Tuesday Progress Notes

I made it to 18, the last 4 in a bowl of ice cream. The website says it is 5 points, but since I had 6 activity points I don’t really care. What makes me mad is I had this all typed out and the blog shut down on me. Now I have to retype it and it is difficult because I am trying to type with white gloves on! I have white gloves on because my fingers are all cracked so I put Neosporin on the tips. Anyway, when I climb the stairs in my building (work) I can make it to the 8th floor before I have to rest. I posted to that thread I mentioned in an earlier post in this blog and told them I was wearing my “skinny” jeans. Suzzy congratulated me. At All Sport I weighed 132.25. I couldn’t weigh myself at home because they were having the book study. Tomorrow is Nick’s concert.

This is a necklace I designed and made. There are some things I don’t like about it. If I ever make another I will fix the things I don’t like.

New WW program

Filed under: Crafts, Health
December 11, 2006

It is finally here, the new WW program. I now have only 18 points to eat a day. Today, I ate 16. HA HA HA. Well, I don’t feel as bad as if I had to eat 20. I reset my profile to show a goal of 110. I think that is reasonable. At my height I can go down to 107. Anyway, my new pedometer shows I walked 10,631 steps today. I earned 7 activity points and drank 64 ounces of water. I told M.S. my pedometer had died so she sent Fred down to give me her old one. He knocked on my door and said, “Bella, I have a speedometer for you! No its a step-om-eter.” He is so cute.

These are some earrings I made.

Progress Notes

I lost 2.4 pounds this week. I am down to 133.2 pounds. My first goal is 132 because that is the weight I was when I signed on to WW and when I put in my weight it has a plus for the total weight change. When I reach 132 and pass it, I will have a negative number.

For my NSV, I was able to wear my red down jacket without the snaps popping open. I can zip up my leather jacket without starting it at my waist and I wore my skinny jeans yesterday. OK, they were TIGHT and I did pop the zipper, but I wore them!

Just me

Filed under: Personal not private
December 7, 2006

I need to vent. I post to a message board and after I posted a post about not liking cucumbers and Laughing Cow cheese, no one posted after me. I wonder if I offended anyone when I made my comments, was it the way I said “Cucumbers taste bad” or perhaps it was the comment about the red cow with earrings. I thought all comments were welcome unless you were personally attacking someone. Maybe they don’t like people from Beacon! It is probably just my post menopausal syndrome making me moody and suspicious. Anyway, I am not going to post for a while to see if anyone misses me.

The hearts are part of a community quilt for my neice when she got married. The motifs are from a pattern in a magazine, but I made some changes to them, so that makes them my design.

Here are some things I have designed. The scarf is part hood and part scarf. I was tired of my scarf falling off my head so I designed this. It is being modeled by my friend B.T.

Have a Water Efficient Holiday!

Filed under: Environment

Preparing for and cleaning up after a holiday meal can use much more water than an everyday meal. Running your tap continuously while preparing food or washing dishes wastes water and can use more than 2 gallons of water every minute your tap is running. That’s a lot when you’re cooking a big meal for extended family members and friends! A few simple and easy steps can help save water and energy. If you own a dishwasher, scrape dirty dishes rather than pre-rinsing them before placing them in the dishwasher. If you don’t have a dishwasher, fill the sink with a few gallons of wash water, clean your dishes and put them aside. Then, rinse them all together at the end. Either of these simple practices could save 10 gallons. If every household reduced 10 gallons on Thanksgiving Day alone, it would save more than 1 billion gallons of water. That’s enough for 1 million households with dishwashers to wash their dishes for a year. For more information saving tips visit http://www.epa.gov/watersense/
