TA-DA!
I've decided on a couple projects I would like to take on but my first one is going to be a jelly roll quilt. I'm very excited to do this and I really hope I take to it fast because I want to get started on a LOT of projects! :)
I've done a couple crochet hats, they are pretty easy, just time consuming (but can be knocked out in less than a day). My husband was kind enough to model one of my hats although he may kill me if he knows I posted the photo on the web! =)
Besides from being my crafty self, Ive been working my butt off trying to be a new, healthier version of myself. So far I'm pretty proud of myself. Last week I lost 4 lbs and 1/4 inch off my stomach - not too shabby if I do say so myself! I watch what I eat; I don't always count calories but I'm very aware of what I eat now. I've eating LOTS of fruits and vegetables! Yumm! My boss recommended an oatmeal that she really likes and I have to say, it's DELISH! I put just a bit of honey in it as well as blueberries for breakfast and it carries me to lunch time without really snacking in between. I makes sure to exercise at least 5x a week for 30 minutes as well as doing a plank AND squat challenge! I hate planking but I don't mind the squats. I'm currently on a rest day for those but tomorrow it's back at it to the tune of 220! Eek! I'm at 2/5 minutes on my planks and those are pure hell! But I'm seeing results - slowly! And that's okay! I'd rather do it the right way and make this my permanent lifestyle rather than just a temporary fix. I didn't get overweight in a day or in a week so I can't expect to lose in that amount of time! (Although it would be nice if I did!) I don't really have any healthy recipes to share as of now but I will post later in the week (promise!) and share some new recipes that I learned!
