My Pink Designers Monthly Post-February

Hi, it's Maria with this month's My Pink Designer Monthly Post. This is where ALL the My Pink Designer's get together and do a combined post together.  This month I got a crazy idea in my head when I decided on a challenge.

This is what I asked the Designer's for...

Use as many My Pink Stamper stamps from any set(s) on ONE project. It can be a card, scrapbook page or mini book.

Are you ready to be amazed??!! Some designer's used over 100 stamps!!!! Think of this as a mini Blog Hop. There was NO way we could show you below the full spectrum of the projects each of them made. Please go to each of their Blog's and have a look at all of them and let them know what you think. This crazy idea turned into an amazing set of projects which made me incredibly happy! We would love to see what you make with this crazy idea.

My Pink Loser - Wednesday Weigh In & Check In!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

I hope you all had a FABULOUS Valentine's Day!  My husband and I actually had a pretty comical one last night.  We came to the conclusion that the most important thing about our marriage is each other and if everything doesn't go according to plan, that is okay!  LOL!  We waited 2 hours to be sat at a restaurant then ended up leaving and going to a fast food hamburger place and had a yummy dinner.  It's all about the company you are with, right?  It actually was a pretty funny situation.    Here are some of our Valentine's Day pictures...

Here is a picture from our ALL PINK Valentine's Breakfast.  I started this tradition about 5 years ago and it is something that my kids look forward to every Valentine's.  The great thing is that I usually don't have to cook anything!  I am still making my kids a hot breakfast before school every day but I didn't have to on Pink Day because of all the yummy pre-made pink stuff!!

Okay, now after looking at all the pink Yummy goodness, how about I do my weekly weigh in!  LOL!! I was thinking that it would be bad this morning especially since I had a hamburger, french fries, and ice cream last night but I did okay.  Here we go....

This week's weight loss:  1.2

Pounds to go:  17.2

Total weight lost:  9.8 since December  25th

I am still wearing my Body Media arm band and finding that it is working great for me.  For example, the other night I had some dessert that I probably shouldn't have.  I plugged in my armband to my computer and figured out how many more calories I needed to lose for the day to cover it.  Then, I turned on the music in My Pink Loft and danced off the extra 200 calories!!  Normally I would have just given up for the night!

Don't miss tomorrow!  I have a very special Guest Designer!!

Happy Valentine's Day & Goodie Bags!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Today is such a special day around our house because it is PINK DAY!!  I get up early and make the kids a breakfast that is entirely PINK!  I will share the pictures with you later today.  I have been busy working on 68 goodie bags for my 3 youngest boys' classes.  I think they turned out soooo super cute!

Hello Everyone!!


It is time for MY PINKALICIOUS BLOG HOP and we are also going to celebrate 10 Million Hits on mypinkstamper.com!!!  I would never have dreamed 5 years ago, when I started my blog, that so many of you would join us and become my blog/craft/online friends!  I feel so honored and blessed to be able to do what I love while sharing it with you all!  Biggest hugs in the world to all of you!!

Blog Hop Rules:- Please make something original just for this hop.  Meaning, don't find something you've already made that goes along with the theme and then upload it.  That is not a true challenge.  - Have fun!- When you post your project on your blog please link back here so others can also participate.  The more people there are, the more projects, and the more ideas for YOU!- Please do not use my blog hop to promote your own business.  This has been happening on other blogs and so it needs to be brought up.    It's totally okay if you own a business to participate but please do not direct or promote your business through the link you share on my blog.  :)  - You have until Sunday night to complete your project and you can make as many projects as you'd like!
Tonight's Challenge: Use the color red, a circle, a pink ribbon and MORE THAN ONE  My Pink Stamper stamp. (If you don't own any of my stamp sets yet, that is okay!  Use what you have).  Also, use a die cut with this challenge!  Anything will work!

My Pink Loser Wednesday Weigh In!! (Update!)

It's time for my weekly My Pink Loser check in!  You can skip this post if you aren't interested in following me on my "getting healthy" journey.  I will still love you!  LOL!!

Weird because I'm kind of embarrassed posting my weight on this website but I wasn't on My Pink Loser!  (blushing)!  How about if I just put how much I've lost since last week and how much I have to go??  Okay, that's what I'm doing!

Weekly Weight Loss - .8 pounds!  I'll take it!!
Pounds to go - 18.4 (I can do it!)

Exercise!

This week since I've been feeling better, I have been playing a lot of tennis and running!!  

Friday - 2 hours of tennis, ran 1 mile on the treadmill

Saturday - 1 1/2 hours of tennis, ran 4 miles on the treadmill (go Robyn!)

Sunday - No exercise.  My day of rest.

Monday - Ran 3 miles.

Tuesday - 2 hours of high intensity tennis.  Lots of running around the court!

Wednesday - 3 miles on the treadmill.  Upper body weights.

Nutrition!

I have been trying to keep track of everything I have been eating.  It really does help to write it all down. I have been using the techniques I learned from Weight Watchers and making sure that I am eating enough filling foods so that I am not starving during the day.  I LOOOOVE my BodyMedia arm band, even though it was kind of pricey.  I figure that since I am not paying for a meeting right now, it is so worth it!  

Chat with us over on My Pink Loser Facebook Page HERE!  Join the journey!

Okay, I've got to run.  My hubby is bringing me home a healthy lunch of Subway!!  YUMMY!  I'm starving!
