It's a lose-lose situation.

The Texans have been doing AWESOME this season! We made it to playoffs for the first time ever and I'm glad to have witnessed it. But alas, we were beat by the Ravens today so we're out of the running. Better luck next year! {I still love you, Brian Cushing!}

The other losing situation? Oh yeah! I am down 5.6lbs this week for my first week OP. I feel great!!!! I'm starting to eat more consciously and exercise a bit more. Lets see if I can get Jeff to jump on this with me too. :)

So far, everything has been going okay. Truck is still dead, but I'm hoping to fix that soon.

Holy Bejeezus!

I got to try my hand at Once A Month Cooking. It's a GREAT concept, yanno, to cook everything in 1-2 days or so and freeze. Thaw, heat, and eat, like a TV dinner. I started today (Note: I started at Noon, and I didn't prepare everything the night before) and everything went well so far. I'm just REALLY exhausted because I'm not used to cooking so much at one time, and AGAIN, I wasn't prepared like I should have been. So this is gonna go on for another day, haha. And before you start thinking "Oh Shanna, you're so awesome at organizing" think again. I cheated! I went to "Once A Month Mom" and she's purely amazing. She makes a variety of menus each month, shopping lists, labels, and instructions on what to do.


All in all, it's a pretty good day.

Happy New Year!

So, it's 2012.

I have a new mantra or "saying" to add to my "Let it be".

"Shake it off, pick yourself up, they say. Your life fell apart in your hands, and you've got the scars to prove it. Wave goodbye to the past. You've got your whole life to lead."

-August Burns Red: Composure

That's pretty inspirational to me.
