My Weight Loss Journey!

So it Begins....
Well, I have decided to go on a diet. I figured if I were to post about it, I would be more likely to stick to it. So, I signed up for www.myfitnesspal.com to help me keep track of everything and put a ticker here on my blog page. So, I won't weigh myself again until next Saturday. I am really liking myfitnesspal.com it has a app for the phones too. The app has a barcode scanner included so you can just scan the barcodes and it adds all the calorie information into your day. Makes things much easier. I have been doing pretty good the past couple days with dieting but now it is official! I just wish I had someone here to do it with. I did it before with my cousin Andrea when we did weight watchers and we were both able to do good. Oh Well, I can do this even if it's alone!
It's Almost Time...
It's that time of the year again that gets us busy...and broke! Jacobs birthday is coming up August 9th (his party is on the 5th though), September 7th or so Kyle starts 2nd grade (boy does time fly!), October 16th is Kyles 8th birthday, mine and Kens 11 year anniversary, and Kens brothers birthday (yes, all on the same day!), November is Thanksgiving, December is Christmas and my birthday, and then in January is Kens birthday. So, yes BUSY and BROKE until next year! LOL
At least they are all fun things to celebrate so it will be well worth it! Jacobs birthday is going to be in Yakima at a park that has a pool so everyone can go swimming after the party. Kyle and I have been thinking of having him a Halloween birthday party. I told him we could probably wait an extra week so its closer to Halloween and decorate the house all up so his friends can come in costumes and stuff. Any suggestions to help make that funner, let me know! Thanksgiving is soo Yummy! Turkey and all the trimmings! Probably just do it at our house again this year like we did last year. Then, Christmas...who doesn't love Christmas?? Both my boys have been talking about what they want from Santa for a few months. They do often change their minds of what they want though :o) Ken and I don't really do much to celebrate our birthdays and anniversary though. Usually just go out to dinner as a family.
Also, in September, I am going to try to do a 5k walk with my sister Carol. It's on a Sunday though so I have to see what we can do for a sitter for the boys. I was going to ask my mom to come visit then so she could watch them but things have come up with her so I don't know how her schedule is going to be then. We will just have to wait and see.
So, with my busy schedule coming up, I think I need to take a quick break and have an ice cream cone!

Here We Go!
So, here is my first post of my new blog! Let me tell you now, my blogs will sometimes be boring, funny, stupid, and very random! You will just have to check back to find out which one that day's blog under. I am hoping to be able (well not actually able because I AM able) to update this often.
First off, I recently started doing the whole coupon thing. I have actually found it to be great fun. I got a few coupons for Target and went there the other day. with my coupons and sales I found in store, I spent like $31 and saved like $98 or $99! YAY! Go Me! I can't wait for my next venture with my coupons. A great site I found to help out is www.coupondivas.com They show you what deals are going on and how and where to get coupons to use for the certain stores. Great huh? I thought so!
Today I worked in the house a lot and finally got things situated a little better. I got a new entertainment center for my TV and it has doors on it so I can cover the TV :o) I am finally able to get some of my nic naks out and put them up on top as well as some pictures. *sigh* it was a long time coming as we moved into this house last October! Now, I need to go back into the toyroom and situate it yet again. Jacob and Kyle "clean" it but never put things where they are actually supposed to be lol Imagine that!
Now, we are just sitting around, watching a movie. 3 Ninjas: High Noon. I personally like the original one the best but, I can't find my VHS of it and, it isn't on demand or at least I didn't see it.
Well, hope you liked my first attempt at blogging. Feel free to come back and check up on what's next!
