I just quit Weight Watchers as of 10 minutes ago. Actually I got off the phone with the nice lady at corporate who made the cancellation official. I know what you're thinking, "Sara, you're so close to your goal! (only 5 pounds away!) Why quit now? You're a quitter!" Well, that's what I was thinking a couple weeks ago as I was praying about whether or not to continue being a member.

But when it comes down to what is best for me and my family, I decided it is time to stop. I'm still going to follow the eating plan, but I am no longer going to weigh in weekly and skip out on the meetings.

That's right. I haven't attended a meeting in over a month.

I thought they were lame so I stopped going. And I can't keep paying $39.95 a month to not even attend.

So from now on, every Monday, I am going to weigh-in at home and tell you about my progress. A little online accountability, if there is such a thing.

I am also going to share with you my fitness/food goals for the week!

But no, I'm not going to tell you how much I weigh!

We're on the cusp of a new month, so I have taken some time to come up with some weight loss goals that I will accomplish in the month of September! (See, I told you, I haven't lost my focus!)

I want to see a 6-10 pound loss!
And I'm getting back on my intense workout plan - 7 hours a week, broken down into 5 mornings and two evenings.

Notice that my new weight loss goals surpass my WW goal! That's right. I'm going for it! Nothing is going to stop me, except getting pregnant or another stress fracture!

But that's not going to happen anytime soon!

So you have a big responsibility now, holding me accountable to my goals.

But please don't be annoying about. I will not tolerate annoying people.

Those are great goals, I have no doubt you can accomplish them. And, while we are at it, how would you feel about keeping me accountable as well? I need it!

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
