Weight Loss Challenge: Week SEVEN update (LATE POST)

I did weigh in on Friday and guess what? I stayed the same for the second week in a row. This week I think I will really need to push myself to see a loss.
I have about 24 more pounds to go to meet my goal which means I need to lose about 3 pounds a week from here on out. I have decided to step things up a bit in order to push through my plateau. Here is what I am going to do
1.       LOG EVERYTHING EVERY DAY. I have been a little lax on this. I will be sure to track every little bite so I can more accurately assess how I am doing and what I need to change next week.

2.       STEP IT UP A NOTCH. I have been active but I have been doing pretty leisurely walks. I will jog at least 2 times this week and add one more intense activity. I am thinking dancing or Zumba.


3.       ADD MORE DAILY ACTIVITY. What I mean by this is that in addition to actually working out I will take every opportunity to be more active in my daily life. I can walk to the store that is less than a mile from my house when I need to get a gallon of milk instead of driving. I can walk over to my co-workers desk to ask a question instead of e-mailing or calling. I can take more walking meetings.
Here is a great article from a very trusted site that describes plateaus, why they happen and what to do when you reach one.  
This weeks succsess:
Last Monday I made this yummy soup with stuff I had in my pantry. It was quick, easy, cheap and very low in calories.
I had some packages of easy mac and cheese for the microwave the kids didn't like so I used those noodles. They cooked quick but I normally use other boxed noodles. 
I got a huge pot!!
 It was delicious!!

This is one of the 4 meals or side dishes I got from a big pot of black beans I cooked. I just refried some of the cooked beans to go with my chicken soft taco.

This week should be less stressful and busy. So I WILL be on time with my Friday Post!! I already have a plan on how to be ahead of the game.


Check out the other lovley ladies doing this challenge. They are all doing awesome :)

Is cutting coupons worth it?

It’s been awhile since I have taken the time to coupon. I actually got pretty good at it. I really enjoyed looking for deals and saving tons of money, but it does take time.  Time is something that I just can't seem to find enough of these days. So, over the last few months I have stopped couponing. 

Inspired by my recent reduction in pay and a Facebook post by The Krazy Coupon Lady, I decided to spend a little time and take a small trip to the store using coupons.
Here is what I got


Look at my savings
So maybe a lot of this stuff is junk, but the kids only have a few weeks left of summer break and had friends over yesterday, so I was going to buy them some crappy food as a special treat anyways. I figure if I am going to give my kids and their friends soda, an 8 oz serving is better than a regular 12 oz can.  Right?
Everything except the Activa was purchased with a coupon but it was on sale for $1.88 which is a GREAT price so I couldn’t pass it up. Okay, so I didn't get anything f…

San Francisco in a Day

I have loved San Francisco ever since I was a kid. I love the cool air, the ocean-side views, the food, the stores, the many different and unique neighborhoods and so much more.I especially love walking around pier 39. This is usually where I go when I hit the city. The smell of the salt water, fish, clam chowder and the freshly baked sour dough bread that does not taste better anywhere else on earth makes my heart skip a beat. I make the short drive over to the city by the bay every chance I get. Luckily my not so little anymore cousin loves San Francisco just as much as I do.When deciding what to do with our one full day together this past Monday, there was only one choice! This trip did not go as smoothly as all of my other trips to San Francisco but it was still fun and totally worth it. Traffic was crazy so we decided to take the Bart part of the way in. We had to try two different Bart stations and three different parking lots before we were able to find a spot to park.
