Weekly Update and Skinny Jeans!

Mark decided to go play golf today (shocker) so I decided that I would stitch an ornament really quick then work on Summer Ball....really quick and easy ...right...I first started on some sparkly Jazlyn fabric. I stitched the middle snowflake and HATED it!!! So, I went and pulled this dark 32 ct. Lakeside Linen ....I hate linen but I just knew this was the perfect fabric.  I worked all day and evening....this is as far as I got.   I kept having to frog the lettering because it wasn't coming out right.  I stitched the S and T from the worked STITCHED...five times!!!!!   Now, I just have to pull a pretty blue and rose so I can stitch the border.

Summer ball if fixed!!!!!  I worked on this Friday and Saturday.  It is now fixed and I don't think that you can see that I missed an entire row and had to adjust!!!!

I just couldn't resist taking this really cute picture of Brigen napping in front of my Disney tree!  There is actually a fire going in the fireplace and he is just loving every minute of his warm, toasty nap. 

So Happy!!! I pulled out my workout shorts and then my skinny jeans that I am working to fit into again.  Last time I tried them on, I couldn't get them past my midthigh....Today,  I got them up to the middle of my backside!!!!  This is exciting progress!!!!  So far, I have lost 9.2 lbs, 3 inches off my butt, and 2 inches off my legs.  I am almost to the 10 lb. mark.  I have been trying to eat 87.7 grams of protein a day, staying under 1200 calories and working out with my wii fit.  I have try and do a 30 minute free run everyday and I am up to 60 squats a day!!!!!  So, now I need a workout for my arms.    I was very worried about posting this picture but I covered my face pretty well... I can just see this going viral as a wonderful before picture!!!!!  Next month, I hope to be able to get them over my hips!  We shall see!!!!!!
