June 29 Vacation timeWe are enjoying the Texas Gulf Coast this week with family! We are staying in a 3 bedroom condo on the water. It's extremely hot! We're used to this. San Antonio has very hot summers too. Last year when we spent a week on the coast, it rained almost every day. Wish it would do that this year. San Antonio and Corpus Christi need the rain sooo bad. It was crazy trying to get away from San Antonio on Friday. We both worked half day and had to get end of month reports/paperwork done. We had both been working non-stop last week. I did the serious packing Thursday night until midnight and got up at 4:30am on Friday t0 get to work as early as I could. As it was, I didn't get home until after 1 Friday afternoon. It took us an hour to load up the truck and off we go!! We're having a great time! Fishing, swimming, eating, playing games, watching movies.............sleeping late cuz we're staying up late.............to be continued June 13 We did itTalk about a calorie burning workout. Try draining, cleaning and refilling a pool.............  June 09 I've Been MIAWow-I've been neglecting my world! I've kinda sorta been in a rut-but now it's summer and I'm hoping to geet back in a better routine of writing, exercising, cooking, etc.....
I'm working my part time job in the mornings and shopping the last 2 days in the afternoons. I've been very dedicated to bargain shopping with coupons. This has really paid off. The internet makes it alot easier to find good deals. People blog about the best deals and all you have to do is go do them.
Darlin Dan has lost 23 lbs. and I'm still stuck in a rut at 8 lbs. He looks great and seems to be very used to this way of eating.
I'm participating in 2 challenges with the healthmiles program throught Humana. I wear a pedometer and download my steps to my computer every night. I'm earning points that can be used to buy gift cards! I'm getting close to earning my 2nd $25 gift card. May 19 New Toy for Birthday I've been playing with my new toy-My Darlin Dan got me a Blackberry for the rest of my birthday/mother's day! I'm sooooooo spooooiiiilllleed. Anyway, we received a letter from verizon that we could get this blackberry at a good price and we grabbed it. I don't need it, but I've always wanted one-from the moment the blackberry's (?) came out. I'm learning all about it and it is so great! May 12 Working out with Wii FitDarlin Dan and I have been having a great time working out with the Wii Fit. Tonight we did some step aerobics and some boxing with step aerobics. What a blast. Danny loves to play tennis on the Wii.
Our newest game is Deal or No Deal. I got a great deal on it!! It's a hoot. May 10 Happy Mother's DayAnother birthday just passed and now it's Mother's Day! I hope everyone has a great Mom's Day!

I did some heavy duty CVS shopping. I spent about $4 for $131 worth of goodies.
I was able to play 2 games of bowling today on the Wii. My back is much better, but still not 100%. April 18 UpdateDarlin Dan has lost 20 lbs!
I gained 1 lb....I'm blaming it on my aching back. It is much better so I'll be exercising a bit more now.
Fiesta week has officially started in San Antonio. Time for some Fiesta posts! April 15 Chicho Brothers! This is one of my favorite places to go and buy produce. It is downtown and very close to a center where I attend meetings and inservices for work. I spent a whole $4.40 there today. ICHICHO BROS!April 12 HAPPY EASTERWe had a nice day. We spent the afternoon and evening at Danny's sisters house. We had BBQ and played Bingo. We had a Easter egg hunt for the children.
I didn't have a good week. Tuesday morning I hurt my back while I was getting dressed to go to work. I don't know how putting on my underwear could cause me sooo much pain, but it did. Today is the 1st day since Tuesday that I haven't taken anything for the pain. I wasn't able to work very much on Tuesday. I spent most of that day on a heating pad.. I could hardly get out of bed on Wednesday. The pain was horrible. Everyday my back felt a little better-thank God.
I haven't exercised all week-I wasnt't even taking the stairs at work. I'm thinking that I'll be able to exercise tomorrow.
April 06 Time sure flies byI lost 2 lbs this week!! Danny gained .25 lbs. He had a couple of hamburgers......WITH the bun this week.
I can't believe that Easter is this Sunday. Time sure is flying by.
Target has a coupon for .55 off Splenda. There is also a manufact. coupon from the sunday paper for $3off 2 splenda products. This is a good deal if you need some splenda. I bought some splenda coffee flavors with the coupons and spent under a $1 each. March 28 Im Stuck in a rut...Darlin Dan is my HEROWell, I'm stuck-not losing any weight-but my DARLIN DAN has lost another 2 pounds!!!!! He is trying sooooo hard! I'm soooo proud of him-he's lost 19 pounds and his pants are starting to fall off him! He's working out every day on the Wii...I wish I could say the same thing, but when I get home, I'm getting dinner on the table. I'm trying to plan better and I'm making a monthly menu. I hasven't been 100% successful with this, but it has helped. I intend to prepare some meals ahead of time this week. March 22 Chicken PosoleI made some delicious Chicken Posole for poker night. I've been very interested in hominy ever since I read that Juanita's mexican style hominy has less carbs than other hominy. With the help of Darlin Dan, I found the perfect recipe. The first time I tried to make Posole, I made it with tomato sauce...............big mistake! Darlin took me to taste menudo and told me that Chicken Posole tastes just like that.
Here's the recipe--
 INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
Serve with chopped onion and lemon.
