I'd like to join you. How on Earth do I decide on a quilt block? I'm thinking of maybe a throw for the back of the couch - possibly purple, rose and pink, but I will hard time deciding on a pattern. Your avatars make me want to do so many, but I don't want a sampler. I'm backed up with aprons for a bazaar right now, but next week, I'll make my decision. I need to take into consideration my lack of skill as a quilter.

This is exciting.

I haven't done any exercise so I have cut back on the amount of food I eat and so far so good, no weight gain. YAY!!! I am hoping to get back into the exercise routine soon. Infact I lost 5 pounds last month. I probably already posted that but I can't remember. LOL.

Quilting Nana you are such a wonderful positive person and I love the way you motivate each of us. I feel like I have my own Nana here helping me out.

Thank you for the kind words.
Tomorrow is our weigh in day.
I have not been able to exercise this week also. I have had a cold and a cough. I guess we will see tomorrw.
I am sorry you had to deal with your in-laws. But they are gone now. Back t normal.

Nana I don't want to step on the scale. I had Enchiladas with spanish rice and refried beans. The Enchiladas had ground beef, cheese, bell peppers, yellow onoins, black olives and chopped lettuce, oh can't forget the corn tortilla's. I topped it with sour creme and green chili salsa. I also had Mazzetta's pickled carrots and cauliflower. I can't resist Mexican food. I have to make my own because I am a spoiled ex-Californian when it comes to Mexican restaurants and their delicious food. Here in Ky. the Mexican food is just ok.
After reading all that I sound like a pig but I had my one plate and that was it.

Yummy!! Sounds great. I'll bet you ate less than what you usually eat.
Now back on schedule.

I will report tomorrow.

Today is my weigh in day. I thought I would not lose any weight because I was sick with a cold and bad cough so I could not do any exercise.
I usually walk 2 miles a day 3 days a week at a fast pace.
This week all I could do is cough up a lung.
But I guess that is exercise because I lost 2.2 pounds.
That brings me up to a grand total of 15.2 pounds. I am working on my quilt but I am not making squares. I am making a quilt background and adding leaves for each pound. Almost finished with the background.
Thanks for listening to me. It helps to have a team of freinds to help you along the way.

Nana I am not weighing in today. DH and little man have the stomach virus so I won't be going to my folks house where the scale is. My folks don't need to be exposed to this crud, My Dad is a long haul truck driver.
