Weekly Weigh-In

I am so sorry, Grainiacs (P.S. thank you, #1 Grainiac, for the name suggestion.  It rocks!); I have been remiss in my weekly reports to you to let you know how it has been going!

As of August 31^st, I have lost 7.5 lbs.  Whoo hoo!  Slow and steady.  In my former life, I would have been bummed out that after 3 weeks I hadn't lost all the 20 years of weight gain.  My thought process was borderline ridiculous but hey, that's me!!!  The new strawberry is not going to be bummed about it (okay, secretly I wish I'd lost 25 pounds because then I'd be that much closer to goal weight, BUT I will not go there...excuse me, I'm going to go color now.  I need a time-out!).  LOL

Speaking of coloring, let me just say I am LOVIN’ my new coloring world.  Every night I eat dinner and then bring out my creative supplies and something child-like happens....I am in a happy place.  I really love it.  My family is getting used to this new me, too.  They are no longer laughing at me; now they just smile and nod.  I know they are secretly jealous!  I have been showcasing my beautiful artwork too.  At this rate, I’ll need a bigger refrigerator.

  

Speaking of refrigerators (do you like how I do that?  Look at the creativity that flows when you start coloring!), I am still menu-challenged.  I do not know why I cannot sit down and plan out a week or even a days worth of meals.  Maybe I’ll have to undergo hypnosis or something because I have some sort of aversion to it.  Any thoughts?  I just had one!  Anyone who has watched Drop Dead Diva knows the look I just made when something brilliant comes to her mind.  If you've never seen DDD, you don't know what you are missing; check out Lifetime's website to see past episodes.  It's a hoot.  Getting back to my brilliant idea (you probably already thought of it)  I could color code my menus.  I wonder if I plan out a menu with colored pencils would help.  I'll try it tonight. Ta Da!!!

Check out the chick on the right!

Hubby drew the chicken.  I still need a ruler and compass to draw figures and a stick chicken wouldn't look appetizing-- even to me!

Drop me a line and tell me how you are doing.  Have any coloring pages to share?  Hmmm?
