What a wonderful accomplishment in being able to use the stairs! I'm glad to hear that you are going to monitor your food intake for a while. It's so easy to see how much you can eat instead of how little. A friend gave me a package of hot spiced cider at the church yesterday. I brought it home because I was a mission and stopping quilting for a drink wasn't in my schedule. Last evening I looked at it - 60 calories and no redeeming food value. I don't think so. Flavored tea has 0 calories and is just as satisfying. Decisions, decisions. You are making good ones.

I'm on another mission to get this prayer quilt off the wall so I can start the quilt that's making me apprehensive. The prayer quilt is going to be a little weird shaped. They only want 45 by 54 so they are portable. I have to go 4 by 5 squares (too squatty) or 4 by 6 (too long proportionally). I chose 4 by 6. No one wants cold feet and I don't want four leftover blocks. I may make the borders a little narrower on the top and bottom than on the sides. Whatever it takes.

Have a good day. I'll check in when I get tired of housework or need a break from sewing.

Decisions, decisions. For the next 24 hours, let's all make healthy eating and exercise ones. Thank you, Missy, for the inspiration to do that. One day at a time!!!

I am getting healthier and gaining control of my weight.
