I’ve got a video update this week for you:

Overall, I had a crazy week last week culminating in Sunday’s Girl Scout Lunch. Yes, I literally stressed about it, because I had no idea what we were eating. I also paid for it, so I wasn’t going to bring a lunch bar with me. That being said, I did well. I was able to eat small portions and felt good when I left that I didn’t mess anything up. I ate half of the soup, I took a small amount of noodles and mashed potatoes. I also had a piece of chicken but pulled off the skin. Getting on the scale this morning, I was a tad nervous, but was happy to see a 1.8 lb weight loss!

I also have people coming up to me now asking me how I am losing weight and telling me I look good. That is a great feeling and definitely a motivator. However, this week will be a test. Madison’s First Communion in Saturday, so we have a super busy week ahead of us. I am hoping to do NO stress eating. I also plan on having some of the food we are making and ordering on Saturday, so I am hoping that by eating that in moderation, I still lose weight this week too! For once though, I have faith in myself that it will happen! When I started, I never imagined that I would have lost almost 34 lbs already!

THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 1.8
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 33.8

I have found my new favorite place to shop online.  Why do you ask?  I just found the best deal ever on a Leapster 2 by using Shop.com.  Now, Leapster 2s on their own run around $79.99, so when I saw this one, I got super excited.  See, this one with a game is $79.99!  This gets even better too!  If you look closely at the Leapster, it is Star Wars!  Now, Madison is a Star Wars freak, so I can only imagine how excited she would be to see this under the Christmas tree from Santa!  I am excited, and this isn’t even for me.  Also, because it black, this can easily be passed down from Madison to Will.  I don’t have to worry about hearing that it’s a girl color!  (Yes, I am thinking that far ahead).

Now, Shop.com has over 2,000 stores, so you can definitely find something for everyone there.  You can type just about anything in the search engine on there, and it’ll pull it up.  You will see all the stores that carry that item plus how much each one wants for it.  I also love that purchases can be made using one universal “shopping cart” to buy everything at one time or by clicking over to participating merchants’ sites.  You can easily get all your Christmas shopping done at one site and know you are getting the best price!  I love that this takes some of the time and stress off me.  I love that I found her present, and I was just browsing through the toys! Shop.com also has expert advice, shopping tips, and articles.  My only complaint is that you can’t search through the toys by age (which is important when you have an 18 month old, since he still sticks everything in his mouth).

If you want a one stop shop for your Christmas shopping this year, Shop.com should be it.  See you there, because I am going to do some more shopping!
