How I did it
How to make Salsa
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: My husband and I actually had been 'taste testing' friends and family's recipes for over a year.  My niece married into a Mexican family and when we were over for their gift opening, her mother-in-law had a big pot of salsa.  I WAS AWESOME!!  I asked my niece to get the recipe and I made it...  my first batch wasn't hot enough for my husband but I think I have it figured out now!

How to cook a new meal once a month
It took me
1 year
It made me
hungry

How I did it:     I used cook books and tried new things...  sometimes I would try more than one recipe a month and then I could skip a month but still have something to fill in.  I'm glad that I did it because I've found a lot of really good recipes that both my hubby and I enjoy...

How to be a mom
It took me
9 months
It made me
JOYFUL

How I did it: Well, we 'tried to have a baby'...  got pregger after about 3 months of trying...  waited 9 months and Waylon came into our lives!  It has been a learning experience to say the least but I think my hubby and I have finally figured out some of this parenting stuff. Read how I did it…

Lose 30 pounds (read all 10 entries…)
Ok so that last entry from January... 4 weeks ago

was a joke… I didn’t start watching what I was eating or exercising!

So, here we go again… I started Weight Watcher, again, and my starting weight is 192.2. I was surprised because I honestly thought I was around the 200 mark. So I know I need to lose at least 30lbs. but I’m just going to go for the first 20.

I CAN AND WILL DO IT!

This time I have a bit more motivation… I want to have another baby next year (or whenever it happens) and I can not start off overweight again. I had a lot of issues being on the verge of gestational diabetes that I don’t want to deal with that again.
