Carole's Prompt: Ten Things You are Proud You Did in 2015

By -
Here goes:

1. I lost 30 pounds on Weight Watchers in 2015.
I'm not proud that I had more than 30 pounds to lose.
It has been very difficult.  I didn't want to blog about it during the year.   The trick will be to keep it off.
There.  That's 30 things I'm proud of. 
 
(I finished these socks last night.  Cherry Tree Hill, I love thee)

Congrats! That is awesome.

Since I went on insulin, I have gained back the 35 pounds I lost. I am on a path to lose it all (and more) again. I would like to lose at least 60 pounds. Seventy would be even better!

Congratulations on the weight loss. You are amazing!! I will keep trying this year. Never give up I say.

I love the sock colors! I have been spending most of my knit time on socks for the last few weeks and I'm reaching the point where I will have to knit something else for a while. Don't know what!

The thing I am most proud of in 2015 is that I didn't crab about not being retired. Now I am starting another year of year-end financials, reports, taxes--the works. Clients are already dropping off end of the year stuff and I am not crabby but I am wondering, "What's up with this? Am I really going to put another year into this?" We'll see.

I am just SO impressed that you lost 30 pounds! I lost 20 on WW years ago, and I kept it off for a long time. You can do it!

I lost 8 pounds this fall by cutting refined sugar out of my diet (I have a wicked sweet tooth!), but I gained a lot of it back this holiday season. I am so mad at myself! But I know what I have to do going forward.

Well done you! I need to get serious about dropping a few myself. Not from vanity but I just don't feel right when my weight creeps up on me.
Love those socks. They look so warm. We might need warm this winter. I'm still waiting.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
