TGIF! This & That (Random Posting)

I've gotten hooked on Swagbucks. I almost have enough swagbucks for a $10 Amazon giftcard. I'm leaning towards buying one of The Biggest Loser DVDs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounding like a hypocrite, I've been eating horribly all week. I start off ok, but by the end of the day I've blown it. Aidan's birthday kicking off the week, plus Brennan's birthday being this coming Monday, I feel like I surrender to the week-long celebration and give up.
No excuses, but I've blown it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Going off the last 2 posts, one WW leader a while back called me on it: I make a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to going off program. Meaning if I go off ONCE, I mentally can't get myself back on track until my WW week starts over. I don't know why, but I am this way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I recently learned of Turbo in Toledo, Turbo for a Cause. I am seriously going to look into it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NON exercise related now! LOL

I went grocery shopping yesterday (pay day). I passed my personal record, saving just over $19 with my coupons. That felt great. I was admiring my receipt all of yesterday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pollen is bad here, too. The last 2 days I've had a sore throat & headache. It was on our news about the specific trees and their pollen levels being higher than usual. Ick. Downside to spring.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aidan started soccer this week! Wednesday was the first practice, and Saturday is the first game. It was adorable. Even more adorable? Pat is coaching. They're both having a great time with it, and I think it's incredibly cute.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My apologies for a boring blog this week! I started the week off tired, I've been working on the May menu for Really Good Stuff's blog (much more challenging this time around than last time), and we've been outside a ton enjoying the weather.
                            ~~~
I hope you have a great weekend! What are your plans?

I am with you on the WW thing...I haven't been able to weigh in b/c I usually go on Saturday mornings so I can be alone. Well, soccer season has started and our Saturdays are booked with that. So I have used it as a free for all. *hangs head in shame*. I only have 2 more months and 27 pounds to get back to goal before I have to pay again. hmmm...

Yay for you and coupons! I have been clipping since last summer and have cut my bill in half. :)

I have a hard time getting back on track too. But I'm trying to be better about that. Also trying to force myself to write down every little thing I eat. That's an eye opener!
