**Day 1**

Okay so I slept in until 10am again but I didn't get up and go straight to the computer today. My sweetheart brought me a hot tea to start and made me a pancake with a poached egg. I feel so loved! He takes such good care of me. I as waiting for my Wii Fit to give me a lecture since I haven't used it in 34 days. I actually have gained 2.2lbs since I've last used it, putting me at 251.1lbs. (44.49 BMI) I got 30 minutes of exercise in today.

My Bedroom

I blogged about how I wanted this bedroom design by the end of 2010. Well that totally didn't happen. I at least got my bedroom the way I want it. Still a bunch of red but it's now just splashes of it. My honey isn't a big fan of the canopy but I LOVE it. The only teeny, tiny thing missing is a rug to match. But really that's a minor thing. So what do you think? I love it!

Once again...

It's a new year and I have a lot of rambling on to do so I figured instead of boring my honey to death I'd bore anyone who's listening. Anyways this year I made several resolutions and I haven't really been holding myself accountable to them.

1. I want to lose 50 lbs and I've got a plan but that's my other blog 31 Weeks 'Til 31 Years.
2. I want to improve my credit score this year.  So far I've got my credit report from TransUnion. I've got a credit score from CreditKarma.com (not a FICA). I've made my budget. Now I've just got to get a job to pay off all my bills.
3. Save an emergency fund. Following Dave Ramsey's baby steps plan I'm going to start with $1000 and then our 3 month plan is to add another $1400.
4. I need to really start thinking about another car. I've got almost 170,000 miles and it's time to be prepared.
5. Finish decorating the apartment. The only room in the house that I love is my bedroom. My living room is about 1/2 way there but the spare/storage room needs some organization. My kitchen has no organization either.

So I'll be adding great deals when I see them, as well as photos of my shopping and trying to keep track of my spending. And rambling on about who know what... :D

(220 Days To Go)

Hee Hee I have to confess... I haven't started a thing. Today is actually the first day I 've even really thought about my blog. Horrible no? Anyhow I finally got my blog to load a design after fighting with it a while. I like it. So it's going on 2pm and haven't done anything but been on the computer. Sure I didn't wake up until 10am so it's only been 4 wasted hours.

Today hasn't been off to the best start is an overstatement. I'm never going to get anywhere with the way I eat. So far for breakfast I've only had a cold pork chop, a handful of chocolates, and a diet coke. Eek! I know ideally I should have at least a bowl of grits and some egg whites with a hot tea. I actually have been thinking about my diet. Last night while looking up financial information I came across a site that Dave Ramsey endorses that I thought looks pretty interesting, E-MEALZ - Menu Planning. I might have to try it and if I do I'll let you know more later on.

So I'm going to make some goals. Again.

• No more coffee -I just overdo it with the cream and sugar. Tea gives me the same buzz and it tastes good with Splenda.
• Water- Yep it's a must for every ones list. I have a water filter and TONS of bottled water so nothings stopping me there but myself.
• No computer until I've worked out- Ouch! That one is going to hurt me the most.
• Weigh in every Friday- If I'm on the wii I'll be checking my weight everyday but I'll only take into serious consideration my Friday weigh ins. And still not to put too much priority into what the scale says. I just want to lose a couple pant sizes and I'll be ecstatic.
• Clean house- I'm kinda lazy when it comes to that and I've got a great man that picks up my slack. I really need to get up off the couch from time to time and get moving.

Alright maybe my fat butt should get up and do something. I think I'll start with getting a bottled water. I'll check in later.

(227 Days To Go)

Okay to be exact I've got 32 weeks and 3 days until my birthday or 227 days. I slept oh so good and did not want to get out of bed. But here I am almost noon and I'm getting a little worked up. But I need to get some breakfast. So I'll be back.

**Wow Time Flies**

Okay it's going on 1am and I'm still struggling to get a design to load... but I'm kinda pumped up for another new beginning. I've got just over 31 weeks until I turn 31. I figured hey that would be a great blog title and so here I am. My honey and I have been feeling a little bad about all the time we've spent with our Rock Band and how VERY little time we've spent using our wii for working out. Tomorrow should be the start but I'm already anticipating me being lazy since I stayed up all night. It's crazy how I usually get my energy late in the day.

So I've got some goals for the upcoming weeks...

• Use the wii at least 3 times a week breaking a sweat.
• Start menu planning Mondays
• Try to track my meals Weight Watchers style
• Get back to using Spark People
• Start walking at the park with my honey

31 weeks and other than the reward of being more active it would be great to have something to look forward to as little rewards. What to get, what to get...

• I've been wanting an Omron HJ-112 Pedometer forever now
• A heart monitor would be nifty
• Some cute workout clothes would make me feel good when I go to the park
• I already have the Payless version of Shape Ups but what girl could ever have too many shoes :)

What are my weight goals? I need to lose about 100 lbs but I doubt I can expect to lose that much. A pound or two a week is supposed to be reasonable. Eh. Maybe. I'd love to lose 50 pounds and get down below 200. I'd be happy with anything were my wii fit board doesn't go Oh! every time I step on.

Oh well enough rambling for tonight, I best get to bed.

Dish Soap Stock Up!

I was able to get almost 30 bottles of Gain dish soap this week. I was SO excited to see it on sale at Walgreens. I've been having a hard time getting my local Walmart to accept my $1.00 coupons when they are priced $.99. With Walgreen's new coupon policy they accepted my coupon even with them being on sale for $.89 Yay! for Walgreens!!

This week they also had Vick's Sinex on sale Buy 2 recieve a $5 Register Reward. After coupons and taxes I only spent $2.81 oop for 2 packages of Sinex. I turned around and used my $5 RR to purchase TP.

And while I was out shopping at SEVERAL different stores I used my coupon for $1 off Vicks product and stocked up on 20 packages of Cough Drops.

Nivea Lip Product Stock Up!!!

Walgreens had an amazing special this week of Nivea Lip Products for $1. And at the same time we recieved a $1/1 coupon and $2/2 coupon from Red Plum in the mail. So I gathered up all the inserts I could from the neighbors and I placed an order with the store manager for his next shipment. Yay! I love when coupons line up so nice and easy.  To top things off there was a money maker on the Sinex products. Buy 2 recieve a $5 RR so after a $4 coupon I spent $2.81 with tax oop. I did three transactions and then used those $5 RR to buy Cottonelle and recieved a $3 RR for buying a Cottonelle TP and Cottonelle Fresh Wipes (using my free coupon that I got in the mail) I recieved a $3 RR.

I love Walgreens!!! And we just moved and have a Walgreens with in walking distance!

Thank you Wild for Wags!
