much better now!

The day after the 4th I came down with a cold. How someone gets a cold in July is beyond me, but I did it. To make things worse I had to sleep elevated so I could breathe and ended up getting a terrible strain in my neck that lasted 4 days! I still have just a bit of a kink along with a cough, but other than that I'm so much better now. thank, God!

on a happier note - I have broke the plateau! I finally lost an extra pound so not only did I lose the 5 pounds I gained at Christmas, I lost an extra! I wish I could say I did it while still eating breads and grains and carbs. but I can't. Carbs are bad - I know that now. and by not eating them I have lost more weight. So I'll keep going with it and see what happens. BUT - when family comes to visit and they want to go to Zio's for dinner - I'm totally going for it! I figure if I can do good and get the weight off a treat every now and then won't KILL me! might make me gain a few pounds, but now I know how to get them off! Now to lose those last 20 that I've been working towards!

I also, just today, finished the last of my design team projects for the Aug/Sep issue of Ready, Set, Create!!!! I need to get photos taken and send them off to Jen - but I'm done and that is a great feeling!!!!

Hope ya'll had a great weekend - I hope to be back with some new photos later in the week!
