It's Working

I haven't updated the weight status in a week...I think.  But it is all going good!  This past weekend I went down to San Marcos for my cousin, Kelsi's, baby shower.  I got a couple of compliments from people.  Not sure if it was the loss of weight of the fact that I was wearing pants that loosen a lot after a wear them for a few minutes.  Who knows.  But a compliment is a compliment and it did was it was supposed it: Made me feel better about myself.

It made me think that I am actually doing good!  I got on the scale this morning (no clothes) and it said 171.3.  Not sure how accurate that is.  I'm sure when I go home today it will say 174.  But if it doesn't, then that's good!  I pretty much weigh myself 1-2 times a day.  I know it's not good...but I feel good about it.

My next goal is 169: buy a new paid of jeans (15 pounds down)....and then 164 is new swim suit.  I'm going to do it!  The first of two beach trips in consecutive weekends starts in T-21 days.  (That's means loosing 0.5lbs a day. Not sure about that....but I'm going to get there!

Chrocheting!

So I have found a new hobby...one that I'm not going to take to extreme (as far as complication) but will have fun with!  I have decided that I like to crochet.  My Great Grandmother, whom we called Granny Piestch (pronounced peach), was a mad-scientist at crocheting.  That's just what she did.  When we would take trips to the store and we would loose her, there was only one place to find her: the yarn section. LOL.  It's true.  Very true!  So I decided a couple weeks ago that I was going to re-teach myself.  Granny P taught me when I was in my teens and of course I didn't remember.
So where do you go when you want to learn something with a "how to tutorial"?!  You Tube of course!  I found a great video and worked it out! 
I did one blanket for us, which is slowly a work in progess.  And I made a baby blanket for Kelsi, my cousin, who is having a boy in early July.  The baby blanket it cute, but very amatuer.  I should have got more help from You Tube on the pattern I used.  Oh well, lessons learned. 
But that's what I'm into right now.  And that's probably good for Evan.  Because I'm not doing other crazy stuff like making multiple diaper cakes, painting frames, making chalk boards, etc.  All of which I have done in the past month. 
I'm excited about blankets.  I LOVE BLANKETS!  That's all for now!
