playing catch-up
and here I was doing so well staying on top of my blogging efforts this year and then I miss a couple of weeks. Oh well...sh!t happens right! As with other things this year, I'm not going to beat myself up over it!
I've been finding these great motivational quotes/posters on pinterest and have been including them on a weekly basis in my weight loss journal....here are the 2 weeks I missed posting

Motivational Monday Wk ~ 5
There are a lot of things that are contributing to what I am claiming as successes already in 2012, these weekly motivational quotes are just one of them. I am including them in my weight loss journal and will share some new pages from that when I can..I'm really happy with how it's coming together and that I've made the creative time to keep up with it. My friends support when I log into myfitnesspal every day is also a huge motivator for me. I have the app on my phone, therefore always with me, so no excuses to not be staying on track food wise!! I've been doing the 30 Day Shred dvd that Jillian Michaels has and it's really working...by sticking to it every day for 21 days straight so far out of the 30 is proving to be much more beneficial than the off and on attempt of the same program last year. I am reaping the benefits and so motivated to keep at it....sleeping better, less stressed, way more energy and, maybe my favorite part...shopping for new clothes in the regular stores....it feels amazing! Oh and I'm getting a grip on the clutter/organizing too as I've been sticking pretty closely to the calendar from my simpler life
By following her one task for the day, it's freeing up time for me to play in my scrap room too...created this layout in my spare time...
It was for a challenge issued by Chelsea over at LiitD. I'm pretty happy with the way it all came together. We've met a lot of characters on both our trips to California in 2008 and Florida in 2011 and they can be hard to scrap after awhile. Oh well, it'll all get done at some point...lol!
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Scrapbook Sunday
It's been a looong time since I shared anything scrappy/crafty so I wanted to do that today...besides, I missed posting my Fab 5 Friday so this can take it's place this week...
A layout about taking the boys to see the Blue Man group while in Florida last Spring break...it was AWESOME!! Carsyn even got pulled from the audience to participate on stage...sooo cool! The boys loved the show...Brian and I knew they would as soon as he and I saw them in Vegas a couple years ago.
This layout was created with a challenge issued over at LiitD last summer during the members online summer long crop. Chelsea challenges us to use "I hope you never forget" in your title. I wanted to remind Zack of a few things as he prepared to leave home and move to University.
This was another title challenge from the online summer crop that another member had issued. The title on your layout needed to be "Happiness Is" Now there a lot of things that make me happy but these photos, and the feeling I had when I put these "fat" pants on still brings a huge smile to my face.
Now that I have my own scrap/craft room,(there was one good thing about Zack moving to University...lol) I plan to spend more time creating and will be able to share more often. My addiction to Pinterest is also helping with creative mojo. Do you Pin?

Fab 5 Friday
This week has been so crazy busy...I feel like I've been rushed/on the go everyday...looking forward to the weekend that's for sure!
making the bed before leaving the house...may seem like a no brainer to most but mornings fly by in this house so making time to get this done each day was a big deal for me
managing to make decent suppers for the family despite the hectic schedule we all had this week
the number of nights I actually managed to stay awake long enough to read before falling asleep
the number of times I worked out...need to up this next week...easing myself back into it is over
making the right food choices each day to keep me within or under my calorie allotment as indicated @ myfitnesspal
Weekend plans include pizza and movie night with the family, some shopping, laundry/housework and for sure some creating!
How about you?

Fab 5 Friday
Losing 5 pounds this week after getting back on track with healthier eating, loggin into myfitnesspal, drinking lots of water every day and starting workouts again!!
Staying on top of the Organize and Declutter challenge I found at My Simpler Life
only working 3 days this week topped the highlight list for sure
two nights in a row I was able to get into my scrap room to create...that was fabulous! I don't normally have time to create during the week...hoping this continues for 2012!
I feel great...physically and mentally!!
I hope your new year too has gotten off on the right foot!
Have a great weekend!!
