My new favorite show

So this past weekend while Shane was on his annual fishing derby trip to Flaming Gorge, I decided to spend the time watching the show Glee. I really wanted to see what the hype was all about. I have heard great things about the show. So I watched and watched and watched all of season one and came home Monday from work and got started on season two.
Thank you HULU!!!!

Glee is right up my alley!!!!! I have always loved music, and I think that I can be obsessed with it at times. I listen to a album over and over and over again until I know most if not all of the songs on that album. This drives Shane NUTS, as we can't go anywhere without me singing along to the radio or CD that is currently playing in the car.


I am happy to report that I have only a few episodes left before I am caught up, and should be caught up by the weekend. It is a great show, and can't wait to be caught up.

Here is a little taste of the music that you will hear on the show. This has been a favorite song of mine for YEARS!!!!! I love the band too!!!! Hope you enjoy!!!!!

I am in serious need of some help

So I really seem to be struggling right now with the whole dieting thing. I have hit a road block, and I am actually afraid to step on the scale. I have been making some horrible food choices which actually cost me a lot of points. Cheetos, Ice Cream, and ANYTHING chocolate. I WANT IT ALL!!!! I do know that eating those things causes you to lose it over time.
I made a choice the other day when I was shopping to not buy any of that crap, just to have Shane ask me the next day why there wasn't anything to snack or nibble on that was sweet. I told him, that if it was in the house, I was tempted by it, so therefore it wasn't in the house. So he made brownies, and I did eat.

I love Weight Watchers and their program it really does work. I love that I can be flexible with my points, but when I am using them EVERYDAY, and don't even get me started on the weekly 35 points that I can dip into. I have dipped in and by Sunday most of those, if not all of my points are gone, but that doesn't stop me from indulging during the week.

I really think that I have set my goals to high and that I am struggling with that for not meeting my goals when I wanted to. At the last meeting I attended, I had lost 17.4 lbs. Awesome for someone with PCOS and who struggles to loose weight. With that weight loss that puts me at 3.6 lbs shy away from getting my 10% of my goal weight. I was hoping to have had this by April 1st, but as you can see it is now May, and I have yet to receive it. I won't give up, and I will get it if it takes a little longer than I wanted to.

I guess I could be a little stressed or even depressed. The weather sure isn't helping in that department either. This up and down cycle has got to stop. I am in some serious need of attacking my flower beds, and letting the OCD gardner surface. She is crying to be let out. She has been hibernating for far to long. She did surface a few weeks ago, and WOW was she delighted to be out. With the lovely Utah weather we have been having, + working two Saturdays back to back doesn't help either.

The one thing that I am excited about is that Shane and I are taking a late anniversary trip to California in late June. I am so SUPER EXCITED!!!!! It's going to be a nice relaxing trip, with a whole lot of fun thrown in. The count down has totally begun, and I can't wait.

Now back to the help. The pictures of my motivation aren't working like I had hoped they would. And as vain as I am, I would seriously like to be thinner than I am right now. I am still working out, but not as often as what I would like to. I have started training for a 5k, and I am enjoying it. I have also started back on the 30 day shred. This workout does in fact kick my butt, but I am a little disappointed that I am not hurting today. I guess it's time to push harder, but without any injuries.

If you have any pointers I would love to hear about them. How do you deal with your struggles?
