Baby Shower favors, gifts, and corsage I was working on...

These are some pictures of the favors, gifts, and corsage I made for Victoria's Baby Shower.

These are personalized Candy Wrappers I made for the Baby Shower and they were given out as favors.

I only made the cookies on this picture...I was supposed to decorate them, but I was not feeling very well and didn't get to finish them...I was very dissapointed.

This is the Baby Shower corsage I made for the mom to be.

 

Here again the mom to be with her corsage.

 

Ruby won on one of the games which was the Prize Is Right and she got close to the correct amount. The gifts were put in a tiny diaper holder. It was so cute!

This is the basket I made for my sister's gift to the mom to be. Victoria is my sister's BFF, and she wanted to give her a special gift. So she bought all sorts of goodies, such as clothes, toys, and her breast pump.

Gained 9 pounds...I feel bad about it...but not quiting!

I weighed myself today...and I knew I was not going to like what I saw. I am weighing 197 pounds. I have been baking cupcakes, cookies, and being busy attending parties, and with craft projects; I haven't been eating healthy. I haven't had time to exercise, and haven't had time to eat on my regular schedule. Well, I will start back on track tomorrow...I will not give up. Those 9 pounds won't make me quit.

Lost 6 Pounds This Past week

I weighed myself on Friday October 15, and the scale was showing I weighed 190 lbs.  I had lost 4 pounds since my last weigh in.   I was so excited I posted it on my Facebook page.  Then the next day which was Friday, I weighed myself again and it showed I was weighing 188 lbs.  I had lost 2 more pounds.  I had been busy getting ready for my party; I forgot to eat those three days.  I know it is not healthy, but all I ate was a piece of bread, and drank my green tea.  I won't do that again, because now I have the sniffles.  I am not feeling to good.  I guess my immune system is not as healthy as it should be. 

Well My daughter and my Birthday party came out okay.  Here are some pictures so that you can see.

This is my Family.

These are the goodie bags.

These are the cupcakes I made.

This was the store bought cake

Cupcakes I made on the cupcake stand.

We had a wonderful time.  Ready for the next party next week.  My neice Briana will be turning 9 on October 26, and her party will be this weekend October 24.  I will be making another set of cupcakes.

Birthday Party Invitation for Ruby's and My Halloween Birthday Celebration

This is the invitation I created to invite friend and family to my daughter Ruby's and My Birthday Party Celebration.

Full of Endorphins

Today I jump started my day with my cup of green tea, breakfast, and my workout. I am full of endorphins like Leslie mentions in her video. - Did you know that the release of endorphins relieves pain, reduces stress, relieves anxiety, enhances the immune system and they postpone the aging process.

1 cup of green tea
1 piece of wheat with 1 tbs. of peanut butter
will drink plenty of water

4 mile walk

Now headed to the shower - I had a good sweat.

Feeling Tired

I was feeling very tired today; I haven't been working out for about a week, and I had not been eating healthy. I felt drained. Well I worked out to my 4 mile walk with Leslie Sansone's video, and I feel energized... Can you belief a 50 minute workout makes you feel so much better. Like Hippocrates would say "Walking is man's best medicine."

Lost 1 Pound

I weighed myself yesterday October 2nd, and I have lost 1 more pound. It is a great feeling. I have lost 24 pounds total, since June 29th.
