Thread: March 2013 Weight Loss Adventure with a Prize!!

One of the things I'm working ,on from last year. A QAYG in sections front and back....first time I've tried something this large in QAYG.

Pam I also am so sorry to hear about the losses in your precious family. My husband use to work one on one with a boy in the school system with Batten's Disease. My prayers are with your family. Me and my husband got back home early this morning from both of us having a sleep apnea study done. This is a second for both of us.

Help --- I have fallen off the wagon and can't get back on. Don't know why, when I was doing good.
My DH took me shopping to 2 quilt stores on Sat for International Quilt day. Did not go overboard. We did stop to eat on way home and the serving of french fries was huge (I am not a FF lover) and I ate them ALL! What happened to will power?

I feel so silly complaining about my lack of will power when I read about Pam's nephew. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Go for my third, and final, spine injection today -- hope it lasts. Maybe then I can exercising and walking.

Eleven of us will have our quilts shown at the quilt fest in Ireland this summer. My block is the center one. One of the gals at the retreat is going to quilt it for me. I can't wait to see what she does with it.

It's a slow process, but it's better than continuing in the other direction. Next week is when I get measured again. Hopefully there will be some changes from the last time. Hang in there everyone. We can do this.

What are you doing to drop so much?

It really has been quiet here lately. What are you working on? I have the the fabric pulled for the 5th mystery, clue printed and starting this afternoon. I am also doing a patrotic swap have 1 set done, 2 in process and 2 cut ready to go, and one more to figure out what block I will make.

Also need to cut for a 2.5 inch block swap along with a twist for 2.5 inch batiks.

okay, this caught my attention! I can't wait to see what you do! I just made 2 totes using scraps of batiks from the king size quilt I made for our bed. I really like the small bits of batik together. The bed quilt is 6" triangles & I used 2 layer cakes that I picked up at a Quilter's garage sale. there was no way I was tossing what was left from the layer cake sqs. Love the quilt but the smaller triangles of one tote & 2 1/5 squares of the other one are quite pleasing as well. Make sure you show us, please

I have not been doing good at all either. I have got to jump high back on the wagon. lol...

I was doing really well this month. I had to make a last minute unplanned trip to visit my DD, SIL and GS this weekend. I left the house in a hurry and didn't take stuff with me. I should know better they never have any food in their house. I don't know how she can stand it. I ended up eating oatmeal all weekend. Not too bad for me. We had Chipotle twice. I haven't looked up the WW points on that yet. Also we went out to dinner Friday and Saturday night. I did walk 4 miles on Friday and about 2 on Saturday. I missed my weigh in on Saturday and will miss again this coming weekend because I have my quilt retreat. I will try to weigh in Wed or Thurs. I will exercise extra this week.
I am doing the Mystery train ride again this month. I have my fabric picked but haven't started it yet. I am collecting UFO's to take to my retreat. Hopefully I can get some of them finished.

Pat, what's the Mystery Train ride? Sounds interesting. I have named my sewing room & craft room My Retreat since they are both upstairs & only M-I-N-E I have never been to a real retreat but that sounds fun. Good for you on your walking!
