Thankful Thursday

Today I am joining Rebecca Jo for her Thankful Thursday. It has been a while and I am excited to join in the fun and gratitude today!

I am so thankful for fresh hair color!!! I am soooo grey and it does not suit me well. I had been using "crack spray" on my part to cover the grey but "the crack" (roots growing out) got to be 2 inches long and I HAD to get to my hairstylist! I go to Cheveux Impressions Salon and Spa and Ann works wonders!!! I have followed her around for over 15 years now and she is a miracle worker with hair!!! Cheveux is her own salon that she opened a few years ago - if you live in the area I promise you will love her!  She is an amazing stylist! She was able to fit me in last night and I am sooo happy!!! Yippee...fresh cut and color!!!

I am thankful I have finally made the decision to go full out on the Nutrisystem program! I will keep you posted on my progress! I have no self control so I am counting on sticking to their portion control! The cheese puffs that were my snack at work today were awesome!!!! 
Fingers crossed my willpower holds out!!! HA!

I am thankful that my new shower curtain arrived!!! I love flamingos ever since my trip to Aruba this last time...you can see the pictures HERE!!

So, for my birthday my family got me these adorable flamingo towels and I decided to go all out with new decor for the bathroom. I will do a post when it is totally completed.


Today I am thankful that I have a grateful heart. Sometimes I am not as grateful as others but today I am very aware and grateful for all I am blessed with - including blog friends, family, my health and so much support and inspiration daily!


I am sending out huge hugs to you all! If you wish to join in; go connect up with Rebecca Jo! Also, thank you to Rebecca Jo for hosting each week and reminding s of what we have to be grateful for!

What are you thankful for today?

Random Thoughts on Wednesday

Hi everyone!

I can not keep a thought straight in my head! Work is crazy busy - I am a member of the team that is divesting different parts of our company.

Sadly, as the site where I work begins closing, my job will get busier untill they tell me goodbye....so, right now my team is crazy busy!!!

I got my car back yesterday!!! I never realized how much I love my Civic! I was so happy to drive it again!! No charge and it runs like new!! Yay!

Anyone else playing Pokemon Go??  I cannot understand why all of the sudden there are Diglett's and Cubone's everywhere!?!? On Easter there were eggs and bunnies but I can't figure out what the connection is with these guys all of the sudden?!?! If you are a walker you would love Pokemon Go! You walk and hatch eggs and catch fun little critters along the way! HA!

My "humbirds" are back!!!!!!  I had my first hummingbird today!!! YIPPEE!!! Did you notice I said "my humbirds" - LOL!!!  I took this picture as I was pulling out of my parking lot this morning! The hummingbird was hanging around my Fuscia plant but you can hardly see him in this picture. I will be sure to get better photos soon!!!

I am back trying to lost weight again! I am so sick of this struggle and I was just going to ignore it....but I just keep gaining if I pay no attention so it is definitely time!  I am back on Nutrisystem and I will keep you posted as to my progress! Here is breakfast - a yummy blueberry muffin! It kept me full all morning...well, that muffin and an apple. 

I do Nutrisystem and then supplement in fresh veggies and fruit from Aldi's. If nothing else; the food tastes really good, keeps you full a long time (although portions are controlled) and is super convenient (prep is crazy quick and easy). Another thing I like it is can be stored anywhere! Does not take up any refrigerator or freezer space!

If anyone has every thought about it and wants to give Nutrisystem a try...I have a link to save you 40%!

40% Off!!

 That is all of the randomosity I have to give you today...

I have a lot coming up...work trips and personal so things should stay pretty busy around here for awhile.

Hugs to you all - I hope you all have a fantastic week! 

Do you struggle to gain or lose weight? Have you always or is it a recent struggle?  What do you do to lose or control your weight? Do you put out feeders for the birds in the summer? Any Pokemon Goers out there?!?!

Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday time!

Whoopie!!

Come on over to Rebecca Jo's blog Knit by God's Hands and join in the gratitude!!! It will make you feel soooo good!!!!

Today I am very thankful just to still be employed (for a few more months maybe) and...better yet...so very thankful to be allowed to work from home when roads are treacherous!!
 

The three pictures above were taken as I sat on the side of the road at various times yesterday. I tried to leave my housing plan (once at 7am and then again 8am) and just kept sliding off the to the side.  Then I just gave up! UGH! I finally slipped and slid right back to my house!!!!
 
I called my boss and let him know I could not make it in. He was okay with it.

Later in the day, on a conference call, someone that did make it in that morning said there was only like 8 people in the WHOLE building!

Cudos to those that braved the drive but I am not about to wreck my car or lose my life for my job! I would rather burn a vacation day if it came down to that! 

Isn't this gadget the coolest thing ever?!?!? I got it from Nutrisystem! It is a salad keeper! The lettuce goes in the container; dressing goes in the little cup on top and when you spin the cup on top it dumps the dressing in when you want ot add it to the salad!! NO MORE SOGGY LETTUCE!!! YIPPEE!!!

The second lid also has an ice pack to keep the dressing and lettuce cold! How totally cool is that?!?!? It is made by Fit and Fresh! Such a cool little contraption to take salad to work!! Thanks Nutrisystem!!! I love it!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy day! Stay hunkered down those of you that are getting hit by the storm that got us yesterday!  Think safe and warm!!! HUGS!

Did you get the snow and storm? Are you getting it today? Do you have any tips for winter driving? Do you drive in bad weather or hunker down? What are you thankful for today?
