Hmm.. What to Title this one.. Randomness, I guess..

That's a good way to title this entry, as I have a lot of different things to tell y'all about.. :)   I can't believe it's already Tuesday.. I found out I get paid on Thursday again this week (thank you banks!  hehe).. and I think my schedule is going to change AGAIN.. but I'll blog more about that when it actually happens..

--------------------

Okay, today while I was running errands, I went to the Weight Watchers meeting place in New Albany.. I wanted to figure out how much money I'd have to fork over for the damn books that cost a fortune the last time I looked for them.. and boy was I SHOCKED!  I can get the Deluxe book set (comes with the Dining Out book, the "normal" food book, and the points calculator) for $14 (I think that's right).. That's AWESOME!  I figured I'd have to spend like $30.. It helps that the books are on sale until Friday.. :)   I'm hoping to keep my schedule to where I can go to the meeting on Friday.. They have 2 of them: one at 10:15 am and another at 12 noon..  This Friday I plan to go to the 10:15 am one..

--------------------

Today was the first day of my smoothie "challenge".. It's kind of a weird challenge, but I know I will eat more protein if I drink a shake each day.. so I'm trying to figure out what kinds I like and will drink.. lol.. today was definitely a learning experience..

** I learned that I need like 10 minutes to make one (properly).. 

** Do NOT use unrippened bananas (I like to eat the greenish ones.. 

but they don't work too well in smoothies, I guess).. 

** Plain Greek yogurt is DISGUSTING!!

** Do things "backwards" in comparison to normal blenders.. 

No pics yet, thanks to my phone being totally DUMB!  But as soon as I can get them somewhere OFF my phone, I'll post them.. lol

But I have learned from this first try, and I went out and bought Strawberry and Vanilla flavored Greek Yogurt.. and I found some yellow bananas.. so tomorrow should be better.. Oh!  One thing to know about this great blender?  It's FREAKIN' LOUD!  I was waiting for one of my parents to come out of their room yelling.. lol.. they didn't do that but still, I was wondering.. 

-------------------------

I know recently I haven't been very food-centric on my blog.. but I do plan to change that.. Friday is basically when all my changes start (as I have no plans for New Years Eve).. My new exercise of the week is my Wii Zumba game.. yeah, I already do Zumba.. but this isn't a class, this is a game!  And I'm so up for those kind of games.. :)

I've got to figure out a good schedule for ME.. I come home, thinking I will workout after I get home.. and then remember my mom doesn't work that night, so she's gonna be in the living room all night.. so there goes my workout space.. :(   So I'm taking charge and going to start waking up at 6am on weekdays.. I figure from 6 to 8:30 am, I should be able to work out, take a shower, fix my breakfast, blog, check FB and all the other websites I frequent, and be good to go to work on time.. Don'tcha think?!

---------------------

Okay, so I tried on my bridesmaid dress that I was wearing in my "before" picture.. and I was shocked!  I mean, in my before pic I was wearing a girdle and it was still super tight.. like I literally could barely breath without having my rolls show.. but now, I have so much room!  Like seriously it looks sloppy now, it's that loose.. WOOHOO!  Wanna see????

NOW (no face pic because I don't have makeup on.. lol)

I mean, seriously.. that's a lot of fabric to have not touching skin..

Oh, yesterday I went to Old Navy.. my grandma had given me a gift card for there, and they had their jeans on sale for $15!  I couldn't resist buying two pairs.. one size 16 and a size 14 skinny jean.. WOOHOO!  I'm gonna try on the 14's to see if they fit AT ALL right now.. lol.. we'll see how that works.. :)
