Wednesday Morning
I've been feeling a bit discouraged this week. So, I opened up and read some blogs this morning and I feel encouraged again. Number one, I find women out there with the same problems I face and Number two, I find new ideas to keep me motivated. Thank you!
I know now, I can do this! I would love to lose a significant amount (you know, the amount where people will come up and say, "Wow, you've lost some weight") by the time I go back to work mid-August. I think I can if I really work at it. But I know, too that it's not about losing weight by a certain date, it's about being happy (and thin) about my body for the rest of my life and that takes time.
On a personal note:
I have just a bit of laundry to do this morning. Then I will begin construction of new historical clothing. I've been putting this off everyday. I love to sew, but I hate getting started. I also have a new project I'm working on, if the weather is nice I'll do that as well today. I'm painting canvas, making an oilcloth floor covering for historical re-enacting purposes.
I take my daughter to the doctors this afternoon. One will be a post op visit with the foot dr. She's been doing really well, in fact yesterday was the first day where she didn't need any pain medication! Then right after her post op visit, we go to the orthopedic dr. to check on her broken arm.
Have a great day.
