Finding Joyce

I am up extraordinarily late for a Saturday night/Sunday morn. I probably should have been to bed about 2 1/2 hours ago, but instead, I got swept up in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1 and looking at all the blogging beautiful-ness that abounds on the Internet.

Anyway, I got to thinking about talents and such while looking at all the blogs that I follow and I've come to the conclusion that I am far less crafty/creative than I want to be. So in my quest of getting a little bit of me back and in the name of the Year of Expression, I am going to get back to the things that make me happy. I am far more happy when I am creative and/or creating things. I've started my knitting again this week as well as picking up on my blogging/writing.

So, as soon as I find a decent - and cheap - lens for my bargain/steal of a camera body, I will be taking pictures of all the dish towels I've knitted, new things I've learned to cook and new patterns I've learned to sew or crochet. I'm also dabbling in a SMALL garden this summer. I started late in the season, but I have a small little flower on my tomato plant and the pansies I re-potted look happier.

It's only onward and upward from here, my friends. I am bound and determined to find me again. I didn't lose me...I've just neglected myself for a time. It is what it is, though. And I'm excited to start re-inventing myself.

hoorah!

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Slowly but surely

The weight loss has slowed just a little. I've only lost roughly 3 pounds this week. But I am determined to lose at least 80 pounds by my birthday. It's a tall order that's for sure. I have about 34 days to do it. I have to lose 2.4 pounds a day to surpass my goal by a little over than a pound. I suppose I'll have to be more diligent on my diet and exercising. I won't be disappointed if I come close though. The whole point of me going on any sort of exercise/diet plan is to get healthy and to get ready for Hawaii. I refuse to fly on a plane at my current weight. Mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed if I have to get a seat belt extender. I don't want to. I refuse to be one of those people that have to get special accommodations because of my weight just to fly. I think that I've come a long way from how I ate and exercised before. I pretty much look forward to my walks every day and I don't crave soda anymore. I actually had about 4 ounces of...

Hooray for Holi!

My friend Kim and I will be going to celebrate Holi with our fellow Hindus today. I'm not sure if half the people going today actually know what Holi is except for the fact that it is fun. Go to this link and learn about Holi! *Pictures will be forthcoming!* **ETA: So, there was a HUGE accident on the freeway on the way to Spanish Fork yesterday and being the impatient driver that I am, decided to go around the accident. We went through Springville and Mapleton to avoid the accident. Well, not knowing what exit we were at, we weren't sure where we were and completely missed the festival. I was a little bummed. Well, a lot bummed. Kim and I went up the Spanish Fork Canyon instead to a town that was flooded years ago. Hopefully Kim won't hate me forever for missing the festival...
