I'm so happy that I've decided to kick my ass into gear and start working towards a more healthy me.  I decided that March 1st would be my official start date of my 6 Month Weight Loss Challenge, and I have been pinning food, recipe, and workout inspiration stuff on Pinterest like a mad-woman!  Here are some that I've found inspiring and motivational:

I love anything with cute illustrations, and these are really cute (and informative!)

 These delicious apple sandwiches plus 22 other On-The-Go-Breakfasts can be found HERE!

 Oh man!  These look so fun!  YUM!

These are all really great ideas...and simple too!

These Baked Zucchini Fries look sooo delicious!  I think they'd go great with veggie burgers!

What are some of your favorite healthy foods?

List: 2014 Oscar Winners & Highlights

I had such a swell day yesterday!  The high here on Saturday was 86 and then Sunday we woke up to a day full of sleet and snow!!!  I made a quick trip out for groceries and then rushed back and changed into my "stay-in-and-relax-all-day" outfit: leggings, over sized Hulk sweater, and giant slouchy socks :)  Lazy cozy days are my favorite :)

So on with today's Movie List: 2014 Oscar Winners!  13 of my 21 picks were winners!  So exciting!  Here's the breakdown:
All of these were my picks!  I did originally say Sandra Bullock for Best Actress since she was the only one I had seen in the category, but felt it would be Blanchett so I casted my vote to her on my official ballot!  Woohoo!
I was so excited for Lupita Nyong'o when she won for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.  Her genuine response and speech made me cry!

I also really enjoyed Jared Leto's acceptance speech.

Ellen did a great job hosting.  I'm sure you've all seen her twitter crashing mega selfie...here it is anyways:


I cracked up laughing numerous times throughout the show.  I loved the whole pizza bit hahaha:


 Lupita wore the most gorgeous gown EVER!  And I love her hair.  Gosh she's pretty!  Also, I love that McConaughey and Leto wore white.  And I love Leto's red bow tie :)


Sadly, Leo left without an Oscar again, but I do like this:
