Snowy Day....

Sorry a day late with this post, but yesterday it snowed hard. The commute to was chaotic. I decided to take Nohe'a to school - that took forever. But once I made it to Bangerter, no problems. However, the other side was bumper to bumper. Here's the shot I took on my camera phone:



Then last night, I did some last minute coupon shopping. Albie's usually begins marking down some of their sale items the night before. The GUM toothbrushes were going to be $1.00, then with our $.75 off coupon, would make 'em $.25 a piece. You can never have too many toothbrushes. Well, as I was shopping, I came across these cute GUM Crayola toothbrushes. On top of that, it was a value pack of 2. Can't beat that...actually, I take that back. We use to get toothbrushes for FREE, but hey, $.25 is still a good deal in my book.



Now to this morning - every now and then, I will weigh myself. This morning when I got on the scale it read 214.5 lbs. I was so excited...I know, how can I be excited weighing that much - well, I began at 263 lbs. I set a goal that when I lose 50 lbs (weigh 213 lbs) and maintain it for at least a week or two, then I will treat myself. This is what I will be buying for myself:



I know...I could just cheat and buy it now, but as with sticking and committing to something, don't want to cheat myself. I'll be sure to post when I hit that goal and can maintain it. Just had to share my excitin news 'cause I'm getting closer and closer!

Marie -
Like you said, it's therapeutic (spelling??) writing and also reading others' blogs. I love yours too. I stop by every now and then to see what cute things your family is up to. When you do have your little one, definitely check it out. If you like latin music and dancing, then you will like Zumba. It looks easy, but it definitely kicks butt and burns calories - and lots of fun!
