Making Skinny: February 2010
http://makingskinny.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. I reached my first mini-goal today! The scale read 179lbs this morning! It's the first time I've seen the 170's on the scale since I was in University when I was 18 years old. It also officially takes me out of the Morbidly Obese BMI category. Who ever thought I'd be excited to be just plain old obese? I also went out last night and bought those Old Navy jeans that are on sale, in size 16. They don't fit just yet - I could barely button them (but they did button! I can't deci...

Making Skinny: January 2010
http://makingskinny.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. I know that the loss would slow down considerably after the first week or two, but I was still expecting something. Even a 1/2 pound would be enough to keep me feeling motivated. Now I just feel deflated and want a bowl of ice cream LOL. I guess this is where writing everything down will come in handy. I'm going to have to look at my calorie intake and figure out if I'm eating too much, or not enough, or what. I need to see that scale move next week! Tuesday, January 26, 2010.

Making Skinny: March 2011
http://makingskinny.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. I'm feeling really optimistic today. I'm not sure why, since this past week has been pretty pitiful as far as wight loss goes. Corban has been sick and running a fever off and on over the last 4 days, which means I haven't done much of anything besides taking care of him. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Dog Named Banjo » Protoquilting
http://www.dognamedbanjo.com/2012/02/01/protoquilting
I recently turned a bunch of random scraps into a protoquilt. The one above is a new bookshelf runner for my craft room. This particular protoquilt was quite inspired by this lovely baby quilt. I found myself enchanted by pebble quilting and thought I should give it a try. I love the way it turned out! Instead of holding it on my lap, it’ll be serving to keep the grit and water off of my bookshelf from these here plants. New year’s resolution: Learn how to take great care of a jade plant! I think a previ...

Making Skinny: April 2011
http://makingskinny.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Good News and Bad News. I seem to have trouble finding (making? The bad news is that Jeff is leaving next week to go back out west for work. Besides missing him like crazy, and taking on all the responsibility with the household and kids, it means that my gym time will be seriously restricted due to child care constraints. My mother-in-law will watch them a couple times a week, which will help, though. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. 4) Healthy BMI: 127 lbs.

Making Skinny: August 2011
http://makingskinny.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 27, 2011. Clothes started being a little tighter. My old jeans were worn out and I had to break down and buy another pair of size 18's. Meanwhile the size 16's I was thisclose to fitting into are still sitting in the drawer. All of this, and I still was feeling lazy and unmotivated and depressed about my weight. I pointedly avoided the scale. Which I've found to be a great motivation in the past. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet, where I ta...

Making Skinny: May 2012
http://makingskinny.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Why is it so hard to stay motivated, and so, so easy to make excuses? And so on, and so forth. I should have been using this blog as a place to vent about those things and to try and motivate myself to keep going even in the face of difficulties. Instead I avoided it. Maybe this time, I can change that. Maybe I need a goal to work towards? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Making Skinny: July 2009

Wednesday, July 8, 2009. I was sitting on the couch yesterday with the baby sleeping on me, surfing the internet when Oprah. Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Putting yourself back on your list. You know, as the weeks go by I'm starting to realize that this journey isn't just about weight loss. It's about finding myself, and learning to love what I find. While watching Oprah today (which I'm going to talk about more in tomorrow's post. Monday, July 6, 2009. Saturday, July 4, 2009. This past week has been crazy, man...

Making Skinny: June 2009
http://makingskinny.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2009. I want to share something that is very special to me. It's a beautiful piece of writing by a beautiful woman, Maya Angelou. Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size. But when I start to tell them,. They think I'm telling lies. It's in the reach of my arms. The span of my hips,. The stride of my step,. The curl of my lips. I walk into a room. Just as cool as you please,. And to a man,. The fellows stand or. A hive of honey bees.
