Welcome, Eliz!
Bandit -- good to hear from you! It sounds like you are already getting on track!
Judy -- you quilt too? Awesome! I'm proud of you rejoining now, instead of waiting. It shows that you have the determination to do what it takes. And you're right. It's better than gaining, some of it could be muscle, and my clothes do fit better.
Chrily -- you are a quilter too -- that's great!
Hey, down is down, and better than gaining. That's beautiful, Chrily!
Princess -- work is nuts. Nuts, nuts, nuts. I just need to clone myself 3x, and then I'll have enough resources to get it all done. Life is pretty good.
On my end, ladies -- I had a great weekend, went out to dinner with a new friend, saved a bunch of points for dinner -- Saturday, my super high day on the Wendy plan, I went to a Roller Derby game (SO MUCH FUN!
), and I saved some points and had nachos and a Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade. The nachos didn't taste as good as they used to, but at least they were part of my points for the day. On the plus side, the alcohol upset my stomach (or maybe the nachos did?) and talked me out of my sweet tooth on the way home. (I have acide reflux, so certain foods sometimes caused instant upset.)
My body has been screaming for sugar and fat these last two days, and the stress is not helping. But I'm holding (by my fingernails, yes, but holding on.) Friday afternoon, I leave for Phoenix, and I'll be gone until Wednesday afternoon, so you guys won't hear from me after tomorrow, probably (Thursday -- grocery day, Friday -- leaving before I can post.)
Here are the quilt pictures, and pictures of me, before I started to lose weight, and now....
(The quilt looks rippled because of the way it's laid out, not because it is actually rippled)
