Progress Report - Lynne

I've lost 4-1/2 pounds since Christmas. ;-)

I haven't been walking. :-(
I haven't got started working with weights either. :-(

The kitchen is clean, and I want to leave it clean before going to bed each night. I don't want to wake up to a messy kitchen with dirty dishes in the sink. ;-)

The rest of the house is finally getting back to normal after the holiday season. I want to keep it clean and neat. It makes me feel good. ;-)

I am sleeping better at night. Sleeping better means I make better eating decisions during the day, and I don't find myself standing in front of the refrigerator, eating, at 2:00 in the morning. (Hot flashes have made it very difficult over the last few years, and I can't take Estrogen.) ;-)

I want to spend less on groceries every week. My goal is to stay under $100. Two weeks, so far, so good. I am really planning my menus and working to use my pantry and the stuff in my freezer more effectively. ;-)

I have been working on my special project.

Lynne - A few little things of my own

I've packed on a bit of weight since last summer, and I want to get rid of it this year. I need to lose 14 pounds.

I also want to walk for 20 minutes at least 3 times a week.

I also have to work out with weights. I have osteoporosis, and I need the weight work to help build my bone density.

I have to make two Gizzy Quilts for the lady who graciously met me at the airport last summer and brought me to my hotel.

I have to make two more for another blogger who donated many yards of beautiful fabric.

I have to finish a yellow quilt for my son.

I am working on a quilt for myself.

I want to keep my house clean and neat, and not let it get really messy.

My big project for this year is a big secret. I'm not divulging anything about it to anybody. The Devil Dog and Mr Karate know what it is, and they can hold me accountable if I don't work on it at all.
