2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning
Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing
What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?
I do all sorts of crafts, paint watercolours, write poetry. I am an ex-teacher, so I run 4 groups for a local charity and belong to another 10 or so, but will have to put them on hold until I recover from my hip op. I have a new patchwork project, my first full quilt, which I hope will keep me busy.

I am not having much luck with weight loss. I keep losing my motivation and I am so tired after a day at work. I am too tired to worry about calories at the end of the day and mess up much of the time. I am a new empty nester and it so much easier to stop for food on the way home.
1. 6 glasses of water tomorrow
2. Do not stop for fast food on the way home from work.
3. Pack my lunch and pay attention to the calories I am packing.
