The Best Weight-loss Advice

I love food. I crave food. Taking off pounds is always hard for me. I don't believe in diets. You should exercise and eat right and you weight what you're suppose too. However, sometimes I don't want to eat right, even when I know I should. Over the past almost year, this is the best advice that has worked for me.

Before getting pregnant with our youngest son, my weight was about 194lbs. October 31st 2019 (9 days to his arrival) I weighed in at 232. Of course, I lost some of that, but in the past year & a half I've hovered between 211-223. 

211 was when I lost 12lbs over the summer to fit in my wedding dress. I did that by skipping lunch and jump roping everyday, so of course it was gained back very easily. I just didn't care about loosing weight, I love food, my husband loves me, so it was just never a priority. 

However, the day came when my husband and I had the talk about our health and all the things we want to be able to do later in life. Which means taking care of ourselves now. So the big focus has been being healthy. No radical changes, just focusing on what we should be eating more of and doing more of. 

August 12, 2021: I broke the 210 threshold and weighed in at 209. I never went back above.

March 12, 2022: I broke the 200 threshold and weighed in a 198. I quicker returned to a 202 average. 

Today June 4, 2022: I have consistently been under 200 again. Currently weighing in at 198.

Master of None Bedroom

 Have you heard the phrase? Jack of all trades, master of none. That is this Master Bedroom—the space in the house for my husband and me. When you’re living in just enough space, you make use of every inch. However, as you can see, we were not using it best. This music, craft, TV, and sleep space, complete with a late-night baby bottle station, really needed some help, considering how much time we spend here.  The main problem is in our hobby space. If you use the bedroom for working (even work you enjoy), it’s essential to keep it contained. You want to be able to put it away so that when it is time for bed, you can shut your brain off. (Or at least try). We had great bones. This desk I already owned was full of surface space. It allowed me to have my sewing machine set up all the time, with plenty of room for my cutter, computer, and a surface to paint when I tucked my laptop away. ( Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk ). Tucking my bulky Brother cutter in the corner made the spa...

Movie Night Birthday

When my daughter turned 8 she wanted to have her friends over to watch a movie. She had never had a big party with all her friends, so I was very excited to make this happen for her. The Dollar Tree came in handy for popcorn buckets and a variety of movie theater candy.  Amazon also has paper buckets. Amazon had a great selection of themed décor. We even used leftover table runners to line the walkway. ( Banner ,  Hanging Decor , Balloons ) We prefilled buckets with popped popcorn, and lined up the many popcorn salt varieties. Something that never occurred to me before the day, not all kids like popcorn. I would have had a backup up of chips and pretzels if I could do it again. There was also plenty of mini waters with all that salty food. We set up every seating option we could think of, so everyone could have a cozy spot. For a take home treat we sent popcorn, candy, and popcorn bucket’s. ( Clea...

The Townhouse

  I had always lived in rentals my adult life. I married young and my husband at the time was in the military. Never knowing if we were going to be sent somewhere new, the commitment of buying a house didn’t seem worth it. When my current husband relocated to his hometown, we followed. Initially we moved into the basement apartment of his mother’s house. We were very lucky for this opportunity. It allowed us to save money, which allowed us to have our youngest son. 1 year in, we knew we needed more space. Our oldest children shared a bedroom. When our son turned 7, that’s when we knew we had to start looking for a home.   We looked and looked and looked. We were not in the position financially to buy or build (the dream) our forever home. We just needed that third bedroom, and enough room for a hopeful baby. The townhouse felt right. It was just enough space. A perfect first home until we figured out exactly what we wanted. It was the newest of all the properties we visi...
