    Thank you. The picture is cross stitch done from a kit. Of course I got off the pattern so added rows where they shouldn't be. I am not a painter. I am very happy with the results.
    I never knew that a cross-stitch could be that intricate. It’s amazing!

    @sandielewis2001 you are beautiful in your before and after pic. I like your hair change in the after pic and you look healthier and happier.
    the tattoo of the dog on you upper leg is pretty. I want to get my first tattoo, but I can’t think of a design. Did you design that yourself?

    @rachelrjh - I am not an artistic person at all so I usually start with just an idea of what I want and find an artist who has work I love. Then I let them run with the idea. For the dog on my leg I started with a picture of my dog and found an artist who did the really cool geometric style. He combined the two and I love the result!

    July Week Five

    Weigh In Day: Wednesdays
    PW (Previous Weight): 168.6 (July 21st)
    CW (Current Weight): 169.6 (July 28th)
    LTD (Loss to Date): 64.4 lbs

    I've been slowly gaining throughout the month, and I'm desperately trying to pin it on water retention from weight lifting, but I know deep down inside it's from some poor diet choices that I keep saying I'll adjust and never do. I made several batches of cookies over the past few weeks, making sure to rigorously taste-test, because it would be horrible if a cookie from the front of the baking sheet tasted any different than the cookie from the back.

    The good news is that the first step towards making any change is recognizing the problem is there, and I have quite a few ideas to use the veggies I recently purchased from the farmer's market, so I'll hopefully have the mental shift I need while cooking up some roasted veggie tacos. And hopefully that shift lasts through my weekend of Renaissance Faire food and my short visit into Wisconsin. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    Picked a frame and mats for the cross stitch today. A light pink and a red wine color with a dark frame. Expect it to be done in about a month. Will post a picture then
