Past two weeks wrapped into one post!

So for the past two weeks I have been 143, that is down 1.4lbs from 3 weeks ago... Which is great but I got off track these last two weeks. I am getting back on track starting tomorrow though. I need this weight gone. Thankfully, I have not gained any extra weight to loose :) I have also been busy and not posting but I a back to doing that also! It helps keep me focused on my goals and make me accountable. 
Feb 05,13-Feb 12,13
Next weigh in on Feb 26th

V-day care package

Here is my Valentine's day box to my love in Afghan-land. He has not received it yet but I thought I would share what I did and where I got the ideas from. Some are my own and some from this great website I follow to help strengthen our marriage! 
He asked for some things that were not part of my plan for the box and took up space, but he needed it :/

 This is the box all put together. I love to decorate these boxes and I am hoping my husband likes them too. 

I baked him some chocolate cookies with pink M&Ms inside. wrote I <3 U on them with frosting and added sprinkles. The tin I bought held 22 I wanted to place them so that he could read what they said. I placed wax paper between layers so hopefully the make it and do not stick together!

So this is what's in the box besides 3 air odor eliminating jar bead things,
.I love the little monkey, he is the cutest.
I will start right back to right front. so the first thing is a crazy signing card from Walmart  i love these cards. next in the pink wrap is dark chocolate covered cherries. I know you are thinking "won't they melt?" probably not since he has been telling me it is actually really cold there right now. Next would be Nutella to go, last minute add-in when I was at Walmart getting the odor things. Then is this great printable for kisses each day (or in my case, change to each month) we are apart. I got this lovely printable from the Dating Divas and I will post links at the bottom of this post. okay so next in the small tin is some heart candy. In front that is a sucker that says I love you, then angry birds v-day candy! (how perfect is that for a guy) next is a candy box filled with those little convo heart things. (shh! I ate a few while putting them in the cute box I found at my local grocery store). Last but not least is a little note that our FRG put together to put on a poster to the guys. Sadly, it was going to the other FOB and not the one my husband is at, so I sent my hand written one to him. There was another printable that I did not catch in my photo, its really sweet. It is a poem heart that you choose the words to yourself and they make it in heart form so you can print it out. (also from the Dating Divas).... (can you tell I love them?)

                           This is my fav. box so far.
Here are the links to the printables:

Measurements on the 1STs

So I just realized I forgot my weigh in Tuesday post so I will add it in to this one.
So I am down 4.6 lbs since starting this journey on Jan 1st... Very exciting.
Measurements:
Bust: 38.5" -1"                                          Butt/low Hip area: 38.5" -1"
Love handle/pooch: 37" -0.5"                    Arm: 11" -1"
Calf: 14" -0.5"                                           Neck 12.5" no change
Waist: 29.5" -3"!!!!                                    Thigh: 21" -0.5"


So I lost inches pretty much everywhere. I may hate the Jillian Michaels DVD  the my fitness pal app, my Treadmill and belly trimmer that makes me sweat but the results for 1 month are amazing! I am so happy. By the time my husband gets back from deployment I will look like a whole new woman!! YAY!! such a great day. I am only on day 28 of my 30 day challenge so I will finish that and then choose another DVD that I will share with you. :)
