Fat quilts for "fluffy" people
#461
Hello... well since I've dropped 10 lbs since January....ok the last 5 have been on and off multiple times...I keep starting each day afresh.. because I cannot redo yesterday or the past in anyway... all I can do is change my outlook for the future.
Rather than make a block for each pound I lose, I have 136 blocks already constructed for a quilt I started for my daughter when she was 15...she's now 30. For each pound I lose, I will sew another block in place. I only have 45 pounds to get to my goal weight so I may have to do rows or something. I would like to get this quilt completed and my other daughter's quilt (started at the same time) finished... I only have one block of it put together... so I could do that too :D or is that cheating???

for LaurieE "So far I've passed up 1 Coke urge."
Have you tried Coke Zero, I used to love Classic Coke, and now when I need my Coke I have Coke Zero-it tastes like Classic Coke.
Well I have my first yard of fabric for washed to start my Cathedral Windows. My home scale isn't the most accurate so I'm trying to figure out where I might have an option to weight in with an accurate scale once a week or so.
Lunch tip: I wanted to pack a healthy lunch so I wouldn't have to rely on the vending machine. And had limited choices here at home. I did have a can of condensed Tomato soup. I mixed it up put some in a container and added about 1 1/2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables. At lunch time I heated it up (with added time to ensure veggies were cooked) and was happy to have a healthy lunch. I do try to keep a few extra bags of a variety of frozen veg. in the freezer. They are an easy way to add to leftovers and bump up my veggie intake, especially if the leftovers aren't quite a serving.
I hope by this weekend I will have a few of my CW patches to post.
Drinking water first before indulging in something you might want to skip is a good tip, Thanks Lauriejo. btw I think of you every morning someone in our office has a full color print out of your avatar next to our coffee pot.:-)

Tomorrow is the day! I have decided to jump back on the weight loss bandwagon tomorrow. I finished my fertility meds today (just took the last pill!) so tomorrow I'm free to do as I like. I'm going to start the day with a walk around the block. DH said he'd go with me but let's see if he's willing to leave our warm bed. lol Either way, I feel good about getting back on track. I also REALLY want to make more blocks!! lol Thank you to everyone who has been there for me. Trying to get pregnant is a series of ups and downs. I hope these meds work.
