HCB, because you were asking about my jewelry, here is my
Portfolio
. I haven't been great at keeping it updated. In fact I think I've had a few pieces go that I didn't get photoraphed, but you are welcome to look.

Today I have big plans. Get my workout in, eat well, go up to the shopping center for a walk, and work on making some jewelry today. I just have to keep myself from sitting down behind facebook or apps. :D

A headache knocked me out from doing a plasma donation, or exercise last night. On the up side, it also knocked out any desire to eat. After Starbucks, a cupcake, beef sticks all being offered at work, and an insane craving for string cheese, skipping dinner kept me under FS' RDI for me. Today a friend wants me to go sample some fitness classes offered by the gym she belongs to with her. Social anxiety is already kicking in, trying to find whatever excuse I can to not call her. But I have no good reason not to, and there's another part of me thinking about whether maybe taking a yoga or kickboxing class at the Rec would be fun. Today gives me a chance to see if I might like one of those, or even something different. And I'm telling myself it's my substitute for walking today. I still have a little bit of a headache, but not enough to hold me back. The new bed is doing wonders for sleep, and helping with neck and back pain so far. I can do this! All I have to do is dial seven numbers, get a time, and drive up there.

losing 1.4 lb a week
12 February 2016
I very seriously doubt my Fat Tuesday (done on Wednesday) caused the gain, although I suppose it's possible. I'm thinking high sodium and water retention are the culprits at the moment. I will weigh in again in a couple of days and see if that's the case.
In the meantime, I was back on track for food yesterday, not so much yet on exercise. Tonight I go in for a Plasma Donation, which generally leaves me feeling pretty wiped out afterwards. But I will get my walk in over lunch.
I finally broke down and bought myself some clothes last night. Something someone else on here said prompted me to it. They said they might as well be comfortable on their journey, and then reward themselves with smaller clothes when they get there. I got a few new outfits for the office, without spending an exorbitant amount of money. (10dollarmall.com rocks, just sayin'.)
I have this thing about buying clothes. I very rarely ever buy anything new for myself. I grew up pretty poor, so most of the clothing I've owned in my life has been second hand. Even now I have friends at the office who clean out their closets and give me clothes. Whatever doesn't fit me, now fits my girls. But I now outweigh most of my wardrobe.
I was the oldest child for the most part. Now I'm a mom. I am stuck in this mentality that everyone else comes first, and my needs come last, and well if they don't get met, then that's just part of it. I've learned not to consider myself a priority. It's bred frustration and resentment, then eventually resignation. I got out of that mode a couple of years ago when I made it down to 165 or so. But I of course fell back into it.
I'm learning to prioritize my care. It's had the positive effect of showing my now tween and teen children that, hey, mom's a human being too, and as human beings we each get to say we need some time, or some money, or some energy to invest in ourselves, not at the expense of anyone else, but in the hopes that we can all work better as a team.
I've resisted working out in the living room, because my children, in their ignorance, have made fun of my weight in the past. My husband would not do that, but I still find I am thoroughly embarrassed at the idea of working out in front of him. I was shocked a few days ago when my 15 year old told me she wanted to start working out with me. Now we just have to carve out some time. And I flat told the kids I would be happy to exercise with them, but they are not allowed to laugh at me. It's my own insecurity, but it is a pretty vulnerable spot for me, being laughed at by the people I love the most.
The new bed is awesome. I slept pretty well, although I will have to get used to the adjustable base vs. sleeping on a flat surface. And I can't wait to get down to the rec center to get our memberships.
At the moment, things look promising, and I feel like I may finally have the tools to make this stick this time. Time will tell. Someone please remind me of my optimism when my discouragement hits again.

gaining 2.5 lb a week
11 February 2016
I hate the dentist. The downside to having an appointment the first thing in the morning, is grabbing something on the go. The upside is the anesthetics made it difficult to chew properly. Also arriving at work late resulted in being pulled into a meeting and I only made it through 1/2 of a to-go breakfast.
It's not been a hungry day, just a tired one. So tonight I will have to make sure to do my work out, with the motivation I get to drop off to sleep in the new bed we had delivered today. Maybe my husband and I both will actually get a good night's sleep tonight!
