Here Comes The Snow

It's days like these I do not like having an office facing the window. Ugh. I am hoping this storm isn't as bad as they're saying it will be, but somehow, I have a feeling I won't be on time for work tomorrow. I'm already assuming the worst and I'm thinking I will have to shovel before I can even get out of the driveway. Yuck.

So, 2.4 lbs down. I'm not happy about it. If you recall, as of Sunday morning, I was 3 lbs down. What happened? A few margaritas for the super bowl... that's what. Sometimes, my will power kind of sucks, obviously.

That's all I have.

Hodge Podge

• First let me just say that I HATE SNOW!! We got a bunch of it here in Ohio over the weekend... and more is on the way. Even after all of the shoveling, my car barely makes it up the driveway. I would be oh so happy if I never ever saw snow again!! Saturday Morning was terrible, but since M has 4 wheel drive, we decided to go grocery shopping anyway. It's just snow, I don't understand why people must drive like idiots. Isn't it common sense that if you drive 72 mph weaving in and out of traffic in a Rent A Center van on a snow covered highway that hasn't been completely cleared yet, you will probably end up in an accident (yes, we saw said van crash into another car before hitting the wall on Route 8... stupid). Also, there is no need to drag along at 10 mph the. whole. way. It's not THAT bad.

• Let's see... weight loss... M changed the battery in the scale since it was dying. So even though weigh in isn't until Tuesday, I decided to weigh myself yesterday morning. I was down 3 lbs. This is great considering I lost nothing last week.

• We checked out phones at Verizon. I think I have it narrowed down to the LG Dare, or the LG enV. Still thinking about this. I haven't had a new phone in forever.

• Since my Colts blew it last night, I currently owe M $5. This annoys me. Not that owe M $5, but the Colts should have won that game!

• Since I have moved in with M, I watch entirely too much TV. With the exception of showering, going to JCPenny and Target, I watched TV ALL DAY yesterday. When I was still living by myself, I didn't even have cable. And I was ok with that. Now, I'm pretty sure I have an unhealthy obsession with shows on A&E such as, Hoarders and I Survived. I also am just a little embarrassed to admit that I hate missing new episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. This needs to stop.

Have a fantastic week, kids. I'm off to catch up on your blogs.

Phones

My cell phone contract with AT&T is up next month. I will be switching to Verizon, as M and most people I talk to have Verizon. I currently have this old school phone...
Yeah, it's old and pretty beat up. So I've been thinking of a new phone I may want. Maybe something like this...

Now, let me point out that talking on the phone is one of my least favorite things to do. Actually, I mainly need a phone to text since I do that way more often. I don't think I want to go with a Blackberry or anything of that sort.

Suggestions?

Here It Is

Here is the dress... I know, the picture isn't that great. You can also check it out here.


It's simple, but isn't it fabulous?

Yes, I am ordering it online. Some people told me that was not a good idea. I'm not ordering for a little while yet. I'm going to check out bridal stores with my sister in law and try on similar dresses to the one above to make sure I will like the way it looks. Seriously, the dress is perfect and I might as well order it online for $99.99, right?

For Tania, check out this site, and this one and that one, too if you are interested in doing the same thing. I also really liked this dress, but it came in second place.

Onto other things.

The weigh in? Well, it was exactly the same as last week. I lost nothing. After some recent sodium bombs, I can't say I was really surprised. Not to mention, I haven't been drinking nearly enough water. Also, I am going to lower my calorie intake on the days that I am not working out. Hopefully next week I will see better results.

Watches and Wedding Dresses

It was a somewhat busy weekend, but we got a lot accomplished. We also did some much needed grocery shopping... which ended up costing way too much, but at least there is fruit in the house again!

I also bought M's Valentine's Day/Birthday present.

ESQ (by Movado) Fusion. I love it. Of course I didn't even wait and M is currently sporting this on his wrist. It was a little on the pricey side, hence the reason it is a Valentine's Day/Birthday (his in March) gift. M doesn't ask for much and is always spoiling me. He has been wanting this watch for a while now. We saw this at the same place M purchased my engagement ring and every time we are in the mall, he has to stop by and take a look. Since the guy was willing to give me a little bit of a break because of M's recent ring purchase, I thought it was totally worth it.

In other news, my eating has been pretty much on track. We even went to Olive Garden and even though I totally planned ahead for all of my calories during the day (and worked out), after tracking my meals from the weekend online, my sodium levels were a little bit out of control. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't totally screw up tomorrow's weigh in.

Let's see...

I found a wedding dress!! And the best part?? It was $99 - yep, only $99!! It's not ordered yet because I totally plan on losing weight before September, but it is definitely the dress I want. Simple... I'm all about simple. I will try to post it soon... when I try to save the picture, it cuts part of it off. If I can figure out how to fix it, I will get the picture posted this week.

Have a wonderful week!
