Almost 2013

I'm so happy that 2013 is almost year. I've decided that it WILL be a better year! 2012 was a really rough year, but I just know that 2013 is going to be better.

My husband's shift is changing and even though it's going to actually cost us more money in the next two years than normal (due to him using more gas) he will get to spend more time at home with us. We thought it would really hurt him on his part time job as well, but January is not showing that. Granted we will now only get to see him at dinner time until bedtime time for the next 2 years, but at least he has not only 1 job but 2. I'm very thankful for this!

Things are turning around for me as well. I started a 90 day challenge December 1st and lost 6 pounds and 7 inches in just 2 weeks. I stopped the challenge due to getting sick and the holidays. I'm getting ready to start back up tomorrow!

My daycare is going well. I have a total of 5 families that I'm baby sitting for. While it has it's ups and downs (just like any job) it's going well. I had to put my foot down two weeks ago and change my policy some. The new policies start this week so I'm praying things go a little better. As long as I keep watching these families children and the schedule doesn't change then I should be able to make enough money to put money in savings and be able to shop weekly sales to stock our bare pantry! Time for some more amazing grocery shopping trip pictures!

So here's to 2012 ending and better things going on in 2013!

90 day challenge

December 1st I signed up for a 90 day challenge. I'm going to get this fat off my body. I'm sick on looking like I'm expecting baby #7 and I'm NOT! I'm doing this challenge with my friend Doug and about 20 other people. We are doing a meal replacement shake, that is totally AWESOME! It taste great and has melted off 10 million pounds in the past 2 years! It's heart smart, glueten free, and lactose free. At first I was thinking "This shake is going to be nasty and I can't do this". The shakes are great! There are over 300 recipes! I'm on day 4 and so far haven't had a shake I don't like. Best part they have a ton of vitamins and protein so you aren't hungry! I have to remind myself to eat a healthy snack every day.
