Oh, well.

I went and got weighed in on Saturday and I gained a pound. I wanted to scream because I was so good and watched everything and wrote it down. Why does this weight loss journey need to be so hard and long?

I realized that I have been watching what I have been eating for over a year now. I have lost 46 pounds (actually 45 - but I'm not counting that pound) in a year (not all through weight watchers). That averages out about 3.8 pounds a month, which isn't so bad. I could be over 200 pounds today if I didn't start watching what I ate. I am healthier and happier.

Yesterday afternoon, I played dress up in the attic. I started trying on some of my formal dresses from high school and weddings. All were to big!!!!! Yeah! I'm not at my smallest weight ever right now, but they were big. I love to dress up in formal dresses - I should be a queen in a far away country, so I can dress up like that often. Well I do have royal blood, since being prom queen (but I never got a tiara for that, just roses, I would have rather had a tiara! - I need to get over that). Maybe I should just dress up once a week and walk around Lancaster that way. Do you think anyone would mind? I could imagine that looks I would get.

Happy 4th of July

Well today hopefully won't be to much of a challenge for me. We are going to my brother and girlfriend's place. It will only be us and them. I have my food planned out today. I made a WW dessert. Chocolate Chip Pie (7 pts for a serving) so I want to do well so I can eat that. I hope it tastes good. I guess we will see.

I'm heading to the fabric store to buy some fabric, it is on sale. Hopefully they have a nice selection. I'm going to start making some of my pillow cases. I might make a lot and try to sell them at a craft fair in the fall. I have no clue if it will work out or not. If it doesn't I will have enough pillowcases for my future nieces and nephews (we have one on the way - Tim's brother and his wife are expecting, my first time being an aunt!) for gifts..

Loving this product!

Look at what I found. I love anything with Peanut Butter, but it is so high in points. They have been talking about PB2 at my weight watchers meeting. I placed some of this in my fat free cool whip and it was sooooooo good. I then placed it between two low-fat graham crackers and froze it. It tasted like a peanut butter pie. Yummy!

For Sale!

I started a tradition with my son last year and that was holiday and special occasion pillow cases.  He loves them and can't wait to see what pillow case is on his pillow when we change his sheets.  I'm in the process of selling some cases.  I'm taking orders for back to school pillow cases.  $10 a case.  If you want to order more maybe we can make a deal.  Email me and let me know if you have a specific color in mind and I'll see what I can do.  

Pages

I tried to post my pages last night, but for some reason I kept getting an error message. Hopefully today I can. Hope you enjoy all of the pictures, there are a lot and even more!

For Sale?

So, I have been thinking.  I know it is a dangerous thing for me to do.  But, I have been really thinking about selling my pillow cases.  What would you pay for a pillow case?  I usually spend between $3-5 dollars on material if it isn't on sale.  I was thinking $10-12, what do you think?  If I do start, I could probably hammer out a few 4th of July cases before the 4th!  I would truly begin with Back to School Cases. 

4th of July

Back to School

I'm here

I have soooooo many new pages that I made.  I don't know if I want to post all of them.  For the 1 person who reads this blog what do you think?

I also need to get working on a few pillow cases for my friend.  I hope I remember how.  I also want to work on Christmas stockings for the kids.  I should sell some of my cases, yeah since there is such a huge market for them!  HA
