Thrilled!

How I did it: I've done this five times over, but the first one I had preplanned. I wanted a Japanese character that reminded me of a friend who had helped me with my life tremendously, so my first stop (this was before we had internet) was to the bookstore to look up the character and make sure I had it right. After that, I went to the tattoo parlor and waited my turn. Ten or fifteen minutes later it was done, and I've never looked back. The photo att… Read how I did it…

How to keep my blog updated
It took me
5 months
It made me
Contemplate easier.

How I did it: I started blogging back in 2002 when I got into reading other people's blogs. Somewhere along the line it seemed like a good idea to start my own. AT first my posts were sporadic, and aimed mainly at my friends who would read, but later on I started using as a diary of sorts, not caring about my readers so much as using it to get things off my chest. I started out without a blogging client, editing HTML directly, then moved to Blogger whe… Read how I did it…

How to learn to sew my own clothes!
It took me
6 months
It made me
feel great!

How I did it: I had a few pointers from my Mom, who sewed all my clothes when I was a kid. I also took a very basic sewing class at our college, and took on several projects on my own. I am now confident that I can work out any problems I may encounter, given time and patience. The outcome is worth how you feel at completing an item alone, but the compliments you get over a unique piece of clothing make it even better! Read how I did it…

I'm now down 23 pounds 2 months ago

Another month has rolled by and I’m now down a total of 23 pounds. I’m a little disappointed in my self this last week because I went way over my Points limits what with the night out drinking, the fast food meal, and the fat-loaded breakfast on Sunday morning. I not only used up all my “extra” points, but a full day’s worth on top of that. There was no weight gain, but there wasn’t any loss either.

I haven’t been exercising lately either, so I’m going to try to do something at least 2 or 3 times a week. Something is better then nothing.

-13 and counting! 4 months ago

In the last five weeks I’ve managed to take off 13 pounds, through a combination of diet and exercise. Hopefully in five more weeks I can say I’ve lost another 13 pounds on top of this. :)

3 Weeks, 3 New recipes 4 months ago

In the past three weeks, I’ve tried out three new recipes. With a few minor alterations, they’ve all turned out pretty good. And tomorrow I am making chicken soup… and completely winging it. I looked and looked for a recipe that I liked, but none of them looked that good, so I figure I’ll start with my imagination and what I’d like in my soup. I think it’ll turn out alright. :)
