Happy Healthy Monday

by Karla Urwitz

I am tired. It’s one reason I hate Monday’s.  Sunday night I seem to think I can stay up later because I am not tired enough to go to bed. I got about 5 hours sleep so it will catch up with me today.

I have to give myself a pat on the back becuase for the past 3 weeks I have brought my lunch with me to work. I may have missed a day or two but it’s much better than going out everyday.  I have to become a frugal queen because as of next week I am paying for 2 houses which will suck.  I really need to become obsessed with coupons I think.  I am just not patient.

This week I didn’t gain nor did I lose so I guess that is okay. I am going to be having some giveaways coming soon to the site which one will be for me to review a Leslie Sansone DVD and then do a giveaway. I am excited for that. I don’t have any of her DVD’s as I have lost some so I will be happy to do that and I think it will be okay for my knees.

We got new living room furniture over the weekend, FB friends can see pictures on my page. I am almost afraid to sit on them. It looks so good.

Anyway, hope you all have a super day and enjpy the recipe.
