8 to me... gotta love stretch denim! LOL and then only another 10 pounds or so to lose from there. WOOO HOOO, give me a cookie! HAHA

My Cute Stamps Sweet Chocolate

Oh my god, can I just say how adorable this stamp set is??? It is called Sweet Chocolate by My Cute Stamps. I had never even heard of the company until I was browsing some cards on SCS and saw a card done with a different stamp set so I went off to check it out. Of course I bought 2 sets, this one and one other with the cutest owl, birdies and branch I've seen yet!!! They don't have a ton of sets but if you're like me, you'll want them all. Anyways, back to my card! I used the chocolate dipped strawberry from the set and embossed it with chocolate scented embossing powder. MMMMM, chocolate!!! The sentiment is from a $1 set I found at AC Moore over my weekend travels. I think the background paper is MM (bought it last year) and the little gems I found at Target in the $1 section (though they were more than $1). I have a couple of girlfriends who I'm thinking of sending this card to so let's see who the lucky one will be!!! Or maybe I'll just make a couple more! hehe

Stampin' Up Like it a Latte

I just loved the black and white word printed paper for this card because it reminded me of newspaper, not that I ever read one! I liked the concept though... morning coffee and the paper :) I used some more of those great little hearts by K & Co. throughout the steam to make it Valentine-ish along with the splash of hot pink. I used the MS mini heart border punch which I was extremely lucky to find at Michael's last weekend. I found the punch, lost the baby's hat. Oops! LOL I still feel like something is missing from the corners of this card but I tried punching photo corners, didn't like it. Tried stamping hearts, didn't like it. Tried adding the little hearts like are in the steam, didn't like that. SOOO it is what it is! Hope you like it anyway!!!
