Twisted Bargello/Loser Monday

As promised, here is the completed Twisted Bargello panel. I still have not added borders. I have been so busy lately. I really want to finish it, but it may have to wait for summer break.
We have spring break coming up in two weeks, and I am really ready for it.
I finally got back to Weight Watchers. Good news.... I lost 4.4 more pounds .... for a total loss of 16 pounds! Wow!!
I hope you have a good week.

Another Sisterhood Award/Loser Monday

I won another award from Peggy, of Musings of Meggie. It is actually another Sisterhood Award!! In fact, Peggy gave me her award first, but it came in that period of time when I was so out of touch with everything and super busy. I completely forgot that I had not posted about it! I am so glad to have met Peggy, she is one of the sweetest bloggers I know, and I feel that I have really gotten to know her. I do feel that she is a blogging sister to me. Thanks, Peggy!



I am not going to post the rules again, simply scroll down to my last post for those. Feel free to take this award for yourself if you are one of my blogging sisters!
Loser Monday, well, I have no idea really. The last two Mondays have been days when I simply could not attend the meetings of Weight Watchers. Tonight I had a school PAC (like PTA) meeting at the same time as the WW meeting. Last week I could have gone, but it was raining cats and dogs outside. No way was I getting out in that!! I just wanted to snuggle up and stay home. Now I have pretty much stuck to my diet, so I hope for a loss when I go back next week.
It has been a long day. We had a mandatory faculty meeting after school today, until 4:30, then had to come back to the school at 6:00 for the PAC meeting. The PAC meeting had several programs and wasn't over until about 7:30. I then had to do something about dinner. It is so good to just sit here and do a little blogging now.
I hope you are going to have a good week. I can say now that we only have 7 more Mondays until school is out for the summer!

Get Well Joy! Also, Loser Monday

As you know from my last post, Joy had a trampoline accident and injured her ankle. These are photos of her after we came home from the emergency room that day. Her ankle is all splinted up so that she cannot further injure it. It has greatly reduced the pain she feels since it has been immobilized. We go to see the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow. I had to cancel her school trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City. Luckily I had purchased the trip insurance and will receive a full refund. I will let you all know what the doctor says tomorrow. Wish us luck, and thank you all so much for the prayers.

It is Loser Monday. Since last Monday was a "snow day" here in the Deep South, the Weight Watcher's meeting was closed. I don't know how I did then, but at this week's meeting I had lost an additional 2.2 pounds, for a total of 11 point something pounds lost since starting.

Loser Monday

I lost 1.6 pounds this week! Yeah me!!

Loser Monday

Yes, I lost 2.8 more pounds. This makes a total two week loss of 7.6 I think. Now, on to week three.
I am behind on some posts that I need to do, like a thank you post to Cathy for a gift that arrived from Australia. I took photos, but I am lazy about downloading them to my computer to blog about them. Cathy, I love the stuff, so do the kids, I am going to post soon!!!
My son is in Jekyll Island, Georgia, on a gifted field trip. He will be gone for 3 days. I know he is having fun. He loves animals and nature and this is right up his alley.

Loser Monday

I am such a loser. Tonight at weigh-in (Weight Watchers) I found out I had lost 4.8 pounds. Yay me!! Being a loser can be a good thing.

Loser Monday

Well, I did it tonight. My sister and I went to Weight Watchers!! It was very motivating, and the plan is very easy to follow. I have done it before, but always ended up dropping out. I don't plan to drop out this time. I even splurged and bought the Basic Membership Kit!

Loser Monday - on Tuesday

Well, I forgot all about posting yesterday so here is my Loser Monday update. I missed yet another Weight Watchers meeting due to my sister-in-law's brother dying from cancer. We were at the funeral home. It was really sad, he was only 47. He had brain cancer.
Anyway, I haven't weighed, but I have been good. I received my Jack LaLanne Power Juicer and have been drinking lots of fresh juice. It is soooo good. I still plan to go to WW next Monday - I hope!!

Loser Monday - Update!

I am finally starting up! Sharon at Red Geranium Cottage should be so proud of me - and I hope not mad at me for not starting two weeks ago. I am even biting the bullet and putting on a horrible BEFORE photo of me!!! It is about a year old, but I still look just as awful. :-D I have so many excuses for not starting Weight Watchers until today, but they are good excuses!! Last week we had a PTO meeting at school at the exact same time - and I am required to attend those. The week before the line was so long that I just left. It snaked across the room and halfway down the hallway of the community center, plus most folks in line were signing up as new members which takes forever. I am actually excited about getting started finally.
Now, Sharon, don't even THINK about whether I am going to post my weight. No, no, no!! Let's just say it is horrifying! Shocking! I am one of those old, fat people that I used to make fun of. Oh, sweet Karma!! I may find one of those gadgets to put on my sidebar that shows progress toward a goal. That might be motivating. Well, in half an hour I am off to my meeting.
UPDATE!!
To continue a trend, when I arrived at the Community Center it was closed due to Martin Luther King, Jr., Day - with no sign or anything saying what had happened to the WW meeting. Oh well, I went to the grocery store and am starting anyway. And I ordered a power juicer!!!
