    Well, I weighed in yesterday, forgot to post. up .8 pounds but it's that time of the month for me.. so yea.. that's not bad at all.

    My grand total weight loss so far since March 17, 2010: 41.2 pounds. :) And we went on vacation for 3 weeks during that time. I am so proud of myself, I'm fitting into clothes I haven't fit into since before I was pregnant! Everyone at work that I never see has thought I was a new employee.

    I've got at least another 40 to go, and then we'll see. Every 5 pounds I lose I get myself a little something, like a pair of earrings or a charm pack.

    Soon the only fat quarters in my house will be in my stash and not on me.

    Carol I wore nursing bra's for 2 years after I stopped nursing little man. They are the most comfortable bra I have ever come across. So soft and fit just right. Wish I could find them again.

    I'm leaving for vacation on Monday and I will try to eat healthy and stay off the sweets but I'm really sad that it took me all year to drop 10 lbs and I have gained almost all of it back in 3 weeks :( ... I hope that I can lose the weight again, and the sweet cravings ;*

    What's more frustrating is when you find the perfect bra and all retail stores stop carrying it. The last time I looked, I could still get it online.

    Well I just got home and am a bit disappointed. The quilt went for 200 dollars. :(

    My mom doesnt want me to do any more for them but we will see.

    Mom took a picture of me at the event. Hopefully that will be uploaded tomorrow so I can share it with you.

    I just took my meds and so after mom and my stepdad are done talking about the event, I will go to bed.

    That is disappointing Missy, it was worth sooo much more. I know around here people are still struggling, a lot of them are still out of work. Many of the local charities are having trouble getting the support they used to get.

    The quilt was beautiful, the economy isn't. But, if you look at it this way, your organization made money, your legacy lives on in the quilt, and the new owner will have a beautiful heirloom to pass on. All positives!

    Creating the quilt is much like an author, you have been immortalized.

    On a sore bote, here one of of our largest charity stores went out of business, they just weren't getting the donations they needed to keep going. Last year we made big (for us) donations to charity, but due to the economy, reduction in pay, loss of pay, we won't be making any.
