24 Pounds

 
Dear Diary...


Just in case you have not read it on the blog, I am planning on having weight loss surgery! I am so close to having a surgery date I can taste it! I have a goal though, I want to be in onederland! I haven't been there in years! So my goal is to be there before my surgery date, which means I need to lose 24lbs.
 
 
I am frustrated though because the tendinitis in my left food is really bad anytime I start exercising and I really want to step it up! I go to the gym & I do the tire boot camp at my house. I am watching my calories and measuring everything I eat.
 
 
For me though this is a test, I know I shouldn't look at all the pounds in a short amount of time because everyone looses differently, but this is something that is really stuck in me, I don't want to give up this goal!
 
 
Today I did the exercise bike again because I couldn't do the elliptical yet, I wanted to go 40 minutes but it cut me off at 33, that's okay though because I did over 6 miles, I was pretty proud. I then went and treaded water for a half hour. I feel good, except for my foot! So we will see....

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share!   DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts     You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape).     Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features. Don't brush down the neck, stop at chin level so the fabric is loose below that.
