tomorrow is....

weigh in day...sigh.
Tis will mark the fourth week I have used a trainer....and up until today I have not seen a difference in anything....clothes....scale...anything. I've been walking 30 minutes 3 times a week and even adding a few jogs in there. We will see what the scale says tomorrow and it BETTER have budged is all I gotta say.

Nothing really going on today. It's raining. AGAIN! Spent way to much at Target but got some great deals. I don't know what is worse...trying to save money and get those GREAT deals and spending more than expected or just buying as I go along...lol.

No big plans for the week. I have a large painting I need to start but this rain has me bummed and not in the mood. I think I would rather have snow. And lots of it. Rain sucks! But then it has been raining here since September and I am over it.

A weekend quickly gone again

So this weekend went by pretty quickly. Faster than I wanted it to because I really don't feel I got anything accomplished. Saturday was spent mostly on the road running here and running there. I did get the love painting above completed and my friend Rosalind from California bought it. I wish I could fly out to her house to see my artwork hanging on her walls. She has some of my favorite pieces and that excites me so much.

Sunday wasn't much better on the getting things done. My quilt is STILL sitting in the chair unfinished. Kayla had to use my computer from 8 until 3 today to do school work she was behind on so I got no computer work done. but I did finish the coffee painting above and one scrapbook page. Headed out to Michael's and got a 28x26 canvas to start painting a cabin picture for a friend of the family. this one really makes me nervous but I will see what I can do. I sent an email to the Paulding arts Association to see if they are still having an art show in March. If so I really need to get busy drawing a picture I started last year but I will wait and see what they say first I guess. Not really ready to start the work week all over again. Last week was just to stressful for me but hopefully this next week will be better.

My work out from Wednesday STILL has me hurting. I am thinking I need to chat with the trainer and tell him to tone it down some. I can't believe how much I still hurt. I did go and just walk on Friday. I tried my hand at running some but was only able to run about 1/4 a mile if that. Maybe I can do more this next week. We will see. I still haven't dropped any weight. That is frustrating...very frustrating.

Hope everyone has a great upcoming week....

Oh and I didn't finish in the top of the Purple Cow contest. But at least I was in the top 25 which was exciting. I wish I could of known a little more so I could of asked for votes but I guess we went about it the right way of just having people vote for who they liked. I am just excited to have been in the 25. Kinda gave me some confidence to keep on submitting which I have slacked up on. Just haven't had any luck or to many no's coming my way that have shot me down so I kinda just stopped for a bit. Sometimes I think my time of glory is fading fast or already over with. time will tell I guess

New Painting for the day

I started this painting on Tuesday....had planned on finishing on Wednesday but shall I say the trainer kicked my tush once again. I barely can lift my arms over my head. We did nothing but triceps and biceps work....it was killer...so I didn't finish this painting until today. I think it turned out pretty cute. It's different. I wasn't sure if I would like the writing along the bottom but it is growing on me. This one is 16x20 and will sell for $40. I hit Michaels today and was able to get 6 jars of my acrylic paint for $12! they usually retail for $10.00 a jar! I was BEYOND excited may I just say! now mind you they are all funky colors but hey...paint is paint right :)

Bought some more canvases too. Why I don't know because I seriously can't paint anything else until I sell some of these . I have used up all my spare room in my craft room and can't store anymore. I just am not sure how to get them out there more than I already do. Oh well....it will happen sometime.

I need to get back into scrapping some more. I got 6 layouts done at the end of January but I have a layout I need to start now that is due next week. I am just stumped on what to do with the page. I need an inspiration whack upside the head :)

Weighed in today and I am not so proud to say I have lost NOTHING in the last 6 weeks. Not a single pound. What is up with that...grrrrr. I will not measure until next week so we will see what that tells me.

Tonight is Grey's night. I hope I can stay up and watch it. I am so pooped from all the stuff I am trying to get done at work. It is really draining my brain waves let me just tell ya. I am so ready for this weekend to get here so I can rest up some.

Hope all is going well on your end. Just tired and stressed over here but I will see the light eventually. I DO need to finish this last project I have for a special friend. I just have a tad bit more to do on it and I can mail it. If I didn't spend so much time on FACEBOOK I am sure it would be done now....lol

hugs and love from me to you....
