Where have I been you ask?

Hello!

Whew! It has been some time since I have posted a blog!!!

Well I wanted to assure you that although I have been absent for the last month that I have not given up on my journey.

We will just say that I took a slight detour. I have been working on getting back into my regular routine since my toe was worked on and I was out for a while nursing my foot back to a place where I could wear shoes.

Here are a few things that happened while I was "detouring"













*I finished my chair! 
HUGE SUCCESS!!!!


















* I finished knitting my throw blanket! I know right in time for summer! HAHA! But Seriously... SO comfy!




* I made some artwork
for our Hobbies room!
(The multicolored one is made 
with paint samples!)


*Aaron and I got to spend our first Easter together as a married couple!


 * I got to spend the whole day with these lovely ladies doing girly things and having so much fun together!



 So...Much happened while I was absent from you. But I must admit...I did miss my blogging!

 And I am happy to report that it is feel much better! I have one last appointment with the Doctor this coming Monday and I am hoping that this will be the last visit to him.

So a little bit about my journey detour...Well I wasn't able to work out or really do much walking there for the first couple of weeks so naturally I turned to comfort foods and didn't get much exercise (I was not even able to walk down and get the mail!)

So I had gained some weight back during that time.

I was pretty discouraged but there was not too much that I could do for that time.

Well luckily it started feeling better....and I got to go back to the gym!!!

YAY!

Who knew that I would actually miss going to the gym?!?

So now after all this time (like over a month!) I am back to my normal routine! And it feels fantastic!

Since I got back into my routine I have lost the weight that I had gained back during my "detour" (which was about 4.5 pounds)

And now my weigh-in Wednesday

And my current weight is....

242!

YES!!

So that means that I am now 14 pounds down!

I know during my little detour I did lose a lot of time that I could have been losing but it was a learning experience for sure!

And now I'm very motivated!
