My Smart Crutches came in and I'm loving them! My hands, wrists, shoulders and elbows don't hurt nearly as bad anymore!

Wow, it's been awhile, again... Market season starts again Saturday. Ugg, I don't think I'm ready. In the last few months I've found myself not eating again, so I have started gaining again. I just don't think about food during the day. Then when I do eat it makes me nauseous which makes me avoid eating later in the day…

It's kind of scary how fast time gets away from me these days! Our market season comes to a close this Saturday. But this time it starts back up in February instead of March. So I only get January to design without interruptions from market days. LOL My only complaint with this schedule is that not only do I get physically…

I'm so happy!!! Happy customers make me happy. :smiley:

My newest necklace. Stainless Steel 20 AWG 3/32" rings. The colder air is starting to settle in here in Western New York and my body sure doesn't like it! I'm aching in places I didn't even know could ache. :cry: That doesn't keep me from creating though! The market season is almost over, only three more Sundays to go. I…

Here's the mauve bracelet. I'm listing it right now.

If you are looking at the last two I posted, they aren't on the site, they were wedding gifts. But I can make you one in almost any color combination you want. The pink and black one is made with a smaller gauge wire so it takes more materials and longer to weave and runs about $65 and the blue and black one is around $45,…

Yes I do. You can find me on Facebook as Designs by ScaryAnn and at DesignsbyScaryAnn dot ecrater dot com

I just finished my sleep apnea follow up appointment. I've gone from 88 episodes per hour to two per hour! Huge improvement. :smiley:

I can't express how crazy life has been since I started selling my chainmaille jewelry. I often forget to log what I eat and I can't even remember the last time I stepped on the scale. I still forget to eat some days, but I still feel like I have improved the way I eat from how I'd been eating before starting to eat more.…

Bugga Boo is finally used to the CPAP mask. I've been averaging about 4 apnea's per hour this week. I've slid back slightly on the calorie intake, but not too bad.

The poor cat was scared ****less. She did get brave enough to go so far as to lay on my knees. LOL She normally sleeps on my hip. 2.9 episodes per hour last night. No where near as bad as I was afraid of as my cousin was at 30/hr when she first got hers.

I feel like I'm going to explode, but I'm doing a lot better on calorie intake so far this week. I picked up my cpap machine today and got it all set up to use tonight. I'm actually ready for a nap now, but I'm forcing myself to stay awake :smiley: I'll let you know how the first night goes and if my cat will even come…

This week went fast... We had a wonderful Lavender festival this year! We may have had torrential downpours (at one point we were sitting in three inches of water) but there were so many people!!! We had an amazing amount of sales. Enough that we were able to buy a new canopy with walls! Yesterday we picked up three 16 lb…

Exactly what she said this morning. Now I don't have to do the overnight next week.

Sleep study done last night. I'll find out how many times I quit breathing in my sleep at my follow up appointment, but I do know it was enough times that they hooked me up to the CPAP around 1:30 AM. Finally starting to get some answers after all these years!

Wow guys, life really caught me unaware!!! I'm so sorry to have been gone for so long. I'm still here and still plugging away. Rick and I have turned our chainmaille into a very slowly growing business, so my days have been spent weaving chains and building our business. I'm sad to say that I fell right back into my old…

Well, so much for trying to post from the app... I thought I'd pop in and let everyone know I'm still here and plugging away. :smiley: My summer has been crazy busy. I'm setting up at three farmer's markets! I'm exhausted and almost ready for the season to end, but not ready in the least for it to end at the same time.…

I'm still here, plugging away. :smiley: I have been averaging right around 2300 calories/day. I still have days when I struggle, but they are getting fewer all the time! Still staying right at 305 pounds. Still doing my chainmaille, I've even set up a web site to sell it now. I will be doing my second craft show on…

Peanut butter! Actually most any kind of calorie dense items help. Even after two years at this I still find it difficult at times to hit my 2300 calories every day. Last time I stepped on a scale I was still right on 305. So I guess I finally found my TDEE or at least my current TDEE LOL. I've learned that things like ice…

A quick update... My brother had three major brain surgeries and two angiograms. He is now home! They rerouted his arteries in his brain and removed an aneurysm. He still has a ways to go with PT and speech therapy but he's on the mend. If you want the link to my design pages just PM me.

My sister is currently my Dad's care giver. She's one that doesn't like to be helped, yet insists on helping others. My own back and legs dislocate several times a day now too. My brother came through his final surgery and an angiogram yesterday. He was in surgery for over eight hours.

I'm still here plugging away. I have no idea what I weigh, and I don't even care anymore! That in itself is amazing. I am finally starting to find it easier to eat more. I've also found it much easier to avoid the foods that cause problems. I still want pizza or spaghetti occasionally, but no where near as often. I'm still…

I talked my cousin into being my model so I could see how it looked on someone with a neck! I absolutely love the results. Although the photo doesn't do my cousin nor the necklace any justice. The necklace is for sale on my website, I'm more than happy to send you a link if you send me a pm asking for it. :smiley: I won't…

Hey all, I'm still here and kicking. I just keep forgetting to update. Taking a two week break from another unintentional cut. I don't know why I can only eat at TDEE for a couple of weeks at a time before I just lose all interest in food again for three or four weeks. Oh well, the measurements might not be moving, but I…

mepeiffer, heybales is suggesting that you start your own thread for us all to help encourage you. That way your updates won't get lost in mine. :)
