Ok...I decided I am going to buy one of those circle tools that you can get perfect circles by just tracing...that would make this project sooooo much easier. I love it with the pale pink background. Again, I don't think I am going to win the Shop Hop, but it was fun to make this. I still have to applique, but you get the idea! PS the challenge fabric is what the bird is made of.
I am working on a new project to enter in the shop hop contest...I seriously doubt I will win, but it is fun to pretend to be an artist and develop a pattern! I am redoing with different fabrics because I don't like this combination...will post the final product soon and this is obviously not with the applique yet!
SUCKS!!!

1. You may ask yourself how can one person gain 6 pounds in 5 days...because I am a hippo.
2. But on Saturday we went to the gym and I stopped sneaking food.
3. Today I realized I have another 96 pounds to go...just another couple of months ;)

Things that contributed to weight gaine:
Going to a cabin for the weekend and eating:
cookies, friend chicken, mashed potatoes, donuts, hot chocolate,
Then we have been considering buying another house so we ate:
ice cream, italian food (while we were supposed to be at the gym) and Burger King
Then it was Austin's birthday so I ate:
bagels and cream cheese, fried shrimp scampi pasta, ice cream, cake, a lot of chocolate candy, some chips and I am sure I am forgetting something!
YIKES...I had better go workout again!

I got my first "notices" that I was losing weight. I saw a picture though and thought I still looked ginormous. I am such a huge negative talker to myself when I am losing weight. I am not sure how this all started but I often call myself a fat-ass. Somehow it sounds kinder in my head than it does when I say it outloud.
Effects of working out:
1. I am more tired which causes me to lose patience with my family. I become much more irritated when I have to make sweet snacks for boys in the house or when I feel like I have to prepare the food AND clean it up...these things don't usually bother me.
2. I am catching up on some recorded tv because I am using the home gym more often.
3. Some hilarity while RIck tries to use the workout ball...let's just say when he fell of the ball I almost fell of the treadmill.
4. I lose time to do other things I like to do...read, sew, scrapbook, play with my kids, etc...
5. The Biggest Loser (which I love) actually makes me feel bad about myself because I weigh in Tuesday mornings and they weigh in on Tuesday nights...they lose 5-15 pounds and I am supposed to be excited about 2.5 UGHHH...maybe this is when the negative self-talk came into play.
6. I love having supportive girlfriends who are more excited about 2.5 than I am.
7. Rick is very understanding of me being away from home for very little (because he loves spending time with me, not because he is controling), but for working out he is super supportive.
8. Owen and Austin are really excited about working out, but Austin always looks like he going to fly off the treadmill, it is not good for my nerves, so he isn't allowed to do it!
9. Water Aerobics is a huge waste of time and I feel like the hippo in Madagascar 2 "Girl you huuuge" I always think of us splashing around like big fat-ass hippos. I am swearing it off for good!
10. I sleep better after I work out.
