Checkin' In

Just a little check in.
I'm quite surprised at how busy I've been.
I keep thinking 'oh, tomorrow will be a light day' - and then it comes and it's filled plum full.
I've started working out in the morning with my neighbor again - and then the next thing you know it's supper time, and then bed time.
I haven't even had much swing time lately - but it's all SO incredibly good and wonderful.
I'm ENJOYING my busyness at the moment, and not feeling enslaved by it.
I'm still list-less, but not listless!

Started making the Bootcamp rug, like I did last year - all the Bootcampers sent me jeans that are too big for them - and I'm making the Coach a rug - I've forever thankful to my friend Jaimie for coming and helping me warp the beast of a loom!

It spurred me on to think about my own jeans - the ones that I'm saving for posterity to remind myself of how far I've come.


Size 26 y'all.
I'm in an 8 now - and will probably be in a 6 before all is said and done.
I'm just a few pounds away from my Fiona goal -
So much to tell you guys, and no time to tell it!
I'll be back when it rains!
Photo: Who knew you could have so much fun with a pair of britches. :-)

Aaron is doing fantastic.
He may have his GED as early as July.
The boy is focused.
Driven.
Determined.
I'm so proud of him!

Alrighty - I'll be back as soon as I can - but for now I've got to get in the beehives while the weather is perfect for it.

Thinking of you all - have a happy day!

    I am in need of losing a few. Not too many but I find now that I am mid 40s it is harder. Have been walking daily but boy do I enjoy the carbs. Your pic of you both in the pants is too funny and girl you look so hot!!

    Wow, that last pic says it all, Jayme! I'm so proud of you. I went through I don't know how many rounds of steroids when I first moved here. Put about 15 pounds on me I haven't lost yet.

    Lookin' good in that red sweater. I need to get back to my diet. Now that I'm taking medicine for a sluggish thyroid, maybe it will be easier.
