Slim Down

After being gone for an entire weekend my husband did some research on a get out of debt plan. We have considered a 3rd party but wanted it to be a perfect situation. Quentin took it upon himself to consult a company that we pay $420.00 to and then they work with the credit card companies. We are now able to save money each month AND pay off our credit cards. Something we are both wanting to do. I'm so proud of my husband because he reached out for help. This is going to take awhile and our credit score is going to take a hit BUT we are doing what we can without filing bankrupt.

With getting my health figured out and our financial situation figured out I can't help but see 2012 as our Slim Down year. Its funny because we seem to have themes for each year without even trying. One year we traveled allot and so we called it our Travel Year. Then the next year we didn't have much money but enjoyed doing small things as a family and it was our Back to Home year. Now we have our Slim Down year and its not just debt but my weight loss.... I CAN'T WAIT! I just keep thinking that if I do everything right I will be down at least 32lbs in 4 months! So that means in 8 months I could be down 64 O.o That would be amazing. And then with our new debt plan we could have a card or 2 paid off next year. Its possible but not Logical but at least we have a good plan for BOTH Slim down situations! 

My Fitness Pal

Here is my updated weight loss. I wasn't able to weigh in on the 28th so I had to weigh in on the 3rd of this month BUT I was happy to see I lost 3.3lbs already! I'm also now using a phone app called my fitness pal and what it does is takes all your basic info height, weight, age, gender, and how many pounds you want to loose each week. I have mine set at 2.0lbs per week and to get to my goal weight of ___ I have a total intake of 1,380 calories I can have each day. I'm happy because you can either manually enter the calories, you can scan the bar code of a specific item, OR you can do a search on the food item you are looking for. Its a great way to keep track of what you are eating but the best part is when you work out you can put in how long you worked out and what you did and it will calculate how many calories you burned. I'm only on day 3 of using this and so hopefully on the 28th my number's are lower but if not I'm SURE they will be in December. 

Something you might be wondering is "What happens when you reach your goal weight?" Well the best part about that is you can calculate how many calories a day you can have to maintain your weight. And if you eat to much and go over your calorie intake for the day it will tell you "if you do this everyday in 5 weeks you will weigh..." and then it will tell you so it keeps you honest and in check. I'm thinking this is an app I don't mind having for the REST of my life!!! 


I'm so excited about loosing weight now with this handy dandy tool. I can't help but get excited for how much I'm going to loose in the next few weeks!!!
