Couch potato

What a week its been already... and its only Wed. My body is so sore right now so I decided to take a break today that and I woke up 2 hours late which is no good. BUT! While watching some TV last night, one of the weight loss shows, I saw The Couch Potato Workout Which is 15 push up, 15 sit ups, and 15 squats. At first you think yeah ok that seems easy enough, but once you do it for a couple commercials, you definitely start to feel the burn! I did it through an hour long show and by the time I went to bed I was feeling the burn in my legs and arms. Try it out!

While driving to work Mon. I'm listening to the radio and they are talking about what 3 things are you totally obsessed with? Some girl say spinning class, the Bachelorette, and, and smoothies. Another guy said his Iphone, some band I've never heard of and health food. It got me to thinking... What am I "obsessed" with? Well I couldn't think of anything I love so much to say I'm obsessed with it. Ask me that same question 2 years ago and I have raddled off 3 things I was way in love with. Not to say that I don't love the things I do sometimes but nothing I would call being obsessed with. So I asked my husband what he thinks I'm obsessed with. He says eating healthy, crafts, and working out. Ok well I see eating healthy and working out as one whole getting healthy. Crafting I really like but just because I have a room full of crafty bits don't make so obsessed. I don't have time to craft. I could probably make time, but waking up too early working out cleaning the house going to work both jobs and then coming home to cook dinner and clean some more... sometimes I just wanna sit and veg out on some TV and not use my brain! So as I'm writing that just now... I schedule crafting into my life just like I schedule everything else. A couple of days a week just take an hour or so to go and craft it up!

Wedding Bells

What a great/ long weekend! Went my husbands childhood friends wedding this weekend. It was absolutely beautiful! And honestly one of the best weddings Ive been to since I met my husband (number 4) and not because this was finally one that he wasn't in it! It was just a good mix of everything an amazing wedding should! AND...... while at the wedding I had 2 people tell me (and my husband) that I was looking thinner! Doesn't that my a girl feel good! I haven't enough started to notice! And usually I'm the first to say  "ohh yeah! My beginnings of a double chin is vanishing!!" Sticking my face in my husbands face, "Look honey look!!" And my husband saying "Yes honey, but your blocking Family Guy". Gotta love him. Anyway spent Sunday cleaning my house, of course. And running errands, of course. We went to Costco with our own card for the first time and managed to restrain ourselves. I think mostly because you have to pay in cash and we decided to take out only a little. I went through and found some good deals on things we buy regularly so when we start our newly awesome budget next week we already now some things that are a better deal to buy in bulk. I'm still very new to this bargain shopping and it seem a little hard just keeping track and always trying to find the best deals, but I know it will just take time and practice. I'm still very excited to get this budget into play and working it. It also might take ALOT of getting used to but will be best for us in the end!

Hi there. I'm Kat. This is my brand new blog. Its pretty much about me. My life, family, friends, weight loss, exercise, cleaning eating (or my attempt at it!), crafting and just about anything else I decide to rant and rave about.

So about me. I'm married to a pretty awesome guy. We met at a coffee shop and have been connected at the hip ever since. We eloped less that 2 month later! Hes pretty amazing! We don't have any kids but that's something we are working on (very hard). I am also trying to lose some weight. Im not one of these girls thats like 120 and just needs to lose 10lbs so i can feel and look good in my bikini this summer. Have you ever heard of the wedding 15? Well my is more like the wedding 80! Before I met my husband i was about 160-165lb. And now a year later Im at 240ish... I didn't realize I had put on that much weight. First my skinny jeans were too snug. The my fat jeans were too snug. I of course thought nothing of it. This I had to buy new jeans, to which I only bought 2 pairs because "I'm gonna lose the weight easy" Yeah... then my husband tells me one day that I need to change my shirt. Why? Because my gut is hanging out one end and my boobs are falling out the other. Then last but not the least clue that I'm getting fatter... my wedding ring no longer fits. Now I have never really been this obsessed with trying to get some pounds and having the willpower to not eat McDonalds and a plate full of cookies or the motivation to stop watching The OC and go to the gym or take my dog for a walk is pretty weak. But over this last weekend while trying on dresses for a friends wedding I cam to the realization that I do not look good as an overweight person.... Strange to say I know but you know how there are over weight people out there that still look good? They know on to dress there body, they know how to wear there makeup and they are just gorgeous. Well that's just not me. I have a weird shaped body while fat. Clothes don't wear right. So I have to lose the weight so I can wear all my clothes I have backed away in my basement and be healthy again! So now that I just filled your brain more than I excepted and I have spent too much time typing and not cleaning or working out or running errands.
