130 down more to go



Tomorrow is my first time ever (I know I cannot believe it either) to have allergy testing. I have been miserable for 34 years and just now getting help for this horrible affliction. I hope they find out what is making me so miserable.
I have lost 130 lbs since Dec 23rd, 2009. 229 days. It has been a long battle but so worth it. I have not felt better in ages. That is a little over .5 lbs a day. Almost .6. I have been doing a lot of exercise in the water and actually swimming!!! For a spinal cord patient, that is a huge feat!
I am working on so many yarn projects. I started some animal cozies today and still working on a baby kimono. I finished a hat but it looked too big so I added elastic in the ribbing and now I think (after measuring and finding the avg size of a baby's head{14 inches})it may be too small. *sigh*
I found a pattern today for felted house shoes and plan to try those out very soon. That is a lot on my plate for now. I have been sorting through some old boxes and found a lot of sewing projects and cross-stitch projects. I cannot die for 40 more years. I have too much to do. I will post some pictures soon. My camera is in need of a chargie poo from vacation. That is why I posted the picture of me from vacation. That is Aug 2010 and 128 lbs down. close to now.
Many Blessings

Rocky Mountain High and Cooler Weather

We enjoyed our trip to CO. A visit to the John Denver Sanctuary and then the Denver area was more than I could expect. Visiting family is always nice. I had a chance to go into the mountains (RMNP) several times and the cool weather was great!!! It is now nice and cool here in North Texas too.
I have used my purse for a few weeks now and I am loving it. I need to charge up the camera and then I will get those pictures. Anyone out there working on a knit or crochet project??? What are you making? I am making baby things for my niece in SA, TX. I hope I get them finished. I have good intentions O;)
Off to knit. Many Blessings.
