Twice in 1 week

Twice in 1 week - it'll probably snow.  Like I said, I'm going to try and be better at this.

I stitched some this week.  Finished Heart in Hand 'April'.  Ended up doing it on aida, which doesn't bother me.  Stitching should be fun.  Going to work on HOD May.  Have to finish April so maybe I can have it up for a couple of days in April.

Got the copies made for my fun girl project.  My plan is to work on that this afternoon.  Need to touch up the white.  I brought paper to put on bottom and I'm going to paint the lip green.  My plan is to glue the paper to the bottom and paint the green.

Today is day 3 of me trying to get back on track.  I haven't eaten any candy which is major since I have candy in the house from Easter.  And I haven't eaten in between meals or after dinner.  I have to get off carbs again - why are they so good.

Time

Where does the time go?  I swear I'm more busy now that I don't work.  I have gotten into some bad habits, watching to much TV.  I do stitch when I'm watching - so it's not a total loss.

Been to Disney twice and did a 10K each time.  Did much better in April than February.  I think it was too warm in February - I wasn't use to it.  I need to get back on track and watch what I eat.  I need to lose 20 LBS.  I've been bad in my eating and I'm sure when I have my blood work this Friday and my appointment next Tuesday, it'll show.  But I need to lose weight, I don't want to have to buy new clothes or did out the old ones.  I have a goal, going to Chicago July 12, then I have Scotty's wedding in September.  Plus Sarah and I are going to Disney in November for the holiday party.  I've wanted to go.  It'll be weird gong and not having to get up at 3 AM for a race.  LOL

Been doing lots of stitching and now I have to do some finishing.  I like the stitching part best but I can't afford to have my stuff finished all the time.  I need to do it.  I should take 1 day a week and work on finishing.  I have like 4 Rubbermaid tubs full of stuff to finish.

Long time

Have not posted in a long time.  You'd think since I stopped working I'd have more time.  But it seems you're more busy.

Not much is new -so I'll do this as a new blog.  

Trying to get back on track of healthy eating.  I'm up about 10 lbs and I really don't want to buy new clothes.  So I'm trying but it seems like I have no will power at all.  I'm still pretty good about not eating in between meals - just not doing so well at meal time.  I need to order eat more salads and not bread.  I love bread....LOL  and I love salty things - chips, pretzels, nuts...Maybe I should start posting everything I put in mouth....

Next, I'm training for a 10K which is on February 23.  Disney's Princess race.  Sarah and I are going.  It'll be nice to spend 5 days with my daughter.  Last weekend I did 5.5 miles in 1 hr 45 minutes.  I should be able to do the last 1/2 mile in 10 minutes so I might be able to beat my time from last year.

My goal for this year is to finish the stuff I finish stitching.  So far I've framed 2 pictures for Jojo and 1 for Charlotte.  Finished a Rovais keychain.  Finished stitching HOD year of celebrations January and February and HOD year in chalk February.  Will finish them today.  Also stitch something small for the girls for Valentines day.
