Week #1 Weigh-In



I never thought in a million years I'd EVER be discussing my weight on my blog. Oh well, blog for a year and you tend to forget that people are strangers...they feel more like friends! Plus, when you have as much weight to lose as I do, a 7 pound weight loss just doesn't seem like much. BUT...when you factor in that it was done in ONE WEEK!?!?! I was so excited this morning when I stepped on the scales because I realized that is 7 pounds I never have to see on my body again.

TO be honest, the only thing I did this past week was cut out sugar (except for those cookies and cupcakes I ate last night at 11:30 at my MIL's - thanks Linda - HIDE THOSE THINGS NEXT TIME!!!) and drink more water. I have a tendon or something in my foot that is preventing me from walking long distances, so I haven't been very faithful to exercise. BUT - I am recommitting, NOT quitting!

Thats Ggggrrrreat! I too have gain a little too much. Ever since I started taking college courses and homeschool, I have begun to spend mroe and more time at the ole 'puter. I have decided to get up off my 'puter (get it, LOL?) and get moving. We have been looking for parks in our area to walk through. Like you, I have found that walking makes my ankles and knees hurt, so I am working on strenghtening the muscles around the ankles and knees. Keep us posted on how you are doing!

All good things come in Threes - a giveaway!

***If you're here via Bloggy Giveaways - please go to item #3 - that's the giveaway!*** Mondays are good days for announcing things, don't you think? It's long been known that I'm a maker of lists and enjoy the pleasure of accomplishing tasks and marking them off of said lists, if for nothing else than just the satisfaction of seeing something was actually completed. 1. My brand-spanking new Design Blog is finished. I am so excited about it - I coded it myself (which explains why some of you who have MSIE6 and FF2.0 will have viewing issues - working on the bugs still). You can visit it if you like, or not. I still have some work to do on it and there are still a few pages that are either buggy or not complete, but honestly? I just wanted to get it out there so I could announce part two of my list. 2. My order pad is open for business. Yay! I already have a wait-list of five people, but I will accept new clients as well - please go to my new Design Blog for the ne...

Biggest Bloggy Giveaway Carnival Ever - get ya some!

Image
It's finally here - the latest edition of Bloggy Giveaways. For information on how the carnival works, check here -- in a nutshell, lots of bloggers are having giveaways on their blogs and all you have to do is comment for a chance to win. This is my very first-ever and I'm so excited, because I actually have one of these necklaces myself, so if you win, we can pretend to be bbff (bloggy best friends forever). This is a 14K gold cherub pendant worth $125! I purchased two of them about a year ago with the thought that I would eventually give one of them away, so I guess I was waiting for such an occasion as this. And just in time for Valentine's Day. You can keep it for yourself, or give it away -- you decide. Heck, I'm feeling generous -- I'll even throw in the silk and velvet bag it's pictured on. :) It's quite dainty, measuring about 16 inches total length. How to win: 1. To enter, just leave me a comment. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter, but you ...
