I have lost 22 pounds! I stepped on the scale at the doctor's office and started crying. Silly? Yes, but it was an amazing confirmation that I'm doing something right. I'm beyond excited and trying not to be obnoxious in telling everyone I know...lol Yay me!

Go on over to A Mom in Red High Heels and check out her current give away! It's a $300 dollar package that'd be great for any mom-to-be. Here are some of the prizes in the package...
Now you've got to go over and check out what else she's got and if you decide to enter the drawing post my name and the link to my blog so I can be entered a few more times! Deadline Jan. 27th!

So I came across this site from a blog I was checking out and it looked like a really neat idea. I love the idea of being able to lend $25, or more if you're able, to help someone else change their life. It's not just a simple donation it's lending the money and it gets paid back so you can take the money back or loan it to another person in need. Check it out if you get a chance!
Anyone interested in buying some? Lex is taking orders until the 26th of this month...email me... leezardehb @ gmail . com without the spaces :)
Here's what I went with...
She took off about 7 inches and layered it a little. I really like how it turned out :)
Here are two new aprons that I've made. They're two sided and I love them, I don't know how I'm going to sell them...lol
Well, I'm alive...lol Work is keeping me pretty busy these days. It's nice to be back on a more regular schedule and things are going swimmingly at the work place.
My family are all doing well. Will and Renee are going to be having a baby next spring and my parents are getting more work done on their farm to get to the point of milking their own cows. I'm happy to see their progress on that because it's a dream for them and that's so nice to see one coming true. Christine and Arlexis are pretty much the same, work and school are keeping them both quite busy.
My health is in an eh... place right now. I've found out that my cholesterol is out of wack and that I'm prediabetic...fun times! I've made quite a drastic change in my diet and exercise and I'm hoping to get it under control without having to go on drugs. It's a little stressful but I know that I'll get through it no matter how things turn out. I've got a postive attitude and am willing to make almost any change I have to to get back into good health without having to go on meds. As you can see I am not a big fan of drugs and I'm not a big fan of my dr right now because of that reason so I'm looking for a new one and may end up going to one back north because I know they're recomended by my naturopath. My bosses got a new eliptical machine at the nanny house and I think I'm in love with it...lol I worked out on it the other day and in the same amount of time I'd be outdoors walking I did an extra mile and burned over twice as many calories...how cool is that. I won't give up my walking outdoors but I will be adding time on that machine to get some bonus calorie burning!
I'm looking forward to the holidays...I don't care for winter weather all that much but I really do like this time of year leading up to Christmas. It's so crazy to be hearing Christmas music on the radio full time already...seems so wrong but I can't stop myself from flipping over to it every now and again.
So, I think that's all for now. I'd appreciate any thoughts and/or prayers with this health situation and the strength so that I don't let it overwhelm me and freak me out too badly like I like to let things do from time to time.
