snow day.

School is canceled. The shop is closed.
excellent.
My mom is visiting this week. It has been nice having her around to help out.
Just trying to keep her from baking a bunch of stuff.

One more picture of my cute little peanut outside.

new jeans

Went to the store yesterday to spend a gift certificate I got as a late birthday present. I decided this was a great time to try on some jeans. I am happy to report I needed a smaller size! Very close to needing a smaller size yet. So I just bought one pair hoping that I will down another size sooner then later.

happy day.

new toys

My new slow cooker.












First meal cooked in said slow cooker - chicken a la king








And now to introduce my new food scale. I picked it up tonight at Orange Tree Imports. Love the orange color! I have thought about buying one of these for awhile but never had. I stopped there to drop off a few things and decided to look around...and found this little gem. I weighted out my 1 serving tonight and felt like I ate plenty. We even had leftovers. Now I just have to get back into the journal!

slow cooker

can't wait to get home and see how my new slow cooker is working out. Bought it on Black Friday. Hoping that I can plan meals in advance to make things easier when I get home from work. I just need to find a good cookbook that has lots of healthy options in it.

I also update my weight for the month. Down to 276. Hoping for 273. But I did earn new jeans as my reward. I need them.

Report later on my Chicken A La King
