Making changes!

Have you seen the giveIt100 challenge? I've been seeing it everywhere lately. The woman decided to take a video of herself working out every day for 100 days. She lost 18 pounds and two dress sizes.That's fantastic!

I'm going to do it. I don't know if I am going to share it with the world like she did, but I am doing this with another friend, and she'll be able to see them. I start today. I'm not going to give myself a chance to get out of it. I'm doing it. No matter what.

On another note, Hubs and I cleaned the living room last night. That's a big deal. And I made fresh orange juice afterwards. And I didn't flip out or get too overwhelmed. I'm excited! I attribute this to the new meds I started and loving motivation from my good friend SECF! (She used to be SECS, but she got married! Yay!)

And now that the living room is clean and I have floor space again, it's back to working out. I have plenty of room from my yoga mat and any other exercise regimen I want to try. I'm looking forward to attempting tai-chi. It's been frequently suggested to me as a workout that is okay when i'm in pain. My rheumatologist suggested it after complaining about the weight I've gained.

Today was a great start to the changes I've been needing to make. I'm excited and looking forward to the future now.

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

The Doctor... Doctor Who? A.K.A. Damn you, Netflix :)

Oh, the hardships of having no cable TV... We decided that we were paying way too much money for cable, when there were only a handful of channels we watched. Of course we couldn't get the basic cable, because it was missing half of the channels we wanted. So I cut it off completely. And I'm so glad I did. We upgraded our internet service, bought a year of Xbox Gold membership, and subscribed to Hulu Plus and Netflix. Although we have decided to cancel our Hulu subscription, we love Netflix. Hulu is great for current shows, but Netflix is awesome because we can watch an entire series. When it first came out, I LOVED Alias. It was a spy show starring Jennifer Garner. My mom and I used to watch it every week. But Hubs had never heard of it! Seriously, he lived under a mountain. At least when it came to TV. So we watched all 5 seasons of Alias. We decided that instead of watching various shows all at once, we would choose a series and watch it all before switching to a new show....

My First Giveaway!

My last post was about my decision to start a bakery. I'm very excited about it, and have been getting some fantastic reviews from my taste testers! My menu is small right now, but I am continually working on new recipes to expand it. I'm currently attempting to make a really good gluten free sandwich bread that doesn't have corn, potato, white rice, or soy in it. I hope to have it done by opening day, Nov 1. I know it's weird to open on a Tuesday, but I plan to be very busy celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary on Halloween by scaring little kids :) I figured one of the best ways to advertise the bakery was to have a blog giveaway. So that's exactly what I'm doing! One lucky reader will receive a $20 gift certificate to I Can't Believe It's Good For Me. The giveaway is open until midnight, Oct. 31. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Nov 1. Here are the rules: 1 - You must complete the mandatory entry. 2 - Post each entr...
