Weighing In

April 1, 2014 | By Heidi | Filed Under: health, life, Weighing In | Leave a Comment

weighingin

 

Formerly known as ‘Losing It’. 🙂

So, I’ve decided to rename this…section I guess you could call it. I think that Weighing In is a better representation than Losing It. I mean, I plan on losing it, but I’m aiming for more of a lifestyle change.

I am pretty sure that the last time I update was in January, 2012 – over 2 years ago.

Since then, I’ve kept 50 lbs off and unfortunately, I went back to a lot of old habits.

I am not one to beat myself up about it though. I’m human, ya know?

And I like cake.

And I stress eat. And we eat out a lot – which also needs to change.

This change I am not looking forward to because I am no cook. I’m not even going to pretend, I am horrible.

This one time, I both burned and under-cooked potatoes for a family brunch. It’s a talent that I know everyone is jealous of. It was also incredibly embarrassing and something that, luckily, my sister and brother in law have not let me live down.

I am, however, willing to try and hopefully not poison my husband while I attempt new recipes.

So far, he is still breathing. I would say that my recent ventures in cooking have been a success! He may not agree, but I haven’t personally hated anything I’ve tried to make recently.

Diet concept. Fruits with measuring tape  on a plate like weight scale

 

My new insurance is an HMO with a healthy option. In order to remain in the ‘enhanced’ benefit level we need to work on certain aspects of our health. For me, it’s weight. Everything else is good. Even my A1C has been good. To help the members meet their healthy goals, they will pay for Weight Watchers.

So tomorrow I am going to try to join Weight Watchers and will begin going to meetings and everything either later in the week or next week.

It’s been years since I’ve been in Weight Watchers and I know a lot has changed. I’m worried that I will have a hard time only because of the Diabetes.

I’ll see though.

More updates to come soon. 2014…my year to shine!

Till next time…

Still Getting Things Situated

March 27, 2014 | By Heidi | Filed Under: site | Leave a Comment

I am still working on the site trying to get everything situated how I want/like it. I haven’t even begun to work on the fonts yet!! Actually, I don’t really mind the fonts as they are. I think I need to make the titles bold and purple, but besides that I think they look ok.

I was using Artisteer to make my blog themes and then tweaking them a bit if needed. I did go to school for web design and learned a thing or two about CSS and everything…so I can tweak things here and there.

I am also an excellent Googler. I google. A lot.

But now that I got the Genesis Framework and a child theme…I’m on my own. I’m feeling it out though, and there has been a lot of refreshing of my page.

But it’s getting there!

And since I am not quite ready to sit and write a blog, I decided to catch you up on what you’ve missed while I was blogging at Peargirly.com. I don’t know what I will use that site for. I just think this site works better for blogging.

→  A few things on Etsy brought a smile to my lips recently.
→  My nails were SUPER glittery and fabulous for Christmas this year!
→  I decided that 2014 is my year to SHINE!
→  Here’s a list of my goals for 2014.
→  One of those goals was not fracturing my ribs a few weeks ago though…ouch!
→  And finally, I went antique shopping with my family and found some horrible and wonderful things. A scary pig is shown below.

I still have no words.

Ok back to work.

Till next time….
