Yes, not only was Nibby spending the day lazing around, so did we. Isn't that what Sundays are for? I know they are around our house. Well, I did get some laundry done and Chris and I did our Sunday veggie chopping session.
Did you remember to change your clocks ahead 1 hour? We did....all 15 clocks! Okay, not that many clocks, 8 clocks that actually got changed. The rest of them (6 of them...yes I have 14 clocks around my house) did not get changed. I am not sure if those 6 clocks even work if we put batteries in them. I have a thing for clocks. Maybe it's my own little way to control time....like time can be controlled. Okay, okay, I just love clocks.
I did spend some time in the project room. I grabbed our tv series dvd case and started watching MASH season 1 (which I watched most of them yesterday) and season 2. I just love MASH. I don't have all of the seasons, just 1, 2, 7 and 8. Not really sure why I have only those 4 seasons and why they were purchased way out of order. I am going to check out Amazon.com and see if they have all of seasons...and put those missing seasons on my Christmas wish list.
I started working on a wellness scrapbook. This ribbon covered album actually started out as a 3" ring binder that hold 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch paper. I had to extend the length of the binder because once I put the page protectors inside, they stuck out the end about a 1/2" and that totally drives me crazy. So I glued chipboard on the covers, covered in felt and then covered in ribbons. It wasn't a planned thing, it kinda evolved into this very colorful album. Now I just have to fill it up.
Chris and I started our "wellness journey" on January 1st. I had let my weight completely get out of control. I felt miserable and had very little energy. So Chris and I started watching our calories and cut out fast food completely. I am proud to say that we have not had any McDonalds, Arby's, Sonic, Churchs Chicken, or any other fast food since January 1st. We started cooking......I know, shocker....I am cooking and drinking more water.
The results so far? Well, I am proud to say that Chris has lost 17 pounds and I have lost 24 pounds! WoooHooo!! My goal is to lose 60 pounds total, which will put me at my target weight. Chris' goal is to lose 30 pounds. Chris is 1/2 way there and I am almost 1/2 way there.
So far we have been losing weight by only changing our diet. Now that the time has changed and we have more day light and that it's getting warmer, we will start walking up at the High School track. We have also signed up for two 5K's. Mind you, we will not be running a 5K, we will be walking. But we are excited to get moving. Our first 5K is this coming Saturday and the Heart Association walk is in April.
Eventually I will post the pages of my "Wellness Journey" on my blog, but for right now I am keeping those to myself...mainly because it is still so hard to say outloud just how much I weighed when I started. But I can tell you this, those pages are plain white cardstock and ooodles of doodles! :)

Good for you! Most people I know who began things (or gave up things) on January 1 have relapsed long ago. How great that you and hubby are supporting each other, and having such great success. I just LOVE the wellness journal you've made. It's so cheerful, with all those colours! Just looking at the pictures makes me want to do something healthy! Can't wait to see what you put in it!
that's great and quite an accomplishment! we subscribed to relishrelish.com. you select 5 menus and the number of people you plan on cooking for for the week. it generates your grocery list and so far, everything we've tried is quick (30 minutes, start to finish), easy & good. it's helped us get out of our "what's for dinner" rut that inevitably leads to eating out.
