Getting Closer

Okay, time for a little bragging. This may not seem like much but to me it means that I am that much closer to meeting my goal weight (for knee surgery) of 210. Only 29 more pounds to go!! That means that I have lost 36 pounds so far!! Woohoo!! Of course, I want to get to 135, which is my ideal weight, but look at how much progress I have made so far! So excited!

Okay, as of now, June 14, 2022, I am now down at 236 pounds. That is 40 pounds gone for good and 26 pounds to go to meet 210.

July 29, 2022, I am now down to 232 pounds. I am now down 44 pounds! Woohoo!!

Saw my PCP this morning and he wants me to check my blood pressure once a day for 3 weeks as it is a little on the high side. I think it was high as I have not been sleeping well and have had a lot of pain for the past week, but he still wants me to check it manually at the same time every day. I will do it but under protest! We both think that Sjogren’s Syndrome may have something to do with it and I will be starting tomorrow.

I am actually fitting into smaller sized clothes and have been on a shopping spree lately, buying new capris, tops and even some summer dresses! I feel like a new person and feel better mentally! I am very happy! Tomorrow I will go back to the gym after a week off as I had pulled a muscle in my leg last weekend and needed to rest it.

Another update! August 24, 2022. I am now down at 225 pounds. The new clothes that I bought are hanging off of me, just too small for my britches! Very happy!! That is a grand total, so far, of 51 pounds! Only 90 more pounds to go! I CAN do this and I will DO this!

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters. Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
