After today I am officially half-way done with the induction diet. I am planning to look up what the requirements include for the OWL. That’s the ongoing weightloss phase. I sort of assumed that I stay on that plan until I’ve lost what I want to lose…

Feeling thinner. I was down another pound this morning and other than the pain in my back I feel great. I have been experimenting with recipes and some have turned out good, others…not so much. I tried making cream puffs with soy flour and they work…

Had to put up a picture of my completed quilt block. Not too bad for a first. I have some adjustments to make in order to actually make a quilt but I learned a lot with this and hopefully can make some more to go with it.

Just ate Cream Cheese Pancakes for breakfast with a couple sausage links on the side. The pancakes were good except for the artificial sweetener. I did get some Stevia and I tried it in some coffee. Not very good. It has the same bitter taste as Nutr…

Kris and I are start…

Last night we had our sewing party. It was very nice. There were 6 of us plus kids. I think everyone got a little something done and it was so great to see the new babies and catch up with everyone again.

I spent a lot of the evening talking to t…

The girls are getting together tonight. I’m so excited. It seems that it has been ages since we’ve had a sewing party and I miss our fellowship. Kris will be taking Owen out, so my time and attention can be focused on the fun at hand and I don’t have…
