This magazine is worth the $5.00!

To contact us Click HERE
Good morning money savers! I normally do not go on and gush about a magazine but the April 2012 issue of Real Simple is amazing! It came in the mail yesterday and is all marked up with post its, pen marks and notes inside... Now I don't know if you will save $5,000 this year like the cover claims (ummm.... no one is going to car pool to save $500 a year in Chicago at my job) but they do have so many great ideas that I will be putting in effect right away!
Really every penny of the $4.99 you spend is well worth it, money saving advice, really good advice on food storage and a lemon pudding cake recipe I can't wait to make! Lots of times magazines are just something that I feel like after reading it for the 25 minutes that I just wasted the money, but I really think this will be a go-to guide for you.

The best cookie sheets for your money

To contact us Click HERE
. Part of saving money is buying great quality products that will last along time. There is nothing I love more than baking things for my sweet co-workers, family and darling boyfriend. I use up cookie sheets like crazy they just get gunky, old and the non stick wears off after a while. I have found the very best cookie sheets at WORLD MARKET. They cook even, things slide right off and are thick and a great value! I use the 11 x 17 inch jelly roll pans for everything. Dishwasher safe, commercial grade steel and....They are only $8.99 a sheet! 
I have also seen them on sale a few times, so be sure to look out for a good sale and World Market has coupons sometimes in Sunday papers. 
You can find a World market store close to you HERE, or always buy them online also . Happy baking, Savings and Easter.

American Girl Doll...deals???

To contact us Click HERE
American Girl Dolls came out *just* as my mom thought I was beyond the age for dolls, but can I tell you how much I wanted Samantha? She was my favorite by far. She is now retired, and I just found out her crazy high price on ebay! I almost wanted to buy her now. I used to look at every page when the dolls were catalog only, and just maybe you might find me in the store in downtown Chicago just looking around.The dolls truly are just beautiful, the soft hair, darling outfits and matching accessories can only equal hours of make-believe for any little girl (or 34 year old like my self). But beyond being just a doll, everyone has a story to go along, inspiring young girls of all ages.But the dolls are very expensive, The typical 18" doll is $95.00, but you know you need the dog, lama, American girl goat???, pjs, and so much more. Well this is a money saving website! I have a little hint from my neighbor, did you know they have a American Girl outlet? It is only a short drive from the compnay head quarters in Wisconsin, in the Oshkosh outlet mall. 
Called American Girl, it is an outlet store in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, that carries American Girl magazine and high-quality overstock and seconds of American Girl clothing, books, doll outfits, and accessories.

American Girl is located in the Outlet Shoppes at Oshkosh on US41 and Highway 44, the mall is just across the road from the EAA Air Museum at Suite A30, 3001 South Washburn Street, Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54904  and they take phone orders also 1-920-303-2222

Another milestone -- flying coach

To contact us Click HERE
Probably my biggest non-health motivator for losing weight was fitting better in airplane seats. I travel a lot, and it was no fun...
-- squeezing into a coach seat
-- getting a seatbelt extender
-- making sure I could get seated next to my wife so I didn't squeeze any stranger
-- having to buy an extra seat
-- having to pay more for first/business class to be comfortable
-- and worst of all, finding even business class Asian seats to be too small.

I flew from Seattle to New York City today in coach. And I fit in a coach seat. With lots of room to spare.

The only bad part, my tailbone hurt from the minimally padded seat and my less padded ass that used to cushion me better. It's OK, I'll take it -- aspirin is cheap.  :)


I'm a medium!

No, I can't tell your fortune!

But I can easily fit into medium-sized shirts from the Ralph Lauren outlet. Some of them are even a little baggy. That may not mean much to you, but for a guy who six months ago found XXL shirts tight in some cases, it's a big deal to me.

The funny thing is that I feel like I'm getting "punked" in clothing stores. Before, in the rare instances when I went shopping, I would have trouble finding what I wanted in XXL -- all they'd ever have were medium or large-sized clothes on sale. Now, when I go shopping, I can't find a medium, but there are LOTS of XXLs. DOH!

196.2 lbs



Best and worst product all in one...

To contact us Click HERE
I got a blister yesterday on my heel. I'm somewhat prone to these and walking around a lot in new shoes yesterday on a hot day did me in. So, I went down to the drugstore to find the best thing to help with the problem... Band-Aid Advanced Healing Blister. I discovered these things when I was in Japan (and walked a lot). They're unlike regular band-aids in that they're padded, watertight, and stick to your blister for days (or until they're healed). They are awesome!

OK, let me correct that, they WERE awesome. I went down to my drugstore yesterday to get some and found that they now only come in two sizes, both of which are too small for my man-sized blister. UGH! Now, I'm back to some inferior bandage product.

Hey, Band-Aid -- you had it right when you made these LARGE -- no one needs a blister bandage that's too small for any normal-sized blister (I tried one anyway on my blister and it ended up tearing off the blister and making things worse). Grrrr....

195.6 pounds (down 108)

"Yo-yo" dieting shouldn't be an excuse anymore...

To contact us Click HERE
I'd heard for a long time that "yo-yo" dieting would leave you heavier and less fit than before and I myself have used it as an excuse for not trying to lose weight. Well, it looks like scientific evidence now says that's a myth.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2018926404_yoyodieting16m.html

And my personal experience would tend to support that. I was talking to my wife and recounting my diet history, only to realize that I've had multiple big diets.

Age 17 - Lost about 40 pounds before going off to college.
Age 21 - Lost about 40 pounds before going off to grad school.
Age 31 - Lost about 40 pounds before moving to California.
Age 36 - Lost about 50 pounds to lower blood pressure.
Now (Age 49/50) - Lost 109+ pounds (so far) to improve health and longevity

Losing weight this time hasn't been any harder than the previous times. In fact, while not easy, mentally it might be easiest as I have the strongest motivation to do so. And I've lost weight about the same way as always, so it hasn't been significantly more difficult now that I'm older.

It's never too late to start...  :)

Weight: 194.0

I'm done (sort of)! :)

Went to the doctor today for a follow-up on my June visit and for the first time in forever was told that I don't have to lose weight. All my numbers are fantastic at 189, and she said that I will be just peachy if I stay between 185 and 189.

I think I'll try to lose a little more, maybe down to 175-180 before figuring out how to maintain at a constant weight. Thankfully, given my method, maintenance shouldn't be too complicated -- just a matter of giving myself a few more calories each day. I'm already eating everything, so there's no change in what I'm eating, just a little increase in quantity.

Overall, it's pretty cool. I didn't lose half my weight, but I did lose 37.75% of my body weight in only 206 days. Yes, and that's with going out to eat with friends and travel and my 50th birthday, and a few beers. Sorry to boast -- that's not something I do much, but it's kind of exciting to have accomplished something this ambitious in this short a time.

I'll have a follow up post this weekend listing the 10 most important things I learned from this experience.  I'll also add some before/after pics for some visual motivation.
