Today I am joining in on What's up Wednesday...create your post and link up with Shay and Sheaffer.
What I'm eating this week?
I found this amazing smoked salmon at Costco this week. One package is $15 and has three pieces of salmon in it! Once I got it home; I was even more excited to learn that it was already cooked so I only needed to heat it up in the microwave for 90- seconds! Talk about a quick and delicious salad topper!!! YUM!

What I'm reminiscing about
Aruba!!!! I did not go this year and I am so sorry about that! I love Aruba and I think I will need to travel there at least once a year from now on...
What I'm loving
My Starbucks January mug I got for Christmas from my sister!!! It is free refills on regular coffee or tea once a day for the whole month of January!!! This has saved me so much money already this year! LOVE THIS! Thank you Kerry!!!
What I've been up to…
Mostly work, work, work but I snuck in a weekend away to Florida. I attended a Women's Conference there and it was completely uplifting and I feel sooo recharged!
What I'm working on...
Finally serious about losing this weight I have gained. I have gained so much and am headed in the right direction finally by doing barre class twice every morning before work. I get up at 4:30 AM and do class at 5:30 and 6:30. I am down 8 pounds since the beginning of the month so I am super happy!
What I'm excited about…
I will be heading back to Florida to hang out with my parents for a week or so when they head down for a month in March. I am so happy they take this time to get our of the cold and have fun in Florida. Super excited to golf when I am down there!
What I'm watching/reading…
I love This is Us, Manifest, and A Million Little Things. Currently not reading anything.
What I'm listening to...
anything that comes up on my iPod
What I'm wearing…
This jacket I got at Walmart! What a steal for $21...it is super cute and so warm!
What I'm doing this weekend…
As of now, nothing!!! YAY me! I will chilling with myself and may watch a little of the Superbowl but not making it a priority! I will be rooting for the Chiefs as I spent a little time there working last year and my Steelers are out. :-(
What I'm looking forward to next month?
One month closer to Summer???
What else is new?
Nothing else at all. Basically working and waiting until we hear that our jobs are over. It is coming but we are not exactly sure when...Fun Fun Fun!
You had me at smoked salmon. Love all the topic starters though.
ReplyDeleteRight?!?!?! I had no idea that you only have to heat it if it is smoked - no idea!!! It is my NEW go to!!!! HA!!!!
Deleteyay for the weight loss, exercise is what does the trick along with eating all those power greens and strawberry. thanks for the salmon tip. I will look for it... for 3 years I have been in TOPS and have lost 63 pounds. I am 1.8 from my goal.... you are losing weight the right way, heathy eating and excericse.. good luck...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on almost making your goal!!! That is awesome Sandra!!! I know, I have done this so many times but I definitely want to do it the right way - no matter how long it takes! I feel so much better already just getting up early and exercising! Congrats to you and have a great day Sandra!
DeleteWay to go on the weight loss. I need to lose 20 pounds. I didn't gain any weight over the holidays though. Didn't eat any sweets and we didn't go to any parties.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Impressive that you maintained over the holidays! I have NEVER done that - HA! That is another reason I waited until January to start - HEE!! Have a fantastic weekend Sandi!!
DeleteI bet you really loved the long month of January with that mug!!!
ReplyDeleteI gotta remember to get it next year.
Yes Rebecca Jo!!! I was thinking today...oh my goodness, where has the month gone????? How is this the last day!!!!! So sad - until next year I pay for my coffee again.....HA HA! It is a great deal for yourself or a gift!!! Have a fantastic week!!! HUGS
DeleteNice! Congrats on the weight loss. It isn't easy.
ReplyDeleteNo it is not Sharon but it is definitely worth it! I have a long way to go but I already feel so much better-mostly mentally at this point!! Have a great day Sharon -HUGS!
DeleteLast year Manifest filmed scenes right in front of my office building. I didn't see any of the actors while they were filming, but when I was watching the show it was so exciting to see Zeke and Michaela standing in front of my office
ReplyDeleteNo!!!! I am so jealous!!!!! I love both of them - especially Michaela~!!!!! Where do you live? Do they film there all the time?? That is awesome!!! Have a great day!
DeleteThat smoked salmon sounds delicious! Great job on the weight loss!!
ReplyDeleteThe salmon is amazing and it is so much easier!! I used to have to cook it on my George Foreman grill and that took forever to clean after....this is so easy since it just needs heated!! AMAZING!! Have a great day - HUGS!
DeleteI think it must be time for a nice big steak after that week's menu.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I may have to run for a burger soon!!! You are correct! HA HA! Have a great weekend Andrew!
DeleteAnother Florida trip?!! Where this time? It would be so fun to say hello in person. If I was eating on my own, my diet would be the same as it was before Joe... mac and cheese with tuna tossed in sometimes! One pot!! LOL
ReplyDeleteSo easy right!?!? I love mac and cheese with tuna! My parents will be staying at the Villages for a month so I will be visiting there...I think it is near Orlando? It would be lovely to meet in person!!!! Have a great day! HUGS!
DeleteThe smoked salmon sounds good and even better that you can just microwave it.
ReplyDeleteGood for you losing the weight. I wish I could.
Thank you Ann - I have a lot to go but it is finally headed in the right direction! Thanks for the kind word and wishes! Hugs - have a great week!
DeleteWell you are doing the weight loss the right way. That diet should do it all by itself. I need to look for smoked salmon. Love salmon and smoked fish so it should be a winner. I have a coat a lot like that one and it is warm.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out Costco...they had a lot of it at ours...I am actually headed back today to see if it is still there! It is so yummy and easy!!! Yes, I love the coat- so warm and you cant beat the price!!! Have a great day Patti! HUGS
DeleteGreat job on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteIs the barre class online?
I am horrible at exercise.
Cheering for the Chiefs here too!
Yay! Go Chiefs!!!! I think you can find some examples online! You would like it if you like low impact...it is a great workout! I am horrible at exercise too but I just tale off my glasses in class and I can't see how terrible I look - LOL! It works!
DeleteGo 49ers but if they win I am not looking ahead to going to work on the parade day. Way too drunk people early in the morning trying to get their spot.
ReplyDeleteLOL! So you will not take the day off of work to celebrate?!?! Good luck to you team also Patrick - I have no dog in the fight - LOL! Good luck maneuvering around all the drunk celebrators! HA HA
DeleteGood stuff as always. Nice going on the barre classes and weight loss! A trip someplace sunny and warm sounds great right now.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really short getaway Abby! I could use another one already! HA! I am planning a trip to Erie to look for Sea Glass this weekend although it will not be warm - HA! Have a great day!!! HUGS
DeleteI am so happy for you on your weight loss journey. It is a tough road to go down, but way to go. I like working out when I am done, but during it, it sucks. Ha. That Starbucks mug is an amazing deal and I really need to do that next time. I am sooo looking forward to a Niners win! But I just hope it is a good game either way.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your team as well!!! Thanks for the kind words...it definitely does suck when I am doing it but you feel totally amazing afterwards! HA!
DeleteGood for you on taking charge and working on your weight loss. What are the Power Greens that you mentioned in your salmon. I love smoked salmon so it sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Robin! It is a bag of greens from Costco...it has Baby kale, beet tops and spinach...it is really yummy and packed with nutrition! I always find it at Costco. The smoked salmon is a game changer for a quick salad!!! So much easier than getting out the Foreman grill and having to clean it!! Have a great day - HUGS
