Getting Crafty

School is officially over (hot diggity damn!) and I've already found myself with an abundance of free time. In preparation for this, I went out last weekend and bought some yarn and some jewelry making supplies. It's time to get crafty with my bad self!

Weigh In

Time to state the obvious - it's Monday. That means it's another day for me to weigh in. While I didn't see the biggest loss on the scale today, I did see a loss!

Almost to Goal!

I've been watching what I eat and working out for a while now and it's starting to pay off. My goal was to lose 20 pounds by July 26 (next doctor appt) and I'm almost there! So far, I've lost 13.6 pounds and it's only June 2! That means I have 53 days to lose roughly 7 pounds. If I can't lose 7 pounds in almost 2 months, something's wrong with me.
