Just a bunch of stuff and things...

So I let like 8 days go by since my last post... I guess I'm keeping busier up here with all my family and friend catchups.... I am mostly doing ok with food choices and need to get back into my routine with my water intake and remembering my vitamins. I am supposed to be drinking like 128 ounces of water a day but I thought I was doing well at 100. It's 8 glasses of water for normal folks and 1 more glass of water for every 25 pounds you want to lose. That's alot of water... I am already peeing every 15-20 minutes... well, maybe 1/2 hour or so.

I am loving being so close to my nephews and have been spending loads of time with them... which keeps me active but I need to decide which gym is for me. There were 2 more I wanted to tour and check out and I can make my choice. Priorities are within 5 miles of home, weights, group classes, my cardio machines I like, pool, and everything else is a bonus... I may have to consider price too since my new insurance won't pay for the membership like my old one did.

I am worried about whether I can afford to go to Chicago this year... My husband says he doesn't want me to miss out since I enjoyed myself so much last year and met so many great new friends... but money is really tight and the flight is going to cost me like $400, plus my part of our room and other expenses. I don't want to decide at the last minute since my roommates could find someone to replace me if I gave them enough time.

My birthday is this Thursday and I am excited about spending the first birthday at home with my family and friends. My nephew Chase (3 years old) told me he's gonna make me a cake... I asked him what kind and he said... Van-Nell-Ya! Which is coincidentally his favorite! I can't wait to see his work! I wonder if he'll get fancy with fondant... or Spun sugar... I am beginning to think I watch too much Food Network.

  6. I wish I could be as diligent at the water as you. I know I need to drink more, but I never seem to get it done.

    Hope you can make it to Chicago!

  7. I'm freaking out with Jen! You have to come to Chicago. It just wouldn't be the same without you. And ya know once you get there you can have a ton of fun without spending very much at all. At least that's what I keep telling Mr. Husband, lol. Seriously, I really hope you make it. I've been looking so forward to seeing you. :)

  8. Water is my savior- though even I don't hit 128 oz a day! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a message... I am trying to read some of yours now:) My stuff might be a bit loose on you, but let me know if you might need a couple of dresses. I still have some that have not been claimed and would love to pass them on:)
