It's a new year!

Ok, I am officially motivated to work on weight loss this year! Not that I wasn’t before, but I’ve really got to get this thing going in order to better my life! I started on January 2nd and ran for 24 minutes. Then on the 3rd I went for 23 minutes. Of course, when I say run I really mean a walk/run combo because I’m not in shape enough to run that long! I was really motivated to do something over the weekend, but we ended up working on the yard Saturday and Sunday so I figured that was enough. I raked leaves and gathered sticks and my arms are actually a little sore. I intend to run again this evening even though I have some terrible allergies going right now after all that yard work!

At work we are having a weight loss challenge for Q1 which will go until the end of March. It’s based on percentage and not actual weight loss, but hopefully having the constant weigh-ins will keep me going! I also bought a month long membership to the boxing gym down the street. I went for a bit last year but didn’t use my whole month. I hope to start at the end of January so it will keep me going all through February! Maybe once I lose some weight Ill share my actual numbers!

Wish me luck!

The 45 President's of the United States Song!

Image
With the presidential inauguration of Donald J. Trump only hours away today, I felt like it was appropriate to update the old President's Song I memorized in 4th grade. For some reason the song has always stuck with me, and it has been quite handy throughout the years when answering bar trivia questions! The song originally stopped after Clinton, ("Bush and Clinton and who knows some day it might be you!") but I have updated it as we have added new presidents over the years! I can't seem to find the original song anywhere, so if you happen to have it please post it in the comments! Below are the new lyrics and I hope to eventually make it into a video with the presidents pictures! Link to song: https://youtu.be/OQZzOLx5EQ8 Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. These are the U.S. Presidents all lined up in a row! Adam, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, and Tyler. Polk, and Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson. Grant, ...

Romantic ideas

Image
I stumbled across this really cute idea to create a crossword puzzle for the hubby to figure out. You can make all of the clues related to your life together. Your first date, where you first kissed, where he proposed. So fun! You can generate a crossword puzzle online here . There was another idea to make a word search for your hubby.The words could be to ask him out on a date for later that evening. After he finds all the words he has to unscramble them into the sentence. Such a creative and romantic idea! I found a word search generator too here . Even another idea would be to create a matching game with pictures of the two of you. This would be great for long distance relationships and there's an online generator available here . Now I just need to think of clues.... :)

Baby on the way!

Image
Wow - It's been a year since my last post! We have quite an update to share, we are expecting our first baby on November 19th! We already know that it is a little girl and we have started gathering baby items we need. Luckily, an awesome lady at work said she is done having children so she cleaned out her baby stash and gave it all to me for free! We got a bouncy seat, jumper, swing, pack and play, floor mat, mobile, and walker! Our baby girl is going to be living large! LOL. now, all we need to do is buy a crib and get this little girl some clothes to wear! We are planning on having a shower in October so we will see what we get then. Oh, and we cant decide on a name to save our lives... That should be fun! Poor girl may be the nameless baby at the hospital for a while!
