i started back with water aerobics this week. man, did it feel good working out even though my knee hurt some afterwards. this week at weight watchers i lost the 4 pounds from last week, plus another pound (knew it was water retention!). so that makes 27 pounds lost so far. our last meeting with this cycle is this upcoming wednesday. i'm hoping to lose the 4 pounds to get to my 10% goal. we'll see. i'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to stay on track.
tomorrow janelle will be in columbia again for an fbla meeting. you know what that means...i'll hit up hobby lobby for yarn shopping. :) they've got some of my favorite synthetic yarn on sale this week. i'm going to stock up for a project i joined. i'm in a ravelry group that's knitting and crocheting blocks for afghans for the victory junction gang camp.
i haven't been exactly on fire with knitting or crocheting the squares so far, but i've got some inspiration. i did manage to crochet 3 granny squares while i was watching some of the california race last sunday. the colors make me think of chocolate covered cherries (i'll post pics soon). i used some leftover red heart symphony yarn i had bought on clearance at one of the local wal-marts. the yarn is soft and fuzzy and i thought it would make a cuddly blanket to send in. janelle said she wanted me to make her one with the same colors. so i'm going to be on the hunt for some of the red heart symphony tomorrow.
janelle and i are bringing suzy home with us tomorrow too. she is going to see a specialist in marietta about her fibromyalgia. mom is taking her up sunday evening because her appointment is early monday morning. suzy has had a rough few months. she had to go to the hospital twice yesterday. at one point they thought she was having a seizure, but the er doc found that she was having a reaction to the combination of meds the 1st hospital gave her. i talked to her today and she sounded tired, but much better than last night when she talked to mom. i hope this specialist figures out how to help her. i couldn't imagine going through some of the stuff that she has gone through.
it really makes me thankful that i'm healthy with the exception of being overweight. i have finally reached that breaking point where i'm tired of being fat and want to get healthy again. i'm very lucky, as i've said, that i don't have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. many folks are very surprised that i don't have any of those problems. i just know once i lose another 20 or so pounds, i'm really going to kick things in high gear as far as my activity level. right now i still feel real clumsy with some things and am a little tentative to try. the one area i've suffered the most is my self esteem. but i'm working on it by continuing with the weight watchers and water aerobics. i'll get there...it didn't take overnight to put this weight on. so i know it will take a while to get it off. slow and steady wins the race, right?

Hello my friend. I think you are a beautiful person inside and out and I am very thankful to have met you. My only regret is that we're both so busy with these girls of ours that we've not had any time to get together. I keep hoping that once the end of March is here, my schedule might open up more. It would be great to get together for some coffee, WW treats, and knitting.
