No Idea

 After doing this for so many years you would think I would know the steps but I deleted all the old stuff and instead of researching it to find a form I'm just going with it. My word at the beginning of the year was thrive. I have done that even if it doesn't feel that way some days. I saw 199lbs on my scale again so I know I can get there but I returned to 207lbs within a couple of days. Since this is the second time I have seen 199lbs on the scale (a year apart but still) I know it is possible. I just need to alter my mental perception as I did when I reached 220lbs. Your body gets used to a weight and if you get below that weight your body demands more food so you get back to where it is comfortable not where you want to be. I am aware of it this year, I watched as my body suddenly started pushing me to eat more and not being prepared for it's stubbornness I allowed it its way. The next time I see 199lbs on the scale I'm gonna pay attention and mentally direct my bo

 So it's that time of year again. A few major positives this year and a couple of bad ones. The Good Stuff: I had several of my bucket list items come true this year: I flew on an airplane for the first time. I admit it's a lot of stuff to go through to get to the plane but the ride itself was super. I even had a window seat on the way to Calgary.  I have always wanted to spend some time at the Calgary Stampede and this year I got to spend several hours on the fairground and I watched a couple of chuckwagon races. Maybe next time I'll get to see some of the trick-riding and the bull-riding stuff which are the other two things I'm interested in. I have always wanted to see West Edmonton Mall and we spent a couple of hours wandering around there. I got to see Joseph on stage! Plus a lot of other good stuff happened: We went to Canmore and I got to see the Three Sisters (Mountains in Alberta, I always thought it was all flat country) We took a road trip during the color ch

 I bought myself a Birthday gift, it is a bit expensive but considering the works I have done in just this past month I am I'm ok with that. Since October was also my wedding anniversary I treated myself to an option that is proving invaluable. I used Photoshop almost exclusively for awhile but then switched back to Paintshop Pro for a bit. When I found all of the Adobe applications were available for 81 bucks a month I grabbed it, we are talking something that can run to $200 or $300 a month otherwise. That was my birthday present to myself, my anniversary gift to myself cost another $45 per month. It is the Creative Assets portion of Photoshop and it has thousands of images on it plus the AI Dream-up which allows you to use words to describe what you want in a image and creates it for you, fantabulous! https://www.deviantart.com/cherylann1960 to check it out
