Another 2.8 lbs gone!

Things are moving slowly but steadily on the WW front. Down again but gone are the weeks of 2.5-3 lbs weight loss in one week. I'm ok with it though as long as the scale keeps moving and I don't his plateau just yet!!!

Easter Fun

Easter Sunday was a beautiful day, mostly sunny and just a few sprinkles. We were able to get up, get movin' and get to 1st service for church which gave us some down time between church and dinner at my mom's. Emily had a wonderful time hunting eggs in the morning at home and then again at mom's house with her cousins. She received more candy than a little girl needs and I'm sure she will be enjoying it for weeks!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

WW Update


Just an update on the weight loss front since I didn't post last week about it. Last week I lost 3 lbs (got the biggest loser flower again!!!) and this week I lost 1.6 lbs for a total weight loss of 16.4 lbs in 6 weeks. I'm thinkin' that's not too bad. I wasn't sure how this week was going to play out since Easter was the day before weigh in and I almost didn't go but I'm glad I did. I'm hoping to hit 20 lbs by the end of April. I know that the amounts of weight I'm losing each week is going to slow so I need to prepare for that too and not get too frustrated.

Hope everyone has a blessed week!

Happy Resurrection Day!



5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. Matthew 28:5-7

I pray that you all have a beautiful day and remember that it isn't about the bunny, eggs and candy.

IGA steals, I mean deals!!!

So, our local IGA is generally the biggest ripoff for miles around. But this week I was able to pair some great coupons with some great sales and walk out of there with a few REALLY great steals I mean deals. :o)

I got all of this for $3.27! I'm especially excited that the McCormick grinders were on sale again for 50% off making them $1.25. Pair that with a $1.00/1 coupon found here (type in zip code 45403) and you get a grinder for 25¢. DUDE...you can't beat that! I'm usually able to get some pretty good deals on hygiene products but I get really excited when I can find great deals on food to feed my family. Anyway, the Reames noodles were 39¢ a bag, the boxes of Green Giant were 98¢ for both of them and the bags of Steamers were 25¢ a bag. I'll be getting some more Green Giant coupons this afternoon from here and going back after hubby gets home from work.

Hope you all are having as great of weather as we are having here. Today it is supposed to hit 80°.
