No problems!

I listed 5 items in my Etsy shop tonight. Uploaded my pictures - went through the process without a hitch. Unless of course you count my inability to type or choose which order to upload the pictures in! I am getting views - no trouble at all. Only looked in the forums early today, did not post.

AccentsByDave added me to another of his Treasuries - what a guy! He has been absolutely wonderful to the people who have hearted his shop - and I was the first one. But seeing the first necklace he listed - I knew he would do well - he's got a great eye for jewelry and combining stones in just the right way. Plus he has a tendency to use big focal beads which of course, I love! You can find his shop by clicking on the link in the right sidebar. Great stuff!

That's his necklace in the upper right - where did he find that picture jasper heart? It's beautiful! And the stones he used to make up the rest of the necklace are just gorgeous too. I hope you check out his shop! Oh! Dave just opened a second store called Bling 4 Less. Check out that shop too - great quality jewelry for less!

So. On a completely different note - I ordered my food from NutriSystem today. Since I have started spending so much time on this computer, and at my beading table, I have gained a lot of weight. Probably 25 pounds in the last 2 years. WAY more than my 5'4" frame can hold gracefully. And so far - I simply have not been able to get a handle on things. I have been looking for a way to get some discipline and organization into my meals - but have been totally unsuccessful on my own.

So in looking at all the different options I decided on something that just takes the decisions out of my hands for a while so I can get jump started. I need to get used to eating smaller portions and to eating the right foods. I was really good at this a while back, but I have have gotten so far away from it - it isn't funny.

Thought about Slim Fast and those types of things, but I can't do meal replacement stuff, I need to eat real food or I will have a huge rebound when I go off this program. I plan on doing it for about 2 months, can't really afford to do it much longer anyway. There is a work out plan which for me will be key, I need to make some time for that. Kind of excited about it - so of course I had a chocolate concrete with M&M's from Culvers last night!! That last treat kind of thing. I just have to try not to eat that way the whole time while waiting for the food to arrive!

  1. Pretty work!

    My husband and I gave up white flour, refined sugar and all processed or man made foods the first of February and I have lost 50 pounds and my husband has lost 30. He is doing weight training and turning a lot of the fat into muscle and I am just to lazy to walk...wait I am a stay at home foster mom and am usually chasing after somebody! I allow myself to "cheat" every now and then or I am afraid that I will go back to all of the crap. We have gone organic an most of the foods and now the "other stuff" tastes terrible or makes me sick. (Dinner at our favorite mexican restaraunt is worth the yucky tummy every once in a while.)

    Good luck staying on the right track!

  2. Hopefully Nutrisystem is just a jumping off point for me - learning how to cut portions again and relearning how to like chicken breast vs pizza! I've just let it get out of control.
    I totally agree about the Mexican food - m-m-m-m-m .. echiladas!!
