New Year's Resolutions at work

So my weigh in day is Monday. Drum roll please ..... I lost 2.5 pounds last week. Hurray! Really surprising as I kinda goofed off exercise wise in the beginning of the week and we went out on saturday and I had barbecue chicken pizza, yummy. I joined this sparkpeople website to track my calories and found, if you can believe this, that I wasn't getting enough calories and that may have been hindering my weight loss in the prior 2 weeks. Who'd have thought? So I have lost a total of 12.5 pounds - I am pretty happy with that. The next week or so will be tough as we'll have family in town and probably doing lots of eating out and less working out.


I've already read my books for the month and am working on several more as I got the last two books in the twilight series. So I am sure those will be finished by the end of the month. Or really the end of the week.


Keira's b-day is coming up and she gets to bring snacks in to school for it. My first instinct was to call the local bakery and order something super cute. So I called and what I wanted was going to end up being like $35. Normally, I would have sprung for it - it is her birthday after all - but I'm trying to be a more frugal in all areas, so I am going to make something. I'll post pictures when the time comes. What I'm making is going to cost roughly $5, so way cheaper!


Hope all your resolutions are going as well as mine are so far!
