Twelve backgrounds for my 2014 CQJP (Crazy Quilt Journal Project) finished today. YAY!!!!
Now I can begin the year long process of embroidering each one in the evenings while I watch
Downton Abbey....
In other news, I managed to mantain 25 of the 26 pounds I lost over Christmas--I did "EAT"
normally--mashed potatoes, candy, crackers etc.
This morning I am back "on the diet wagon".
This is my notebook--I write every morsel down that I consume--- and my scale and various tools I need as I continue down this weight loss road:
I am set up on my kitchen counter near the stove...
Here is my breakfast today--a 2-egg omelet, fried in real butter with 1 tbs real cream cheese filling--
It was SOOOO yummy:
I have become quite the omelet chef-ette these days...lol--When 'Kota was here she
"Shared" my omelet with me--you know she has to be pretty special for me to part with
any bits of this one!! Hah!
Lunches and Dinners have a salad with some kind of protein and snacks contain veggies and
protein (like full fat yogurt or ricotta or 1/2 avocado with cheese etc.).
Since this diet plan contains a lot of the food I like anyway--it's just portioning it out and adding up...a daily total of not more than 25 - 30 carbs/day...Easy Peasy
I will post about my return to Project Life Scrapbooking later on....I have set up about 1/4 of my sewing room dedicated to scrapping and am still on the lookout for a nice "under-the-counter" shelf unit to store my most frequently used tools, embellishments and photos etc.
I have to say that we all had a fabulous Christmas (we celebrated on the 26th) and so enjoyed
having everyone here....pix to come.
Hugs to all of you--enjoy this "quiet week" --the hiatus time before New Year's
Are any of you resolution makers? I used to be....but not so much anymore...
