It sure felt good to get that wind in my face, and know that home was just a ferry ride away
(even if I did have to wait through 2 ferry sailings in the scorching heat to get there.)

A very short 2 days away, and I am back at the bench, like the busy bee I am!

Goals for the Soul : Week 6 and Recap

YES.
yes.
HECK YES!

I weighed in at -10lbs today. My first weight loss goal and I almost cried a bit (actually I am surprised I didn't, being the emotional soul I am)

Not only did I meet my weekly goal, but I have lost 10lbs in 5 weeks, and I feel DAMN good about that. Just the thought of possibly needing to buy smaller sized fall clothes has me giddy.

I am on my way!

My Goal for the this next week ( Week 6) is try and fit in a walk each day this weekend. I am heading up the coast for some family time, and plan on talking this little guy for some adventures.

I am sure we can get into some good mischief together ;-)

You May Be a Metalsmith When...

... when you realize that painting your nails before working with files and sandpaper is a BAD idea.

Of course, you realize this *after* doing so.

Made just for YOU

I've held onto this gorgeous Imperial Jasper now for far too long.
It *needed* to be a ring, but I wanted everyone to have the chance to wear it, so I have not set the stone yet. Instead, when you purchase this ring, I will be sizing it just for your finger, then set the stone.

I know it is meant to be for someone out there ;-)

Weekly Goals for the Soul : Week 5

First and foremost - YES I did hit the gym three times last week, so I met my challenge from last week head on! I will be attempting this every week, but we all know how life goes ;-)

Some notes from last week:

- I am actually liking the gym? I question this newfound enjoyment of physical fitness due to the fact I have NEVER enjoyed sweating, but perhaps seeing that scale move weekly has propelled me into a new phase in my life.

- Pedicured toes with OPI's "Ate Berries in the Canaries" seemed like a perfect reward for 4 weeks of continued dedication to my new lifestyle. Felt pretty good to reward myself with something other than food!

- A rare treat, a Tim Hortons Honey Cruller, was devoured yesterday. I should be good for a while now ;-)

- A non-scale victory : a blouse I accidently bought in the wrong size at Christmas that never fit, now fits. How sweet that feels.

Week Five's Challenge :

Finally break through my first 10 pounds lost ( I am SO close at 9 pounds) and put myself into a new weight bracket.

Think I can do it?
