The Dreaded Word....DIET

OK blog family I'm going to put it out there!!! I'm getting ready to embark on a diet. Thankfully I have my spouse, and a couple of friends who are going to go down this road with me. I'm all about accountability!! I have done weight watchers and it works...because you have to weigh in front of someone. So, last week two of my friends and I we all weighed and measured each other! That was hard!! I don't know why but it was. I trust them with my life so I'm not worried about them telling people.
The book I read is called " The Belly Fat Cure" it is on eating the right carbs and sugars. Having an equation if you will to follow. You are allowed 15 grams of sugar and 6 grams of carbs. It is called your daily s/c value. I'm excited to start this and will be writing about it as I go. Which means I'm gonna have a whole lot of accountability...UGH!!! :)

These are the pictures for the post Ari's Imagination









posts

UGH!!! I have pictures I need to post but it won't let me so bear with me. Keeps saying error or something.

Ari's Imagination...

Ari cracks me up...her mind is always going. She has been the one that doesn't need entertained or has to have someone play with her. She spends a lot of time in her "own" world. Recently it had rained and I look outside and she is playing in the mud!! Mind you were about to have company. I go out and ask her what she is doing and she replies I making a beaver house. Several weeks ago she rode around with Charlie and he had to go work on some property that had a beaver dam and it needed some work. So, that is where her little venture came to be.

Home Ec. Rocks!!!

When I was in High School I took four years of home ec. I think in the very beginning I thought why in the world am I taking this. Now as an adult I'm so glad I did!! I have had so much fun sewing. Granted, I had to reteach myself some things but it is so worth it. I also love to cook!! My speciality is desserts...or so my family tells me. Not sure what possessed me to talk about this but, I was on the phone with my mom today and home ec was brought up. I hope my girl's take it and enjoy it as much as I did.
When I sew it makes me feel accomplished....granted there are times I want to throw my machine out the window. I have to walk away and stop for a bit then I can finish. There are times I can't sleep because I am going over in my head why I can't get the project to work out...I usually can figure it out which makes me feel good. I would like to say that it is a stress reliever but sometimes it is the source of my stress!! Oh well, it won't stop me from trying new things and keep making new things!!
Unfortunately I can't get any pictures to post! Maybe another day. Most of you have seen what I've made, I usually put it on facebook!!
