Weigh-in Dec 11

Wow. I weigh-in at 71.7 kilos (157.7 lbs), that is a 1.3 kilo loss (2.8 lbs). Unbelievable. I know I worked hard this week with exercise, but this has to be part of last week's loss because I know I had to have a lot of water-weight last Saturday.

I've had a busy day today. I finished making the 2 necklaces for my friends. I think I will take some photos of them later and load them for everyone to see. I'm quite proud of the work I did since I just learned the technique required for this type of necklace yesterday.

I also made a roll of homemade wrapping paper with sponges and paint. This was not as easy as I thought it would be and my cat made a mess. I had to throw him in the bath and wash blue paint off of his beautiful white fur. He was pretty good and only tried to escape once. He mostly just stood in the water for me.

Tonight I am endeavoring to make these pretzel treats I found from taylor, but I have to alter it a bit since we don't have hershey's kisses in Australia unless you go to specialty shops and I don't have the time to hunt them down. I will probably use nestle melts in white and dark chocolate and miniature pretzels. I will be giving them to mr. ralph's co-workers tomorrow at their Christmas BBQ, and if they come out ok I'll make them again in about a weeks time to give out at my work.

Being crafty is a lot of work, and I still need to make the coffee mixes, and bath salts. Going back to work this week is going to totally kick me in the bum. I should have started all these projects last week. Oh well, it is work but it is also rewarding in the end to see someone happy to get something you made them.

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
