Happy Weekend!!

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend! I just wanted to write a quick post, and then I will be back on Sunday for official weigh in!! I finally bought a scale and so far it seems to be accurate within .2! I hope it stays that way. I tried to take everyone's advice and get a weight watchers scale but of course my tiny Arkansas Target only had  1 WW scale, the cheapest one, and it has a 1 star review on the website.  I decided against it and got one from Walmart.

I wrote out a more structured plan for my blog, (I love structure!) and am going to start implementing it starting on Sunday. This first way weigh in is much worse than I thought, and I've been pretty down about it since I stepped onto the darn scale, but hey you have to start somewhere, and this is my somewhere.

My weekend is going to consist of getting a new bed. Woohoo. We are going from a full to a king. I don't think we are going to know what to do with ourselves! Other than that, LOTS of cleaning. I got a jump start on my list tonight and got a lot done with the help of the hubby. Having a clean house just seems to make me feel better!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!


  1. Have a great weekend Amanda. New beds are sooo exciting! I love having a fresh new mattress (err...even though I've only had one in my life LOL). Good luck with the cleaning!

    And what was that scale called, the brand?? I bought a cheapie 10 dollar scale that said its supposed to weigh you up to 400 pounds. Now I'm not that heavy but I stepped on and the scale only goes to 85 pounds, stops and turns off! It's such a piece of crap, I've been looking for a good one for a while now!

    Have a great day! Hope it's not too hot where you live!

  2. Good for you getting on that scale and facing that demon! That's the worst part of it. Now just put it behind you and move forward. You can do it!

  3. I have an idea for you for your new mattress, but it involves hubby too......hahahahaha

    Have a great weekend!!!

  4. Say goodbye to the number you saw on the scale today and never go back - only go down. Less and less each week, but expect some stumbles and maybe a gain or two along the way. It happens. Best wishes!

    hahah Bonnie! You read my mind!

    I got a health-o-meter weight trend tracking scale. It has 3 lights on it. If it goes green then you lost weight, if it goes yellow you stayed the same, and if it goes red you gained weight. It tracks up to 4 ppl. It's probably too soon to tell if it's a true winner but I will definitely update in a few weeks on how it's doing! So far so good.

    Here's a link for it:
