This is 59

Had a good birthday weekend.  Reserved a room at a nearby casino/hotel with an indoor adult only pool area.   Pool area is much smaller than I remember, they added a stage and stuff for nighttime entertainment, but that really took away from the daytime pool atmosphere.   I was able to relax and unwind, Leenah came to take me home (a day early, I missed my bed).    She took me to dinner first, I had stuffed lobster, it was amazing, I actually didn't eat it until yesterday, but even reheated it was so good.  

Supposed to take a drive up to see my son this upcoming weekend, so my schedule will be screwy again.   I think this shot will be week 14 - tomorrow the 19th I'll do a full dose and I should be on regular schedule again.    Where I get my shot - Mochi - one of their compounding pharmacies has voluntarily ceased operations temporarily.   Mochi seems to be able to take it in stride and keep going, so hopefully there will be no disruptions.   I still have 2 full bottles and a half a bottle, so I'm good for a couple months either way.   

Weight is still dropping, dropped 4.4 pounds in 11 days, and that was over my birthday.   Sweeeet !!  Tons more walking over the weekend probably helped. 
  Funny though, cake used to be my very favorite thing, especially Sam's club cake (no judging)   But this year, I just didn't want any.   Leenah bought me a couple of Carlo bakery slices - I felt bad, but didn't touch them - I didn't want them.  Still no real side effects to speak of.   I know the day after I take my shot it is really hard to get enough food in.   I concentrate hard on protein first all the time now.   I still add my protein to my morning coffee - and like this morning, while I did kind of want pancakes or French toast, knowing that if I eat either of those, I won't hit anywhere close to protein for the day - I stuck to steak and eggs.   Even that I only was able to eat half the steak and one of the two eggs.   It's nice to be able to walk away from a plate, not because I'm counting calories, but because I'm just not hungry and the meds seem to allow me to realize that easier.   


91 days and 25.8 pounds down.  That's a 1/4 pound every single day.   After staying nearly stagnant for nearly a year hovering in the 270s - this is amazing to me.   I'm not stupid though, I know my entire lifestyle much continue with eating correctly and the gym to keep the weigh off - but just seeing the scale go down, and feeling those hipbones again, feels great.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
