X minus 4

My resolve... and so it begins....

I find that I'm not as intimidated by weight loss thanks to the Christmas present Justin and I bought ourselves -- or rather, me saying I AM BUYING THIS and it's really expensive so let's forget buying anything else for ourselves. And he's all, Score! I don't have to shop!

Meet the newest member of our family -- thheeeee VitaMix*! We have used this nearly every day since we bought it, often twice a day. And have made history with it -- FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, we actually used a huge container of Costco spinach without having to throw any out!! Is that a lame thing to be proud of? Work with me, people.

*Is it possible to have a crush on an appliance?

Yes, it is indeed possible to have a crush on an appliance. I've been in love with Mr. Coffee for years...

Good job Kristi!

What a way to kick off the new year!

But can it whip up a Bass?

Great job!!
So, is it a blender?
I was thinking it would probably make good margaritas to celebrate at minus 30.

Not lame at all to crush on an appliance. I got an immersion blender from Costco this Christmas, and I can't stop looking at it. Of course, a VitaMix is no doubt much more amazing, and someday I'll jump on that bandwagon, too. As soon as this blender dies.

I am head over heels for my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. And our Delonghi coffee machine. And that vitamix is amazing - my MIL has one and you can juice anything!

Rock on with x-4!

So, you blended spinach and drank it? Wow, I'm proud of you for a lot of reasons. Not sure I could do that. I'd like to see a video demonstration, please :)

Spinach and strawberries and blueberries and carrots and and and... DEEELICIOUS!

Carrie said...

Please don't tell me you actually drink the spinach??
I'm all for Katie's idea ... margaritas! Ditch the spinach. Heck, don't even buy it next time you're at Costco. Just go straight to the tequila. I'm sure you'll still lose weight! Right?
