Day 23: Something old. This is my blankie from when I was really little. I love it so much, and am saving it for my future babies so they can love it too.
Day 24: Guilty pleasure. Pinterest! Holy heck yeah. I'm on Pinterest almost daily. It is such an inspiring site.......and oh so addicting. *wink* (let's be Pinterest friends! you can find me here.)
Day 25: Something you made. One of the new Slacker Beanies from the Indie Darling Spring Collection! So excited to show you more peeks during the next few weeks!
Day 26: Color. Design*Sponge At Home is definitely one of my favorite purchases of the year. So many pretty photos and DIYs. I am in love!
Day 27: Lunch. Green machine (so good!) and mushroom noodles (not so good).
Day 28: Light. This was the sunrise from earlier this morning. I'm not always awake early enough to see the sunrise, so I really cherish the moments when I see one.
I can't believe the month is almost over. I've had a really fun time doing the January Photo A Day challenge...it's been a great way to document special details from the month. Did you miss out the challenge? Well guess what...? Chantelle over at Fat Mum Slim created another one for February!
I encourage everyone to take part (or at least try it) because it is so fun! And you don't even have to have an Instagram account, you could still take photos on your camera and post them to Flickr or your blog every day/week. Try it, you'll like it!
News from the Week:
-Normally I tend to weigh myself every day or two. I know this isn't healthy because our weight fluctuates every day, but I always get so excited to see if I've lost anymore pounds. Well, this week I set a small goal for myself to not weight all week. ALL WEEK. It was a challenge, but I succeeded!
-I lost almost 2 pounds! I started the month at 261, and now I'm down to 254.8! EEP! This is freaking awesome and I am that much more motivated to keep kicking this in the butt.
-I've been tackling a bunch of goals this week! Lots of thrifting, using my dslr camera every day, and I've started putting money away. Accomplishing goals is a top priority for me this year...I feel unstoppable!

3. Congrats on the weight loss! You're so brave for being so open about it. I'm trying to lose weight, too. My wellness coach recommended that I not weigh myself between appointments--two weeks apart! So I definitely feel the anticipation there.

I love these weekend update posts! I do the same thing on my blog once a week but I'm thinking about doing the February challenge.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your weight loss! I am also trying to lose weight and love the results I've gotten so far. I use to weigh myself everyday too but then I would obsess every time I gained or lost a pound so I stopped doing it. Now I weigh myself at the begging and end of the month.
