Plateau

{{ to reach a state or level of little or no growth or decline; to stop increasing or progressing; remain at a stable level of achievment; level off. }}

The definition of plateau is where I feel like I am right now in my weight loss. I know that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing, so why am I not seeing results??

I talked to a sweet lady at weight watchers last night, and she told me not too give up and that I'm doing everything right. Since I am exercising more, my body is getting used to it and that eventually I WILL see results. YAY!! She also said that with exercise sometimes you notice that you are losing inches and not weight...Isn't that the truth? I think every week i'm buying new clothes, I mean I'm not complaining because I LOVE new clothes, but it gets expensive.

Every week I get scared to weigh in because I feel like whatever I do the weight just isn't coming off. I also tell myself that If I feel that I have gained for that week..I'm not going to weight watchers to weigh in...but I'm proud of myself, because every week I do go even if I gain. :)

I guess I needed the re-assurance from the sweet lady at weight watchers, because I feel alot better about things now.

NEVER GIVE UP!!

CRAFT PROJECT: homemade magnets!!

Its raining outside and a bit on the chilly side. What a perfect day for a craft project, right? I was excited to go to Roberts Craft and get all the supplies that I would need to get started on these easy-to-make magnets.

If your intrested in making some, they are super easy and I will do a little step by step on how to make them as well.

First of all this is the magnetic board that I bought at a craft boutique they had here in town.

Supplies you will be needing:

- flat marbles(usually located in the floral area of a craft store

- mod podge and small paintbrush or foam brush

-scissors and a glue gun

-round magnets

- photos for your magnets(photographs,scrapbooking paper,magazine pics) anything with a fun and cute design would work

Place one of the marbles over the design of your choice just to make sure that the marble covers the entire design. Using your paintbrush/foam brush apply the modpodge to the design and then place the marble over the design. Allow to dry for about 15-20 minutes

After the mod podge as had time to dry, cut around the marble making sure that you get as close to the marble as possible.

Next, using your glue gun, apply some glue to the magnet and then attach the magnet to the back of the marble. Allow to dry.

tHaTs It..yOur DoNe!!

This is my finished project. I have my favorite photos on my magnetic board along with my new/cute magnets. I think I might have to make some more for the refrigerator. :)

Meet Kiah Lynn Rasmussen!!

This new bundle of joy was born Tuesday September 30th, weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs. 1 oz. Tiny little thing, but she is soo cute!!
She is the daughter of Whitney, a co-worker of mine.
During lunchtime today, we took a couple of gifts to the hospital, and to see Kiah and Whitney. When I held her, it was just like holding a couple of blankets with no baby inside..it was crazy!!
Mom and baby are doing just fine and will be going home later this week.
Congratulations Whitney!

Sweet and Sour Cucumbers

These little guys taste like candy to me! Now, how could anyone go wrong with making them and eating the whole entire jar?! They are a vegetable, right?

YUM-O!!

** Thanks Becky for the recipe! :)

This movie just makes me want to.....

break out into song and dance...

I heart this movie! Today we went and saw Mama Mia for the second time, and it was even better this time then the first. I actually did break out into song and laughed extremely hard once again. If you haven't yet seen it..have a girls night out and go check it out!! :)

It was a very crazy and busy day today. I was really wanting to sleep in a little this morning, because I have been so tired this week. I was sleeping so soundly when all of a sudden, I was awoken by the sound of some extremely loud thunder and then immediately followed by a downpouring of rain/hail. I love the sound of thunder and the smell of rain anytime, but not while i'm trying to sleep...hello!

Our apartment right now is in complete shambles...in other words, it looks like a tornado hit every single room HA! The reasoning behind the tornado... carpet cleaning! After a quick breakfast,consisting of hot pancakes(compliments of Bethie), we started cleaning the carpet. We had to do it twice, but it looks and feels so much better. YAY for clean carpets! :)

I got my hair cut today. :) Nothing too spectacular, I took an inch off the length and did alot of layers. I wanted to do something a little different, but I don't have alot of time in the morning before work to have a really high maintenance haircut, so this will have to do for now. Thanks Nikole!

I hope you all are having a great weekend. Thats all for now...

Thank You Sears!! :)

We were attempting to vacuum our carpet last weekend because this weekend we are borrowing my moms carpet cleaner to clean them. We turned on the vacuum and it just smelled like it was so hot and burning up. When we started to vacuum it would not pick up for the life of me and it was leaving burn marks on the carpet...aaahhhh!! We knew that this was the end of our precious vacuum. :(
Thanks to sears(or should I say sears credit card HA) we were able to purchase a brand spankin' new one. YAY!! Brought it home, Bethie put it together and then I got the first go at it. When I went to turn it on, it sounded like a car engine starting, no joke...and it just purrrrrrred! The suction on this thing is amazing! The carpet looks so much better already. I'm so excited and I can't wait to clean the carpets now. :) the vacuum model above is not the kind that we bought..its bagless and tons better!
