NEW OVEN!!!!

I have to say, I love the delivery and installation guys!!! Talk about perfect timing! The delivery guy pulled up, and as soon as he was done unloading it off the dolly, the contractor walked in the door. They both made my day!!! And guess what? The oven works! And it's beautiful! I of course had to add a picture, cause it's so beautiful! Actually, I had to add three, cause even the knobs are fancy! And it's all digital for the oven. The kids are already begging me to make a cake today. They've been deprived for 3 months now. :) I've never had an oven this fancy before, and the best part about it is I didn't have to pay a dime! Actually, the best part about it, is I'm done dealing with the warranty company (as long as they send me my money for the installation, that is). Guess I better get busy reading the directions so I can bake that cake.

New dishwasher!!!

Well, we finally got our new dishwasher last week. It's been a very long process, but it's finally coming together. This is the nicest dishwasher we have ever had, so it's really nice to have! It's a lot quieter and has more features than I know what to do with! I'm opting to not use the heat dry, cause my dad told me they wear out faster that way and it runs the power bill up, which we don't need right now. So that's taking some getting used to, having to dry them off after they get done, but it's so worth it! We are getting the new oven delivered tomorrow and then someone is coming on Friday morning to install it. I'm really excited about that!!! Now, you may be wondering how we afford all this. Well, we don't. The seller's bought us a 1 year home warranty that covers these things if they break, so since all the appliances are 18+ years old, they're starting to fall apart already. I'm not big on the customer service this company has given us, and how long it's taken, but saving us as much money as it would have cost us to replace these is worth it I guess. So this week-end I'll actually get to use my oven! I haven't cooked or baked in the one we currently have cause it burned everything I made. And no, I'm not THAT bad of a cook! :) The thermostat was off by so much, it just doesn't work right. So I'll be posting a picture of my oven Friday! Be watching for it! And pretty soon I'll post pix of the entryway that Chris has been working on. He just has crown moulding to put up and then it'll be done and I'll show pix of that. We're getting there, slowly but surely.

Working Out

I just got done with my 2 mile WATP workout. So I'm up to 4 miles for February. I ended up not sticking to my points yesterday, but at least so far I've met my goal for exercise! It's kind of fun to watch my ticker walk across that ladder and know that I am on my way to gettin' skinny!

TAC

For those of you who don't know, I've decided to quit selling TAC. I just don't have the time to work it as a business. I'm not going to leave the company, but I'm just going inactive. Who knows, maybe someday down the road I might have more time to do it, but for now it's just too much added stress. So I'm going to just be a customer now, as long as I can find some money to go spend on it! LOL! Let me know if you need someone to order from, cause I have several people I would recommend!

Weigh In

Well, it's been a bad couple of weeks. Last weeks weigh in was a 2.2 lb. gain. I didn't even go this week. I gave up for the week and just took a break. We've had some issues with our warranty place trying to get an oven and dishwasher and it's been going on for almost 2 months now. I've been dealing with a lot of not so smart people and I didn't deal well with the stress. So I just binged. Kinda stupid, I know. But I got back on track today. I worked out, did my 2 mile Walk Away the Pounds video, then had breakfast. I set an exercise goal for myself for the month of February. I'm going to do my 2 mile video 6 days a week all month. I'm on week 9 of WW and when you get to week 16 you get a little charm to add to your 10% keychain. Well, at the rate I'm going, I'm gonna get that charm before I actually get the keychain. So I decided I need to kick myself into high gear and work harder. So I'm going to force myself to do this. My friend Gina told me I need to just set it up like an appointment and work out everyday at that time and not get side tracked. So I stayed in bed longer today (which was nice) and just took Gabe to school (minus me taking a shower) and came home and worked out right away so that I wouldn't find something else to do. So we'll see how this goes.
