My Weight Loss Resolutions Over the Years… #humor

Dieting – New Year Resolutions over the Years…

2008: I will lose 10 pounds.
2009: I will follow my new diet religiously until I reach my goal weight.
2011: I will work out 3 days a week.
2010: I will develop a realistic attitude about my weight, and be happy where I’m at.
2012: I will try to drive past a gym at least once a week. Sometimes.

Anyone else have trouble with New Years Resolutions?

Every year I’d say, “This is the year I lose that 10 pounds!” And I never lost them. And then I had a baby. And now I have a lot more than 10 pounds to lose, lol. If weight loss is on your list of 2012 goals too – here are a couple quick things to check out:

– Get a Free Body Assessment from Nutrisystem. This is great, helps you figure out if you really are fat, or just a little extra squishy :) Either way, you’ll be able to set a realistic weight loss goal.
– Try the Gym for Free. We all know that most people join with good intentions, but don’t stick with it. Here’s a free gym membership you can print out, to try it out before you pay the joining fee!
– Join Food on the Table. This is a totally free service, and it helps plan your meals with healthy options, matches your shopping list with coupons at your favorite stores, and makes eating well and saving money simple!

Or, say to heck with it all!

Just buy a set of Bake Pops {my favorite invention ever}, make them for tomorrow’s breakfast, and smile :) Do more of what makes you happy this New Year! Share this post using the easy peasy social buttons, and give a giggle or two to your own friends today too – Happy 2012!

Their Here’s to Mom promotion is a quick and easy way to get rewarded for all of the nice things you’re already doing this holiday season – Keep reading for the details!

“It’s not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it.” – The Golden Girls

Here’s how it works – If you’re like me, you probably love doing as much shopping as you can online, to avoid the crowds, the cold, and the crazy! And now, when you shop for your families gifts online with your MasterCard, you can earn a free bonus just for you! Yep, when you spend $200 or more online with your MasterCard, they’ll send you a $20 Gift Card that you can spend on a little something nice for yourself. Super fun, right?

“I know how to do anything – I’m a Mom.” – Roseanne Barr

How to Get Started: You have to register your card first, before your spending can count towards the $200. To register, simply go to their website – Here’s to Mom MasterCard Promotion – Add your info and card number, submit, done! It’s seriously so quick and easy.

“Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.” – Hamilton Wright Mabie

My very favorite part of the holidays is getting those perfect gifts that make the kids light up when they open them. Last year was Abby’s first Christmas – and we got her this amazing bouncy car. Daddy cut custom-made vinyl to add her name to the bumper too. She totally squealed with little-baby excitement when she saw it!! That was the very best part of my entire day. So this year, Grandma got her a super cute pink-plush rocking horse, that makes horsey sounds – and we got her a Tricycoo, that she can use now and grow into over the next year. I can’t wait until Christmas morning – and it’s awesome that our holiday toy spending can earn me a free gift card too!

Remember –

Register your MasterCard today! This offer is valid until 12/31/11.

Beech Nut Baby Food Coupons – Plus Freebies and Deals!

Big Savings on Beech Nut Baby Food!

Abby ate anything – From the very first time I put a spoon up to her mouth, there was NOTHING that she wouldn’t finish. She’s my little Chunka :) I have a Baby Brezza, and made most of her baby food – but I’m a busy momma, and there were plenty of times that she got jars of pre-made food too. Beech Nut was my favorite – the flavor, texture, and color are much closer to “real” foods. And Abby ate them twice as fast as other baby foods, so I know she preferred them too! {Lol.} I know feeding a baby gets expensive quick, so I wanted to share these great coupons I found with you guys –
