Survived the first day, now on to the second

Well, I ended up buying a new scale because I had trouble reading our old one. I did lose some weight but can't tell exactly how much - but now I went digital so we'll see tomorrow it works. Today it read 192.4 - thus I know I did lose something but not positive how much. Everyone is telling me I'm going to be starving myself, but I remind them I won't eat this little forever and it's all healthy so no sugar and junk. It was very hard yesterday at about 3:30-5:30. I had to go shopping and of course all I could do was think of food. Last night Wayne and I proportioned a lot of the food so I could just pack a lunch and go. Keeping up with the drops. Hopefully today will be even easier - I have read and heard that you really aren't hungry after a few days, that has always been my problem so lets hope it works. I was so tired last night that after shopping and eating I did go to bed, still tired tonight but just need to remember "mind over matter". Figured with all the shopping I got my exercise yesterday so will try walking today with Elaine - she's always up for a good walk. Marcia is doing this diet with me at work - so we can motivate each other.

New day...new diet

Well, I've decided to use the blog as my personal watcher. I'm starting a new diet today - the HCG Protocol. Basically you take HCG drops and eat 500 calorie diet for 6 weeks. You are expected to lose about 1 pound a day. I am hoping this will jumpstart my life into getting in shape. I am going to modify it a bit as I will continue to take my vitamins and supplements - so we'll see if this screws things up for me. So my weight today was 193 - I'm going to weigh myself every morning and record it here. I'm hoping the shame of having the World being able to read this will keep me on the straight and narrow. I guess this could be a testament to the product or my lack of self control. Mornings will not be hard for me as I never used to eat breakfast...my problem time is after work till I go to bed...wish me luck.

Over the weekend Wayne and I went to see Couple's Retreat - with Matt, it was funny. Yesterday we went to friend's to watch the Patriot's game and were so disappointed that Patriots and Red Sox lost - it was ugly in my house last night.

I am still reading the 3rd Twilight book and got to the 1/2 way point last night. I'm hoping to finish this up before the new book comes for my church group book club - I can't read more than one book at a time as some can.

Have a great day all.
Kathy

Windy day

Well, have decided to bite the bullet and order some SU paper - I should just sell the stuff and get the discount but I can already hear Wayne's voice in the back of my head - "Kathy, seriously, another thing." Oh well.

I had to take one of our Residents to the Aqua Turf today - it was not fun having to drive the van in the wind. Couldn't wait to get back home. Getting anxious for a play date - so will try to find something interesting to attend.

Hope everyone had a great day - see you tomorrow.

Get Well Card

This was going to be a sympathy card but the paper was too cheery. This was my first swap on Splitcoast Stampers - will update you all on how it was received.

Today was the first day back to work after a few days off - was so tired I had to take a nap when I got home. Not funny - really.

Was able to figure out how to add the card. The other side of my spinner has a EEK cutout with a bat. I really had fun making this card.

I found a website on-line (thanks Diane) for card swapping and such. I joined my first swap and I'm just waiting to see if all the cards need to be the same or different - we need to make 6 of them and they need to include a heart. This should be fun - I'll keep you updated.

Brandi and I went out to lunch together, which is always a treat for me. I thought I would never be the mom who would miss her kids but I sure do. Matt came home for a couple hours last night and it was great.

New Day

Today I worked on finishing up my Halloween cards. I'm still so new at this so it takes me time to come up with a card that I really like and will make more than one of. I did figure one out. It has a spin window and is really cute - if I do say so myself. Of course my camera battery is dead now so after I charge it tomorrow I'll try and take a pic and see if I can post it here.

Besides that the Pats and Red Sox won. Tony Stewart won and I started to read Eclipse - what a great day.

Finished watching friend's dogs so now life is back to normal.

I have tomorrow off so I am going to try to come up with a cool card to use form pages of an old book - not sure what I want to do but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Tata for now.

I'm Back

I know I have been gone from the blogging world for so long - it's like starting over again - and I was not here to long the first time...but here's to the future.

I'm getting really into scrapbooking and now rubber stamping. As soon as I figure out how to use the scanner - the printer part of it works but we can't get the scanner working I will post pics and get this party started.
