Hi Again, last time tonight, I promise!
I am the proud owner of a small cross stitch called "Angel of Light"
. It is a brunette angel wearing plum and a warm pink robe, and carrying a candle. It will look great on my bedroom wall, once I finish it. I think it's about 5x7, and will definitely keep me busy for awhile.
I went out with my WW buddy, and we agreed that it just isn't working for us right now. We're going to try keeping each other accountable, and if that doesn't work we'll rejoin again in the fall. Right now, my head is not in the right place to be receptive to the program. But, I do feel energized about trying a few steps at a time. I really think I can build a good program if I take babysteps.
Is anyone else out there a Flybaby? It's a system for decluttering and cleaning. I was at the end of my rope and felt like I couldn't manage our home, and I found the FlyLady. After doing her system for 1.5 years, any room in my house is ready for company in less than 15 minutes. But, I couldn't get it all at once. I had to take babysteps. I'm still learning and adding to/refining my routines. Anyway, the point is I think I can finally lose weight and keep it off if I try to add good habits gradually. The consensus so far seems to agree, so that's what I'm going to try.
Jen -- Thanks for all the encouragement! I used to love marching band. I played the piccolo for 3 years, plus 8 years of flute.
Stephanie -- a hearty welcome! You are going to love it here. Everyone is very supportive, and there are days when I think I'd be lost without them, like today. Just putting your goals in writing really helps, as well as having a group of people who are striving to be healthier.
Debra -- I am so envious you have multiple drive-ins to choose from! I don't know the last time I saw one. I saw Bewitched, and I was very disappointed. Honestly, for me the best parts were the clips from the original show. I don't think your kids are missing anything.
Linda -- I hope you enjoy Bewitched more than I did! Just not my cup of tea. I'm happy to report that I am feeling much more enthused. I dug out all the recent health magazines I haven't even opened yet, and I'm going to look for ideas. I collect subscriptions like junk mail, I just rarely actually read the magazines, go figure.
Anyway, as Scarlett O'Hara would say, "Tomorrow is another day." I am looking forward to eating well, exercising, and acting like a 150 person! Another little epiphany, if I want to reach 150, I have to do a 180...I'm just going to do it slow enough that I don't get whiplash!
Have a great night, anybody who's left out there!
Let us know which counted cross stitch you pick. I also do counted cross stitch. Right now I am on a knitting kick.

That is why we don't go that often. So this is a treat for us. DH usually gets a pop corn and I take some of his........don't like movie popcorn enough to get my own. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
There are some very cute funny moments!! (then there were some bad lame moments - the whole Uncle Arthur character was one of the worse actings I have seen in a long time.)
It WILL happen! 
. But now that I"m doing aeorboics, hopefully I won't get stuck there. We leave in 28 more days I would love to be down 5 more lbs by then. We'll see...just have to keep focused! DD's birthday party today..so today will be my cheat day 
My family begins to avert their eyes and avoid me.......I am one of those crazy 
that have to vacuum right before we leave - anyone else?
