A little bit more
Hi all!
Hoodie is still coming along. I have about 3 more inches on the sleeve and it will be complete!
On the diet front after a week, I can report that I have lost a total of 6 pounds!!! I am now below the weight I was when I first came over to the UK. My clothes are starting to fit so much better. There is no fat clothes in the wardrobe so something had to change and thankfully this diet has awakened this old metabolism of mine.
Words do not describe how excited I am! Photos to follow!
Love to you all!

A little bit at a time!
The hoodie is coming along great. On the second sleeve now and the ties to go and after stitching up the hood, it is finished. ( I am typing this post at the office so I can't post a new photo, sorry!) A photo update will come this evening.
One more thing that is going a little bit at a time is this diet! But I am so pleased. I have lost 4.5 lbs so far! The best thing is that my clothes are beginning to feel better as I wear them. No longer do I have the accordian closet where I can browse the sizes of now and the past. I have size 8s and 10s only so diet I will so I can enjoy my summer clothes and feel confident in my swimsuit too.
Haven't really made any cards since our return from the states as my papercutter needed some refurbishment. Woodware isn't kidding about how many cuts you can get from the plastic strip below the cutter. I had to stop making cards as I was no longer getting any clean cuts. Well the wait is over as my new strips arrived in yesterday's mail. (Happy dance inserted here!) So stay tuned for new creations on their way.
Have a crafty afternoon!

So it begins...
A friend of mine said that diets start in February so you can get rid of all the Christmas candy. Well, whatever the reason...it's February and I am starting now to lose the weight. Not much compared to others but enough to be back to my goal weight prior to Erin & Paul's wedding.
156 on the scale this morning and I am following the 17 Day Diet by Dr. Mike Moreno. It was recommended by another friend and when I saw the results she got, I was definitely intrigued. My goal is 139 by my 55th birthday, June 13th. I did it for my 50th so I should be able to do it again. And this time I am keeping it off! Summer clothes and bathing suit, here I come!
Now don't fear that I am going to crash diet or anything. This diet is designed to trick a slow or sleeping metabolism. And mine is definitely sleeping most of the time. So I will report in with my weight loss from time to time so I can track my progress.
On the knitting front, I have been working right along on the Baby Hoodie and am about to finish off the bottom of the back and fronts that have been worked in one piece.
Off to finish the bottom garter stitch and then it's on to picking up the sleeve stitches. This will be finished in plenty of time for the next trip to Serbia. It is a baby gift for Vesna & Neshna newest addition. Happy Sunday everyone!
