This week was a good week. Rick and I have placed ourselves on a diet and I've managed to lose 5 lbs this week. It makes me feel better to know that I'm on the right track and keeping a positive mental attitude. I made out a menu plan and we've been good about sticking to it. Having less carbohydrates really makes a difference in my energy. I don't notice the fluctuation that I usually do (highs and lows are a bummer) and I don't feel so bogged down. Since I love vegetables and meat it's not such a big deal to me. Tonight I decided to treat myself to a glass of wine (or 2 - hee hee!) so I was good with the diet all day and got on the bike for 25 minutes to sweat it out before sitting down and relaxing. I just have to think about balance. I don't miss anything so far! And I feel great. Wish me luck for the next 4 weeks! I'm gonna go another week with little or no carbs and hopefully get my sluggish body into gear with my new fitness regimine (X-treme Fitness classes-Zumba, Butts-Guts-& More, Yoga, Pilates) and bust out a new ME!! I've been attending classes since the first of October and can already see and feel the difference! Anyone interested can come join me. WE get people coming from Rochester for these classes too! The instructors are from the Rochester Athletic Club!! it's amazing!!!
My business shows will start ramping up in March. It's exciting to think about the direction of it all. I may look for some help this summer to hit more shows and a broader market in the Minneapolis area. Anyone interested in a good part time summer job that pays really well- gimme a call. Only requirement is to have good salesmanship and the ability to communicate with people to understand and tap into their needs for optimum sales!
I am doing a market show this Sunday in LaCrosse. This allows me the opportunity to sell some of my commercial items I can't retail at craft shows. The weather looks pretty crappy for Sat. & Sunday so I'm hoping I can make it over there and that attendance will be good. Send out those positive thoughts ok?
Have a great weekend everyone!
So fun to see my 26 year old daughter still enjoying the snow! 
The kitties are amazed and confused! Biddy-what's out the window?
Happy Christmas Everyone!
Megan brought her special guy home for a good ol' fashioned meal complete with smoked BBQ Pork (thank you Rick-Yum!) and cheesy potatoes! We were happy to meet Josh. A nice small town boy from Plymouth, MN. This is the only picture I took the whole day! I was busy cooking and preparing. Rick has always been the photographer in our house but has totally slacked in his duties since the kids graduated from high school. I don't get it but, whatever. We're just lucky to have gotten this one shot (taken by me). I'll do better next time (or should I say Rick will).
